The King pictured Greece PROSTATE
under the heel CT stronger powers.

Favors Greek Republic.
What stands in the way of Great
ing a Greek republ;c?" asks the Daily
Mail in an editorial in which it is
declared that a Geek republic was
favored by General Sarrail, the COM
mander in chief Of the allied opera
tions in the Balkans, as we'll as by ex.
Premier Venizelos and other Greek
leaders. The Mail continues:
"Rumor says that the obstacle to
republic is not in Greece, but in ths
courtly minds OF statesmen elsewhere.
for example, Viscount Grey. But it
seems incredible that the theory of
divine right should have any consid-
cradle supporters in England.
eff the Greeks want a republic, we
see no reason why they should not
have it."
