the correspondent that there was a
continual exodus throughout Saturday.
Only number of volunteers remained,
who, the moment the regular troops
had gone, began pillaging the stores
and also liberated the criminals from
the Jail. The released prisoners joined
in the loot1ng, and the volunteers after

who, throughout the preceding week,
had been maltreated by the Greeks
whenever they appeared on the streets.
1t is stated here that before the Greeks
he'd, Prince Constantine, the Greek
commander-in-chief, begged them to
remain and face the enemy The Greek
soldiers actually jeered at the crown
prince as they refused to face the enc
my again. The Greek soldiers are
furious at the Ethnike Hetaria, the
Greek national league They seized
all the members of that organization
they could find, saying: ''It is you who
have brought all this misfortune on
u.s."
The Greek prisoners are we'll treated
by the Turks, and a Greek officer. who
was seen by the correspondent, has
been supplied with coffee and cigar
cites. He remarked to the correspon-
L
barbarous, but added, 'I should like to
see more of this sort of barbarity at
tending our own people" A Greek
paper published here, Of which the cor
respondent procured a copy, is full OF
the most gross Misrepresentation At
the moment the Turks were entering
the plain of Thessaly it announced that
the Turks We're in full retreat and that
the Greeks would die to the last man
before they would allow @ single Turk
to enter Greece. The Turks have
sealed up the banks, business houses
and other places containing money or
other valuables and have placed armed
guards over them.
NEW YORK, April PA dispatch
to the Journal from Athens says In
all probability the Greek nation will
try one more great battle, and if de-
teated in this it is not unlikely that
there will be a change in the royal
family at Athens. Discomfort is grow
ing and the king will be the scapegoat.
The situation in the country and in
Athens particularly is growing more
and more serious. The news and truth
about the Larissa campaign are just
becoming known and causes in all
classes deep feeling of indignation
and sorrow. People go to extremes
and declare all the business of the war
was comedy got up by the govern
ment and king. The word treason is
freely used. This is not the opinion
of the Irresponsible but of the better
classes, at one, in this instance, with
the mass of people All the facts about
the defeat prove that the fault lies
with the staff, lacking knowledge Of
the business Of war and pluck in
dangers.

European cabinets are exchanging
views with regard to the expediency

ish government, acting upon the
recommendation of the ambassadors

offices, to remain in Turkey All other
Greeks, however, will have to leave the
empire.
PARIS, April 27.-The Athens cor
respondent of the Temps telegraphs
saying the Greek public demands a
continuance Of the war, in view Of the
fact that the army is intact and the
naval superiority Of Greece incontest-
able. This correspondent adds that the
spirit of the Greek army in Pharsala
is excellent. Prince Constantine will
remain with the troops in Thessaly, the
dispatch continues, but he will do so
merely as matter of form and will
have no further influence in the coun-
ellis of war. The correspondent Of the
Temps does not believe that King
George will go to the front.
LONDON, April ga special dis
patch from COnstantinople says that a
telegram has been received there from
Edhem Pasha the Turkish commander

vision is enrOute to TIikhala

called Osman Pasha in order to avoid
embarrassing Edhem Pasha.
LONDON, April 27.-The correspon-
dent of the Times at Athens will say
tomorrow: 1.-THE popular ferment has
of Constantine's staff, though the most
violent section Of the press still de-
mands that the crown prince and
Prince Nicholas be relieved. The news
papers do not say what would be
gained by infiicting such a humiliation
upon the princes. 1t could not have
been expected that at their ages and
with their inexperience Of actual war
fare that they would suddenly display
a heaVen-bOrn genius for strategy The
fault lies elsewhere, but 1t is not easy
to say where. The number of scape-
goats is certainly large enough.
