On Monday the Greek Parliament was adjourned for a month

by Royal Decree. The King has left Athens for his convalescence. M. Venezelos at a meeting of his supporters declared that the Government were ignoring the sovereignty of public opinion, and prolonging their life by hiding behind the prerogatives of the Crown. It was a delusion to suppose, however, that he or his supporters would embarrass the King. When the King recovered he would undoubtedly end the present abnormal situation. N. Zographos, the Foreign Minister, who apparently disapproved of the action of the Government, has resigned. At another meeting of the Liberal Party M. Venezelos said that the ill-treatment of Greeks by Turkey could not much longer be met by diplomatic protests.
