30 SEPTEMBER 1922, Page 1

The revolution broke out in Chios and Mitylene, where there

were great aggregations of broken soldiers and refugees. On Tuesday aeroplanes flew over Athens, dropping revolutionary pamphlets signed on behalf of the Army and Navy. A conver- gent revolution also began at Salonica, where there is, as might have been expected, much hot-headed talk about fighting the Turks in Thrace. The King's decree of abdication was uncon- ditionaL The new Government resigned. The army has called upon the Crown Prince, who, it will be remembered, was passed over at the last abdication of his father to become King. The leader of the revolution is General Papoulas, who has established his headquarters at Laurium, on the coast, about ten miles from Athens.
