GREEK THRONE.

OONSTANTSNE'S IMPENDING RETURN. A POPULAR IDOL. . By Telegraph—ProßS Auvtrttlifui kq4 N.Z. Cable Aifwew-tu*. LONDON, December 8. Neither the British Government nor the Green Legation in London has received confirmation of the report that the Greek Government has asked Constantino to abdicate. Both quarters are sceptical of the truth of the report. Router's TelegfawuATHENS, December. 8. If anarohy is to be avoided in Greece Constantino must return, if only for a time. He is the people's idol, and n .°" thing will siatisfy them but a popular welcomo to the monarch. The solution seems to be his subsequent abdication in favour of the Crown Prince. t The nation is thoroughly with the British, but feeling is bound to change m tho event of continued failure to comprehend the popular mentality. CONST ANTJNES^RO-GERMANISM. DOCUMENTARY ".EVIDENCE. (Received December 9., 8.10 p.m.) LONDON, December 8. It is understood that the British Government is prepared to furnish a mass of documentary evidence to prove Constantine's pro-German complicity if the Greek Government requests proofs. They can also refute Constantine's assertions in the interview at Lucerne. The Aflies possess proof that he was implicated in actual military proceedings, including the massacre of Allied 'troops at Athens. The, evidence can be published the moment the Gov* eminent of Greece asks for it.
