The effect was almost magical.
The men in the audience might
have been wearing evening
clothes. The women might have
been beautifully, fashionab:y

been anywhere.
The audience forgot the crash

silence of the cells, the rigorous,
perhaps sometimes cruel, discip-
line.

REVOLUTION NAY

LONDON, Nov. ~. King
Constantine has dissolved tho
Grecian parliament, thereby fin
ally throwing down the gauntlet
to the war party.
This action evidently followed
Venizelos' refusal to tolerate the
Skouloudis ministry with its
"benevolently neutral leader and
Zaimis as a member.
In dissolving parliament the
king did deliberately what veni-
zelos had declared he had no
power to do inasmuch as Vent
zelos claimed the question of
what stand the nation should take
toward war was settled six
months ago when the country re-
turned him as premier on a pro-
war platform.
The king has selected Dec. 10
as the date for the cleo. pms, a
time earlier than cxpecte
Venizelos, course will be
watched anxiously, for 1t is felt
here among diplomats that IL he
rouses the people against the
king that revolution will result.
