The lower- chamber of the Greek

Constantlne Sa.t Abdicate.
While It Is believed tbat Paul will
be offered the throne many diffi-
culties regarding the succession may
result from the deat of Alexander.
If the throne la offered to prince
Paul king Constantine must formally
abdicate and prince George older
brother of prince Paul must renounce
his rights.
It Is probable that king Constan-
tine at first will refuse to meet these
conditions but It is understood pre-
mier Venlzelos will produce argu-
ments of some importance.
Constantine's financial status Is
well known and It thought the pre-
mier will agree to restore the former
king's suppressed pension If the terns
are accepted. Only In the event of
Constantine's persistent refusal would
there be a question of ths establish-

The fall of Constantine had been
broug-ht about through the aaency'oi

went to Athena in June 1917. aa a

powers on the ground that this step

had been accused of pro-German sym-

riage to-the princess Sophie sister of
the then emperor William of Ger-
many and it also waa charged that
lie had not acted honorably toward
the allies. Alexander on the other
hand was reported to be free from
pro-German proclivities.
Constantine left Athens and took
up his residence In Swltxertand.
At Odds AVI fa Venlsetes.
Alexander took the ath of of fire it
Athens in Aticrust 1917. and promised
to carry out the policy of hs father.
This was said to have shocked the en-
tente powers. It soon was reported
that he was at odds with premier
VenUeloe and had refused to abandon
his idea of continuing his father?
program. Sotoiv doubts were raised as
to the advisability of permitting him
to assume the throne unless he dis-
continued what was characterized as
an obstructive policy. '
Reports of lack of harmony be-
tween Alexander and Venlzelos were
circulated In the spring of 19S0 but
the premier disposed of these In a
statement In which he paid tribute
to the king's patriotism. One respect
in which the king and his remler
were said to have been at odds was
over the king's morganatic marriage
to Mile sfanos daughter of a former
aide de camp to ltfs father which is
aid to have taken place in November
1919. No record of the marriage was
obtainable owing to the fact that It
