The destruction of two Greek ships by German submarines outside

the Piraeus-has not caused 6 flutter of agitation in Royalist hearts at Athens. The explanation of this complaisance is that the vessels were taking Verizelists to join thcrArnryof theNational Government at galonika. King Constantine's Government, however, have taken precautions to protect the German and Bulgarian Legations from attack by anti-German. crowds. And they have even thought it worth while to 'sanction a, statement that the ships were sunk by badly placed French mines. This kind of thing -deceives no one. A house has been raided by the Allies near the Piraeus, and was found to be a headquarters for supplying German submarines. Some tight Greek ships of war have been seized by Admiral du Fournat, after the Athens Government had refused to hand them over voluntarily.
