FAIL OF CONSTANTINE |
King of Hellenes Forced by Allies
to Abdieate Throne in Favor of
Second Son, Alexander.

Athens, June IL The fall .; Con-
stantine I, king of the Hellenes, has
come In response to the demand
Of the protecting powers, France,
,, Great Britain and Russia, re atdi-
Gated yesterday in favor of his sec
ond son, Prince Alexander
This climax in the affairs of
Greece was brought about through
the agency Of the French senator, NJ.
Jonnart, who has held posts in sew
eral French cabinets, and who ar
, rived at Athens only a day or two
ago on special mission as the rep
resentativc of France, Great Britain
and Russia. NJ. Jonnart had previ-
ously visited Saloniki and other
points, and he lost no time in getting
into conference with the Greek pre-
mier, Alexander Zaimis.
The demands of the powers re-
specting the abdication of King Con-
stantinc also specifically eliminated
Crown Prince George as his success
sor, the crown prince being included
among those Greeks in official life
WHO were considered strongly pro-
Gey..lrn.
AS in the case of Russia, the for
mation Of republic looms large as
the most probable result of the over
throw Of the reigning monarch. The
logical president of republic Of
Greece" would be Eleutherios Veni-
zelos, who is already the head of
provisional government established by
him at Saloniki. 4 considerable arm
ed force, called the "Venizelists,' is
fighting with Gen. Sarrai's army.
Chief interest now attaches to the
Greek army, which when fully mob
ilizcd, is between 10000 and 2O0,-
OOO strong. The army is known to
be absolutely loyal to King Constan-
tine. 1t is demobilizcd, however,
and it is to be assumed that meas
urcs have been taken by Sarrail to
see to it that it will remain so.

FOR RED CROSS WEEK"
Enthusiastic Meeting Held Last Night
in Alexandria to Arrange for the
Campaign of Next Week. =.

An enthusiastic meeting of citizens
interested in the work of the Red
Cross was held last night in the
| rooms of the Chamber of Commerce
/ for the purpose Of arranging for
Red Cross Week." beginning on
Monday next. Gardner L. Boothe,
president Of the First National bank,
presided as chairman, and the meet
ing was attended by large number
of the leading men and women of
the city.
Following general discussion Of
the matter it was decided to appoint
committees Of both ladies and gentle
men to make house to house can
vass of the city for the raising of
funds during the six days in which
the campaign will be carried on. These
committees will be named either to-
day or tomorrow, announcements
Will be made in the churches and
everything gotten in readiness for
starting the work promptly on Mon
day morning next.
I'm calling the meeting to order
Mr.. Boothe said: "There are only
two things for which / could be in
duced to solicit money-the hospital
and the Red Cross, and I am not
ashamed to ask any one for money
for the latter at this time, for the
most stupendous and appealing call
in the history of the world to aid
suffering humanity confronts the
American Red Cross today. And
Alexandria must do its duty and con
tribute its share, for very soon our
boys-our own personal friends and
rclatives--will be over there in the
trenches in need Of our help. It is a
work of mercy--a christian obliga-
tion-which demands the best that
is in us. The Red Cross War Council
has called for S1O0OO0,O0D to be
raised in this country in six Gays.
Let US help to see that our :oyal
men and women in Alexandria do
their part. Millions of men who have
been lighting for liberty lie dead or
wounded; millions Of women and
children are homeless and helpless;
hundreds Of towns and villages have
been destroyed; disease and distress
are rampant. Up to now, our own
people have not suffered. While Eu-
rope has been pouring out her life
blood America has experienced a
prosperity she has never known be-
fore. But we now are in this gigan-
tic war. We now see that the strug-
gle against autocracy and tyranny
which our allies have been making IS
and has from the first been, IN
reality, no less our struggle than
theirs. We ourselves must now snare
tie suffering which they have en-
dured; we too, must bear the bur-
dens and we must do our part in,
real way.
"We arc facing situation the
like of which has never existed. 1t
is most important that every man,
and every women in this city have
some idea of that obligation, some
idea of what the people of this coun-
try are looked to, to supply il we are
going to begin our work.
"Our great trouble today IS tnat
our people do not realize the sftua.:
ton throughout the countries now at
war. They must be mads to realize
them. and the Obligations upon us IS
to sec that it is done as soon as
possible"

NICHOLAS ORLOFF ARRIVES IN PERFECT
 TR|MFOR b|G BOUT
Attends Lyric Theatre-To Attend Bushman-Bayne Ball Tonight in Cos
 sack Uniform

Who is that tall, distinguished look ing man in the box?'' was question uni versally asked at the Lyric theatre last night and it was question few of the present could answer because they didn recognize him.
 Not to make any secret of the matter it was Nicholas Orloff, the giant Russian Cossack wrestler, who is booked to meet John Freberg next Monday night at the Jefferson theatre in a finish match. It IS the fourth of series of matches being presented here by Brown Parks. we'll known theatrical man.
 Orloff was the exposure of all eyes at the Lyric theatre last night and it must be confessed that he looked like dip lomat instead of a wrestler. Many Wrest> lers have been in Birmingham but few have there been that looked as little like the average wrestler as does Nicholas Or loff
 Orloff is young, clean cut, he has taken great care of his body, he dresses well and with an air as the Europeans asy, and is really striking looking figure aside from his great height and patiently enormous physical strength.
 Wrestling fans are looking forward to the match Monday night as one or the best that has yet been offered It will be recalled that both men have appeared be- fore Birmingham audiences recently and both have won instant favor With the fans Orloff went up against Cutler and the American was too much Tor hlm' but he was so aggressive and such a hard worker that there were many ex- pressions of approval and a universal de- sire on the part of the fans to see him in action again in Birmingham.
 Freberg, while he has not had really serious match in Birminghanl has shown enough in action to give an inkling Of what he has in his shop. and With the two men apparently equal in strength and ring generalship, 1t is not difficult to believe that a really remarkable match will result
 Incidentally, the uniform in which Or loff appeared at the Lyric last night was the same which he wore as memDer of the Imperial Guards, the finest cavalry organization of the Russian army, and before the revolution the garrison of the palace of the Czar.
 Orloff will attend the ball at the Hip podrome tonight, which is given in honor of the visit of Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne to the city Eastman IS a former wrestler. He is we'll acquainted with Orloff. The big Russian will attend dressed in his Cossack uniform.
