GREECE UNDER CONTROL OF INSURGENTS Change in Government Carried Out Without Bloodshed Crown Prince Takes Throne After Abdication
CONSTANTS IN JAIL BULLETIN CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 28 Former King Constantine of Greece, who abdicated yesterday is reported to hare been Imprisoned by the revolutionaries in Athens. ATHENS, Sept.' 28. A "provisional revolutionary committee" has been formed and has issued the following proclamation: "An accord having bqgn reached with the Triantafillakos government which resigned, the provisional revolutionary committee will assume power with the least Dossible dfilav "Until now it has been reiving- fnr the maintenance of order and the protection of all citizens without exception, upon the patriotism of the Hellenes and the ardent desire of the people for reconciliation and bridging over the chasm a desire the revolutionary party espouses. "Disturbers of order to whatever political party they belong, will be punished in accordance with revolutionary justice." What Has Occurred. The first phase of the Greek revolution has ended with the abdication of King Constantine in favor of tho Crown Prince and the tumult as sufficiently subsided, while the next steps are preparing, to allow a retrospect of what has occurred. In the first place, the revolution so far has been bloodless. Insurgent troops from the Greek islands where the movement had its inception, landed at Piraeus, entered the capital and now are barracked in the public" buildings, occupying the city without bloodshed. The Royalists under General Constantinopolous, commanding th-i district, and Colonel Seutos, command, ing the garrisons, attempted armed resistance against the rebels, but the Venizelos group under General Pangalos opposing the government, outwitted the other faction, took possession of the prefecture of police, arrested Colonel Soutos and finally became master of the situation, the. Royalist troops being led back to their quarters. - - King Steps' Out "'' " " King Constantine's manifesto abdicating in favor of his eldest son fol lowed. The king at first intended tJ resist the insurrectionary movement,; his generals, and Prince Nicholas, hi-s brother, advising such a course, but the monarch soon recognized the impossibility of making an effective resistance and the counter revolutionary preparations were ordered stopped. The next step was taken by the civilians The leaders of the Venizelos paity went t6 meet the leaders of the military movement and held a conference at which the organization of a new government and the dynastic question were discussed. Even the question of proclaiming a republic if such a step seemed necessary, was taken up by the conferes. Nider Next Premier. The prospects at this writing seem to be that General Nider, undoubt edly will be called to the premiership of the new government, with former Foreign Minister Carapanos becoming foreign minister, unless M. Coromilas should resume the ministry with former Finance Minister Alexander Dicmede again becoming minister of finance. King Constantine's abdication came after dramatic scenes, with the palace surrounded by an angry mob of revolutionists demanding his dethronement. It was not until the mob threatened to seize the person of the sovereign that an emissary appeared at a window of the palace and announced the abdication. Addresses Message. General Papoulas had previously been sent to treat with the revolutionists, but, finding his entreaties unavailing, joined their cause himself. The government then sent a second envoy, but the mob was obdurate, de- ' clarins: "We are resolved to de: throna the author of Greece's misery!" Constantine addressed the following message to the Greek people:, "Yielding to the solemnly expressed will of the Greek people I returned to Greece in December, 1920, and reassumed my. royal duties. I declared then and took a solemn oath that I would respectfully observe the articles of the constitution. "This declaration corresponded, both with my private desire and that sof Che Greek people, as well as the international interests of our country. Within the limit of the constitution, I did everything humanly possible for the defense of the interests of the nation. Sees Great Future "Today regrettable misfortunes have led our country into a critical situation, but Greece, as in so many other instances in the course of her centuries long history, will again over come her difficulties and will continue on her glorious and brilliant path, provided she faces the danger with a united front and is assisted by her powerful friends. "Not wishing to leave in the mind of anybody the slightest suspicion that, bv remaining on the throne, I have prevented to however a slight degree the pacred unity of the Greeks and the resistance of some friends. I have ab dicated the royal power. "From this moment, my eldest son, Prino Oeoree. is your king. I am , Rure the entire nation will rally around him. will assist him with all its forces and at the cost of all sacrifices, in his difficult work." "As for myself, I am happy that an other opportunity has been given me (Please Turn to Page Fourteen)

12 U.S. DESTROYERS OFF TO TURK ZONE TO AID PROTECTION (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Sept 28. Secretary Denby announced today that the 12 destroyers ordered to proceed from Norfolk to Constantinople are: the Hatfield, Gilmer, Fox, Kane, Hopkins, Bainbridge, McFarland, Overton, Sturtevant. King, Parry, and GofT. The date of their departure has not yet been announced. By A. L. BRADFORD WASHINGTON, Sept. 28. With 12 American destroyers under orders to rush to Turkish waters and aid in the "protection of American interests," It was apparent that the United S'lites will play an important role in the efpromem. The prediction was made in an of ficial quarter that this action was the result of Secretary of State Hughes' announcement that the Unit ed States stands back of the allies policy regarding the Dardanelles and the action in sending more destroyers to the war zone would 'participate in the conference in Venice on Near East questions. The decision to send the additional destroyers to Constantinople, officially announced late yesterday, was reached by the navy department after consultation with the state departmentRequest for Ships A request for additional ships and supplies was made by Rear Admiral Mark Bristol, in command in Turkish waters. The destroyers are being made ready for the long voyage at Norfolk. The vessels are expected to leave within the next few days, but are not due to reach Turkish waters for two or three weeks. Announcement by the navy department that the destroyer force being sent to Constantinople r would not engage in any military and naval defense of the Dardanelles is believed to indicate that it is intended merely to insure respect for American interests there. This, observers believe, does not necessarily conflict with the belief that the American government would fight by diplomatic means to obtain what it considers essential to American interests in the Near East.

Describe Maritza River as Turkey's 54-40 or Fight Line (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 28. The Maritza river, which has within the last week come to the front in the day's news as the limit of European territory the allied powers are willing to give the victorious Turks, is described as Turkey's "fifty-four-forty or fight", in a bulletin issuedtoday by the National Geographic society. "The Maritza river is like the Rhine, between France and Germany, a symbol, and a bone of contention among Bulgar, Greek and Turk," the society says. "Each of these peoples has
claimed the Maritza valley as belong ing to it on the ethnic grounds, .and such is the racial mixup in Thrace and the portion of Macedonia which adjoins it, that each has at least some excuse for its claims. "Thrace has for 500 years been In the anomalous condition of being Turkish territory, yet more Christian than Mohammedan more alien than Turk. Moreover, the non-Turks, nonMohammedans were more intelligent and more industrious than the Moslems, a fact which has heightened the non-Turkish aspect of the country, in spite of the burden of heavy taxation. persecution and massacre, which the non-Turks have had placed on their shoulders. In Military Mood. j "More or less unconsciously tho Turks seem, throughout their tenure of half a millenium in Europe, to have considered themselves engaged in a military occupation. Many of the Turks confined their activities to the cities where they were rulers or soldiers. Those who led the lives of peasants never wholly shook off their nomadism. They were less efficient than their despised Christian neighbors, a fact which led to many a pillaging and massacreing expedition; for the Moslems, howeve humble their station, were armed, while the Christians were not. Dreary, Plain "Eastern Thrace between the Straits and the Maritza river is of little value agriculturally. It is unattractive, dreary, monotonous plain with here and there swampy depressions. Large areas of the territory are unfilled and in summer they give the country the appearance of a desert. Furious fighting with little quarter raged over this region during the Bal kan war of 1912-13, as Bulgar and Turkish arms were alternately suc cessful. Turkish villages were de stroyed first, and soon after Bulgarian villages suffered a similar fate. When the Bulgarians finally controlled the region many Turks; resigned to fate, tiekked to Asia Minor, and under the Greek control of the past, few years that movement has continued, as a result the Thrace of today is even more strikingly non-Turkish than In the past." UNCLE SAM FACES JOB OF PROVIDING $2,225,000,000 (By United Press) By JAMES T. KOLBERT WASHINGTON, Sept. 28. Uncle Sam must solve a difficult financial problem in the near future. By the end of this fiscal year he must raise more than $2,225,000,000 to meet a deficit in running expenses and maturing obligations according to estimates prepared today by the budget bureau. This sum must be raised in addition to ordinary governmental receipts. More than $1,500,000,000 of this total must be raised before the end of the calendar year. The biggest single item is $900,000,000 and represents the Victory notes called for redemption on Dec. 15. Next in size is the sum of $515,000,000 to meet war savings certificates, maturing on Jan. 1. To this must be added $125,000,000 in interest on these certificates. ' ' " ' Other interest obligations total $125,000,000. Rounding out these figures is the prospective net deficit of $425,000,000 in running expenses. Expects Greater Revenue Budget bureau experts believe that part of the total Avill be met out of current receipts as they 'expect the new tariff measure to Increase the federal revenues to a measurable extent. An increase of $3,500,000 in cus toms receipts was noted last Saturday the first day the new tariff was in effect but this was partly due to the failure of eleventh hour efforts to import goods under the old rates. The prospective new deficit for this fiscal year totals $697,000,000 according to budget bureau estimates. There is an offset against this sum however, of $272,000,000 which represents the general balance in the treasury at the close of the last fiscal year. total receipts tor tnis nscal year were estimated at $3,073,825,311 while expenditures were placed at $3,771,258,542. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon is planning a series of funding operations to meet the obligations.

TURK POLICY OF ENGLAND MAY CHANGE Abdication of. Constantine May Make Possible Co-operation Between Lloyd George and Venizelos. TURKS ARFdEFIANT
? (By Associated Press) - -' LONDON, SepL 28. The abdication of Constantine of Greece making again possible co-operation between Premier Lloyd George and ex-Premier Venizelos may cause a lightning change in Great Britain's policy towards the Turks, according to wellinformed circles here today. It 'is asserted that a possible new conjunction of these two former coworkers is the explanation of the atti tude of pessimism which, since yesterday has been radiating from No. 10 Downing street." where this morning much apprehension was expressed regarding possible war-like acts of. the Turks in the vicinity of Chanak. With Constantine out of the way, it is claimed, there will be once more a chance of reorganization the best forces of Greece under Venizelos, whose Cretan soldiers were the backhnnp. of the nrmv until flnnstantinfi re placed the officers with his' own sympathizers, especially with generals untrained and inexperienced in the great war. Pro-Ally Leaders. It Is pointed out that the present revolutionists in Greece are reported to be not only pro-Venizelist but proally and that they are further men who believe heart and soul in the greater Greece. It is not believed that they will yield Thrace to . the Turks at least not without a struggle. Among military observers familiar with the situation it is not doubted that an entirely new phase of the whole Near East situation is being approached. It is generally reported that Mr. Lloyd George was reluctant to abandon the policy towards the Turks which had been pursued for three year3 ana that it was at a moment of pressure that he yielded to the French argument that the Turlis be permitted to re-enter Europe, where they had long been, as the prima minister pointed out in his recent statement, a troublesome factor. (United Press Correspondent) LONDON, Sept. 28. The British cabinet faced with the almost open defiance of Mustapha Kemal to the allied ' ultimatum that the Turks evacuate the neutral zone, met today with Lloyu George, at 10 Downing street. "The odds are only seven to six against war," one high official declared to the United Press as the session started. The cabinet, after a discussion of the Kemal note, adjourned until 4 p. m. It was evident, judging from Interviews with high officials after the meeting that close examination of tho note demonstrated to the British the gravity of the situation. One official described the note as "impertinent' Hope was expressed that Kemal would respond to General Harington s invitation to a conference. Kemal evaded the questions asked in the 48 hour ultimatum of the allies. Turks Grow Bolder. Stating that the Turks are not cognizant of the existence of a neutral zone, Kemal added that he was desirous of avoiding unpleasant Incidents, as were the allies. The Turks are viewed here as growing bolder In voicing their objections to the proposed near eastern peace plans which provide for the return of Thrace as far as the Maritza river to the Turks, and stipulating .-. that the. Turks must not invade the neutral zone. ,.... Grave fears were felt that the abdication, of King Constantine of Greece, who was forced from the throne by generals who are determined to occupy Thrace and defend it against ths' Turks, would only serve to complicate matters. It was admitted that this movement on the present heads of the three Greeclan generals would give to the Turks a pretext to move into Thrace before the conference on Oct. 2. (By United Press) ' - -" CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept 25. Mustapha Kemal poured his legions into the neutral zone today in defiance of the ultimatum of the allies.
