The Greek minister at London and the Greek consuls con-suls at London and Manchester have resigned, re-signed, stating that they -were unable to further Identify themselves with the policy of King Constantine. PARIS. Dec. 4, 4:40 p. m. A dispatch to the Temps from Athens, dated Monday, Mon-day, says: "The city has become calm, but armed bands of reservists still are moving about the streets. King Constantine and the members of the royal family are at the palace." I LONDON, Dec. 4, 5:12 p. m. The British Brit-ish government has prohibited the sailing sail-ing of Greek steamers from British to Greek ports. A Paris dispatch yesterday announced that an embargo had been placed on all Greek shipping- In French and other ports of the entente allies in consequence of the recent events in Athens. LONDON, Dec. 4, 3:38 p. m. The statement was made In the house of commons com-mons today by Lord Robert Cecil, war trade minister, that King Constantine and his government were involved deeply in the situation which has arisen at Athens and that the entente allies would take immediate im-mediate measures to obtain a solution of the difficulty. Lord Robert's announcement announce-ment has given satisfaction in London, where the greatest anxiety has prevailed since receipt of the news that the allied detachments had withdrawn from the Greek capital after Friday's fighting. The feeling against King Constantine, who is charged with having done everything every-thing possible to embarrass the allies, has been growing here and demands that some steps be taken to check his activities have become more insistent. Some circles have credited the govemmetn with protecting pro-tecting him because of his relationship to members of the British and Russian royal houses. This suggestion was Introduced into the debate in the house of commons by Arthur Lynch, Nationalist, who sarcastically sar-castically asked Lord Robert Cecil: "Will the right honorable gentleman give the house assurances that no matter what occurs the dynasty will be preserved pre-served ?" No answer was returned. An unfavorable impression has been created also by the report that King Constantine Con-stantine had recalled all his pro-German advisers to Athens, and, while the news has been rather meager, there has been a tendency to believe the allies have suffered suf-fered a rebuff.
