KING CONSTANTINE
YIELDS TO ALLIES.
AFTER DAY OF FIGHTING AGREES
B TO SURRENDER ARTILLERY
DEMANDED BY FRENCH.
Outbreak in Athens Soon Ends, But
Not Until Two Hundred Had Met
Death, Fighting Beginning When
French Troops Landed.

Paris.-Athens, where after a day of
panic and fighting in the streets and
on the hillsides, King Constantine
yielded to the demand of the entente
commander and agreed to surrender
the artillery demanded by the French
vice admiral, shares with the Teutonic
concentration upon Bucharest and the
Russian drive in the wooded Carpa-
thians, as a center of war interest.
The casualties resulting from the
clash of entente allied and Greek
troops in Athens are not officially an
nounced, but have been estimated as
high as 200. An employee of the Brit
ish legation is said to have been fatal
ly wounded.
The fighting began as soon as the
entente troops were landed to enforce
the demand for surrender of the
Greek guns. Two thousand French
marines exchanged shots with the
Greek reservists and there was an en-
gagement between soldiers in the an,
mex of the British legation and a
Greek force in the square in front of
that building. The French legation
was fired upon. The allied fleet fired
on the hills back of the kings palace
and two shells are reported to have
fallen near the center of the city.
Thousands of the residents of Athens
took refuge on Attica Plain and at
Phaleron.
After the Dutch and Spanish minis.
tiers interviewed and Vice Admiral Du
Fournet had sent suggestion of an
armistice to Premier Lambros, the
King consented to surrender the guns.
The entente forces with the exception
of guard of 300 were withdrawn.
Admiral Du Fournet assured the Greek
commander that the allied troops had
no orders to fire upon the Greeks, and
the Greek general replied in similar
vein.
