ROME, September 6.

It is semi-officially announced that the Greek Government has informed the Italian, French, and British representa-tives that the Greek fleet has been sent from Salamis to Volo in order to avoid contact with any Italian warships that might approach the neighbourhood of Athens, and to establish the fact that

Athens is a defenceless city.
