Athens. Nov. 3O.-It is probable for
mcr King Constantine will not return
at once to Greece, but after the
plebiscite December several deputies
and ministers may go to Switzerland
to notify him of the result of the vote.

the favor of France and Great Britain,
which is taken to be evidence that
Greece is disposed to remain pro-
ally.

war, SHOULD in any case come to
Greece, as they were not given to her
because of the personal influence of
former Premier Venizelos."
Followers Of the former premier, as
party, are officially requested by
leaders of the organization not to take
part in the pebiscite. They pointed
ont the plebiscite will be held to clear
the present cabinet, and also Constan-
tine, of responsibility, and to make the
Greek people responsible for whatever
consequences the return of the former
king may have.

taken from them by the treaty, al
| though the allies would make sure OI
retaining their hold upon the strait,
OF the Dardanelles and the Turkish
| finances.
OF the five big powers which signcC
the peace treaty-Great Britain
France, Italy, Belgium and Japan

effective. Attention was called by th,
foreign Office to the fact that none o.
