says: The celebration of the ami.

wild demonstrations from the troops
here. The Greek army will not listen
to any suggestion of retreating. The
excitement all along the frontier has
been intense and it has been impossible
to foretell from hour to hour whether
the troops would not take reins in their
own hands and attack the Turkish po-
sitions. Up to a late hour, however,
no outbreak had been reported al
though mob surrounded the palace of
Prince Constantine here and clamored
vigorously for war and the guard had
to be increased to control the crowd.
So intense has been the feeling that
council of officers with the prince was
held at which the official leaders of the
army insisted upon an immediate dec
laration Of war. They argued that
such a course was the only salvation
of the throne and dynasty of King
George. The decision of the officers
was sent by the prince to Athens dur
