On Sunday, April 14, 1924, a popular vote | taken in Greece to decide whether the country should remain a monarchy or change the form of government to that of a republic. The people by a large majority voted in favor of the change. This action was forecast when the national assembly in Athens on March 24 declared the Gluecksburg dynasty ended. On the following day the same body declared Greece a republic subject to approval by the people at a plebiscite, which was held with the result stated. Greece in the early part of the world war was neutral owing to the pro-German sympathy of King Constantine. The statesman Eleutherios Venizelos and his friends stood with the allies and finally on July 2. 1917, Greece declared war on Germany. Nine days later King Constantine fled to Switzerland. He was succeeded on the throne by his second son, Alexander, who died Oct. 25, 1920, In December of the same year Constantine. after an election which favored his restoration, resumed the throne. Engaging in a disastrous war with Turkey, he lost his popularity and in September, 1922, following bloodless revolution, abdicated in favor of his oldest son, who took the title of George II. Constantine died in Palermo Jan. 11, 1923. The reign of King George II. was short. a There was a growing feeling of animosity toward the Gluecksburg dynasty and the sentiment in favor of a republic increased. Venizelos, who had fled from Greece when Constantine returned to power, made his home in Paris though repeatedly urged to return to Athens. The feeling against the dynasty came to a head Dec. 17, 1923, when the national assembly ordered King George and his family to leave Athens. The formal order of expulsion was signed by Premier Gonatas and Col. Plastiras, leaders of the military revolt in September. 1922. The king and queen left Dec. 19 and took refuge in Bukharest, Roumania. Admiral Koundouriotis was appointed regent. Venizelos arrived in Athens Jan. 3. 1924. and two days later was elected president of the national assembly. Jan. 11 he became premier, but remained in office only until Feb. 4, when he and his cabinet resigned, Venizelos was succeeded by M. Kafandaris, who in turn resigned on Feb. 25 after a dispute over the form of government to be adopted. Kafandaris was succeeded by Alexander Papanastasiou, who was premier when the plebiscite was taken. Even before he resigned Venizelos suffered a breakdown in his health and was compelled to withdraw entirely from active politics. Smith, Harry A. ARMY AND CORPS AREAS. First Army.
