otis will remain as Minister OF Marine.

ment.
Newspapers which have supported the
S~kouloudis Ministry Indignantly denounce

taking calmly the decree ordering de-
mobilization. The dissolution OF the

dis had announced the resignation OF his
Cabinet and refused to accept the note.
The decision OF the King was n sur
prise even In governmental circles In
Athens. Before the action OF the King
was. known Agamemnon Schleimann,
"A member OF the Chamber OF Deputies

Ton. asked a questioner how Greece could

Of the Allies.
Owing TO the heat King Constantine

Government Offices were closed. The
king hastily returned to the city when
he learned that the allied demands had
been presented. An order was issued
calling all the troops in the city to arms,
Only when the evening papers came out
did the people OF Athens know of the
presentation OF the Allies demands. hu
they displayed no excitement.
