GEE PASSES
nun'
ATHENS. Nov. 1. — The upheaval
In public affairs which Greece has
passed through in the istet few months
is now officially designated as “the
revolution," and it will doubtless go
down in the records of the European
war as the Greek Revolution of 1917.
Premier Venizelos gave an indication
of this in repeatedly referring to “the
revolution” in his address to parlia
ment.
While it has been a peaceful and
largely a bloodless revolution, yet to
the Greeks, it has revolutionized their
political system almost as much as
the Russian upheaval has affected the
Russians.
The abdication of King Constantine
and the crown prince on an ultimatum
o* the protecting powers, France, Eng
land and'Russia, backed by a military
and naval demonstration; the setting
up of a new king and the recall of Ve
. n.zelos to direct the central govern
ment at Athens after he had set up
a separate provisional government at
Onloniki. the complete reversal of
policy toward the European war by
Greece joining the entente allies; and
finally, the complete disappearance of
royalist control of public affairs, and
the re-establishment of a government
based on the control of responsible
cabinet ministers — these summarize
some of the outstanding features of
what is now designated as the Greek
revolution.
M. Venizelos, in a recent statement
summed up some of the general pur
poses the revolution had in view as
follows:
“In participating in the world wai
at the s*de of the democratic states
in a veritable holy war against the
Imperialistic pretensions of Germany.” I
he said, "we will not only succeed in
reconquering our national territory
from our traditional enemies. Turkey
and Bulgaria, now ranged with Ger
many. We will not only succeed in re
establishing our national honor, cloud
ed by the failure of the ex-king to
defend Serbia in accordance with our
treaty obligations. We will not only
defend our national interests at the
coming peace congress, and assure
our national future. We will become,
also, an honored member of the fam
ily of liberal states which will con
stitute the Aragress of peace.”
> The parliamentary session now go- ■
ing on is defining what the revolution
has accomplished. This is being done
by the presentation of the diplomatic
negotiations through all the troubled
period, with notable speeches by Ve
nlzelos and the minister of foreign af
fairs, on the chief points of accusation
against the government, which was
compelled to abdicate. Foremost in
this accusation is the desertion by
Greece of Serbia and the complete dis
regard of the Serbo-Grecian treaty:
and the surrender to Bulgaria of the
Greek Fort Kupal and other strategic
points, in accordance with an under
standing with the German authorities,
according to the charge of M. Veni
zelos and M. Folitis.
The parliamentary discussion is
soon to be followed by a lively cam
paign all over the country to secure
united approval for general mobiliza
tion. Among the peasant classes there
is said to be much apathy over getting
into the war, and the speeches of Veni
zelos are considered as a supreme ap
peal to the nation to accept the results
of the revolution and to do its part in
prosecuting the war as one of the
entente allies. It Is one of the peculi
arities of the war that although Greece
is officially declared to be in the war,
| yet there is no general mobilization of
I the Greek army. This is due largely
i to the dual governments existing
j through the last year, with parts of
i armies under each government.
One of these, the Vetjlzelist provls-.
rmal force, organized a'. Saloniko, Is |
n effective force of tkree divisions
f 60,000 men. This haf now become
he nucleus of the new trmy, with an
ither 60,000 men to be, aided from the
lasses of 1916 and If) 7, and the gen
■ral mobilization brjiglng the force
ip to its full war 9 rength of 300,000
nen. It Is to realize these military
dans thgt Venizelos is now making
ds appeals first to parliament and
hen to the country, the keynote of all
hese appeals being that the revolu
Ion is a success and now calls for the
intted support of the people in prose
uting the war.
While a revolution in the govern- r
ment system has been going 6n there''
Is little outward evidence of change
In the social and economic conditions
of the country. There is none of the
disorder,'which usually accompanies
revolutions, and life goes on In tne
cities and towns about the same as
usual. Martial law prevails and squads
of soldiers do provost duty through
the streets. But the general public
is unconcerned; the streets are crowd
ed as usual, the theatres and restau
rants do a thriving business.
