Berlin assumes, of course. that the

The German press generally praises
Constantine to a remarkable degree.

JONNART TELLS GREEKS
WHY KING WAS DEPOSED
Says Germans and Bulgars, Through
Constantine, Were Taking Away
Hellenes' Liberties.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATHENS, via London. June 16-M
Jonnart. the high commissioner repre-
senting France. Great Britain and Rus
sia, who recently brought about the
abdIcation of King Constantine, has
published the following proclamation
addressed to the Hellenes
France, Great Britain and Russia
desired the independence. greatness
and prosperity OF Greece. They intend
to defend the brave little land they
have liberated against the united eff
forts of the Turks, Bulgarians and
Germans. They are here to check
mate hhe maneuvers OF the hereditary
enemies of the kingdom. They will put
an end to the repeated violations of
the constitution, of treaties and the
deplorable intrigues which led up to
the massacre Of soldiers of the allies.
Yesterday Berlin was in command
of Athens and was gradually leading
the people under the yoke of the Bull
garians and Germans. We resolved to
re-establish the constitutional rights
and unity of Greece. The protecting
powers. therefore, demanded the abdi-
cation of the king. They have no in
tention of tampering with the constitu-
tional prerogatives; they have other
aims, namely. to assure the regular
country. to which tho late King George
of glorious memory has always been
scrupulously faithful. but which King
Constantine has ceased to respect.
"The Blockade Is Raised.''
"Hellenes, the hour of reconciliation
has arrived. Your destinies are closely
associated with those of the protecting
powers; your ideals are the same as
theirs your hopes are identical. We
appeal to your good sense and patriot
ism.
To-day the blockade is raised Any
reprisal against Greeks, to whatever
party they belong, will be pitilessly
depressed. No breach Of the peace will
be tolerated. The liberty and pros
perity of every one will be safeguarded.
This Is new era OF peace and la Dor
which is opening before you. Know
that. respectful of the national SOW
ereignty, the protecting powers have

people general mobilization.
Long live Greece, united and free"

GERMANS ARE WORRIED
BY j. S. ACTIVITY IN WAR
Gen. Pershing's Arrival in France
Is Cause of Commotion Among
the People.
Especial Cablekram to The sunday Star
and New York Timea.D

THE HAGUE. June 16-The anxiety
of the German public over the effect Of
American intervention in the course OF
events at the front has been heightened
by the publication of the news that Gen
Pershing has already arrived in France
and that 800 men have landed All Ger
manys military experts are trying to
reassure the public and explain either
that no American army viii reach France
or that II 1t does II viii be too late
The Vossische Zeitung yesterday pub
lfshed three columns from an officer of
the general stan explaining Just why
America either could not send men, or
at any rate would send very few.
Calls It "'sheer Bluff"
Don. let yourself be bluned That
is the easiest motto for getting over
all life's difficulties" he says, and pro-
ceeds to argue that the whole story
of practical American aid is sheer
blum. He says the allies always bluff
hardest when things are going very
wrong. and SO from the amount OF blufr
about America now being circulated
the Germans can judge how near de-
spair the entente must be.
He adds:
The only truth. so far. appears to be
that there has arrived in Europe an army
medical formation Of 200 people plus
a mfllfonafre's daughter, Miss Morgan,
whose knowledge OF hospital work Is,
OF course, equal to a large military
support"
One critic says that It is quite pos
stole, and even probable, that Gen
Pershing has arrived with 900 men, but
these are only intended to get ex-
perience at the front and then go home
and train others. He says: Every
man who has served his time knows IL
takes about 10000 trained men to
train another million. so that America s
trained army Of $4,000 would sufice to
train about 100000 men"
Not Ready Before October.
1T is doubtless true" he says, shat
by the end of October or Whereabouts
America might have soma fve divisions,
or $4,000 men, ready to take the field.
And even II there are few more.
America will be glad to have a few di
visions at home. prepared to face any
opponent, because you can never tell
what may happen"
The last sentence Is a reference to
Germany's constant hope that Mexico
Will attack or that the Germans in
America will organize a revolution Tho
critic comes to the conclusion that no
American evolutionary corps will get
farther than some French trainin z
camp this year. and certainly none will
do any fighting. He declares that by
the time the American troops are really
ready for the front the war will be
over.

STOCKHOLM. June 16.-Constan-
tines fall and the dramatic develop
ments in Greece are tho bitterest pills
that tho Germans have been forced to
swallow since America Joined the al
lies. To realize how hard tho blow
has been felt 1t is necessary to read
between the lines of German publica-
tions.
In political circles 1t is regarded as
tlefield. and even the press is referring
to the passing Of ''Tino" as an entente
victory.
THE allies have won their first victory"
The Voesisches financial expert writes:
The entente has victory to book at
last 1t is tho first in three years The
battle OF Athens has ended for the pres
ent with a victory for the glorious arms
Of the English. French. italian and per-
haps also their Russian allies. Although
the victory was bloodless. because it was
other Violations Of law. after nearly three
years Of effort. 1t is mono the less note
worthy"
Bourse Reacts Unfavorably.
The sensitive Berlin bourse also re-
acted unfavorably to the news. Under
the headline. 1.-The Greek Tragedy" the
Vossische says:
News Of Constantine's abdication
had only a slight influence on the
bourse. and, although one naturally
imposed restraint on ones self in judg-
ing the political consequences of this
fact speculation was for the most part
not inclined to see special reason for
uneasiness in 1t.
Business in general was pretty
quiet. although the stability Of the
market was maintained in mart after
initial wavering."
This description of the effect upon
the bourse speaks volumes to one long
accustomed to interpret Berlin fnan-
cial reports.
Germany has been so isolated that
complete statements concerning devel-
opments in Greece have not been avail
able to persons other than officials and
diplomats. but after the conflscation of
the Thessalian harvest and the occu-
patton Of Epirus 1t was believed that
the entente would show no further con-
Germ for the king.
