Constantinople, Sept. 27.—(By the A. P.)—Possible war between Great Brijtain and Turkey was at least temporarily averted this afternoon by an eleventh hour deciaration of the Kemalists that they would respect the neutrality of the #traits, pending an armistice conference. The declaration relleves the situation, which even the British had admitted was eritical. In a message to Kemal Pasha at Smyrna, General Harington urged an #arly meeting of the British and Kem-. alists generals at Mudania or Ismid as the most effective way of reaching an amicablé understanding in the present difficult uation created by the Kem- #list advance in the Dardanelles, 5 The message, which was most con- piliatory in tone, declared it would be ® pity at the present juncture to allow eceupations. on the straits to jeopadize Peace. Prior to announcement that the Kem- mlists would respect the neutrality of the straits, Hamid Bey, the Angora rep- resentative, sald to the correspondent “The Kemalists naturally will come Mcross the so-called neueral zones, but they have not slightest intention of fir- ing upon the British occupying those vones. If, however, the British move egainst us, we will be forced to reply.” General Harington replied to Kemal Pasha thanking him for the declaration the he would respect the neutrality of the straits and that he wished to avold a conflict. The British commander add- ed that the destruction of which Kemal complaibed was prompted by military necessity and declared that no shot had been fired against the Turks in anger por would he except under his orders. He conciuded by expressing readiness to meet Kemal at any convenient place to @izcuss and understanding. IWN FPRINCE GEORGE CREW OF GREEK BATTLESHIP MUTINIED AT CONSTANTINOPLE Constantinople, Sept.. 27 (By -the A. P.)—The erew of the Greek battieshir Averoff mutinied today and left Con- stantinople for an unknown destination. The commander of the vessel was ashoru to "bid ‘farewell to Brigadier General Harington, when later he attempted to board the Averoff by means of a pri- vate launch the sailors hurled mssiles at him. 3 The vessel sailed at noon today. Pre- viously the aliied diplomats had stated that the presence of the Aweroff in Con- stantinople impaired -the - prospects of reace. SHOTS WERE FIRED IN THE STREETS OF ATHENS Athens, Sept. 27.—The battieship Lem- nos has sent radio messages to the en- tire navy asking for adherence to ths revolution. It is reported that the Lemnos arrived at Piraeus, the seaport of Athens, this morning and is stopping all’ ships carrying officers and troops; these are being forced to join the revo- lutionary - movement. Bhots were fired in the streets 'n Athens at 11 o'clock this morning. About 100 officers of the army and police pa- raded through the Place de la Constitu- tion, shouting *Lemg live the king. They were surroundid by several tram- cars filled with civilians, who raised the same cry.

His first reign began March GREEK THRONE 18, 1913, with the assassination of his tather, George I, and continued until June, 1917, when he was forced by the demands of Great Mritain, Fdance and Russia to abdicate because of his pro- German sympathies. He was succeeded by his second son, Alexander, who was dominated by the deposed monarch and who had promised to carry Constantine’s policies, despite allied demands to the contrary. For three stormy years Alexander reigned in name onl. Then his traglc death in 1920, due to the bite of o pet monkey again turned the epotlinght on Constantine, who had spent the- interveming fthree years in exile with his large family. A plebiscite had shown that the Greek pation was fnsistent upon the return of Constantine to the throne, and while, the allied governments continued to -exert awery préssure at their command to pre- went his re-ascension the former king marched triumphantly into Athens and was crowned in Tecember, 1920, amid sennes of the wildest enthusiasm. Constantine was born August 3, 1868, wnd obtained his education under Ger- man tutors and army ofticers. ‘Once, in 1503, he wes dismissed as commander of the Greek army because of popular oiamor against him: but he becams a raticnal hero in the Belkan war of 19132, when he fed a Gresk army .in th cap- ture of £al | from the Turks.

The revo- lutfonists, he ‘says, seem less hostile to Comstantine than patriots opposed to former Premler Gounaris, Many of them ‘are Vereelists, but a considerable proportion are royalists, who are deter- mined to obtain the support of the allies even at the sacrifice of the king. Importance is laid on the immediate recognition of the crown prince as George I by the allies, it being feared that if the recognition is refused or de- Iayed the republican elements, which ars threatening to take ti most extreme action, may increase in strength, It appears certain, the correspondent deciares, that -the revolutionists a3 prepared to resist' to the utmost any Turkish ~ attemp .to oocupy - eastern ‘Thrace, .
