The Greek general elections have resulted in a victory for
the Venezelist party, which desires intervention in the war.
In the new Chamber there are one hundred and ninety Venezeliats and ninety-three supporters of the present Government. The remainder is composed of ReMika, Inde- pendents, and Theotokists. In Macedonia the Government won moat of the elections—a sign that the Macedonian people have not dared to break loose from their old timid habit of voting as they are required. It does not seem likely that in a democratic country like Greece the Government will be able long to resist the will of the great majority. On the other hand, there is much concern at the King's grave illness, and there will be a disposition not to force matters in a way disquieting to him. Since the Balkan War he has been extraordinarily popular.
