Constantine Summons the
Leaders of All Parties.
Athens Says Ministerial Crisis
Will Soon End.
BERLIN IS AWAKE TO PERIL
Makes No Effort to Minimize
Gravity of Situation.
Hope Lies in SOvereign's Right
to Appeal to People.

| Athens. Nov. 5.-King Constantine
has summoned leaders of all parties to
confer on the situation resulting from
| the overthrow of the Zaimis cabinet
and it is expected the ministerial cri-
sis will end within twenty-four hours.
Berlin Shows Concern.
Berlin, Nov. 5.-The press of Berlin
makes no attempt to minimize the vic
tory of former Premier Venizelos of
Greece, over the Zaimis ministry, and
asserts it brings a sharp crisis in the
affairs of Greece An exception is the
VOssische Zeitung, which declares the
Grecian cabinet crisis lis of no signif-
icance III connection with the foreign
policy"
The Tageblatt devotes a column to
comment on this situation, although
news of the defeat of Premier Zaimis
was not received until late last even
ing. 1t says new and grave political
crisis has been created by the vote of
the chamber of deputies, and believes
financial difficulties on the chican-
cry practiced by the British fleet" may
have been the cause.
Chamber With Entente.
-s'But the fact cannot be denied it
continues, that a majority of the
chamber has taken the standpoint
that it is better to go through thick
and thin with the entente, as its true
vaSSal and with its f1nanclal support,
according to the wfsneS of VenizelOS.
and to entrust the nations future to
a daring adventure, rather than to as
sumo the burden of temporary sacri-
fices and hardships which the coun-
try's persistence in it's neutrality
would entail.''
The Tageblatt points out, however.
that the decision as to the nations
future course is dependent, not on
secret treaties of the opposition lead
er, but on the provisions of the con-
stitution which give King Constantine
free rein to appeal to the people.
The king, the Tageblatt points out
can adjourn the chamber for some
time and then order new elections,
following which there would be a de-
lay of several weeks before the as
sembling of the new chamber Dur
ing this long period the king would be
able to place the nations affairs in
the hands of men of his own choice.

sidered as Operating Head.
Began His Railway Career
With Kansas Job.

Chicago, Nov. 5.-The new board of
directors of the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific Railway company today

bert, John G. Shedd and Charles Hay
den.
Election of a president was deferred
and the meeting adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman.
1t is rumored that A. C. Ridgway, a
former Kansan, chief operating officer
for the Rock Island receiver, will be
named chief executive officer and
eventually president of the system.
That is the report being circulated to-
day in Topeka.
Mr.. Ridgway, who was vice presi-
dent of the Rock Island until it went in
hands of receivers, is regarded as a
logical man to succeed H. U. Nudge.
His experience with several railroads.
in Kansas, Colorado and elsewhere,
has brought him into close contact
with the practical side of railroading
Old Kansas Man.
Ridgway began his railway ex
perience in Kansas with the old Kan
Sas Pacific railroad in 1877. He was
a section laborer. When the Kansas
Pacific was taken over by the Union
Pacific, Ridgway became a freight
conductor and work engineer for
the latter road. He later was con-
nected with the Katy and in 1881 went
to Colorado to work for the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad, the system
which H. U. Nudge will soon head.
Ridgway was soon after that made
superintendent, general superintendent
and general manager of the Florence
& Cripple Creek railroad
From 1902 to 1905 he was general
manager of the Denver, Northwestern
& Pacific, the Moffat road. He was
general manager of the Rio Grande,
1905-1909- He entered Rock Island
service in 1909 as assistant general

CONSTANTINE TO DEFY
CREEK WAR PARTY AND
DISSOLVE PARLIAMENT

Athens, Nov. 5.-King Constan-
tine apparently means to defy the
Greek war party.
When Premier Zaimis and his
neutrality cabinet resigned yes
terday, it was generally assumed
Immediately that ex-Premier Nen-
izeIos. the war party leader. would
return to office.
Today, however, the entire press
and everybody in political circles
had reached the conclusion that
his majesty would dissolve parlia-
ment instead of making Venizelos
premier again. Hints to this ef-
feet were said to have been given
by persons close to Constantine.
As approval of the attitude OF
General YanakitSa, war minister in
the Zain,is cabinet, whose defiance
of ex-PPemier VeniZelOs's pro-war
followers in parliament yesterday
precipitated the Greek cabinet cri-
sis, King Constantine appointed
Yanakitsa his aide de camp.
