 sion of the Grown Prince.

Athens, June i2.-The fall of Con- stantine L. king of the Hellenes has come.
 In response to the demand of the protesting powers. France, Great Britain and Russia, he abdicated to- day in favor of his second son, Prince Alexander.
 This climax in the affairs of Greece was brought about thru the agency of the French senator, NJ Jonnart, who has held posts in sey- eral French cabinets, and who re- gently arrived at Athens on a spe- cial mission as the representative of France. Russia and Great Britain Mir. Jonnart previously had visited Saloniki and other points, and he lost no time i'll getting into confer ence with the Greek premier, Alex ander Zaimis. The demands of the powers respecting the abdicalion of King Constantine also eliminated Crown Prince George as his sue cessor. The crown prince was in cluded among those Greeks in off, cial life who are considered strongly pro-German.
 King Plans to Leave.
 Both the former king and Prince George intend to leave the country immediately.

COTTON HAS GONE UP $ff A
 BALE SINCE FIRST OF JUNE

New York, June il.-New high records for the season in old and new crop deliveries were made in the cotton market today. After the opening 2i to ? points higher on the showing of Liverpool the market reacted several points under heavy realizing from Wall street and local sources but the offerings were read fly absorbed by trade buying. and, before midday, July contracts had sold at 23S2, or fully a half cent above the closing figure of Satur- day.
 The action of Liverpool, combined with talk of a possible easing on marine war risks, led to expeeta- tions of increased exports, but oth- erwise there seemed to be no fresh factor connected with the advance, which has amounted to about Sii a bale since the publication of the government crop report at the be- ginning of the month.

slstance of the Seattle commercial in- stitutiom.
 It is further to the credit of the Alaska Bureau and the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce that it has never dis played any sign of favoritism in help ing the territory. One section or division has at all times been quite as worthy as another, and the quan- tity or quality of effort has never been measured by the amount of benefit received from the section rep resentated.
 When the citizens of Fairbanks rose in righteous anger at the deficiencies of the winter mail service, the mat ter of securing an improvement was t once taken up by the Seattle com- mercial body, with the result that Fairbanks soon enjoyedf a decided in- crease in the volume of mail mat ter received during the winter period. When Nome wanted q harbor, the Seattle Chamber of Commerce imme- diately got behind the local commer- cial organization and assisted vigor- ously in placing the matter before the government. And in practically every other instance where Alaska or any section thereof has wished for some public improvement, the first offer of assistance usually came from the AL aska bureau.
 The Seattle Chamber of Commerce and it's efficient branch, the Alaska bureau, is admittedly animated by no altruistic motives in helping Alaska. Seattle knows that by assisting the territory she is assisting herself to- ward greater growth and properity. Alaska is a valuable market and able to pay rich commercial rewards for exploitation. Hence it is hardly to be wondered at that the commercial interests are willing to work hard for the development of the territory. But, notwithstanding this fact, it is undeniably certain that Alaska and Alaskans owe a great deal to the m terests and labor of that city and it's aggressive commercial body.

the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
 However much one may dislike the manifestations of the famous spirit"
 of the Washington metropolis it
 must be conceded that Seattle and it's
 Alaska bureau have been of inesti-
 mable assistance in the development
 of the country. The Alaska bureau,
 through the medium of it's descrip-
 tive pamphlets and brochures, has
 carried on a nation wide campaign
 of publicity for the benefit of the territory for several years and has been by far the most effective agent
 that has appeared up to the present in making known exactly what Ala ska is and what the country contains.
 As a result of the wlde dissemin- ton of reliable information by the bureau, the attention of thousands
 has been attracted flo the country ! and it's possibilities many have come
 to the territory with the intention of becoming permanent citizens. No better indication of the value of the Alaska bureau as q means of spread ing accurate knowledge of the terri tory and its resources and wonders
 can be adduced than is contained in l the recent statement of Herbert A. Meyer, assistant secretary of the in 1 terior that, after answering queries | relative to the territory to the best
 of its ability and knowledge. the in terior department refers the inquirer l to the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
 for reliable information of more ex- tensive nature than is possessed by
 the goveinmrnt bureau
 On the occasion of his recent visit
 to Seattle while en route to Alaska, Secretary Meyer stated tt.1t he had | found more Information relative to
 the Northland m the Alaska bureau booklet than could be discovered in any other single publication In con-
 cludng his statement relative to the
 work of the bureau the secretary said:
 The Alaska bureau has been large
 ly the means of making people realize what Alaska really is, so that now people are going into the territory to make their homes, to send their children to school, to hve on the meat and vegetables raised in the territory. 10 nse Alaska fuel and to pay for their purchases in Alaska gold"
 The Alaska bureau has also been of invaluable assistance in the mat ter of securing beneficial congress sional legislation for the territory | and not a few of the congressional | benefits awarded by the national law makers are due almost entirely to the efforts of the Alaska bureau. backed by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and the Washington dele gation 10 congress.
 Without their assistance numerous legislative benefits now being enjoyed | by Alaskans would have remained | long in abeyance or been thrown into | departmental waste paper baskets. in | spite of all the people of the terri i tory could do to prevent it.
