King Constantine of Greece has abdcated his throne
in favor of his second son. Prince Alexander, and with
Crown Prince George is to leave Greece.
The abdication made the demand Of the
tente powers and thus ends the anomalous situation which
long has existed in Greece because of the refusal of Con-
santne and his followers to acquesce in full in the de-
mands of the entente allies for the freedom of
ment Of their forces in and through Greece and for their
safety from attack.
That the entente prepared to move with expedi-
ton in bringing change in the situation in Greece is in
dicated by the fact that simultaneously with the arrival
in that country of the French SENATOR Jonnar who bore
plenary to act for the entente came the occupa
ton by the Italians in northwestern Greece, the AL
banan frontier of the strategic town of Janna and by
other entente forces of Eassona northeastern Greece
situated at the foot of Mount Olympus and the Gulf
of Saonki.
