BELIEVE GREECE
WILL Be REPUBLIC
People are Clamoring for Abdiea
ton of King George for
Failure.

BERLIN, July 1S.-German states
men who give special attention to for
eign politics believe Greece viii be-
come republic within a short time.
King George is in deep disfavor with
his subjects. and in Imminent danger
Of being removed from the throne to
which ne was called forty-seven years
ago by popular election.
The cause OF the present dissatisfac-
ton lies in the fact that King George
failed to get permission from the
powers to annex to Greece the Island
Of Crete, which belongs to Turkey.
Crete has a predominatins Greek
and Christian population. and the
Greek Christians have resented for cen
turtles the necessity OF being ruled
by Moslem Turks, King George WIS.,
tied London, Paris and Rome in an
effort to get permission from the pow
ers to seize the island. His mission
was futile. When King George re-
turned TO Athens he was given chilli
ing reception.
The newspapers urged Athenians
not to give the monarch a public
reception or to show him any marks
Of poIiteness on the streets upon his
return. OtlFF newspapers nave tteh
clAmoring publicly for his ahdication.
Greece being an absolutely democratic
country. with perfect freedom of
speech. Some Of the Greek papers
go so far rs to demand that King
George leave the country. declaring
his continued presence Is obnoxious
to his subjects.
The Greeks, who are an immense
iy commercial people, argue that II
their king cannot exploit his country,
he has ceased TO be of value as a
monarch They do not care for an
ornamental ruler. but want a useful
king.
| German politicians who have been
eager to annex the trade Of Greece
and Turkey and to esta blish strong
commercial ties in those countries.
are watching the present broil with
| great interest.
