GREEKS CHEER CONSTANTINE
Thousands Gathered At Station to
View Return of Their King.

Athens.-Contantine of Greece, re-
moved from the throne by action Of
the Allied powers in 1917, and called
back by the recent plebisc!te to re-
sumo his former status, returned to
Athens Sunday. He came into the
city by train and was received at the
Place Della Concorde.
Contantine's train steamed into the
Laurion station, about 100 yards from
the Place de la Concorde, with the
returning monarch, like an ordinary
traveller. Constantine, however, was
greeted by the cheering OF thousands
of persons, who had been awaiting his
arrival since o'clock in the morning.
In a carriage drawn by six horses,
with outriders, and followed by troops
a procession, with Constantine at its
head, started for the stadium.

LEAKS" TO v. s. CoMPETiTO
DISCOVERED, SAYS FORMER
NAVY OFFICER.
ADVANTAGE INPLACINe OF BIDS
President Of Western Union Admits
Cables Filed In England Are
Held Several Hours.

shington.-American commercial
messages handled by British cable
company were turned over to British
merchants at Rio de Janeiro during
the war, giving the British an advan-
tage over their American competitors,
Captain +. X. HILL, United States
navy, retired, testified before a sub
committee OF the senate interstate
commerce commission investigating
cable management and control. Hill
was naval attache stationed at Rio
de Janeiro during the war.
Hill said messages sent by Amer
lean merchants over British cables
from Rio to New York and other
American ports found their way i'm
mediately into hands of British mer-
chants at Rio.
The Rio agents Of an American
electrical firm sent a message to New
York, asking for a bid for a pro-
spective Brazilian customer, Hill said.
The message, before It reached New
York, was turned over to a British
electrical firm at Rio and when the
American bid arrived. the American
agent found his British competitor
already had submitted one, the wit
ness said
Hill said this was but one Of many
instances Of leaks" Of American
commercial messages British mer.
chants freely and openly availed
themselves of while he was at Rio.
He said he had investigated frequent
complaints OF American merchants at
Rio and had found British business
and commercial interests at Rio were
appraised of contents of American
commercial messages the instant they
were filed with the British cable COM
pany.
Newcomb Carlton, president Of the
Western Union, told the committee
American cables filed in Great Brit
ain are held four or five hours by
British naval authorities. He said he
| understood this had to do with dis
ORDERS in Great Britain, probably in
ireland. He said he had informed
the state department OF this but never
had complaints from American bust
ness concerns.
