George l.. king Of the Hellenes. was
called to the throne March IS, 1863,

Christian of schleswig. Holstein-son-

king Of Denmark In 1868. Through his

Adolphus George. was descended from
Marshal Bernadotte. whom Napoleon
the Great placed upon the throne Of
Gustavus Adolphus and Charles XII.
He began his reign a minor. He was
married to Grand Duchess Olga,
cousin Of Gear Nicholas, October 27.
1867, and was not very popular at
Athens until after the ill-starred
Turco-Greek war Of 1897.
Specializing on the European
bourses, he amassed a great person

in person, and Queen Olga went with
him to the front.
Constantine.
Constantine, eldest son Of the slain
king Of the Hellenes, now called to the
throne, is the idol of the Greek army
and the Greek people. He is a tall,
handsome, soldierly man, was born in
1868 and on October 20, 1889. married
at Athens the Princess Sophie Of Prus-
sia, sister Of the Kaiser William. They
have three sons, George, born in 1890:
Alexander, 1893, and Paul, 1901, and a
daughter, Princess Helen, born in
1896.
Constantine has displayed sound
military judgment during the war and
many Of the Greek successes have
been attributed to his generalship.

Since his triumphal entry into Sa.
loniki the king has been accustomed
to take an afternoon walk to the IA
nous White Tower or to the cavalry
barracks in Lesser Karaburum. The
kings confidence in the people was so
great that he went abroad freely, &C.
companied only by a single equerry.
The danger of this custom was appa.

repeatedly, but without avail, request

The new ruler soon may find his
country's frontier running north Of
Saloniki and Monastir. Saloniki prob

A few days ago four gendarmes
were ordered to follow the king, but
their presence was considered so OBJ
jectionable by his majesty that tho
number was reduced to two. These
followed at long distance.
