ed to the commissioner of the allied
powers the kings answer in the follow
ing letter:
The minister and high commissioner
of France. Great Britain and Russia:
Having demanded by your note of yes
terday, the abdication of his majesty
King Constantine and the nomination

Prior to the announcement of the
kings decision many Greeks, loyal to
the crown, gothered for the protection
of the sovereign.
On Monday night 1000 reservists
formed a Gordon around the palace in
his defense, if that should be necessary,
and a delegation headed by Naval
Commander Navromichaelis was re-
ceived by Constantine and pledged the
devotion of the army and the people
to his cause. The kings only reply
was an appeal that they should re-
main calm.
All efforts of agitators to start a
manifestation failed, and the army de-
cided to obey the order of the govern
ment and maintain peace.
Agitators still were attempting to
operate in the streets of Athens to-
right, but there were no disorders and
everything leads to the belief that
there will be none.

HA|C'S TROOPS
AGAIN SMASH
GERMAN FRONT

In the fighting zones the situation is
comparatively calm, except on the Brit
iSh front in France, along the line held
by the French troops against the Ger
mans in the region running eastward
from scissors into Champagne and on
several sectors of the Austro-Italian
theater.
Sir Douglas Haig's troops have again
smashed into the German front east
and northeast of MessineS and largely
extended the gains previously made in
this region. Nearly two miles of
trenches were stormed and occupied by
the Britishers and in addition the small
village of Gaspard, directly east of
Messines, was captured. Berlin reports
activity by the British cavalry east
of Messines during Monday afternoon,
but says the attack was repulsed and
only remnants of the mounted men
were able to return to their positions.
The German artillery in the neighbor-
hood of Lens and Ypres is bombarding
the British lines.
French and German artillery is still
active along the Chemin des Danes
and in Champagne. Tuesday the French
made raids on German trenches nea,'
the Butte de Mesnil and in the region
of Haute Chevauches. doing consider
able damage to the positions and cap
turing prisoners .
Bad weather has caused some cessa-
ton in the activity in the Trentino dis
trict of the Austro- Italian theater. al
though artillery duels of considerable
proportions continue. There mas been
no return of the infantry attacks on
the Julian front to the east, although
the Austrians have been particularly
active with their big guns against the
Italian lines on the Vodice and the
heights northeast of Gorilla.
In Macedonia the Teutonic allies have
met with repulse in several surprise
attacks made against the French troops.
The artillery duels continue in the
Cerna bend.
