. EARLY INTERVENTION IMPROBABLE:

London, Juno 8

"The TimesV correspondent at Salonika states that the operation on King Oonstantinej and-his illness, form an important factor in the European situation. While the King is ill, Greek intervention in highly'improbable, and action is not likely until after the approaching elections. -King Constantino is immensely popular, but has severely strained his popularity by opposing tho undoubted wish of a great majority' of his subjects. Sympathy with him in his illness, however, has more than coun-ter-balanced any loss of loyalty.

If tho elections were hekl to-day it. would moan that tho triumph of M. VcneKelos would be sweepingTy complete. Jn the event of King Constantino's condition being critical inimediate}y_prior to the election, it is im-possible-to say how far this might, sway an emotional people.

Tho German Press Bureau is extraordinarily active throughout Greece. 15 is inventing dreadful tales of disasters to tho Allies, especially at tho Dardanelles, calculating that if Greece had intervened in April she would already have lost'half her nrmy and nearly all her fleet, because tho-Allies' cowardly cunning would have rushed in Greek .troops'-and,ship's .to'bear the brunt of the fighting.
