KING OF GREECE
ADVOCATES.
WILL LEAVE THAT COUNTRY---A
GREAT VICTORY FOR THE
ALLIES.

The leading foreign despatch in
the press of the country yesterday
was from Athens, Greece, and says:
The fail of Constantine |, King Of
the Helenese, has come. In response
to the demand of the protecting pow
ers, France, Great Britain and Rus
sia, he abdicated today in favor of
his second son, Prince Alexander.
This climax in the affairs of Greece
was brought about through the agen'
cy of the French Senator. NJ Jonnart,
who has held posts in several Frence
cabinets, and who arrived at Athens
only day or two ago on a special
mission as the representative OF Rus-
sia, France and Great Britain. M JON
mart had previously visited Saloniki
and other points, and he lost no time
in getting into conference with the
Greek premier, Alexander Zaimis. The
demands of the powers respecting
the abdication of King Constantine
also specifically eliminated Crown
Prince George as his successors the
Crown Prince being included among
those Greeks in official life who were
considered strongly pro-German.
Both the former King and Prince
George, it was announced today by
Premier Zaimis. intent to leave the
country Immediately. 1t is reported
that they will embark on a British
warship and proceed to Switzerland
by way of Italy. tits presumed Prince
Alexander will take up his kingly du-
ties with full acceptation of the ideas
which the protecting powers desire
to be put into effect in the govern
ment of Greece during the present
war. He is twenty-four years of age
and has been free from anti-Entente
proclivities.
Affairs in Greece, which several
times since the outbreak of the war
had seemed on the verge Of settle
ment, recently had taken on such an
aspect of uncertainty that it became
necessary for the powers to act with
decision.
NJ Jonnart was selected to proceed
to Athens for the purpose of laying
before the premier the aims which
France, Great Britain and Russia
had with respect to establishment of
unity of feeling among the Greeks
and greater security for the Entente
forces engaged IN operations in the
east. While he informed the premier
that the reports had been placed at
his disposal, he appealed to that Of
fetal to use his influence toward a
peaceful settlement. The troops. ac-
cording to NJ Jonnart's instructions,
were not to land until the King had
given his answer.
M Jonnart called upon Premier
Zaimis Monday and demanded in the
name of the protecting powers the
abdication of King Constantine and
the nomination of his successor to
the exclusion of the Diadochi Grown
Prince.)

"A recession in the volume of busi-
ness will involve far-reaching calam-
ities.'
But where is the economy that
does not involve some recession in
the volume of business? Retrench.
ment is seldom a matter of choice,
and never a matter of enjoyment.
1t is either q necessity to which we
reluctantly bow, or a moral obliga-
tion that We recognize but do not
pretend to relish. 1t is also at times
a criterion of taste. Money has been
very plentiful in the United States
for the past two years. Some of it
has been generously given. Much Of
it has been lavishIy spent. Wherever
the spending has been excessive. as
in our large cities, the spectacle has
been an offensive one, because we
knew tnat in Distant parts of the
world human beings were dying of
want. The children of Belgium, we
are authoritative!y told have not for
two years eaten according to their
hunger" The children of Poland
were more fortunate. They starved
outright, and their little bodies have
long since crumbled into dust. But
the United States bought more can
dy last year than in any IL months
of its history. Food has been wasted
as never before, and we are now fac
ing the possibility of a world short
age. If We refuse to deny ourselves
for the sake of suffering humanity,
we had better begin to understand
that the success of our own arms
and our own future safety depend
upon preserving and dispensing our
resources.
There has been a disposition to
mock at the women Of wealth who
bound themselves not to serve more
than three courses at their own ia
bles, nor to eat more than three
courses when they dined away from
home. To the great bulk of Ameri-
cans, three courses fail to represent
even moderate privation.
II nature can subsist on three.
Thank heaven for three. Amen!
Yet any reduction of luxury, any
denial of self.indulgence. is a step in
the right direction - of practical
value and of tonic quality. The hab-
it of prodigality is not confined to
any one class of citizens in the United
States; it is shared by all. 1t is not
confined to food; it plays havoc with
every commodity. We waste enough
wood and coal every year to keep all
Italy warm. The thin silk stockings
on a working girls feet and the
ropes of pearls round the neck of a
munition makers wife are signs of
the same lack Of sanity and Of taste.
1t is the women of the country who
have been urged to spend with dis
cretion, and to save with austerity.
There is no use asking men to econ.
omize; they would if they could, but
they literally do not know how. For
centuries it has been their part to
earn money, and the part of their
wives to balance income and outlay.
Now it is the part of all women to
spend less, to save more, to waste
nothing, to anticipate the enforced
retrenchment of another year. So.
and so only shall ruin be averted and
the nation be free to play liberat-
or's role.

SKULKING NEUTRALS.

It is probably no exaggeration to
say that If we add together neutral
ships sunk and neutral ships terror
lied, the war against neutrals is as
drastic as the war against the bellig-
erents. Germany Is making a new
and greater Belgium of the high seas.
This is the overt act and it is plain as
day. It may produce no outrage as
spectacular as the Lusitania. That is
only because terrorism is successful.
For what is happening on the ocean
is what happened after Belgium. The
lesson of frightfulness has been learn
ed. Just as Holland and Scandinavia
dare not resist Germany on land with
Belgium before their eyes. SO neutral
shipping is running away from the
submarine out of sheer terror. This
is the fact which our government
must recognize and act upon, for this
will be an evil world in which to live
if all neutra1s must skulk because one
nation scowls.
The least we can do Immediately
is to put the frightened ships under
government orders, arm them, and
send them out on prescribed order
with notice to all the world that they
are sailing on such and such a date
by a certain route to a specific port,
and that all the armed forces Of this
nation are behind them. If that Is
war, let it be war. At least the spell
OF the German terror will be broken.
If it is possible to put other neutral
shipping under the same protection it
should be done, though we can well
understand that the neutra1s adjacent

Health Board and
Manager Chapman
Discuss Trolleys

Before members Of the health
board at meeting in the First
Bridgeport National bank building
last night, C. H. Chapman, General
Manager Of the Connecticut Co., adj
mitted that it was difficult to keep
cars clean and to provide proper VEN
tilation without getting in much dust.
Manager Chapman was called before
the board on complaint Of inspectors
for the health board who have re-
ported the cars as insanitary and have
also reported insanitary conditions
about the sheds and barns of the Con-
necticut Co.
Manager Chapman insisted his COM
pany is doing all it can to relieve the
conditions complained of. He said
IL new cars are ordered for the
Bridgeport division put because of
the labor situation at present it is i'm
possible to say when they will be in
use here. He said the finances Of the
company are causing much concern
to the officials of the road and that
despite the boom times the company's
revenues have not Increased because
the wages of employees have been in
creased. "
Mr.. Chapman admitted many of the
charges made by the health inspectors
but took the position that it is i'm
possible to remedy them at this time.
Others at the meeting were Com
missioners William L. Zepp, Dr. J..
Henry Callahan and DR.. David H.
Monahan, Health Officer Walter II.

mechanic for the Connecticut Co.

GERMANY NEEDS
ANOTHER Great
WAR LOAN SOON
Fifteen Billion Marks Will
Be Necessary, Finance
Minister Asserts.

| London, Feb. 24-War taxation in
Germany has been increased 20 per
cent in the budget presented to the
Reichstag yesterday by Count Won
Roedern, finance minister. according
to an Amsterdam dispatch to Reu-
ter's. In announcing the new war
credit of A5,000,000,00O marks,
Count Won Roedern explained that
the increase in taxation was necessary
because the budget provides no new
money while the safety law" enacted
last year, called for an increase OF
SO to 60 per cent. in the legal re-
verse.
Dealing with the proposed new
coal tax the finance minister said
that the question Of taking over the
coal mines by the state had been re-
jected as impossible. He added that
Germany could safely rely on its own
coal production and that the COM
modify coud be taxed a the easier
because, in spite Of war conditions,
the price was lower than in foreign
countries, averaging Is to 1S marks.
He maintained that an average taxa
ton of 2k marks on coal and 80
pfennigs on Ignite was not too high.
In addition to the coal tax there Will
be a levy Of 10 to 16 per cent on
railroad tickets and Z per cent. on
all freights.
Count Won Rodern said the war
credit voted last October was nearly
exhausted, and continued:
''As in all the belligerent countries
so also here, the war expenditure in
the last few months has created GER
tain tension, but it certainly is not
greater with us than with our enc
mics. I have no reason to suppose
that the proportion of two to one
which I said existed in October as ex-
listing between the expenditure Of the
Entente and the Central has changed.
The war expenditure of the world ex-
ceeds 100000, 600, 900 marks and not
more than 10O,000,0u0,000 is our
share. The cost in the next few
months will not relax, and therefore
ask war credit Of 15,00O,000,0 600
marks . Next month we must issue
another war loan and this budget pic
ture is certainly serious, but our
economic life gives US no reason to
look to the future less confidently
than hitherto. x Against the de-
mands Of our enemies for reparation
we shall be able to put the word
indemnity.
. 'T have confidence in our economic
ability and in the unbroken financial
Of the people and I am con-
WINGED, in view of our rapid techni-
cal development during the war and
the firm determination of all produce
ing circles,\ that everything that the
war has destroyed will be rebuilt. Our
strength is not founded on paper as
our enemies suppose, but on the I'M
exhausted income of the people and
the fact that we did not fall into the
slavery of debt to foreigners as our
enemies largely had to do. Our fl
nancia1 strength is proved by the in
crease Of deposits in savings and 9TH
er banks and by the reports Of four
hundred limited companies, which
show not only increasing profits but
wide reserves"
