WELCOME TO KING GEORGE
Robert Hichens' Picture Of His Re
ception on the Eve of War.

In the Century's series on Skirt
ing the Balkan Peninsula" by Robert
Kitchens and Jules Guerin, Robert
Kitchens writes in the April Century
of being in Athens just in time to see
the late King Georges arrival there
on the eve of the war;
THE Hellenes are not an enthusi-
astic people, as rule. They are
critical, intellectual, sometimes rath-
er cynical. But that night they gave
way to emotion. Great crowds were
lined up in Constitution square, and
were massed on the brow OF the hill
before the palace, when at length the
police let me go. Darkness had long
since fallen, but the square was IL
Illuminated brightly. All the balco-
MES were packed with people. The
terrace before the Grande Bretague
was black with sightseers. And
everywhere In the forefront were
rows of eager, vivacious Creek chill
dren many OF them the soldiers of
the future.
I'VE had to wait for very long
time. But at last the king came In
an open carriage, driving with the
Diadochos,' as the crown prince Is

| in uniform. There was no ceremo-
NAL escort, so the people formed an
| unceremonial one. They ran with

hats and handkerchiefs, cheering till
they were hoarse, and crying, 'Wari

the clapping of thousands Of hands
Never BEFORE said Greek to me-

When the carriages containing the
rest of the royal family and the min
listers had gone by, we ran in our
thousands to the palace. Above the
