It is said that King George is preparing to leave Greece.
There has been a bitter feeling against him since the failure of the war. The people declare that the disgrace of the Greek arms was due to the fact that the King officered his army with Court favorites, who had had little or no military experience.
It is stated on good authority that the King is now barricaded in his palace, and that the Powers have been appealed to, to protect him from his people. It is feared that nothing but the presence of foreign warships in the Piræus prevents the people from rising and trying to overthrow the monarchy.
The captains of these ships are under orders to land the men under their command at the first sign of trouble, and join with the police in restoring order.
A special guard of the most trusted citizens has been recruited to help the police in their daily work, and it is hoped that as soon as the keen edge of their disappointment
has worn off the people may return to their old affection for their king.
