Athens, June 13.-The fall of Con-

the protecting powers-France, Great
Britain and Russia, he abdicated in
favor of his second son. Prince Alex

Alexander, the new king, is the sec

Prince George, who was born July 19,

The reign OF Constantine l as King
OF the Hellenes was brief, dating only
from March 18, 1918, when his father,
George /, was assassinated in Saloniki.
Brief as the reign was. Constantine
had enjoyed, prior to the beginning of
the great war in 1914. period of re-
markable popularity and had increased
the territory of the Greek monarchy
by over fifty per cent. His attitude of
when their troops occupied part OF
Greek territory in the Macedonian
campaign against the Teutonic allies,
however, brought him into conflict
with the statesmen of Greece. and re-
suited in the establishment of a pro-
visional government headed by Eliph-
therios Venizelos. whom the king had
driven from the post of premier.

TRUE POLICY OF ALLIES
EXPRESSED BY PRESIDENT WILL
SON, BRITISH NOTE DECLARES.
Russia Commended for Acceptance Of
American Principles, for Which
All Must Fight.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, June 12.-In reply to the
Russian governments request for a
statement of the British war aims.
Great Britain has forwarded to Petro-
grad a note in which 1t expressed
hearty acceptation and approval of
the principles which President Wilson
laid down in his historic message to
Congress. The British government
believes, broadly speaking. that the
agreements made from time to time
with Britain's allies are conformable
to these standards. The purpose Of
Great Britain at the outset, says the
note, was to defend the existence of
the country and enforce respect for
international agreements. Since then
there has been added that Of "liberat-
ing populations oppressed by alien
tyranny" The note bespeaks not only
the liberation of Poland by Russia,
but of that section of Poland within
the domination of the Germanic en-
pires.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Shafroth OF
Colorado issued the following plea for
Liberty loan subscriptions:
Not every citizen can serve the re.
public on the battle line, but service,
honestly and faithfully rendered in a
thousand other directions is no less
honorable and hardly less effective to
our nation in this crisis in our his
tory. At the outset we shall need
great stores of money to carry to sue.
cess the glorious cause we have made
our own. the defense, possibly the
preservation, of democracy.
THE Liberty loan bonds of 1917
have been authorized to meet the i'm.
mediate demands for money, and il
rests with the people whether this
first engagement shall be the trium-
phant victory we hope to record.
ut is to state the obvious to say
that it is the duty of all citizens to
subscribe according to their resources
to the Liberty loan bonds"

TEN MORE RESCUED FROM MINE
Found Alive Far Down in the Fire
Wrecked Specuiator Workings.


Butte. Mont. June 12-Ten miners
were alive on the 2,200-foot level of
the Spectator mine, in which fire
started Friday night. Helmet men got
into communication with them. These
men, using cement sacks and mine
water, bulkheaded themselves in so
thoroughly that tools had to be
brought to break through the barrier.
Seventy-two men remain unaccounted
for. The coroner said sixty-three bod
les had been recovered.
The name of Manus Duggan is on
the lips of every person in Butte. The
20-year-old nipper or tool boy, who
saved the lives of twenty-five of his
co-worlers in the Speculator shaft and
who, it is feared, himself perished, is
the hero of the hour. The total proo-
able dead is 1876. Duggan's spectacu-
lar handling of the shift of men on the
2.400-foot level of the mine. his build
ing of bulkheads with dirt, tagging and
the mems garments, and the break for
the open shaft when the gases became
unbearable. have made him the idol of
