Fourth Of Latest Raids.

Germans in the new series of aerial at
tacks on England in which airplanes have
been substituted for Zeppelins. apparently

Military Measures Carried Out With

Still in Athens.

LONDON, June 13.-The abdication of
King Constantine Of Greece will cause
no regrets in England. In the days be-
fore the war he frequently visited Eng
ish resorts with his family and was a
popular figure here. but his actions since
the war began. which have been interpret
Cd as strongly pro-German, lost him al
most all his friends. For many months
there has been strong party inside and
outside parliament which demanded that
vigorous measures be taken to curb his
anti-entente activities.
The more active of Constantine's oppo-
nents even suggested in parliament that
efforts were being made in influential cir
cles to save him, bu. this was repudiated
repeatedly by the government. In this
matter, as in all others, the government
has acted in accordance with the wishes
of a majority of the allies
Russia Once Suspected.
Before the Russian revolution it was
suggested also that the imperialist party
OF Russia was exerting itself to save Con-
stantine's throne.
The former Greek crown prince George
is no more popular in England than Con-
stantine. as it is believed that he, like

is to be king. is expected to act more in

to the rescue Of Greece in her days Of
trouble.
In its comment upon King Constantine's
abdication the Westminster Gazette
after referring to Constantine's record and
his refusal of Serbia's appeal to come to
her aid and SO fulfill the treaty obliga-
tons he undertook after the second Bal
kan war, says:
The allies were absolutely sincere in
expressing their desire to protect the in

Embarrassment of the coun-
tvs foreign trade and the neces-
sity of extending the embargo on
certain articles of domestic ship
ment, owing to the storage of
railway cars. have complicated
the commercial situation of late.
Steps have been taken to remedy
these conditions, and in some re-
spects a marked improvement
over earlier stages has already
taken place.
The international situation still
contains elements of grave UNI
certainty, which it would be the
part of wisdom to disregard. But,
on the other hand, no occasion
for undue alarm exists. This
country. under present circum-
stances, is not likely, in the i'm
mediate future at least, to suffer
from foreign attack, and even if
attacked successfully, we should
have a vast section of the coun-
try rich in minerals and foods
which any enemy would find it
difficult to capture and hold.
Our financial situation is one
of extraordinary strength. Gold
has poured into cur Golfers to
an extent probably never equaled
in the worlds history. The
banks are strong and well pre-
pared for any possible emergen

Big Union Meeting Of all the Churches
Of the City Called Ofi-COmmit.
tee Decides Not to
Hold Same.

Representatives of all of the Evan
gelical churches Of the lower part OF
the city excepting one, were present
at committee meeting in the Direc-
tors Room Of the Chamber of Com
merce on Saturday morning.
This committee was composed of
the minister and a laymember of each
evangelical church in the city. 1t was
for the purpose of deciding whether
or not to hold union evangelistic
meeting in this city during the next
fall. After some discussion the COM
mittee decided that it would be impos-
sible to hold the meeting on account
of the war, high prices, the cost of
living AMI lastly because there was
not complete unity among the
churches.
1t Is very unfortunate that the re-
vival could not be held this fall as 1t
would have been good thing for the
churches of Maysville. A great many
persons had expressed a desire to
have such a meeting but the latter
reason given was the main one for
not holding it.
