GREEK REVOLT ’
VKNiZVtt OS GAIN'S IN STRENGTH
Civilians ami Military Alike are
Growing Discontented and an Up
rising Is Likely Unless Greece En
ters the War,,
ATHENS, May 16.—An impartial
observer, who has just returned from
a tour of the mainland of Greece, re
ports an amazing spread of sentiment
in favor of Venizelos, the former
premier. The recent effort of the
government to suppress the meeting
of the Venizelos adherents has awak
ened deep resentment among the peo
ple and there is a growing determina
tion to oust the present government
even if it be necessary to resort to
force of arms. ,
It is said that several leaders of
the revolt of 19u9 are actively engag
ed in planning a similar attempt, al
fctough Venizelos deprecates a move
of this kind.
*
King Constantine appears convinc
ed that a majority of the Greek peo
ple approve of the policy of inaction,
and that the growing popularity of
Venizelos is merely a political man
euver.
The Greek soldiers, however, open
ly express their discontent with con
ditions and openly attend the Venize
los demonstrations. Even the officers
of the army, except those in highest
command, are reported to he discon
tented, notwithstanding that an in
crease of pay lias been granted them.
Neutral observers state that pres
ent conditions cannot last sixty days
longer and will undoubtedly end in a
revolution unless Greece enter the
■war on the side of the allies.
