government so that Greece will enter
the war on the side of the allies, oust.
ing every vestige of pro-Germanism.
Evaded Question.
Arthur Lynch, Nationalist, asked
Arthur Balfour. foreign secretary, in
the House of Commons whether the
government was coGnizant of the par
allel between the situation in Greece
now and that formerly existing in
Russia, King Constantine represent
ing czardom and protecting pro-Ger-
manism. Mr.. Balfour evaded the
question by saying that historical par
allels are dangerous.
Mr.. Lynch characterized the foreign
office policy toward Greece as weak
and cowardly, declaring that NJ. Veni-
Zelos asserted in a recent interview
that the allies gave him their support
only upon his promise that his revo-
lutionary movement should not as
sumo an anti-dynastic form.

CONSTANTINE'S RULE
IN GREECE MAY END
Fall of Gar Causes Change in
Sentiment of British To-
ward Monarch.

LONDON April 6.-It is stated on
excellent authority that the Russian
revolution has thrown a different
light upon Greek affairs and opened
the eyes of those who heretofore pro-
tested against a change in the form
Of the Hellenic government.
They now realize that II would be
folly to continue supporting King
Constantine, who admittedly is in
daily communication with Berlin and
is surrounded even in his own family
by German influence, when by swing
ing the influence of the entente solid
ly to the Venizelist movement they
could gain the full participation OF
Greece in the war.
Realizes Discomfort.
Lloyd-George's government realizes
that there is great discomfort at the
entente's Greek policy and that 1t
may show itself at any time. Per-
hsps an incident in the House of
Commons today is the forerunner OF
more serious events. The peace dis
cussion repeatedly points out the
danger of King Constantine interfer-
ing with the Macedonian campaign
and alludes to the difficulties NJ
VeniZelos encountered in getting per-
mission to send his soldiers to fight
side by side with those of the allies.
The incident was brought on by the
reopening of the question whether or
not the entente intended to offer
further support to NJ. Venizelos. Point
was given to the question blythe in
creasing evidence that popular remit
ment in Greece demands that NJ. Feni-
zelos have a free hand in working
out a new and democratic form of

All the delegates were easily recog-

some degree of blood, but the major
ity were outstanding business men, at

their home territories. Many were

THE EUROPEAN Wal R
Submarines Sink American Ships
Allies Gain In France
New War Move

Sunday three ships flying the
U. s. flag and with crews COM
posed principally of Americans,
were torpedoed off Ireland by
German Submarines. Two of
the ships were returning to this
country without cargoes.
The act precipitates war but
was expected because of the
declaration by Germany of her
intention to sink all ships COM
ing into that zone. There is
nothing left for the United
States to do but resent it as we
have declared we would.
FJr some reason a large Sec
ton of the center of the German
line in France was practically
evacuated and the Allied army
now occupies. Germans have
made a stand and the advance
checked. A big French battle
ship sunk in the Mediterranean.
Allies capture Turkish positions
and prisoners. A decisive battle
between Germans and Allies in
France and big sea fight expect
ed any day.

RAILROAD STRIKE IS OFF.
President Forces Terms on Man.
agers-Supreme Court Sus-
tains Country Saved.

At two O'Clock Monday MORN
ing Secretary Lansing sent a
message from President Wilson
to the managers of railroads and
Brotherhood leaders who had
been unable to agree after 5O
hours continuous parleying at
the Biltmore hotel in Washing
ton which message was: Re-
gardle.s of the decision of the
Supreme Court on the Adamson
law, the basic eight hour day
will go into effect" That settl-
ed the matter at once. In view
of the acute situation on account
of the sinking of three Ameri-
can Ships Sunday by German
Submarines, President Wilson
determined there should be no
tieing up of transportation faclll-
ties in this country and the sur
est way to prevent it was by
forcing concession of the de-
mands of brotherhoods.
The Supreme Court of the Un-
tied States handed down a de-
,cision Monday on the Adamson
law regarding strikes by those
employed in interstate commerce
which will prevent strikes for
ever of this nature.
