In the case of copper. These stocks
have existed in Europe as well as In
this country and so have affected the

ATHENS, Dec. 2G.-By Associat-

cannon and roaring cheers of great
throngs, King Constantine, of Greece,
entered Athens yesterday.
His arrival was compared by his
admirers to Napoleon's return from
Elba.
After being driven to the cathed-
raj King Constantine read an ad-
dress from the balcony of the old
palace in the presence of fifty thous-
and persons. He declared he would
establish internal unity and exterior
peace, using the army to cultivate
good relations with the Allied pow
ers.
The king said the marriage of
Prince George, the Duke of Sparta,
and Princess Elizabeth of Roumania,
insured an alliance with "that coun-
try" He declared he would follow
the policy of his fathers and cult
waite ancient Greek culture. He re-
ferred to the late King Alexander as

on at last. Americus stores report
On excellent buiness Saturday, with
plenty of cab buying, AMI may shop

took in more than $4,000 in cash in
that one day. Others did well, too,
proving that there still is money in
the country, which people will spend
when they really want to.
Buying was brisk again today in
the more progressive stores, which
have let the people know what the
have to offer and at what prices, and
sales are expected to continue heavy
until Christmas eve, with a grand
wind-up rU-h as a result of the late
start.
Postmaster Davenport was smiling
