(An Athens dispatch timed 12:10 yesterday said Crown Prince George would take the oath dur ing the afternoon. Nothing later was received to ahow that this program was carried out.) There is no word as to the whereabouts -of Constantine. Both Athens and Saloniki are reported to be quiet and under control of revolutionaries. It is too early to estimate the direction the revolution is taking but in au thoritative circles it is looked up on as tending to support former Premier Venizelos. v Want A Republic. Athens, Sept. 27. (By The As sociated Press.) It is reported that a section of the revolutionary army is imbued with the idea of a republic and that the accession of King George may be accom panied by many difficulties. , An impressive pro-Venizelist demonstration occured in the city tonight. Thousands of persons, including some of the troops, pa raded the streets singing and ac claiming Venizelos and waving nortraits of the former premier.

General Papoulas had previously treat with the rev- Deeu ecu i. nintinnists. but, finding his en treaties unavailing, joined their cause himself.

UNDERPAID Fair Exhibits To Remain In Place Until Last Minute Playing to the fair .weather prorated for the end of the week to give thousands of people who have been kept away by the rain an opportunity to view the ex hibits of the state fair in their en tirety, the members of the fair board this morning announced that the rule prohibiting exhibitor from removing exhibits, or any portion of an exhibit from the dis play spaces before Saturday nlgm would be enforced to the letter. In past years late comers have found many of the exhibits prac tically dismantled when they ar rived on Friday and Saturday, and the exhibitors busy packing up. "This year there is to be none of that," said one member of the board this morning. "When the exhibitors place their exhibits here they do it with the understanding that the exhibit is to remain in place and be kept up throughout the entire week. And we are go ing to see to it that they do this. They have got plenty of time to pack up and get away after the fair closes Saturday nignt." To further strengthen the at tractions for the end of the week it was announced today that the racing card for Saturday afternoon would be doubled. This is to be accomplished by running the two races scheduled for Tuesday aft ernoon that were called off on ac count of rain. As it now stands the Saturday afternoon racing card will include four harness races as follows: 2.24 pace, purse $600; 2:16 trot, purse $600; free for all trot, purse $600; free for all pace, purse $600. Unless more rain falls between now and Saturday afternoon the Lone Oak track will be in prime condition, and it is predicted that the battle for the $2400 in purse money will be the stellar card of the week's racing program.

John P Tiernan, Notre Dame law pro fessor, his wife and baby "Billy," whose father Mrs. Tiernan says is Harry Poulin, haberdasher of South Bend, Ind., had returned to South Bend today after a futile effort to persuade Dr. Albert Abrams, California scientist, to make a private blood test in sup port of Tiernan's claim that he is not the father of his wife's third child. With a decision expected Satur day from Judge Ducomb in the pa ternity suit at. South Bend, Dr. Abrams refused to make the test privately, or on Tiernan alone without instructions from the court. Poulin had refused to sub mit to the blood test, which has a legal status in California. Regardless of Judge Ducomb's decision, if it frees Poulin of the charge, Professor Tiernan said he would contiiue his efforts to prove his former friend, the haberdasher, is "Billy's" father. While here. Professor Tiernan explained the impulse which im pelled him to question publicly the paternity of bis wife s third child It was an impulse based on a fer vent belief in the "single stand ard," he said. "I submitted my wife and my self to the ugly glare of publicity solely that justice might be done," he said. "The time has come when man must stand on the same mor al plane with woman." 260 Students Poisoned Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 28.

Abdication of King Alters British Policy Likely to Fight Turks' With Greeks. London, Sept. 28. (By The As sociated Press.)

A third meeting ot the cabinet will be held this eve ning London, Sept. 28. (By Associ ated Press.) The abdication of King Constantine of Greece, mak ing again possible cooperation be tween Prime Minister Lloyd George and Ex-Premier Venizelos, may cause a lightning change in Great Britain's policy toward the Turks, according to well informed circles here today. It is asserted that a possible new conjunction of these two for mer co-workers is the explanation of th studied attitude ot pessim ism which since yesterday has been radiating from No. 10 Down ing street, where today much ap- prehehsion was expressed regard ing possible warlike acts of the Turks near Chanak. Work With Venizelos. With Constantine out of the way, it is said there will be once more a chance of reorganizing the best forces of Greece under Veni zelos, whose Cretan soldiers were the backbone of the army until Constantine replaced the officers with his own sympathizers, "espe cially with generals untrained and unexperienced in the gr,eat wars. It Is pointed out that the pres ent revolutionists in Greece are reported to be not only pro-Veni zelist, but pro-ally, and further that they are men who believe heart and soul in the greater Greece. It is not believed that they will yield Thrace, at least to the Turks, without a struggle. Army to Aid British. With a reasonable sized Greek army of 20,000 or 30,000 men in Thrace or else at the disposition of the British leaders now at Cha nak or Constantinople it is not doubted among military observers familiar with the stiuation that an entirely new phase ot the whole Near East situation is neing- ap proached.
