CREEK PREMIER APPEALING
 10 HIS PEOPLE FOR SUPPORT IN THE PROSECUTION OF THE WAR
Urges Active Participation to Secure Benefit to His Country From Support of the
 Nations of Entente Allies.

period, with notable speeches by Ven- ielos and the minister of foreign, af- fairs, on the chief points of accusation against the government which was compelled to abdicate. Foremost in this accusation is the assertion by Greece of Serbia and the complete disregard of the Serbo-Grecian treaty; and the surrender to Bulgaria of the Greek fort R1pal and other stratgetic points, in accordance with an under standing with the German authorities according to the charge of M. Zeni- ze1os and M. Politis.u
 The parliamentary discussion is soon to be followed by a lively campaign all over the country to secure united approval for general mobilization Among the peasant classes there is said to be much apathy over getting into the war. and the speeches of Venizelos gre considered as a supreme appeal to the nation to accept the results of the revolution and to do it's part in prosecuting the war as one of the Entente allies. It is one of the pecdiiarities of the war. that Although Greece is officially declared to be in the war yet there is no general nebi1i- zation of the Greek army, This is due largely to the dual governments, existing through the last year, with parts of armies under each govern ment.
 One of these, the Venize1ist provi- Isional force organized at Saloniki is an effective force of three divisions of 50. 600 men. This has now become the nucleus of the new army, with another 60,060 men to be added from the classes of 1916 andS1917, and the general mobilization bringing the force up to it's full war strength of S00,O men. It is to realize these military plans that Venizelos is now making his appeals first to parliament land then to the country, the keynote of all these appeals being that the revolution is a success and now calls for the united support of the people in prosecuting the war.
 While a revolution in the govern ment system has been going on there is little outward evidence of change in the social and economic conditions of the country. There is none of the disorder which usually accompanies revolutions, and life goes on in the cities and towns about the same as kusual. Martial law prevails and squads of soldiers do provost duty through the streets. But the general public is unconcerned; the streets are
 crowded as usual; the theatres and restaurants do thriving business.

Athens, Oct. 2s-The upheaval in ublio affairs which Greece has pass -d through in the last few months is now officially designated as 'tthe revointion' and it will doubtless go down in the records of the European war as the Greek Revolution of 1917. Premier yenizelos gave an indication of this in repeatedly referring to '.the revoiutfon" in his address to parlia- ment, " ~tl2 ssa
 While 1t has been peaceful. and iargelysa, bloodlsss revolution, yet to the Greeks 1t has asArevolutionized their political xsystem almost as much as the Russian upheaval has affected the Russians.
