 of Local Greeks.

Athens, Sept. 2o,zThe Greek cabinst has resigned.
 The -boule Legislative assembly, met today to consider the peace treaty with Turkey and the political situation in gsnra1Is 2 The galleries were crowded and the proceedings were followed with in- tense interest. se
 M. Ralli, the premier, mounted the . tribunal and after--fseviewing the events leading up to the beginning of the peace congress invited the chamber to vote confidence in the government He pro- posed st resolution to chat effect.
 Amids great excitement the chamber defated the resolution by the vote of 93 ito 30.
 This, dsGeat precipitated a crisis. Te is deuned fmpsacticable for M. Ralli to continue Tn office with the cabinet as now constituted.
 The Belyaunists constitute a large ma- jority sof the chamber and no cabinet can conduct public business without theif approval.
 There are about sixty Greeks in this city. and the large majority have faith in the cabinets action. Last night when number of them were informed of the cabinets action there was much talking. This is the substance of what Nick Papageorge said:
 1.-The cabinet is in the right. I dare say they have discovered a disgus ting attitude in our treacherous king. Per haps the powers have dictated disgrace full terms to him, and he has accepted.
 T went to fight for my country, and only reached there for the last battle at Domokos. Through the orders of King George We were withdrawn and the dogs of Turks were the masters. It was disgracefull'
 George Papageorge coincided and said: 'It's the fault of that traitor King George. The cabinet is right, and they have found him out. There was rotn- ing else for patriots to do but renounce so cowardly monarch.
 , Look at that shameful retreat from Ternavos to Lanissl and then on to Thermop0lae, un1sr the false statements to the Greek soldiers that it was only a strategic move to obtain provisions and the Turks. Then Domokosl They wanted nlonls Greek soldiers at that bat tie. They could have had them fer an army of 75,000 Greek soldiers was then waiting for or1ers ito go to the front. Tine order never camls. Our king pre- fetped to Yet the world see a Greek army on the run Instead.
 "There is something wrong With the kingr'
 George IIambrakis was confident that the cabinet did not resign without good cause, as was likewise his brother the handsome Greek lad, Jim LambralSis.
