intense Excitement In Athens-IntI-
nation That An Agreement Be-
tween Greece and the AIlies
Is At Hand.

Athens.-In circles very close to
King Constantine the belief is express
ed that he win declare war imme-
diately.
The Patris publishes a statement
made by NJ. Venizelos before his de-
parture from Athens in which the
former premier said:
'The purpose Of the movement Of
which l am taking the lead with Ad-
miral Condouriotis is purely national.
Circumstances compel me to form q
provisional government, not to over
throw the Athens regime, but to form
a force for the defense Of Greek Ma
cedonia, that being the only means
left to preserve the unity which has
already been harmed by those who
ceded Macedonia to the enemy.
"The Athens regime remains intact,
and if it moves in the right direction
1 will stand beside it politically and
militarily and assist it in every way.
am leaving as soldier who having
failed to pursuade his comrades, does
not turn against them, but shoulders
his rifle to fight the enemy"
After the departure of M. Venize-
los, a general exodus of his adherents
began. Former deputies and former
ministers of the Liberal party, army
officers and government officials are
leaving Athens as rapidly as they can
obtain transportation.
The greatest excitement prevails in
Athens In some quarters the feeling
is expressed that M. Venizelos' action
has been hastened by the prospect OF
an early agreement, regarding the
entry of Greece into the war, between
Greece and the Entente powers, and
it is considered that the Cretan now Is
playing his last trump in the struggle
with the King. The information that
an agreement may be reached between
Greece and the Entente comes from
Official sources, and is based on tele-
grams from Greek ministers in En-
tente capitals. The Entente legations
here, however, have not been advised
of any change in the program Of in
action
The Greek government submitted to
representatives of the Entente pro-
posal that Greece drop her policy Of
neutrality on condition only that She
be accorded lean sufficient to pay for
the mobilization and equipment of the
army.
