10000 WITNESS IMPRESSIVE
GREEK CEREMONY

Athens, Jan. 30.-A crowd of
about 10000 persons recently Wit
messed the ancient ceremony of
casting the stone of anathema" at
the absent Venizelos. The ceremony
was organized and conducted by the
famous Pan-Ilellenic Rcseryists
League, which under the briefer I'll
tie "Reservists" has won much no
ticc since the king and Nenizelos
have been wrangling over the inter
nal and external affairs Of Greece.
The cabinet is said tc have been
strongly opposed to the revival of
the obsolete custom Of "anathema'
in the ease cf Nenizelos, and the op
ponents of the rite asserted in the
newspapers that only harm can re-
salt to the kings cause from this un-
|couth piece of political savagery, ow-
ing to the painful impression which
il will produce upon the civilized
world" 3"
But the Reseryists would not hear
of the abandonment of the idea, and
insisted not only on the civil and the
military, but also on the acclesiasti-
cal authorities attending the cere-
mony. 1t is stated that the Metro
po,itan, who is the Archbishop of
Athens, was reluctant to participate,
but he finally yielded. and in the
end. the whole Synor of the Church
of Greece not only attended, but ac-
tlally participated in the stone
throwing The Reservists also sent
notices to all the shops and Offices in
Athens requiring the proprietors to
close them and attend the anathema
with their families and employees.
each person beinp required also to
bring his stone.
The Metropolitan cast the first
stone, accompanying it with the
sta atement: "This stone of ana
thema is cast against M Nenizelos
for having plotted against the king
and imprisoned bishops Of the
church +" The latter phase was
reference to the Archbishop Of
Drama. who was arrested by the Sa-
,oniki revolutionists and sent to
Mount Athos.
