KING CONSTANTINE'S ILLNESS AND THE EUROPEAN SITUATION s EFFECT ON THE COMING GREEK ELECTIONS. 5 ("Times" and Sydney "Sun" Seriwas.) fc London, June S. The "Times" correspondent at Salonika states that- the operation on King Constantine, and 'his illness, form an important Uc'or in the European situation. While the King is ill. Greek intervention is highly improbable, and action is not likely until after the approaching elections. King Constantine is immensely popular, but Las severely strained his popularity by opposing t.he undoubted wishes of a great majority of his subjects. Sympathy with his illness, however, has more than counterbalanced any loss of loyalty. If the elections were held to-day it would moan that tho triumph of M. b Venizelos (tho ex-Premier) would be sweopinglv complete. In the event of King Constantine's condition being critical immediately prior to the election, r it is iinpossble to say 'how far this might sway an emotional people. 1 GERMAN PRESS LIARS ABROAD.

It is inventing dreadful talos of disasters to ,tho Allies, especially at tho Dardanelles, calculating that if Greece had intervened in April she would already have lost half nor army and nearly alt her fleet, because tho Allies' cowardly cunning would have pushed in Greek troops and ships to bear tho brunt of th« fighting.
