mands for the withdrawal Of the

scene of disaster in Anatolia and

and destroyers as transports, sailed to
the mainland and moved on Athens
under the leadership of regular Off

King Constantine, the formation Of a
ministry friendly to the allies and the
sending of reinforcements to Thrace.

and Constantine formally abdicated
the throne in favor of Crown Prince
George, who was sworn in. For the

of her previous misfortunes"

concerning the Turkish straits taken
without her participation or arrived
at against her interests"
