IT do not believe in the divine right
of kings. But the ex-kaiser and the
x-emperor Charles believed in this
theory as they often told me during
numerous conversations said ex-
King Constantine OF Greece to the
American correspondents today who
are at present visiting Switzerland
under the auspices of the Swiss gov
ernment. Asked his opinion OF the
leagu, of nations, Constantine said:
81 think the league of nations VIII
bring about permanent peace II Sc
cret treaties are done away with
His remarks about the country he
formerly ruled were brief but bitter
in regard to Premier Venizelos. Il
don't think the elections which are
to take place in Greece this fall Will
be fair, for / fear force will be en-
ployed," he said. Furthermore, L
don't think Venizelos will be re-
elected, because he is none TOO popu-
lar with the people,
Though he made no mention Of the
fact. persons in his suite believe
Constantine still has hopes of regain
ing the throne.
Informed by one of the correspond
ents present that an American jour-
naIist had sent to him a letter warn
ing him of the approach OF the
Greek revolution, Constantine re-
piled: IT refused to see the corre-
spondent because he did not present
himself according to court rulings.

stantine clearly shows signs OF worry
and fatigue. His hair has become
whittier and, though we'll. In health,
his features are drawn. He appears
to be extremely nervous. He was
surprised at the news that his broth =

He made no mention OF his son. who
now rules in his place, and seemed
to be anxious that the interview
