the house compromise for acquisition

Senators Lodge of Massachusetts, and
Smith of Michigan.

but that is not the plan of the ship

name, but that was cut out in the
house.
Senator Martin, in charge Of the
bill. assured the senate that there
was no intention to remove General
Goethals.
Senator Smith attacked the ship
ping board, saying:
Board members have appeared be-
fore our committee several times and
if they have any large capacity they
have yet to demonstrate it."
In addition to funds for innumer-
able military purposes, including $l0O
month for men in reserve officers
training camps, the bill appropriates

Ing that good order prevails at
Athens.
London, June 13.-Former King
Constantine is still in Athens, al
though, according to reports, he
desires to leave.
Reuters correspondent at Athens
says that all military measures in
Thessaly, the Gulf of Corinth and
elsewhere have been carried out
satisfactorily.
Athens, June 13.-(Via Paris. J
The fall OF Constantine |, king of the
Hellenes, has come. In response to
the demand Of the protecting powers
France, Great Britain and Russia, the
king abdicaed in favor of his second
son, Prince Alexander
This climax in the affairs of Greece
was brought about through the agency
of the French senator, M. Jonnart,
who has held posts in several French
cabinets and who arrived at Athens
only day or two ago on a special
mission as the representative OF
France, Great Britain and Russia.
M. Jonnart had previously visited
Saloniki and other points. He lost
no time in getting into conference
with the Greek premier, Alexander
Zaimis.
The demands of the powers respect
ing the abdication of King Constan-
tine also specifically eliminated Crown
Prince George as his successor, the
lrown prince being included among
those Greeks in official life who were
considered strongly pro-German.
Both to Leave Greece.
Both the former king and Prince
George, it was announced today by
Premier Zaimis, intend to leave the
country Immediately. 1t is reported
that they will embark on a British
warship and proceed to Switzerland
by way Of Italy.
1t is presumed Prince Alexander
will take up his kingly duties with full
;.cceptation of the ideas which the pro-
,tecting powers desire to be put into
effect in the government of Greece
during the present war. He is "a
years of age and has been free from
anti-entente proclivities.
