GRECIAN MONARCH IS SERIOUSLY ILL

King Constantine’s Pleurisy Attacks Grow Worse—His Death Would Change Greek War Attitude. Athens, Greece, May 23.' —Via London.—‘King Constantine, of Greece, who is ill with pleurisy, became more feverish after undergoing an operation yesterday, his temperature increasing to 101.8 and later to 103.2. Paris, May 23. —A dispatch from Athens to the Havas Agency says that after a conference of the Greek cabinet ministers with the doctor treating King Constantine it was decided to telegraph to Berlin for a specialist. The king’s fever increased yesterday and an urgent operation was considered necessary. Premier Gounaris, it was added, has given up his contemplated voyage to Saloniki. The latest bulletin from the sick chamber indicating that the temperature of the king had risen caused the greatest anxiety in Athens. Crown Prince George is at his father’s bedside* Other dispatches from Athens comment on the fact that the 25-year-old prince is very close to ex-Premier Venizelos, who resigned the premiership last March because King Constantine did not approve of hia warlike policy, and that he is very friendly to the nations of the triple entente.
