Rome, Nov. 19.--Princess Andreas,
and Christorphoros. of Greece, broth
ers OF King Constantine. stated to
the Associated Press today that they
believed the plebiscte for deciding
upon the occupant Of the throne,
would be held next week. They de.
clared it would be n demonstration
in favor of Constantine that would
eclipse that Of the recent election
in that country.
THE present attitude of the Greek
people" said Prince Andreas. must
not be considered as condemnation
OF the foreign policy OF former Pre-
micr Venizelos, but only as repudia-
ton of his dlctatorial systems of in
ternal government. A few years ago,
the opponents of NJ. Nenizelos, who
were hiding, sent memorandum
to the Italian. French and British
governments, emphasizing their up-
port OF the Greek foreign policy as
adopted by NJ. Nenl2elos, but insisting
IL was imperative to remove him
from power. because Of his domestic
policy. England. therefore, need not
fear the return OF Constantine to the
Greek throne, AS that would not mean
any change In the country's foreign
policy. 1t would, however, signify
the paoification OF what parties n,
home which would render Greek rela-
tons with the allied countries moro
advantageous. Constantine never fav-
ored n policy against interests Of the
entente. Reports stating he circulated
secret understanding with the CEN
tral empires were absolutely false

Reds" Unable to Gain Converts
in Denmark.
Tendency Is to Regard Them as Mere
Anarchist RabbIe-Merchants
Not Helpless.

Observation-Disclosures has not OBJ
tanned SO strong hold in Denmark as
it has in Norway, writes Copenhagen
correspondent Of the widely-read Brit

mark the syndicalists. strive to play
much the same role as do the left
socialists in Norway, who are reported
to be supporters of the Russian brand
of socialism.
'The syndicalists, however, make no
show in the Danish parliament" says
the correspondent. "Since the riots In
Copenhagen last November, when the
GrontOry district in tie center of the
city was wrecked and many scores of
civilians and policemen were injured,
there has been tendency to regard
them as mere anarchist rabble. But,
as everywhere in Scandinavia, their
power over the wage earners is greater
than their voting strength, and they
have succeeded, usually against the
Association of Trades Unions, which
has large majority behind it, in bring
ing about prolonged strikes.
"The Danish syndicalists, by violent
attacks on the majority socialist party
and denunciation of its leaders, Staun-
ing and Borgbjerg, have gained GER
tain pull among the wage earners.

the Russian bolsheviki has been re-

cabinet a good excuse for repression
