GREEK GOVERNMENT NOT GUIDED BY GERMANY “Makes King Constantine Formal Denial of Stories. Washington, April 3 "ormal state- ments by King Constantine and by the Greek government denying stori that the king had been guided by Ger- man influence or had harbored hostil- ity to the entente were made public tonight by Charge Vouros of the Greek legation, who at the same time issued on his own initiative a denial of cer- tain “fabricated interviews” with tk kinz published in this country. £ Constantine’s statement denies specifically a story published in the Paris Temps. Referring to this arti- cle, the king savs he never received “from any sovereign of the group ene- my to the entente any telegrams, note or counsel whatsoever on the sub- ject of the policy he should follow ‘to maintain his throne’” He then em- phatically disclaims inferences “that ke or his governmtnt ever harbored hostile intentions of any kind toward the entente.” Mr. Vouros, in out that King “gtven certajn his denial, Constantine authentic, author: statements' to the correspondents The Associated Press in Greecs, as well as to certain British and French correspondents, but that a number of whollly fabricated interviews have been published, ‘gtving an entirely false impression of the attitude of King Constantine, which impression Is now being widely exploited by fac- tions in the internal politics of Greece.” The statement ernment makes pointed of the Greek gov- “the most formal and categorical denial” of The Temps’ article, and goes on to. declare that stories of a wireless station at the Greek roval palace, of Greek aid to German submarines in the Miditerra- nean and of a Greek ambush against the allied marines landed in Greece last December are all false. On the contrary, it is declared, “the roval government has set itseslf scrupulous- Iy to fulfill the engagements sumes towards the powers.” it s OBITUARY. John ber. Middletown, N.
