islative chamber finally secured quor-
um and held a sitting this afternoon,

new ministers were seated on the gov
eminent benches. NJ Ralli, the new
premier, without delay addressed the
house. He said the first care of the
government would be to reorganize
the army. Without a REORGANIZATION
of the military forces it would be i'm
possible to carry on the war and cpn-
clude an honorable peace. Happily the

ty, he desired to say that all of Tho
members of the party would give their
"noie support to the new cabinet as
long as the Turks occupied an inch of
0feek territory. The main object of
tnelr sollcltude would be to devise ways
ana means to drive the enemy from
their country. M. Philaretos said that

| evidently too fatigued to lead the army.
