KING OF GREECE ABDICATEs

mand of Entente Allies-PrinceAl-
exander Becomes King

King Constantine of Greece has ab-
dicated his throne in favor Of his sec
ond son, Prince Alexander, and with
Crown Prince George is to leave
Greece. The abdication was made
on the demand of the Entente Powers
and thus ends the anomalous situa-
ton which long has existed in Greece
because Of the refusal Of Constantine
and his followers to acquiese in full
in the demands of the Entente Allies
for the freedom of movement Of their
forces in and through Greece, and
for their safety from attack.
That the Entente was prepared tc
move with expedition in bringing g
change in the situation in Greece Is
/ indicated by the fact that simultane
ously with the arrival in that coun
try of the French senator Jonnart
who bore plenary powers to act fo
the Entente, came the occupation b.
the Italians in northwestern Greece
near the Albanian frontier. of tn
strategic town of Janina, and by 9th

SUMMARY OF THE WAR NEWS
Greatest Air Raid Yet Made Over
England - Pershing Arrives in
France-Amerlcan Mission Arrives

ENSlanu - FerSnlng Arrives in |
France-American Mission Arrives
in Petrograd
The greatest air raid, in point of
casualties, yet made over England
by German aircraft, the arrival in
France of Major General John J.!
Pershing, who is to command the
American forces on the continent,
and the simultaneous arrival in the
Russian capital and at an American
Pacific port, respectively, of Amer;-
can and Russian missions which are
to discuss matters connected with the
prosecution Of the war, are the out.
standing features of the news of the
world war. On none of the war
fronts has there been an engagement
of noteworthy Importance.
Nearly 40 Killed; 400 Wounded
/ Nearly 100 persons were killed and
more than 400 injured in a midday
bomb-dropping raid by some IL to Is
German airplanes over London, par
ticularly the east end, where live the
poorer classes of the population. Ten
of those killed and SO of the wound
ed were children in a school on which
the bombs fell. A large number of
the killed or injured were women and
children.
British aviators rose and attacked
the invaders and the sound of the
antl-airchaft guns was everywhere
heard in London, but whether the
: Germans suffered any losses has not
yet been established. They were fly
ing at a height estimated at two
miles when they approached from
Essex and flew over the city.
Pershlng in France
General Pershing and the members
of his staff were greeted with en-
: thusiasm when they landed Wednes

that the United States was in tn,
