MONDAY ALL GREECE WAS
 AFLAME WITH REVOLUTION

Afitylene, Sept. z6.-4t15y the K sK s11--@' All Greece including her islands. is afame with the revolution which began Monday night on the historic island in the Aegean sea.
 Seventy-flye thousand disaffected sol diers who were driven out of Smyrna by the forces of Mustapha Kemal Pasha, stormed the governor generals palace and imprisoned all the officials. including the governor and generals Braca and Franzo. They took possession of the telegraph lines and of the radio, so that Athens would not know a revolt was under way. Their next move was to seize the port officers and to take over command of the battleships Lemmos and KillloS.
 Then they communicated all the ves- sells in the harbor, including the Greek trans-Atlantic liners Megali Hellas and Patris. before embarking for Piraeus on these vessels the soldiers paraded the streets with Yenizelist banners and eff figies of King Constantine.
 Shouting down with Constantine and we want Crown Prince George the troops fired revolvers andl sang the veni- zelist hymn. While these eAdemonstrations were in progress 60000 fugitives from Smyrna, suffering from fright, hunger and exposure were too stunned or de- pected to participate in the instruction Amid the scene of disorder and excite- ment dramatic figure was A. K. Jen- nings. of New York, of the near east re- lief, who is attempting single-handed to alleviate the sufferings and quiet the fears of the distracted fugitiyes. On the in itiative and enterprise of Mir. Jennings a steady stream of boats is kept running between Mitylene Island and Smyrna taking off refugees from the inland and 1 survivors of the Smyrna fire.
 l At first the captains of Creek boats refused to go to Smyrna fearing they
 would be seized by the Kemalists but l Mir Jennings arranged to have them dis card their Greek flags and conveyed by
 American torpedo boat destroyers te 1 Smyrna. Through his resourcefulness MT Jennings doubtless vas the means of say l ing thousands of persons from fire and l famine. He has won the admiration oi the entire island.

 Those who are closely observing the trend of political affairs in the country, the statement added, will not fail to take note of the fact that while Presi- dent Harding received 61t.670 votes for president in New Jersey in 1920 the to- tai republican vote cast for both FreliSg- huysen and Record in one of the hardest fought and most spirited and bitterest primaries in the history of the state was much less than half the vote cast for Mir Harding in 1920"

BRITISH CABINET HELD
 THREE MEETINGS YESTERDAY

London. Sept. 2S CBy the A. P.)--The British cabinet held three successive meetings today. and another meeting will be held tomorrow morning. Thss fact alone is sufficient comment upon the gravity of the situation in the near east, revealed by yesterdays bad news, which has been amply confirmed and accentuated by today's dispatches.
 Latest advices are to the effect that there has been no collision between the Turkish and British forces in the Cha nak zone, and that seems to be the only satisfying aspect of a ver< threatening situation. Friendly messages have been exchanged between General Harrington the British commander at Constantino- pie. and Kemal Pasha, discussing ths manner, but the Kemalists show not tn, slightest disposition to recede from theil position. and refuse to withdraw ther troops from ant Chanak sector.
 On the other hand. according to gov. ernment despatches and correspondent on the spot, an additional Turkish fore, entered the neutral zone today, anC there is a constant increase in the Turk ish troops in both the Chanak and Is mid sectors. Not only do the KemalisL refuse to retire from the neutral zone i ignoring all British warnings, but thel are reported to have declared that the, will not permit the British to build for tifcations at certain points within tn zone.
 In Constantinople it is believed tha i the situation has been relieved by tn Kemalist agreement to recognize tn, neutrality of the straits, pending the ar mistice conference. Another point oi the peace side is that General Haring ton still professes confidence in Ksmar
 moderation. He sent a wireless mes sage to the nationalist leader al, Smyrn
 this evening asking for an immediat
 personal meeting and leaving the choic of place to kemal Pasha
 The British government is delaying it
 reply to the Russian note. pending fur | ther developments. With regard to Ke nal Pasha's protests against British de 1 molition on the south side of the strait
 and the sea of Marmora, the Britis l government states that these were exc 1 cuted in 1920 and that anything don
 since then was quite unimportant. Re l garding the Turkish complaints that tn sea of Marmora is closed to Turkis l troops, the British contention is that has thoroughly maintained absolute neu
 trality as between the Greeks and tn Turks and that the whole of the sea T Marmora is free to both the Turks an Creeks equally.

And how about Venizelos. He has a personal aversion to me. But men con ducting great affairs must stiae per- sonal considerations and work together for the common good. If the Grecian people want Venizelos; if they elect him to parliament and he becomes chief of the predominant party, 1 see no reason why he should not become premier. Un- der our constitutional system, I would have to build upon him, and I would do so. But Venizelos must recognize the existing government and the existing regime. Would the great American de- mocracy want at the head of its cabinet a man who did not recognize it's con stitution or its existing regime The interview then deals with inter nal conditions which have largely been superseded by later events.
 T have always admired America" the king went on, and have always had the ambition to visit there Who knows Perhaps some day. I cannot understand why America has not recognized me America is a democracy. and the people of Greece at plebiscite summoned mt to come back as king. It is the voice of the people, which America loves S much to listen to. I have some impress sion that Americas recognition of mt has something to do with the European powers recognizing President Obregon oi | Mexico. The European powers say thai l if the United States recognizes me, thes in turn will recognize Obregon.

 That's it." replied King Constantin with his pleasant smile, "as Bernarc Shaw would say I'll stay until Tn spoofed.' 7"

RETURN OF vENIzELos TO
 GREECE IMPROBABLE

Paris. Sept. 2s.-(By the A. P.)-rhe return of venizelos to Greece is regard ed as improbable in Greek circles in Paris, especially in view of the attitude adopted by the French cabinet today. Now that the cabinet has decided that the abdication of King Constantine will not change the French attitude toward Greece. the supporters of venizelos be- lieve that the former premier would not return except with definite guarantees of certain allied support.
 Despite this feeling, observers are unit ed in asserting that zenizelos is the one man who can restore Greece to her pro- per place among the nations. M. Venizelos, who is expected to reach Paris from Deauvilie Saturday, refuses to say a single word on the situation He will confer with his intimates in Paris and may then announce his definite deci- sion.
