London, Nov 4.--The defeat Of the
Greek government in the chamber Of
deputies and the consequent resignar
ton Of the Zamis cabinet is tAe
latest sensation afforded by the Bal
kans. While, of course, it was under

to turn the government out whenever
he so desired, having the4nhajority: in

again places on the king the responsi-
bility Of deciding the future policy Of

Of parliament. Should this course be
taken, it would zoe, at least, two
months before an election could be
held and the new Chamber. meet at
Athens. In the meantime either the
Zamis cabint, the resigation Of which

fRoumania's Position.
Even should M Venizelos be called
upon to form a new government, it is
not certain that he would join the
Allies at present, but the Quadruple
Entente would :lare the assurance
that Greece would not turn against
them.
Roumania is somewhat in the same
position as Greece. The majority Of
the people of that country favor the
Allies while the king and the govern
ment wish to maintain neutrality, at
least until it appears clear that the
Allies can win the war. E ~, i! :
