Constantine Retires.

The abdication Of the pro-German,
Xantippe-led King of Greece has
been forecasted for so many weary,
dreary months that when the fact
finally arrives it comes almost as an
anti-climax.
. However, the Greek muddle Is now
in a fair way Of clarifying. With
Constantine and his court OF Kaiser
worshippers out Of the way the
Greek people will assume the reins of
power. VenizeIos. at SalonIki, will
inevitably become the Warwick Of the
situation II the monarchy remains;
II a republic Is established, as Is pre-
dieted, he unQuestionably will be-
come the president of this harassed
land.
The cable has brought no details Of
the abdication. 1t appears, however,
that Constantine was kicked out OF
power almost bodily. His palace was
violated and he was dispossessed. II
this policy of the entente be In fact
a rage borrowed from the Prussisns,
Germanic apologists are welcome to
make the most OF it. No wrong has
been done the people Of Greece, but
only the ramshackle government
which has represented them. 1t was
Inevitable that Constantine should 60.
He was so much excess baggage.
The whole Macedonian situation
now assumes a new phase, and It
seems to be certain that Sarrairs
army at saloniki will soon be In
shape to open a vigorous offensive on
the Bulgarian front. The Greek
army under the new regime conceiv-
ably may become part of the allied
sorces. II Venizelos comes into
power, a declaration of war against
Germany by Greece may be looked
for before many weeks have passed.
The whole Balkan tangle will be af-
fected by Constantine's retirement.
Assuredly it will increase the war
weariness in Bulgaria and add Sonia
to Berlin's many anxieties and diffi-
culties. 1t will have an indirect bear
ing on the whole military situation
and will be hailed everywhere as an
allied victory. Its meaning will be
patent no less to Berlin and Vienna
than to London and Paris.

The agitation for II has never gained
any headway. The British LIQUOR con-

In all its aspects, and found that the

There Is no doubt that the British
peop'. would submit to any necessary

hourished in peace times, to facilitate
the prosecution OF the war upon which
the future Of the empire has been
staked. The American people would
submit likewise. But one thing 10
which the American people win not
