Greece Breaks off
Relations with the
Teutonic Allies

Athens. June 29.-The Greek govern
ment has broken diplomatic relations
with Germany. Austria Hungary, Bull
garia and Turkey.
Greece's new course with regard to
the war began to be shaped on June u,
with the addiction Of King Constantine
and the accession Of Alexander, his
second son, as king.
Eliptherios Venizelos. Greece's lead
ing statesman and steadfast friend of
the Entente, soon appeared as the man
to take the leadership on guiding
Greece back to her traditional place
by the side of England, France and
Serbia.
Signs that Greece would not much
longer maintain even a nominally, or
benevolent, neutral attitude towards
the Entente in the war were in evil
dence several days ago and recent dis
patches indicated that a formal breach
between Greece and the Central Pow
ers was imminent.
