London. Nov. g. The resignation Of
the zaimis Cabinet finally has been &C
ccptcd by King Constantine, word was
received here last night.
The Reuter- corrcsp ondcnt az Athens
says that the kirg has charged VI.
SkouloudiS with ,le formation Of q
Cabinet. The administers are 20 retain
Office VI. S6ouioud:s taking the port
folio of Foreign Affairs.
While earlier dispatches from Athens
Indicated that the King had prevailed
upon VI. /aimis % continue in his post
a. Premier until p new general cleo
ton could be held, IL now appears that
the Kings prudence got the better OF
his valor.
Whcthc. this yielding 10 the war
party will also extend TO King Constan-
tines determination 10 dissolve Parlia-
nent IS now the question, and opinion
acre is thot again royal caution will
prove stronger than the bonds Of even
a Kaiser brother-in-lsw.
For Nenizclos has practically served
notice on the Crown that any dissolu-
ton Of the Chamber and playing Of
Greece into the hands Of the Central
Powers will he the signal for revolt
that will inaperil the dynasty.
Although Constantine, through his
leadership IN the second Balkan war,
has strong hold on the army, II IA
rot believed that he would contemplate
risking his throne when doing so would
serve no object except the Ksiser's.
The sympathy Of Greece is too pro-
uoUnced in favor Of the Allies and the

sought Compromise Cabinet.
What King Constantine desired was
20 retain Premier Zsimis and TO re-
construct the Cabinet with the war
party represented, preferably by Neni-
zelos himself, if he would serve. That
the cx-Premier would do so or that any
Of the prominent leaders Of his party
would accept was very doubtful, and II
is their uncompromlsing refusal, II Is
believed. that finally forced the King 10
bow 10 the will cf the Chamber.
War sentiment Us growing stronger
daily in Athens as result OF the
challenging speech Of Venizelos in the
Chamber on Friday Many persons who
trality have been won over 70 tho Lib
eral side by the injection Of the ques-
tion Of the cOnstitutionality of the
Crowns procedure into the fight.
Thus. in addition to the war and
ncutralist contentious, there is a lively
constitutional quarrel brewing which
the Venizelos party is doing all it can
20 fan. All the old distrust of the mon
archv. which grew out Of the disor-
ders of 1910. is reviving with q cor
responding growth OF republican sem
timent.
Republican Sentiment Growing.
Naturally. the son Of king once on
the point Of abdication has lost none
OF the significance Of such warnings,
and as strong as his Teutonic predilec-
tons are. he is not likely to court an
open break with Venizelos. the maker
OF modern Greece.
Events in Athens are being followed
closely in. Bucharest. but so far there
is no indication Of any change Of policy
by the Rumanian Cabinet. The rapid
advance of the Tcutons through Serbia
and the fall Ct Kraguyevatz and Nish
have not been without their effect on a
people essentially opportunists, and

pro-Ally demonstrations
The determination of the Rumanian
government 20 disarm and intern the
Russian vessels on the Danube. loaded
with arms and ammunition for the
Serbs. is believed to be in line with this
policy.
Two Russian torpedo boats and ar
armed steamship. which we're in Ru-
manian waters at Trun-Severin. are
affected by the orders. Germany, sev-
eral days ago. made q demand that the
vessels be interned, but dispatch
from Rome said it had been refused
on the ground that navigation Of the
Danube was free and that Rumania' s
neutrality had not been violated
This step by Rumania may have an
important effect on the plans Of the
Entente Powers in Serbia, for It was
understood that Russian expedition
airy force was to he sent to aid the
Serbs by way of the Danube. That
such a force was already on the way
has even been rumored. II the Dan
ube Is closed, however, il will be nee
essary to make landing at some Bui-
garian Black Sen port. which will in
volve greater delay, and much greater
