ATHENS, Nov. 5.-Though parlia-
ment expressed its disapproval Of
neutrality advocates and forced the
resignation of the Zaimis cabinet,
King Constantine seemed bent on de-
flying the Venizelos war party Both
press and politicians believe the king
will dissolve parliament and force
another election instead Of returning
Yenizelos to power. The result will
be that Zaimis will hold office at
least two months longer, while the
election is held. Meanwhile Greece
will remain neutral, in keeping with
the kings policy Pro-war support
ers resent dissolution move.
venizelos advocates said a dissolu-
tion move six months ago wouldhave
been perfectly proper because there
would have been no expression of
popular opinion. Now, however, the
nation is on record in favor Of war,
through the election of a pro-war
chamber Of deputies with Venize.os
at the head.
