King Constantine of Greece has abdicated his throne in favor of his son. Prince Alexander, and with Crown Prince George is to leave Greece. The abdication was made on the CQ demand of the entente powers and c0 thus ends the anomalous situation jn which long has existed in Greece because of the refusal of Constantine and his followers to acqaiesce in full in the demands of the entente allies for the freedom of movement of their ar forces in and through Greece and for m their safety from attack. nt That the entente was prepared to nj move with expedition in bringing a change in the situation in Greece is ^ indicated by the fact that simultaneously with the arrival in that country of the French Senator Jonnart who hora nlf?norw nA\i/m?e fa o/?t for the entente, came the occupation by the Italians of Janina in north- fe western Greece and by other entente ^ forces of Elassoaa in northeastern Greece. hc In the fighting zones the situation < is comparatively calm except on the ^ British front ip France, along the -rgt line held by the French troops jn against the Germans in the region sa running eastward from Soissons into ^,0 Champagne and on several sectors of the Austro-Italian theatre. 8C Sir Douglas Haig'a troops have va again smashed into the German 0f front east and northeast of Messines u] and largely extended the gains previously made in this region. Nearly two miles of trenches were stormed w, and occupied by the British and in n< addition the small village of Gas- \H\ pard, directly east of Messines, was captured.

The urn of $500 will keep a soldier at the ront for a year. It Is believed that when a man realms that his money is put to very eflnlte use in fighting the b&ttlee of he country he will be much more rilling to put up the ready cash. And further than that, every man hould realize that he la not making donation of fifty or a hundred dolirs when he buys a bond.

He can keep the five dollars or ten years and be none the richer; ut if he keeps a Liberty Bond for ten ears, it is working all the time, and ringing in more money for him. And at any time that a man wants o secure ready money for the bond, 11 he has to do is to take it to any rond broker, who will buy it outright, r to a bank and secure a loan equal 0 Che face value of the bond without a moment's delay.
