LUCIANO, Switzerland, June 81.
King Constantine of
Greece and his family planned late
today to depart from Lugano to
the Lake of Thun, being evidently
greatly chagrined at the demon
stration directed against them dur
ing the two days of their stay here.
Tuesday evening the former
Greek monarch attended concert
in the public square, but left hur-
riedly when some of the foreign
ers there started vehemently hiss
ing him.
On his way thru the streets other
voices took up the kissing and even
sought to modest him.
The eK-king entered a cafe and
slipped out thru the back door.
Constantine and all his family
remained closely in their hotel all
day Wednesday.

of the Greeks, has won the day.
Alexander, new wearer of the
Hellenic crown, is just a king in

long fight for alliance with the

King Constantine was too fcu-

leanings.
Since the beginning of the war,
Venizelos, then premier, looked
upon the side of the allies as the
side of justice and right.

He insisted on alliance; while
Constantine urged neutrality. He
resigned, was recalled and re-
signed again when the former
king and he could not agree.
II am not obliged to bow to
the will of the people. | am
responsible only to God"
Constantine made this statement
to his premier, when the latter in
sisted that the will of the people
be recognized and Greece's treaty
with Serbia be fulfilled.
Constantine now deposed, is an
exile In Switzerland; Venizelos,
president of the Greek provisional
government, revealed the complete
adherence on Constantine to the
theory of divine right of kings in
a statement today. 1t was an ex-
PLANTATION of the reforms the Greek
people will demand in accepting
Alexander, Constantine's second
son, as king.

Venizelos declared the Greek
people were willing to make an
other experiment in constitutional
monarchy but will hold that the
constitution be revised"
