30 SEPTEMBER 1916, Page 1

We have written fully elsewhere of the grave crisis which

has overtaken Greece owing to the aimed incredibly mistaken policy which has been pursued at Athens. The source and origin of the

,hole trouble has been the denial to the Greek people of that constitutional government which was guaranteed to them by the_ Protecting Powers. Now it has become necessary for M. Venizelos to try to save the situation by -what is in form; but -certainly. not in spirit or in essence, a revolutionary. move. He is the Cromwell ef the situation. The latest news as we write on:Thursday is that certain ships of the Greek Navy have joined the revolt. This was only to be expected after the adhesion of Admiral Condouriotis to the Venizelist cause. It is reported that high officers in the Army have also joined the National movement, and every .day fresh garrisons go over to the cause. In short, we have high hopes that even now the King and his camarilla of bad advisers will change their policy, and Grew:01.7in be saved, as every Englishmansincerely I lopes she may be.
