CONSIDERING ABDICATING AND GOING TO GER- MANY TO LIVE, The German Press Expects Zaimis to Declare War at Any Time -- The Allies' Note Is Called An Ultimat- am, 4 London, Sept, 5.--The entrance of Greece into the world war is only a matter of days. Her neutrality isa thing of the past. A new dictator has arisen. No longer her King, or Venizelos, her dominant politician, hag any word: to say. Alexander Zalmis, who holds the portfolio of Premier, has seized the reins of pow- er, " . Greece has surrendered utterly to the ultimatum of France and Great Britain that her mails and telegraph lines be handed over to Allied supervision and that all Ger- man and Austrian agents be expelled from the country. Already French and British officials are taking con- "trol of the postal and wire systems. Greatest - Crop In Years. The seizure of power by(Zaimis is one of the greatest political crops accomplished in years. His entire hand has been played beneath the table and it is only now that the na- tion is awakening to the fact that its fate rests in his hands. Zaimis holds the most complete power. He can do what he will without Parliamentary questioning or the embarrassments of public opinion, Zalmis made the first public move in his well-planned campaign on last Wednesday. At that time he issued a decree forbidding a contem- plated political gathering by the people. Two days later he disposed of any danger of parliamentary in- terference through the issuance of a decree dissolving the national body. Parliament had been adjourned and elections will mow be hecessary be- fore a new Parliament ean sit. ' Then began a series of conferen- ces with the Venezelists and anti- Veneselists as a-result of which Zaimis siié¢eeded Tn obtaining de- clarations of approval and support from both parties. He thereby gained from his cabinet the complex- fon of a representative body, ap- proved by all factions, King Plahs To Abdicate. That King Constantine is serious- \ly considering abdication, in. the Made of recent events is indicated in an Athens despatch: to the Daily Telegraph. Although denying re- \ ports that last week he had threat- ened to quit his throne, the monarch said: "I want it to be understood that on the day when the Greeks no long- er want me I shall retire with my family to Germany." \ Zalmis is expected hourly to de- clare war by the German press. The Vossische Zeitung, according to despatches from Amsterdam warns the public to be ready for a declaration of hostilities by Greece. This German paper declares that the "Allies' note was really an ultima- tum," BASEBALL ON MONDAY, ° National League. Philadelphia, 2-10; Brooklyn, 1-3. Boston, 3-3; New York, 2-8.
