CONSTANTINE SOLVES CABINET PUZZLE
BY APPOINTING A NEW MAN
International News Servica.
ATI1KNS, Sept. 16. -The dlmenn
in which King Constantine Inis founil
himself in the matter of securing a
new cabinet was solved by the ruler
today by the appointment of M. Oalo
geropoules to the position of prime
minister of the realm.
It is authoritatively stated that the
king has hen in a quandary since
the proposal of Seamais that lie ap
point former Premier Venizelos to
head the cabinet. It develops that
although Seamais was not adverse to
returning to his post of office pending
the construction of a new cabinet,
• he was disinclined to stay there and
Immediately suggested to the king
that he call upon Venizelos to assume
ihe task of selecting a new ministry.!
Owing to what is said to be a decid
ed fear of the former cabinet head,
Constantine refused the suggestion
and immediately set about Ihe task
of finding a sucessor for ihe unwilling
Seamais.
M. Calogeropoules, the new ap
pointee is a strong conservative and
an acknowledged leader of the peace
party, Constantine's fear that the
country may he drawn into the war
is saiil to be behind his selection.
Throughout the kingdom today, the
aewspapers are insisting that the gov
eminent make a demand upon the Ger
man authorities for the release of the
troops of the Fourth army division
who have been interned by order of
tile Berlin government.
The seizure of the Greek troops
after their surender to the Bulgarians
has brought about an immense in
crease of ill feeling against the Teu
tons and the incident may yet be
come the principal reason for a break
with the central powers.
The I’ictorial edition of the Nugget
will cover every form of mining and
depict by means of illustrations every
thing of interest on Seward peninsula.
