Greek Premier Virtually Dismissed. While technlcally King Constantine ted the resignation of M. Venize- 1o, action amounted to dismissal o( the premier. The Greek chamber )proved the premier's merely t Pprotest against the allies land- ing on Greek soil and his declaration that Greece was bound by treaty and vital .interests to go to Serbia's aid, withmlz waiting for & declaration of wér by Bul by a majority of 40 ina hmue of 267, of whom 13 abstained’ from voting. The majority may have appeared not a large one for committing the country to war and thus the king may have felt justified in informing the premier that ke could not pursue the cabinet’s policy to the end. A coali- tion cabinet, without M. Venizelos, will prob.bly be’formed, with probably ex- Premier Rhallis or ex-Premier Zaimis at the head. The possibility that Greece may try to remain neutral, fearing to stake the ufion- fate upon the success of either party to ?9 great war, is recognized llt England, small. The hopes of the entente pow- era are that popular sentiment is with and that the king may find it bow before the will of the e, as he has done before.
