Athens, Dec. 21.-Amid the thunder
Of cannon, the hum of circling air.
planes and the roaring cheers of a
great thrOng, Constantine of Greece
entered Athens. His arrival was COM
pared by his admirers to Napoleon's
return from Elba, and tears Of JOY
were seen flowing down the cheeks of
people swarming near his carriage.
Immediately after alighting from the
railway train, Constantine drove to
the cathedral, where magnificent
service was given, all the bishops in
Athens participating.
1t was noticeable that no foreign
ministers were present during the well
coming ceremonies. The arrival of
Constantine was not marred by any
Incidents.
The approach of the royal train was
signaled by the arrival at the tiny
terminus of the railway near Place de
la Concorde of three royal carriages,
which stopped in front of the station
at IL o'clock. The kings carriage was
drawn by six black geldings driven by
three uniformed outriders and was
draped in royal purple. In the throng
were villagers, wearing the national
costume of white skirt, red cap and
black stockings, dock laborers and city
dwellers; and a detachment of French
bluejackets was in evidence. Cabinet
members arrived just before the train
pulled into the station and were fol-
lowed by Queen Mother Olga and
Prince and Princess Christopher.
When Constantine emerged from his
railway carriage he bowed salutations
to the crowd and tears were seen
in his eyes as he said to those near
him: BE still, my children"
He embraced Queen Mother Olga
and shook hands with Princess Chris
topher and then was escorted to his
carriage, in which he was taken to
the cathedral.
Constantine read his address from
the balcony of the old palace in the
presence of 5000 persons. He was
dressed in marshars uniform and
Premier Rhallis stood on his right.
Queen Sophie and Princess Christie
phere also were present.
He declared he would establish in
ternal unity and exterior peace by
using the army to cultivate good rela-
tions with the allied powers. He said
the marriage of Prince George, duke of
Sparta, and Princess Elizabeth of Ru-
mania insured an alliance with that
country, and he declared he would
follow the policy of his fathers and
cultivate ancient Greek culture. Con-
stantine asserted, he suffered deeply
during his exile. He referred to the
late King Alexander as one "who had
done his duty"
An attempt to institute an anti-mon-
archist demonstration in Thrace after
the arrival of King Constantine from
Lucerne, failed.
The anti-royalist movement in
Thrace was headed by General Zim-
brakis. He is said to have fled toward
Constantinople, accompanied by sew
enty Of his adherents.
There were some American, British
and French warships in port at Phal-
eron, which withdrew before the ship
bearing Constantine arrived.
