The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-02-05

shall ruthlessly expose the infa- mous and double-dyed treachery of the ex-Kfng and his wife Sophia. They were a pair of arch-conspirators against the liberties and honor of my beloved country.
 Tino and his wife would betray their most intimate friends if they believed it would further their per lsonal ambition. Without troubling you at present with my own affair, let me relate, first of all, the extraor- dinary story of international intrigue connected with their dealings with FTeda von Sternberg, who was their most trusted go-between in their dealing with their beloved brother, the Kaiser.
 Freda von Sternberg was a woman rof middle age. She was tall, at itractive and fascinating. She was just the sort of spy whom Sophia, domineerins and ill-tempered, favor ed.
 She was a clever linquist, spoke French with a Parisian accent, Eng fish of the May fair type, Arabic with the fluency of a Turk. She was too,
  "a name that sounds ill-omened to the ears of all decent men. She was sacrificed by the cowardice and weak mess of the treacherous King.
 Extraordinary Message
 King Constantine dictated the fol- lowing letter on October 4, 1915 to his brother-in-law, the Kaiser which, translated into English reads: ''The Allies cannot win. We are with you heart and soul. We shall soon be ready to join Turkey and Bulgaria against our common foe. My German-trained officers are ready at any time. Venizelos and his crowd can be suppressed. Urge no delay or it may be too late. Falkenhausen has every facility as an officer of the Greek army. Greetings from myself and Sophia
 hl Constantine was so perturbed lest his precious letter should fall into the hands of the Allies that he insisted upon Freda copying it and herself carrying the copy to the capital of the German Empire.
 Let me say at once that I protested, as any friend of civilization and right must do. With all respect I warned his Majesty of the growing power of ' Venizelos-one of the sturdiest of pa triots and truest of men Greece has ever known-and even hinted that such treachery would endanger the very existence of the dynasty itself.
 Tino Can Out-~sIun q Hun
 I might have spared my breath. The King bluntly ordered me to obey his instructions, adding threatening 1 ly that he knew well how to deal with servants who opposed his will or dared to dictate to him. But" I ventured, your Majesty s promises to the Allied Powers, if this is known"
 The King smiled cynical1y as he in terrupted:
 eff this is known I shall repu- diatc it. We have nothing to fear.
 It is not in my handwriting or
 that of my secretary. It will be
 simple enough to pronounce the
 whole thing a forgery"
 Here you have an insight into the real character of the eX-I<ing of the Hellenes.
 
 like his Queen, he was false, self seeking. and interruptions, and wa. every ready to throw over those by whom he sought to carry out his | schemes for personal advantage anC aggrandizement.
 But to do him justice I must sa! that he would have been a bette man and a more worthy monarch hat it not been for Sophia. The figur of the Kaiser's sister, dark, imperi ous, sinister, was always behind him i and over them both brooded, like : vulture, the Emperor William him self.
 Scheming in Private Room
 Freda von Sterrberg was summon ed to the Palace, where I receive, her in the Kings private apartments The windows of the room into whicl she was shown were screened and tn : walls thick and soundproof. A dool 1 which fitted tightly into the pane at one side, led to a library whic the King occupied exclusively.
 These two places formed a centre C intrigue such as, I hope has no cour terpart in Europe, for there wer weaved plots not only against the A lies, but against the patriotic Greek men who would have willingly she the last drop of their hearts bloc for their country.
 ''You received letter from my seC retary to copy?" Tino asked, an without waiting for her to reply, wer on; q want you to take it to tt Emperor personally. It is of the u most importance. The Allies are ge ting restive, and may at any momel refuse to be put off with promises benevolent neutrality. You can te his Majesty, in addition, that we al doing everything possible to maE Colonel Faulkenhausen's mission success a

 The woman hesitated.
 "Wen?" asked Tino impatiently.
 'I was just wondering, sir wh would happen Tiff 1 am unable leave Greece. I am afraid that the are people who already suspect m and if they found this letter in n possession"
 ~Oh, you must take the risk that" said the King, adding quickl Those who are in the seryice of state must always be preparad for u
