PARIS, April liking Constantine
of Greece is understood to have served
notice on the British and French gov
ernments that unless they furnish aid
in the situation in which he has been
placed by the Greek military setbacks
in Asia Minor, he will gather his forces
and march on Constantinople. For
such campaign he intends to use not
only Greek troops, but to rally to his
standard many thousands of Russians
representing the remnants Of General
Wrangel's anti-Red army.
The Russians, for whom Constanti-
nople is the home of their Church, de-
sire nothing better than chance to
turn the Turks out of Saint Sophia
These anti-Bolsheviki also are said to
be seething with discomfort, feeling
that they have been abandoned by all
nations and that their situation is des-
perate.
Constantine's threat is causing con-
siderable worry to the heads of the
Allied governments, for it is recog-
nized that the Greeks, if reorganized
would be capable of carrying out the
occupation of the Turkish capital. The
Greek forces on the Tchatalja line
already are only twenty miles from
the gates of the city. In case they
advanced, some 100000 Greeks now
living in Constantinople are ready to
rise and welcome their brothers. The

New Demand Sent
Argentina to Hell p
Free u. S. Vessel
American View Is if Boycott
Is Not Lifted Ship Board
Will Discontinue Sailings
of Boats to BuenOs Ayres

BUENOS AYRES, April 15.-Frederic
j. Stimson, United States Ambassador
to Argentina, to-day sent what is de-
scribed as a vigorous note to the Ar
gentine Foreign Office, again insisting
that action be taken to release the
steamer Martha Washington from the
boycott of port workers and reiterating
the verbal repre- tions he made
to Foreign Minister Pueyrredon on
Wednesday.
Mr. stmson's action came as re-
suit of the continued failure of the
argentine government to take salts
factory measures to release the Amer.
lean steamer.
1t is known to be the viewpoint OF
American government officials here
that unless the Martha Washington is
released there will be no other re-
course but to cut off all Shipping Board
vessels plying between the United
States and Argentina, nun bering more
than three score.
This would be because they believe
in the present case will endanger the
free movement Of other ships in the
same way and require the American
Consulate to accept the rvention of
the foreign labor union in the settle
ment of difficulties between crews and
captains of American ships.
That there is a possibility Of such
withdrawal of Shipping Board vessels
is known to have been impressed, on
the Argentine authorities, as we'll as
the consequences to Argentine COM
merce with the United States.
The feeling of the American officials
is understood to be that the Argentine
authorities have done nothing more
than inform them with respect to the
demands and position of the labor
union and the Martha Washingtons S
complaining iremen, with the sugges-
ton of a compromise, notwith standing
the reiterated statements of the Amer-
can government that it would not deal
with the labor union, and that the com
plant of the tiremen was matter
solely for consular investigation.
Munson Line officials said to-day the
boycott was costing the line $4,000
daily in port charges and other ex-
penses.
