The much-enduring patience OF

policies Of King Constantine at
length became exhausted. They
proceeded to employ measures
which military considerations die

It was not improbable that the
king welcomed the resort to force
on the part OF the entente, for il
gave him a plausible excuse to his

race can truly be said TO be respon-
sible for the passing OF Constantine

At the inception of the great war,
the Greeks, mindful of the Franco
British aid in freeing them from
Turkish tyranny, throbbed and
pulsed throughout their little king
dom with every move of the armies
OF Britain and Of France. They
fondly recalled the memories of
Gen. Maison and Lord Byron, names
forever identified with the Hellenic
struggle for freedom. And so, this
volatile. heroic people were deter
mined to pay a great debt-but there
was an obstacle, a powerful obsta-
