of Defender of Integrity
of the Balkans.
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. "

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

THE NEW COPN FLAKES
GERMANY'S DREAM
OF CONQUEST GONE
Prisoners in England Relieve
War Will End Through Di- '
plomacy feather Than "
by Brilliant Victory;
L ldon, July 12.-(By Mail.) 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. '

Of Irish Convention
London, July 26. An official report
of the Irish convention given out
last night says:
"After the opening address "by
Chief Secretary. Duke, presiding, a
committee was appointed for the pur
pose of advising the convention on
the selection of a chairman. It wa:
announced that the committee unani
mously recommended the appoint
ment of Sir Horace Plunkett as chair:
man, and Sir Francis Hopewood as
secretary.
"The convention unanimously
adopted the committee's recommenda
tion and adjourned until tomorrow.
Ninety-two delegates were present".-
No press representatives were pres
ent at the convention and the exact
nature of the business discussed is
therefore not known. Horace Plunk
ett. however, is credited with the
suggestion that drafting of the con
stitution should proceed as for Ire-
land, thus leaving Ulster to see what
it is really faced with before it ob
jects. "
Sir Horace Plunkett owns large

made a number of visits to the city.
