Athens, Tuesday, July 26. On. the eve of the assembling of parliament rremier venizeios received a corre spondent of the Associated , Press and made the followinsr statement: "The, reassembling of parliament, which in ' " dismissed' by - the- arbi trary action of Constantine, is the for mal resumption of democratic gov ernment and the rule of the people in line with the ideals and principles of which the United States gives a con spicuous example. No longer have we a royal autocrat ruling by thie divine right of kings and not respon sible t6 the people but rather a con stitutional monarchy, in which au thority is exercised within strict limits., "We look to the United States for continuance of powerful support' in working out our own destinies. Greece is now aligned wtih the en tente allies. Relations with the. ten. traL. powers have been broken and. a state of war now actually exists, ss Greek troops are fighting against the central powers in. Macedonia. 1 A formal .declaration of war was made by-the' provisional government, and it'is unnecessary to renew it. "The increase df the Greek army and co-operation with Serbia will restore the Balkan -forces to their proper role of defenders of the in tegrifyof the Balkans. 'Prance and the other orotecting powers re leav ing us s free hand and all the allies recognize Greece's position as a sov erelgn and independent nation. " . Purpose of Balkan Conference. ; Paris, July 26."There must be no confusion in today's Balkan confer ence with -that proposed by Russia for the revision of war aims," says the Journal Des Debats, discussing the session which opened yesterday. "If any such Question were to be under discussion the United States, which would have much to say. would not .have been content to send only an admiral to the deliberations, the newspaper adds. The journal Des Debats lays great stress on examining the new situa tion created by Greece's changed at titude, including the new military sit uation due to Greece's army of 200.- 000 and new methods of provisioning Greece, which are largely an affair of tonnage, introducing naval prob lems that account for Admiral Sims' presence.

Ger: many's dream of world conquest has been shattered and the belief among all classes there now is that the. war must end -through diplomacy rather than by a brilliant victory, accord ing to the German prisoners in Eng land. A representative of the Associated Press, who has just returned here after a visit to the large internment camps at Dorchester, where approxi mately 1,900 German prisoners are quartered, is enabled to present many interesting side lights on the German viewpoint as represented by men of all types who have fought with the German forces on land and sea and in the air, - ; Germany Will Hold Out. These may be summarized as fol lows: Germany having held out thus far, it is prepared to hold out to the end. The economic situation in Germany is not as bad as it has been repre sented either by the belligerent or, neutral press. , - .' Contrary to reports there is no visible shortage of materials actually needed for the prosecution of the war. America's entry into the war will prolong, rather than shorten the war. The United States being essentially a commercial nation it cannot make its great man power felt soon enough to change the course of events. The submarines are doing all thst was ex pected of them. , : W..- A young German airman, who was brought down recently off Dover, seemed to express the view of the more intelligent class of prisoners by asserting there had been "so many declarations of war" against Germany, that when the United States came m that any more did not matter. Three Prussian youths who were taken prisoners by the British in the recent- Messines push were believed to have represented the attitude of the peasant classes when they as serted that they did not even know the United States had entered, the war. A tall, distinguished looking fellow who had. been a prisoner since the battle of the Marne and who said he was iormerly a lawyer' in Bavaria expressed the belief that the war would undoubtedly result in giving the German pedple a more democratic form of government. He doubted, however, whether any attempt to re move the emperor would succeed. Prisoners Are' Contented. The remarkable training of the Germans is shown in the discipline maintained at the Dorchester prison camp. Although more than 20,000 prisoner have been interned there since the war started, only two have attempted to escape. Almost without exception the Germans say they are contented with their surroundings and are well treated. ; Perhaps the one thing "that im presses an 'American most Jfo : the spirit of sympathy which seems to exist between the British officials and their German charges, which is not shown so much in their military salu tations as by the care the one has taken not to contribute any more than is necessary to the discomfort of the fltlier, whilu the prisoner him self smilingly accepts his lot one infinitely better than that of hist for mer, comrades- in arms.
