London. Oct. 6.-PremieT Venizelos
of Greece has resigned, according to
a news agency dispatch received here,
King Constantine having informed
him that he was unable to support the
policy of his ministry. Previously,
Venizelos had told the chamber OF
the landing OF allies at Saloniki and
refuted the arguments that the gov
ernment intended to lead the country
into war. A vote Of confidence in the
ministry was then taken.
The vote of confidence in the Vent
zcios cabinet, taken in connection
with the premier's resignation, is in
f-.rpreted as an open break between
tile ministry and King Constantine.
Venizelos has long been recognized
as a strong partisan of the allies.

Unoficial reports circulated here
are that Russia, in pursuance of the
wording Of her ultimatum, has sew

saying: I'VE confront war and must
defend our national interests" gave
weight to the report that the long
expected break has actually come.
While Berlin dispatches indicate
that Bulgaria has definitely decided
