The Greek Royalists' first meeting
nlsce was Switzerland, where they were
allowed free liberty to roam in what
ever Canton they desired. The leading
spirit in the present campaign for the
restoration Of Constantine, or whoever
|, he cares to designate, has been Prince
Andrew, his brother, who is said to
have been involved IN plots for the
disappearance of Nonizelos.

Consul at Bsrn, taken in Athens dur

tion plots. 1t was shown that three

swore that they would rid Greece of

or cost.
After the attempt on the life Of the
Greek Prime Minister in the Lyons
Station at Paris, following the sign
ing OF the treaty with Turkey. il was
decided to point out to the Swiss gov
ernment to what extent the Greek
Royalsts had prohted by their sojourn
IL Switzerland.
Andrew Is Told to Move
The Greek auth critics were investi-
eating the matter. when a hint was
given TO Prince Andrew that he was no
longer persona grata in Switzerland
His delay IN leaving the country would
have Jeoparcized his brother Constan-
tine, so he came to Italy with his wife
and children.
Their first place of residence was
Venice. 1t w1s considered halfway

would prefer to come to Italy. He did
not hesitate to suggest to Prince An

him, peace Of mind and liberty of ac-
ton would be his. Not only did An
drew come to Rome, but he coaxed his
brother Christopher and his wife, nee
Leeds, to come, too. 1t seems that
rlncess Christopher is very much in
ielested in her brother-ln-law's aspira-
tons, even to the extent of financially
backing the enterprise. If Constantine
is successful and decides not to take
the throne, he can always appoint
successor. Probably from gratitude he
would appoint Christopher.
Royalists Occupy Three Hotels
The Royalists occupy the greater
part Of three hotels in Rome. Prince
Christopher. his wife, her son, boy
CT seventeen, his tutor and an army
q servant are at the Grand Hotel;
Prince Andrew, his wife and children
and smaller staff OF servants are at
Tie Royal, while at the Russie suite
ol sixteen rooms is being held at the
disposal e he Royalists. There was
great deal of curiosity about this
cutie which has remained unoccupied
l0r hfteen days, and is being paid for
as If used.
1t now appears that Prince Andrew,
knowing the scarcity Of house and hotel
accommodation, ordered the Russle
