ATHENS. Greece. April THE crown
prince has departed for Thessaly to assume
supreme control OF the army. This has
given rise to rumors that war would be i'm
mediately declared. His presence will ex-
cite great enthusiasm, but the army is in
perfect discipline and will obey orders.
The navy is in complete readiness
for action and prepared to begin at a mo-
ment's notice. The crown princess and
Princess Maria accompanied Constantine to
Thessaly As the anniversary of Greek in
dependence approaches the excitement OF
the people and army increases, Unless Il
peaceful settlement IL reached before that
day the situation will probably become I'M
comfortable. There was a pathetic parting
between the crown prince and the members
OF his family, all seeming to fully realize the
import of the undertaking. The streets in
the vicinity Of the palace were jammed with
people, who frantically acclaimed the crown
prince when he appeared. The Widest en-
thusasm was everywhere displayed and the
crowds shouted for war until they were
