The flag would have been dishonored had we withheld

King Constantine, of Greece, hag abdicated his throne, in
favor of his son. Prince Alexander, and with Crown Prln'd
George is to leave Greece
The abdication was made on the demand of the entente
powers and thus ends th« anomalous situation which long has
existed in Greece because of the refusal of Constantine and his
followers to acquiesce in full in the demands of the entente
allies for the freedom of movement of their forces in- afid
through Greece and for tkir safety from attack.
That the entente w*» prepared to move with expedition
bringing a change in tie situation in Greece is indicated by
the fact that simultaneomly with the arrival in that country
of the French Senator Jonsart. who bore plenary powers to act
for the entente, came the occupation by the Italians in North-
