KING OF
GREECE
FORCED
TO QUIT
Constantine, at Demand of
France, England and Rus
sia, Abdicates in Favor of
His Second Son, Prince
Alexander
(BY THE UNITED PRESS.)
London.—The allies’ military occu
pation of Greece* is only temporary,
until a real constitutional govern
ment can be restored there and all
elements harmonized. Emphasis was
laid on this fact here today with the
suggestion that with such a resto
retion Greece could be expected to
play her proper part in the war.
So far as indicated here, the fur
ther steps at restoration of popular
government in Greece wilL include
exile of all of the former king’s mili
tary' staff, the super-royalists who
joined with Constantine in thwart
ing the will of the Greek people.
Officials and the public alike re
garded the allies’ course toward Con
stantine as a further step in meeting
the desires of the United States and
Russia for a further indication of
democratization of the world. Mili
tary experts also hailed the action
with relief because with Constantine
and his German schemes forever
banned, a dangerous situation to the
allies, armies in Macedonia and Sa
lonika has been remedied.
Alexander Now King.
London.—Prince Alexander is now
kina of Greece.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Bonar
Law announced in the House of Com
mons late today that the second son
of the deposed King Constantine had
formally taken the oath of monarch
at Athens.
Constantine to Switzerland.
Paris. —Ex-King Constantine of
Greece is going to Switserland in hig
exile, according to news today from
Athens.
(BY THE UNITED PRESS.)
Athens. —Greece's change of kings has
been effected with a minimum of wrench
to the nation. A few agitators last night
made speeches in the streets but other
wise there was no disorder. King Con
stantine's formal abdication in favor of
his second son, Prince Alexander, ap
peared to meet with general approval of
his countrymen.
Conditions in Greece have been in
creasingly grave during the last few
weeks. The nation has been suffering
greatly for months on account of the
allied blockade and increasing strength
has been shown by the Venizelean pro
visional government, due to Constantine’s
policies and his tenacious pro-Germanism
In the face of an overwhelming pro-ally
sentiment among his people.
Little Surprise.
Parle. —Little surprise was occasioned
Jn the Greek capital by King Constan
tine's enforced abdication, according to
Athens dispatches received here today.
Only a crowd of the curious and a few
idlers remained in the vicinity of the,
palace.
King Constantine himself urged that
there be no disorder and asked his body
guards and a crowd of 2,000 royalists
who had assembled at the palace to ac
quiesce in his decision.
(BY THE UNITED -PRESS.)
London.—One more king has paid
forfeit with his crown for his support
of the divine right of monarchs to do
as they please. Constantine I. king of
Greece, was forced to abdicate because
he had lost the support of his people
and brought his nation almost to ruin
through insistence that Greece join
with German intrigue. His successor,
the second son of the monarch, is
Prince Alexander, liberal-minded, not
subject to the intense pro-Germanism
of his royal father and acceptable to
the allies.
Despatches from Athens today de
clared the change in rulers had been
effected with an utter absence of dis
order. Demands voiced on behalf of
the allies by M. .Tonnart, a French
senator and special envoy to Athens,
that Constantine step down were ac
quiesced in by that monarch without
more than formal protestation. He re
fused to permit his partisans to fight
against the allies' ultimatum that he
resign.
Expect Entry Into War Soon.
Early entry of Greece into the war
on the side of the allies is now expect
ed. Prince Alexander, the new ruler,
who presumambly will take over the
reins of government at once, is known
as a pro-ally.
Until Greece can arrange her own
affairs France will aid in the admin
istration of her internal problems, par
ticularly that of furnishing the coun
try with food. Food has been under
blockade by the allien since last fall.
Constantine—(Tino) to the kaiser,
according to his famous Christmas
message to Queen Sophia, sister to the
German ruler, is no longer to be per
mitted to live in Greece., according to
the terms with which the allies de
manded his abdication. He must re
main in exile and it was expected to
day that eventually he would# go to
Germany. Early departure of the king
and queen on a war ship is expected.
Restoration of Unity.
First of the problems to be faced In
the change of rulers of Greece, Is the
restoration of unity among the Greek
people and of adequate measures to
provide for complete revictualing and
distribution. French forces are already
landed In Greece to aid In this work.
Secondly, comes the future of former
premier Eleutherlos Venlxelos, now
head of a Greek provisional revolu
tionary government established at Sa
lonika. Venizelos had received support
of the Greek people thrice at the polls
in his demand for Greece's benevolent
neutrality toward the allies, but the
king thwarted this expression of the
popular will. Then Venlrelos organiz

“THE ONE PAPER IN MOST HOMES—THE ONLY PAPER IN MANY HOMES
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 13, 1917.
FOR U. S.
CONTROL
PRINT
PAPER
Pooling of Production of All
American and Canadian Mills
Recommended During the
War Distribution By
Government.
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREBS.)
Washington.—Pooling of news print,
paper production and importation under
a government agency for distribution to
publishers at a price providing a fair
profit to manufacturers was recommend
ed today by the federal trade commission
In a report on its Investigation of the
paper industry conducted during the last
year. The commission also suggested
that the government seek to induce Can
adian authorities to establish a similar
agency to co-operate with the Amer
ican pool.
$35,000,000 Increase.
In a letter transmitting the report to
the senate which ordered the investiga
tion the commission asked emergency
legislation to make the recommendations
effective. It declared that if the 1916
consumption r>f 1,775.000 tons of print pa
per is equalled this year, the cost to
consumers will be $105,000,000, an in
crease of $35,000,000 over 1916, and that
one-half of this Increase represents addi
tional profits to manufacturers.
The voluntary agreement arranged with
manufacturers several- months ago for
distribution of paper to publishers at
moderate prices was abandoned, the com
mission reported, and the plan failed
because no government authority for en
forcement existed. The situation is seri
ous and likely to reach a panic state In
a few months because of lack of suffi
cient competition among producers, said
the commission.
A preliminary report was presented
March 3, the letter accompanying the
final report today said:
Arbitration Failed.
“The efforts of the commission to re
store competitive conditions in the news
print Industry expeditiously and to arbi
trate and effectively project a fair price
for news print paper have failed.
“Thd plan failed for several reasons, ’
.the prtnchpa) reason being that the ar
rangement was voluntary add the com
missicfn had no power or warrant under
the law to make it effective. The manu
facturers signatory to the agreement no
tified the commission that they would
not proceed under such arbitration agree
ment. The result has been that news
print paper has been billed and sold at
the same exorbitant prices that obtained
in many instances theretofore.
“The news, print paper situation is very
serious, not only to the consumers of
paper, but to the public generally and
to the government of the United States
which is itself a large consumer of pa
per. The commission has reason to be
lieve that this situation will be still more
aggravated and serious in the ensuing
months. The demand for news print pa
per is constantly increasing and gives
promise of still greater Increase with the
continuance of the war. The supply of
news print paper available to, meet this
demand is dependent upon mills already
in existence.
Demand Increasing.
“It seems probable, therefore, that with
the demand for news print paper in
creasing and the supply remaining con
stant, or possibly diminishing, there will
be a repetition of the panic market of

AGREE ON DRASTIC
FOOD-LIQUOR BILL,
ID EMERGENCY
Would Prohibit Use of Non
perishable Products During
the War. Also Empower Presi
dent to Commandeer All
Spirits in Bond.
Washington.—A drastic "food con
servation" bill, prohibiting the use of
any non-perishable food products in
the manufacture of malt, spirituous or
vinous liquors during the war, was
agreed to ljy the senate agricultural
committee today.
At the same time it t»as voted by a
large majority to empower the presi
dent “at such time as he may deem it
essentjil to conserve the food or feed
supplies of the country.”
A provision is to prohibit the use
of perishable food or feed products in
the manufacture of intoxicants of any
kind.
A further provision empowers the
president to commandeer any or all
spirits in bond when they are needed
to meet government requirements for
munitions manufacture, and military
and hospital supplies.
As a War Emergency.
The t>J 11 will be pressed at this ses
sion of congress “as a war emergency”
measure, apart from the food pro
duction and food control bills already
drafted.
If passed by congress It will pre
vent further manufacture of distilled
spirits, wines and beers of all kinds
for beverage purposes.
Owing to the fact that it is bound
to precipitate a violent fight on the
floor of both houses It was decided to
make it a separate “food conserva
tion bill,” thus eliminating danger of
Its blocking passage of the food con
trol bill which the president wishes
passed as quickly as possible.

(BY THE UNITED PRESS t
Boulogne, Francs —Cheering thousands,
some mo'ved to tears, welcomed to French

army which America is to send to Join

democracy.
The soldier-appearing figure of Major
General John J. Pershing, garbed in the
business-like khaki of the American
army, was acclaimed as France has sel
dom acclaimed another in all her his
tory. Frenzied crowds packed the streets
to shout their Joy and wave the tri
color of France with the same three
colors of the Star Spangled Banner.
Only a Starter.
Pershing arrived at 9:40 this morning.
He had made a quick and an uneventful
trip over from England. France has
been waiting eagerly for him to step on
her soil. The tremendous reception ac
corded here to the commander of the
American army will bo but a marker to
that which Paris is preparing for five
o’clock this afternoon, when Pershing
and his staff arrive at the Gare du Nora.
Pershing was deeply moved by the
greeting he received.
“I consider this one of tne most im
portant moments In American history,”*
he said. “Our arrival on French soil,
constituting rh we do the advance guard
of an American army, makes us realize
to the fullest the importance of America's
participation. -
“Our Share—Great or Small.*'
“Our reception h&a moved ye deeply.
I can only reaffirm that America has en
tered the war with the intention of per

general's ewarmed off the
vessel and mixed Joyously with the crowd
at the railway station.
To a Common Purpose.
There were, British Tommies there to
welcome their new brothers In arms—and
French pollus as well. Hundreds of
handshakings and embraces marked the
meeting of these representatives of three
great armies, now pledged to a common
purpose. The crowns thrilled at the spec
tacle of the khaki groups of three as
they marched arm in arm.
The Americans were trying out their
French or swapping slang with the Tom
mies and the pollus were proudly ex
hibiting their English words in return,
while the Britishers tried to compress
Into a few minutes' conservation some
of the fighting lore they had learned at
the front. It was hard work for the
Amerlcon non-coma to leave their new
found friends and board the train.
The British Tommies wero part of
those aboard several big British troop
ships discharging their human cargoes
at the time the Americans arrived.
Early Alive.
Boulogne harbor was alive early in the
morning awaiting the arrival of the Am
