GREEK ROYAL FAMILY
SEEKS FAVOR OF PEOPLE
Would Placate the Followers Of
Venielos-King's Brothers
Disliked by Many.

ATHENS, January 2s.-King Con-
stantine and all the members Of the
Greek royal family, now again in
Athens, are leaving nothing undone
to win favor with the people. On the
other hand, members of a section Of
the upper class Of society (the So
called lion hunters) are doing every
thing in their power to obtain adj
mittance into the royal circle.
The Venizelists, to whatever class
Of society they belong, regard King
Constantine as a selfish individual
who would sacrifice the interests of
Greece to satisfy his own ambitions.
The kings several brothers are also
heartily disliked In Venizelist circles,
for they never miss an opportunity
for making disparaging remarks
about the Cretan statesman, thanks
to whose astute diplomacy Greek
territory was extended to Its present
frontiers.

GRIEF CAUSE OF SUICIDE.
Late King Alexander's Chauffeur
Shoots Himself.

ATHENS. January 2s-The late
King Alexander's chauffeur, Mitso
Dimitriaies, committed suicide from
grief over the death Of the king,
which. it will be recalled, was the
result Of a monkeys bite.
Mitso was King Alexander's insep-
arabic companion on all his automo-
bile rides, and motoring was the
kings fad. Alexander was. per-
haps. the most affable sovereign in
Europe and had talent Of making
everybody feel at home. He was al
ways very kind to all the members Of
his household, but seemed more
strongly. attached to Mitso than to
any of the others.
When Alexander felt death ap-
preaching he called Mitso to his bed
side and gave him a small gold cross
which the King had worn all his life.
After the kings death. Mitso became
inconso1able. The other night while
contemplating a photograph Of the
king he shot himself. "A wreath sent
by Nine. Manos, King Alexander's
widow, was one of the floral offerings
at his funeral.

BERLIN, January a9.-Just as the
teeth Of person suffering from a

the sight of some one biting hard
toast or candied fruit, SO public
opinion in Germany was set on edge
by. the opening speech of Aristide
BRAND. He compared the economic
conditions of the two countries.
pointing out that Germany's tech
nical industrial apparatus remained
intact and exclaiming emphatically
that it was uncomfortable that the
conquered should be suffering less
than the conquerors. However, the
reasonable tone and deliberated sub
stance Of his speech cannot be criti-
cised.
Public opinion is often the result

Berlin, in the luxury of a hotel. a

Admits BRANDS Assertion.
IF so.> 1t would be easy for our
creditors to force Germany to nav
and the rulers in the Quai d'Orsay
would not be crushed under their
burdens. BRAND knows Germany's
distress through the terrible stats.
tics Of poverty of city children and
the unbearable sufferings of the mid
ole classes who formerly lived COM
fortably on salary or income, and
who now. on account Of the depreci-
ated money. are gradually obliged to
sell all their possessions, bought and
inherited. But he also knows what
the devastated regions of France
look like, where thousands still have
no roofs. and the statement that Ger
many's productive power is still in
tact is unquestionably correct.
1t Is an extraordinary fact that
those who finally were vanquished
never had. during the four years Of war,
the enemy on their soil and had to en-
dure only after peace the hardships and
suneringS which conquerors bore during
the war. 1t is just this paradox which
makes the settlement more difficult.
