HUNGER IN GREECE
THE EFFECT OF THE BLOCKADE
{Australian - New Zealand Cable Association and Reuter.)
' , ' LONDON, 30th January. sThe Daily Chronicle's Athens correspondent states that the censorship holds up all but colourless news. It is evident that the blockade is being severely felt.. Disturbances have occurred at Patras, where hungry crowds made a demonstration and raided the cafes, smashing the King's portrait, and cried: "Long live the Entente and Venizelos! Down with the tyrants!" The so-called blockade-bread contains only 30 per cent, of white flour, and is in general, use, even in the Royal household. Business is at a standstill. There has heen no European mail since November. It is definitely stated that the Kaiser advised King Constantine to accept the Allies' ultimatum, as Germany was unable to despatch a force to aid Greece.
