LONDON, April ~ The most serious
feature in the Gr@co-Turkish emer-
gency is the revolutionary feeling dis.
played at Athens. Ex.Minister Ralli,
leader Of the principal opposition
group in the Legislative assembly,
threatened that, unless the military
staff was changed, he would issue
proclamation to the people. His state.
ments acted like oil upon fire, and the
popular excitement has fared up.
Crowds assembled in the streets
TO discuss them and wanted
to march to the palace to read
them to King George. Fortunately
heavy showers drove the people in
doors. M. Delyannis, keenly alive to
the necessity of immediate action, had
an audience with the king, and after
the interview announced that the staff
Of the crown prince would be recalled,
and that ex-Minister Ralli, with three
Of his nominees, Gen. Smolenski, Gen.
Mavromiachelli and Col Dimopoulo,
would be appointed to replace them.
The Daily Telegraphs Athens corre-
spondent said to-day: All of M, Ralli's
conditions have been accepted. The
king gives carte blanche to his minis
ters. As the public begins to learn
the truth, anger against the palace
party increases, and feeling of hostil-
ity against M. Delyannis is steadily
growing. Late last night crowds
paraded menacingly in the vicinity Of
the palace. 1t is reported on good
authority that arrangements are being
made to enable the royal family to
leave the country hastily Ia case of
necessity. People had generally credited
the rumors that the crown prince
would be recalled and that the govern
ment was willing to consider peace
overtures. 1t is impossible to say what
will happen when it is known that the
war Is to be continued and the crown
prince retained in command M. Rail-
believes the abandonment of Tyrnavo
and Larissa to have been not only un-
necessary, but most lily advised as 1t
endangered the safety of Gen. Smolen-
skis column, which, however, for.
tunately succeeded in making its way
TO Pharsala.
The dispatches of the special CORE.
spondents published to-day consist for
the most part Of additional details Of
the Greeks discontinue. The Turkish
plans are not yet revealed. There is
no doubt now that Crown Prince Con.
stantine ordered the bridges to be de-
stroyed before the Greeks abandoned
Larissa, but damage could not be done |
beyond what could be easily repaired
by the Turks. 1t seems equally GER
tain that the Greeks only escaped a
defeat with returning day
light by precipitate flight. The news |
from Epirus is conflicting. 1t seems
certain that the Turks have reoccupied |
Pentepigadia, and it is not improbable
that the Greeks have retreated to Arta,
that the Turks allowed them
to advance to Pentepigadia solely in
order to destroy the column.
