London, Dec. 5.-The Greek minis

in London and Manchester have re-
signed, stating that they are unable
further to identify themselves with
the policy of King Constantine
Allies to Strike at Greek King.
In the house of commons Lord Rob

that the British government consid-

"Will the right honorable gentle
man give the house assurances that
no matter what occurs the dynasty
will be preserved?"
No answer was returned.
Situation "of Extreme Gravity"
The situation in Greece, said Lord
Robert, is one of extreme gravity.
Despite formal and repeated assur-

"THE VERDICT"

Break the news to Father
While the hour is prime.
Have no fear to bother
Him, at such a time.
Greet him calmly, sanely,
Like as age to youth,
Read the verdict plainly
Tell the whole sad truth.
Be not, Oh, so nervous
Mop your hampered brow,
Fathers strength must serve us
Even more from now.
Let no hint of SANDER
Enter in your plan
Sneak with earnest candor.
Frankly, man to man.
Now and not tomorrow
Though it be as gall
Let his know his sorrow,
Tell it all, yes, all.
Read to him the answer
Squarely, face to face,
Beg him be a man, Sir,
Even in disgrace.
Take hIs hypo needle
Let him cook a pill,
Half a pint of speed" II
Help relieve his chill.
Then as he contently
Puffs his soothing pipe
Slip it to him gently
While the time is ripe.
Meet the issue bravely,
Tell him what occurred
Plainly, firmly, gravely,
Speak the fatal word.
Fairness works like magic
Kindness always wins
Break the news so tragic
