Two Greeks of ex-King Constantine's party tried to murder M.

Venizelos at the Lyons railway station in Paris on Thursday week. The would-be assassins, named Tserapis and Kyrikis, fired on the Premier and hit him twice. Fortunately his wounds proved to be slight, and he is rapidly recovering. His assailants had come from Germany, where, it is said, the ex-King's supporters are planning an insurrection in Greece.
