KING GEORGES WILL
GIVES ADVICE TO son
Political Document, Just Published.
Urges Constantine to be Patient
With His People.

Athens, April 14.-In his politi-
cal viii, which has just been pub
lished, the late King George, after
giving directions for the disposition
of his belongings, urged his chill
dren to remain united. Addressing
himself to the new king, Constan-
tine, King George says:
Love your dear little country
Serve her and your dear people and
have confidence in them and may
your brothers follow the same ex-
ample"
The will urges King Constantine
to be coureageuos, but patient. for
you are reigning over a southern
people; whose temper and irritabil-
ity takes fire rapidly, and who, at
any moment may say and do things
which it is probable will be forgot
ten the following day. 1t is prefer
able that the king should suffer.
even morally, rather than his peo-
pie and his country. The interests
of the people of the country must
always be placed before all other
matters"
In conclusion King George de-
clares his love for Queen Olga and
urges his son to love and protect
her.
