1. shaken by revolt. Stirred 70 ac-
tion bv the Bulgar advance IN Mace
Gonia and the failure of the govern
osnt TO withstand it, adherents OF
the Allied cause took things lntc
their own hands to-day. They seized
tbs barracks of the Greek troops at
Salonjca. Vodena and Fort Little
Karaburun.
Behind the banner of these rebels
MANY more Greeks are falling ~
and the revolt is spreading to other
,sctions of Macedonia. The rebels
are determined that the government
shall abandon its neutrality and JPN

Ally party seem extremely likely
Reports Constantine Abdieated'
The feeling that King Constantine
has all but lost control Of the situa
ton is emphasized in all the DIS
matches from Athens. The British
press representative at Salonica re-
ported to-day that Constantine had
abdicated in favor of Crown Prince
George. that Venizelos was the power
behind the throne and that. while
Zainis would retain the Premiership
the new policy would be one Of as
sistance TO the Entente Allies.
This report, however, is not con-

In view Of the increasing tenslty OF
The situation the Greek electiens''

Army Mobilization Reported.
One report from Athens says that
