The correspondent at Salonikl of Reuter'8 Telegram Com pany, under date of Wednesday, sends a report that Kin? Constantlne, of Greece, has abdicated, addingr: "Pending confirmation it must be mentioned with all reserve." The correspondent says the report Is that the King has abdicated, that the Greek Crown Prince has been ap pointed regent and that Alexander Zaimis, supported by ex-Premier Venl lelos, retains the premiership. This dispatch adds that the general mobilization of the Greek army has once more been ordered. Dispatches Doubly Censored. Ward Price, to whom the foregoing dispatch is credited. Is the official Brit ish press representative designated by the government to act for all British publications in that area. Neverthe less, his dispatches are subject not only to the Greek censorship but to the French military censorship, which controls all lines of communication from Athens The fact that both cen sorships, as well as the British censor ship In London, have permitted this dispatch to come through is significant. Oh Tuesday Mr. Price aenf from Saloniki a report that King Constan tlne had fled from Athens to Larissa. This dispatch was discredited in Lon don official circles. Secret Departure Possible. Doubt also appeared to be cast on Its correctness by dispatches filed from Athens Wednesday, one of them telling of coming meetings between the Kins and the entente ministers, and others having to do with the Illness of the King, who recently underwent a slight operation. It Is possible, however, that the King may have departed secretly from Athens, as reported by Mr. Price, and" that his absence was concealed from the newspaper correspondents there. Crown Prince George, of Greece, whose accession to the throne Is re ported, has been described as a man of liberal mind, in true sympathy with the aspirations of the Greek people. It has been assumed that If the King's policy of non-interference Ira the war should lead to his disappearance from power the pro-entente party would turn to the Crown Prince. Prince George was bom In 1890. He is unmarried. His engagement to Prin cess' Elizabeth, of Roumania, was an nounced In 1914, but because of the war the marriage was postponed. IKE HANDICAPS ARMY ORGANIZATION HAMPERED BY OR DERS TO KETl'RX WORTH. Friday' War Moves UNOFFICIAL dispatches reaching London, which apparently have been much censored, indicate that Greece has abandoned her neutrality and thrown her lot on the side of the entente allies. Whether Greece has al ready declared war is problematical. as la the nation or nations to whom she has thrown down the gauntlet. It is reported that King Constantlne of Greece has abdicated and that the Crown Prince has been named as his successor with ex-Premier Veni- zelos as the power behind the throne. The British Foreign Office says It has no confirmation of the King s abdlca' tion. An entente fleet of 23 warships and seven transports Is reported off Pi raeus, the port of Athens. A dispatch from Athens says it is probable that the Greek elections, set for October 8 will be postponed for a fortnight. Illinois and Missouri Infantry Mean while Set Out for Home and Other Regiments Prepare to Go. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Sept. 1. Hope, ased on the day's developments In the trlka situation, that there might be no strike, and that the sending north ward of guardsmen would cease while most of the recalled troops still were on the border was expressed at South- rn Department headquarters tonight. Military men said that the organiza tion of the Army into provincial di visions would be handicapped by the loss of the 15,000 men recalled by the War Department, but that the work could Quickly be resumed It the north ward movement ends. Meanwhile one regiment of the First Illinois Brigade, the First, with regi mental headquarters and brigade head quarters, under command of General Jack Foster, left Ban Antonio for its tate mobilization camp, and the Third Missouri Infantry set out from Laredo. Also the Quartermaster's Department went ahead with plans for dispatching from the border the other regiments ordered north. General Funston announced that he had ordered the entire Arizona National Guard to concentrate at Fort Huachuca. west of Bisbee. The guard, constituting much less than a regiment, has been split up and stationed at the Roose velt dam and other points doing guard duty. It Is being concentrated so that it can gain adequate practice. The Greek garrison at Salonikl, at Vodena and at Little Karaburun have surrendered to a committee which has taken over the administration of part of Greek Macedonia, according to die patches from Salonikl. The revolt In Salonikl is confirmed by the British Foreign Office. Greeks, friendly to the entente, surrounded the barracks of the Greek Infantry in Saloniki and are said to have exchanged shots with them General Sarrail, allied commander at Saloniki, intervened to prevent further bloodshed. Petrograd reports fighting in Vol- hynia and in Galicia. The Russians also have seized a series of heights in the Carpathians and are moving west ward along the Roumanian border of Bukowina. Petrograd asserts the cap ture of about 16,000 prisoners. The withdrawal of Austro-German lines south of the Zlota-Lipa-Dniester section Is recorded by Berlin. Progress -by the Russians west of Tarnopol is admitted, but Russian attacks in the Carpathians and near Lutsk were re pulsed, Berlin said. Italian troops have occupied Tepel ni, Albania. Rome says two villages were stormed and that prisoners were taken in the fighting along the Voyusa. Germany reports the reoccupation of lost ground near Longueval and Del ville wood on the Somme front. Lon don admits a German advance. On the rest of the front In France there has been little activity. Petrograd claims the repulse Turkish attacks west of Erztngan and west of Ognott In Turkish Armenia.

Exchange rates between this market and Germany to day fell to the lowest quotations sine the outbreak of the war, the value of four marks, normally worth f 1, declln ing to 6 cents, or a discount of more than 30 per cent. Declaration of open hostilities be tween Germany and Italy and Bouma nla's injection into the conflict served to depreciate German exchanges at thi center. - Si PRESCESS ELIZABETH.

The beginning of a revolution In Macedonia is reported In h. Reuter dispatch- filed' yesterday at Saloniki. Fighting occurred in Saloniki, the correspondent adds, but serious trouble was prevented by the Intervention, of soldiers of the entente allies. "The revolution claimed its first vic tims at 4:30 o'clock this mornmg," the correspondent cables. "Cretan gen darmes and Macedonian volunteers surrounded the barracks of the Greek infantry in Saloniki and exchanged shots with the garrison. But for the intervention of the allies the conse quences might have been more seri ous. Pro-Ally Troops Fall In Effort. "After half-promising to participate in a demonstration arranged yesterday by a pro-ally committee, the Greek troops finally refused. During the ight pro-ally volunteers made a deter mined attempt to seize the barracks ut failed. It is asserted one gen arme was killed and two wounded. The losses of the Allies have not been etermined. Before the Greek garrison at Salon- ki surrendered, Reuter's correspondent ables, more than two battalions ot Crench colonial infantry marched to the parade ground and stacked arms n front of the barracks. Machine guns were posted and armored cars were tationed opposite the entrance to the barracks. The Greek soldiers withdrew within the building. Greek officers crossed the parade ground to a pavilion in which General Sarrail awaited them! As the hour of 11 Btruck all the Greek troops marched from the barracks. Volunteers Surround Regulars, Further details of the disturbance In Salonikl are given in a later dispatch to Reuter's Telegram Company, which said that when the volunteers ascer tained the regulars were unwilling to co-operate with them, they surrounded the barracks In the night, cut the water main and electric light wires and shut off food supplies. A detachment of 60 . regulars at tempted to break its way out to ob tain supplies. Its surrender was de manded and when the regulars refused the volunteers fired shots in the air.

Altogether, according to the latest reports, three men were killed, and one gendarme and two vol unteers were wounded. Soldiers Accept Mediation. The soldiers refused to treat with the revolutionists but accepted allied mediation. It was agreed that the soldiers should be disarmed and in terned at Camp Zeitinlek, outside the city. The officers were permitted to retain their swords, pledging .them selves not to interfere with the revo Iutionists. The barracks were turned over to the French. It is understood several officers and a considerable proportion of the men sympathizing with the revolutionary movement will now Join it. It is also reported that the entire garrison at Vodena went over to a committee representing the revolution lets. The garrison at Fort Little Kara burun refused to recognise the coin mittee, whereupon revolutionists sur rounded the fort. After news had been received of the submission of the Sa lonlkl garrison the regulars at Little Karaburun yielded. All opposition to the revolutionary committee In the affected portion of Macedonia appears to have vanished. The committee will now take over the functions of government and is ex pected to proclaim a general mobiliza tion. Prompt action by the French com mander, who detailed a strong escort to protect the Salonikl garrison and marched it through the streets in the afternoon has had the effect of clear ing the atmosphere. It Is reported from Greek sources at Saloniki that the entire force of 3000 men under Colonel Chrlstodulos, which left Seres several days ago to resist the Bulgarian Invasion of Mace donia, has been captured by the Bui garians.
