London, Sept. 80. - In a dispatch

says a telegram has been received
there from Canea, giving the summary
of the proclamation of a provisional
government by former Premier Veni
zelos and Admiral Coundouriotis. The
main points of the document, says the
correspondent, constitute a compari.
son of the Greece of today with the
Greece of 1928.
THE application of the personal pol
icy of the sovereign, victim of bad
counsels," the proclamation says, has
resulted in a e-approachment with
Greece's hereditary enemies, the viola
ton of the constitution. internal an
Greece, which the Allies consider hos

Conquered Territory Abandoned.
"The victorious army of 1912-i913
abandons the territory conquered by
the nations blood; the population is
fleeing before the invaders; war ma
terial has been given the Bulgars;
Greek soldiers have been sent to Ger
many by way of Sofia, and patriots are
regarded as traitors.
To-day is not the moment to estab-
fish the responsibility. Our duty is to
save what there is still time to save.
To attain this it is essential to re-es-
tablish national unity by an immediate
return to the policy dictated by the
national conscience, namely. range
ourselves on the side of the Allies and
Serbians to expel the intruders.
To Save Country from Ruin.

the eleventh hour the king should de-
eide to take the lead of the national

duty to do the needful to save the
country from the threatening ruin. We

The Lloyd George statement, de-

lengthy editorial comment.
This really historic manifesto"
said the Express, puts in direct and
unequivocal words what every man

Germany's growing conviction that if
the war continues she must be broken
and beaten, inevitably, leads to neu-
trail agitation for peace.
American politicians, eager for the
hyphenated vote, undoubtedly would
suggest mediation, asking the bellig-
erents to kiss and forget their quar-
rels. To all would-be peacemakers,
whether in America. Rome, Spain or
other neutral countries, the war Sec
