Third Member or Triumvirate at
Head of Provisional Government
Named ; Kins Summons Lead
er ot Pro-War Deputies.
ATHENS! via London. Oct. 1. Tho
Official Gazette of the provisional gov
rrnment publishes a decree signed by
M. Venlzeloa- and Vice-Admiral Coun
dourlotis, "by virtue of the power
vested in them by the popular decree
of September 26," naming General
Panyotl Danglis. ex-Minister of War,
as the third member of the "triumvirate
heading the provisional "government.
The island of Tenedos has joined in
the revolutionary iveiient.
THENS. Sept. 30,' via London, Oct. 1.
It is expected that the proposed ses
sion of the Crown Council at which a
decision regarding the entrance of
Greece into war may be reached will bo
held today.
Rioting is reported on the Greek
island of Zante between reservists and
followers of former Premier Venlzeloa,
ATHENS, Sept. 28, via London, Oot.
1. (Delayed by censor.) King Con-
stantine is somewhat concerned as to
the possible attitude of the Chamber
of Deputies, which under the constitu
tion must be reconvened in event of
war. The deputies are likely to refuse
war credits and to decline to accept a
war ministry.
King Calls In Pro-War Leader.
The king today called to the palace
Nicholas Stratos. leader of the new
Royalist pro-war party, and charged
him with the responsibility of swing
ing the deputies into line for war. M.
Stratos already has obtafhed the ad
herence of 25 former supporters of M.
Gounarls, and is beginning to emerge
from the present crisis as the most
capable political figure in Greece, after
venizelos.
The crown council has been post
poned, owing to the numerous confer
ences being held between the king and
the cabinet ministers, as well as army
and naval officers. It is announced
that the negotiations between Greece
and the entente are progressing satis
factor! ly at London and Paris.
In view of the propitious nature of
these negotiations, it is regarded as
unlikely that the king will declare war
or even issue a decree of mobilization
before Monday, if even at that time,
although several classes of reserves
have been informally called out for
"exercises."
; Decision Expected Monday.
trhoei elose to-the king are confident
he-will telegraph his decision conaern-.
Ing war to King George, Emperor
Nicholas ana President Poincaire Mon
day. Once the king's decision has been
reached, it is expected a national cab
inet will be formed. In consultation
with the British minister. M. Venizelos
probably will have a portfolio if he
desires. It is predicted that M. Kalo
geropoulos will remain premier and
minister of finance, with M. Stratos as
war minister; M. Carapanos, the pres
ent foreign minister, or M. Coromilas,
GSeek. minister at Rome, as head of
the department of foreign affairs, and
with three supporters of M. Venizelos
in the cabinet.
General Moschopoulos, chief of the
general staff, asked King Constantino
to grant him leave of absence for 45
days. The king assented. General Gen
nadis probably will replace General
Moschopou los.
