A Til IONS, Sept. 30.—In proclaiming a provisional govern
ment in the island of Crete yesterda>vfonner Premier Venizelos
of Greece and Admiral Concoriates, commander-in-chief of the
entire Greek fleet, joined in issuing a proclamation, which calls
on the people of Greece to “range themselves on the side of the
Allies and Serbians to expel foreign invaders from Greece and
to re-establish the government on a foundation of national uni
ty.” The island of Mytilene has also joined in the revolt move
ment, and it is expected that other Greek provinces will later
^■ome over to the revolutionists. The purpose of the revolution,
, is asserted, is tin* overthrow of the kingdom of Constantine,
the weak and vacillating monarch, and the establishment of a
republic under the presidency of Venizelos.
The revolutionary movement is what caused the king and
the Greek ministry to decide to join the Allied powers. The sit
uation is complicated, but it is believed that the people of
Greece, in large majority, will join the Venizelos movement,
which means the forced abdication of King Constantine. The
admiral of the navy has joined the revolt and it is now known
that the action of the Greek navy in joining the Allied fleets
was a part of the revolutionary move.
