IS BEHIND KING Monarch Has Kept Greece Out of War is General Belief of Peo- ple of Athens. VENIZELOS IS LOSING PRESTIGE ATHENS, Thursday, Oct. 7.—(Via Paris, Oct. 8,)—General sentiment in Athens seems to be that King Con- stantine has saved Greeco from & war in which the policy of former Premier Yenizelos would have brought the country. The king, therefore, In the opinion of promi- nent Greeks, has gained additional prestige, while the political strength of the ex-premlier has suffered a cor- responding loss. Position of C PARIS, Oct. 8.~The supporters of For- mer Premier Venizelos, who constitute a majority in the Greek chamber, it has been learned on high authority, says a | Havas dispateh from Athens, will not oppose the mew ministry so that added | complications may be avoided at & criti- | oal pe dod. Overthrow of the Zaimis cablnet would involve the dissolution of the chamber, which is considered ex- tremely hasardous as the Greek consti- tution does not permit fixing a date for elections during mobllization of the army. What purport to be details of the his- toric interview between King Constantine and Eleutherios Venizelos, which resulted in the latter's resignation as prime min- | ister of Greece, are printed In the Greek Journal Kalrol. After agreeing to mobfiization as & pre- caution involving no change of policy, the king asked the premier what was the object of the oconcentration of such a strong army on the Macedonian frontier, M. Venizelos answeored that the object was two-fold—first to defend the coun- try and, second—to go to the ald of Ber- bia In case it were attacked by Bulgaria. The king then remarked that he agreed with Venizelos so far as defending the country was concerned, but could not see that Greece was called upon to help Ser- bla. The premier recalled the obligations imposed upon Greece by ita treaty of alllance, but Constantine retorted that when Greece asked Serbla’s ald against turkey in May, 1914, it was refused. Premier Contradiots W et To further arguments on the part of Veniselos the king repiled that the pre- mier was contradicting himself, for when | the allled powers asked Greece to assist Serbla at the time of the Austrian attack Venizelos made a promise of such assist- ance conditioned upon the armed co-op- eration of Roumania and the benevolent neutrality of Bulgarin. These conditions ! not having been pledged, the king pointed out, he refused to join Serble at a time when the Austrian forces arrayed aguinst 1t A1d not exceed 150,000 ahd Bulgaria was ," added the king, “the Aus. tro-Germang are 500,000, to whom must be #dded 30,000 Bulearians, and the retreat of the R s prevents the Roumanians from doing anything for Serbia.” M.
