"Slay them! Stay them!" the crowd

He licked his teeth suggesuvely, as
wolf does when he contemplates a
meal. Then, as an afterthought, as
though ashamed. II love thee! Thou
art man after my own heart! But
am her man! Wait and see!"
The mullah in the arena, blinking
with his lashless eyes, held both arms
up for silence in the attitude of a
Christian priest blessing a congrega-
ton. The guards backed his silent
demand with threatening rifles. The
din died to o hiss of thousand whis-
pers, and then the great cavern grew
still. and only the river could be heard
sucking hungrily between the smooth
stone banks.
God is great" the mullah howled.
God is great!" the crowd thunder
ed in echo to him; and then the vault
took up the echoes. God is great

howled the mullah. Instantly they
answered him again
And Muhammad is His proph et!"

loud barks-then in murmurs-then in
awe-struck whispers.
That seemed to be all the religious
ritual Khinjan remembered or could
tolerate. Considering that the null
lah, too, must have killed his man in
cold blood before earning the right to
be there, perhaps 1t was enough-too
much There were men not far from
King who shuddered.

the mullah, as man might say, 81

anybody in particular; he blinked at
the crowd

an awe-struck whisper.

said the roof.
The mullah bowed as if that idea
| were a new one and he thought 1t
| better than his own; for all crowds
| love fattery.
! Bring them!" he shouted, and King
! suppressed a shudder-for what proof
had he of right to be there, beyond
Ismail's verbal confederation of a lie?
Would Ismail lie for him again he
wondered. And if SO, would the lie be
any use?
Not far from where King sat there
J was an immediate disturbance in the
crowd, and a wretched-looking Balu
chi was thrust forward at a run, with
| arms dashed to his sides and pitiful
| look of terror on his face. Two more
! Baluchis were hustled along after him
protesting little, but looking almost
| as hopeless.
Once in the arena, the guards took
charge of all three of them and lined
| them up facing the mullah, clubbing
them with their rifle-butts to get
quicker obedience. The crowd began
to be noisy again, but the muliah
signed for silence.
"These are traitors!" he howled,
with a gesture such as Ajax might
/ have used when he defied the light
ming The roof said Traitors"
"Slay them them" howled the crowd
delighted And blinking behind the
horn-rimmed spectacles, King began
! to look about busily for hope, where
there did not seem to be any.

Then there was a murmur Of astonish-
ment. Over opposite to where King
sat the mullah stood up, who the Pa
than had said was "Bull-with-a-beard"
-Muhammad Amin.
The men are mine!" he growled.
His voice was like a bears at bay;
It was low. but 1t carried strangely.
And as he spoke he swung his great
head between his shoulders. like a

Abdication Of Gar
Washington Diplomats Think
Allies May Dethrone King;
Move Opposed by
Nicholas
Iron The Tribune Bureau

Washington, March 16.-The abdica-
ton Of the Gar leaves the Allies free
TO carry out their plan for the liberia
ton of Greece from the pro-German
control of King Constantine, in the
opinion Of diplomats here. Il has been
Nicholas who has opposed all plans
for the adjustment of the present
Greek dynasty.
The British and French cabinets are
understood TO have proposed to Russia
and to Italy that King Constantine be
deposed and a republic created, with
Eleutherios Venizelos, the Greek reyo-
iutionist and pro-Ally patriot, as its
head II was reported that the Rus
sian government prevented the consum-
nation of this scheme because of En-
peror Nicholas's opposition to any act
which would discountenance the prin-
ciple of legitimacy, and, further, of his
opposition 10 any movement which pro-
posed to set aside king and institute
a more popular form OF government.
Ii was thought here that the gov
eminent Of the Duma would regard
with favor the purpose Of the Allies as
regards Greece and withdraw all oppo-
ston to IL heretofore maintained by
the Petrogrsd government. Especially,
it was thought, the conduct of King
Constantine IN twice dissolving the
Greek Parliament unconstitutionally
would be condemned Dy the Duma min
listers, as the attempted dissolution
Of the Duma by the Car was the cause
Of their own taking over OF the Rus
sian government.
Some diplomats thought there might
be a compromise between the Anglo
French and the Italian views. The for
mer are understood TO favor repub-
lie for Greece, The latter a monarchy,
with the Duke OF Aosta as King.
II was pointed out, however. that the
elevation OF a new house 20 the Greek
throne would create new political diff
fculties in the Balkans after the war,
as there is q conflict in the Balkans
between Russian and italian interests.
II is understood that the United
States would welcome the creation Of
n republic in Greece, but would prefer
20 let IL come through the expression
Of the nation in plebiscite.

"A number Of persons have arrived

During Tuesday morning, it was
said, forty persons were killed and i2O
wounded.

gun fire.
