Feeling of Amnesty

The feeling against King Constan-
tine, who is charged with having done
everything possible to embarrass the
allies, has been growing here and de-
mands that some steps be taken to
check his activities have become more
insistent. Some circles have credited
the government with protecting him
because of his relation to members OF
the British and Russian houses.
This suggestion was introduced into
the debate in the House Of Commons
today by Arthur Lynch. the Interna-
tionalist member for the west division
of Clare, who sarcastically asked Lord
Robert Cecil: "Will the Right Honora-
bic Gentleman give the House assur-
ance that no matter what occurs. the
dynasty will be preserved" No answer
was returned.
IAN unfavorable impression has been
created also by the report that King
Constantine had recalled all his pro-
German advisers to Athens, and while
the news has been rather meagre.
there has been a tendency to believe
the allies have suffered a rebuff.
