ROYALTY ANOTHER CHANGE
Says 1t Is Certainly Last Ex-
pertinent Greek People
VIII Allow

ATHENS, Aug. 27.-M. Boussios, OPP
position member. raised a tumult in this
chamber of deputies when he declared
that King Constantine never abdicated,
but only had been dismissed by the en-
tente powers, as proved by the fact that
the act of abdication had not been pre-
scented to the chamber. The premier.
Venizelos, and other deputies left their
seats to protect NJ. Boussios from per-
sonal attacks by angry members Of the
majority.
Later the possibility and opportune-
ness of establishing a republic in Greece
was discussed. NJ. Venizelos declared:
Despite the weakening of the royal
power through the fallen kings actions,
the government, interpreting the feel
ing of the chamber, thinks another trial
should be given to the royal institution
in Greece. 1t is certainly the last ex-
pertinent We are asking. 1 am certain
the Greek people and majority repre-
sentatives will approve sincerely the
trial, in order to make strong and sure
conditions for the eventual working of
the regime Of a crowned republic"

eign affairs today says that the pope's
message to the heads of the belligerent
peoples concerning peace has been re-

unjustly struck by war"

will study with the greatest Difference
the proposals made in the message.

Of advertising, but a short time since
a few of the better class papers an
