On Thursday news reached London of the resignation of the
Greek Ministry, but up to the time of our going to press no clear indications of the effect of this new development had been received. It is plain, however, that the revolutionary movement in Greece is making rapid headway. Every day we read of fresh adhesions to the cause, and officers are quietly slipping away from Athens to join the National Defence forces. It is true that there have been demonstra- tions against M. 'Venizelos in several parts of Greece by reservists who declare that they do not want war, but these rather emphasize than detract from the reality of the revolutionary success. Crete has gone over bodily to the Provisional Government, of which there are three heads—M. Venizelos, Admiral Condouriotis, and General Danglis. A Proclamation has been issued by the Provisional Government pointing out that the King, guided by had counsellors, is (we quote from the Times)" alienating Greece from her traditional friends and delivering her .over to her traditional enemies." " To- day," the Proclamation goes on, " Greece, once strong and glorious, lies dying, an object of pity to her friends and the plaything of her enemies. Her only hope is by the direct and independent action of those who believe that if she does not march with her natural allies she is doomed."
