London, Sept. 25. — The Greek revolu- tion, which was a military and naval coup. seems to have been carrled out with surprising swiftness and completeness. Information regarding Constantine is meager, but one report had it that he was a prisoner of the revolutionists. The crown prince succeeds to the throne, while the victorlous troops with their leaders at thelr head marched triumph- into Athens, which, pending the mation of a new government, fe in the hands of a military dictatorship in the shape of a triumvirate council of generals.

P.)—ARhough there are X half a million Greeks with Venibellst sympathies in Constantinople, the day passed quietl Animated groups on the street corners and In the cafes discussed the fate of Constantine and the probable complex- fon of the mext government. Some.ex- pressed the hope that a republic wouid succeed the monarchy, with Venizelos as aresident ; others favored the appoint- ment of a regent, while a surprinsingly ‘mw advocated the ascendency of Prince Seorge. 4 As 5060 a5 the first news of the over- #row of the king was received here sxcited crowds clamored at the news- paper pffices seeking confirmation. Amer- icam and ailied circles wondered what ef- foct the event would have on the peace pourpariors and the situation in Thrace, some professing the foresee a moderating Flag Took 20,000 Refugees “And how about Venizelos. He has a personal aversion to me. But men con- ducting great affuirs must stifie per- sonal considerations and work together for the common good. 1t the Greclan people want Venizelos; if they elect him to parliament and he becomes chlef of the predominant party, I see no reason why he should not become premier, Un- der our constitutional system, I would have to build upon him, and I would do 0. But Venizelos must recognize the existing government and the existing regime. Would the great American de- mocracy want at the head of its cabinot a man who did not recognize its con- stitution or its existing regime.” The interview then deals with inter- nal conditions which have largely been superseded by later events. “I have always admired America” the king went on, “and have always had the ambition to visit there. Who knows? Perhaps some day. ‘I cannot understand why America has not recognized me. America is a democracy, and the people of Greeco at a plebiscite summoned mo to come back as king. It is the voice of the people, which America loves so much to listen to. I have some impres- sion that America’s recognition of me has something to do with the Buropean powers recognizing President Obregon of Mexico. The European powers say thac it the United States recognizes me, the§ in turn will recognize Obregon. It is either that or some other way around. There is some connection anyway.” On leaving tge correspondent zaid: “To sum up, your majesty, you propose to remain as long as the people want you." That's it replied King Constantine with his pleasant smile, “as Bernard Shaw would say Tll. stay until I'm spoofed.’ ™ ATHENS JLLUMINATED IN HONOR OF NEW KING Atheps, Sept. 27.° (By the A.
