LONDON, Oct. 12.-Replying to Sir Edward Carson, who again raised the question of man power and Ire lands contribution in the house of commons today, the war minister, MT Lloyd George. said there was no doubt whatever about the countrys available man power and reserves, but it was necessary to get at them. Enlistment exemptions, he declared had been far too numerous; if he gave the figures he would startle the house. The exemptions had run into millions.

 LONDON Oct. 13.-The newspapers today published an interview granted Ward Price. the official British press representative, by Eliptherios Venize- los at Saioniki. in which the former premier denounced King Constantine IS responsible for the present state of affairs in Greece. and outlined further plans fer the provisional government which include the raising of an army corps to fight on the side of the entente allies against the Bulgarians.
 In the interview NJ Venizelos de- clared it was the intention of himself and his followers to set up a formal government in Saloniki and exercise all powers of state, "levying taxes to maintain the military service and raise and equip troops"
 NJ. Nenizelos said that when in Sep tember, 1915, he urged upon the king the necessity of fulfilling Greece's treaty obligations with Serbia, King Constantine replied:
 'l am prepared to leave the internal affairs of Greece to the government, but in international relations 1 con- sioer myself, myself alone. responsible before God for their direction" NJ. NeniZelos said he replied to the king:
 You are enunciating the doctrine of the divine rights of kings. with which we have nothing to do in Greece Your | father was freely elected by the Greek | people to be their king, and you are his l successor. Clearly there is no divine ! right in that title. It is based upon 1 the mandate of the people" 1 "ClearlV King Constantine has sten- | ped outside the limits of the Greek constitution" NJ Venizelos continued 1 What lies at the root of the kings | attitude is that he regards the Kingdom of Greece as his own personal proper ty. That is the Prussian thory oi | llingship. We cannot recognize it 1T 1 Greece"
