any good. They said I had neural

abscess. I know that my suffering
was terrible and I was in despair
■when I was advised to try Tanlac.
I had heard a lot about it so I start

been simply miraculous. My stom

lining for the pain is entirely gone
now and I can eat potatoes, toma

MAYOR FAVORS"
ANNEXATION
City Commissioners Will
Meet Committee Frohi West
Shore Boroughs '
City commissioners.'while they have
not been officially notified of the an
nexation plan started by the West
Shore Firemen's Union on Tuesday
night, are willing to meet a commit
tee from the "cross-river towns to dis
cuss the question, they said to-day.
Mayor Miller strongly favored the
move which has been started by tho
union and declared that he was sure
the city would rrtake no mistake in
annexing Enola, New Cumberland,
West Fairvlew, Wormleysburg, Le
moyne and Camp Hill. Need of spe
cial legislation giving city power
to take over territory in another
county was pointed out by City So
licitor John E. Fox, and speedy action
is urged if results are to be accom
plished before the Legislature ad
journs.
While City Commissioners Lynch
and Gorgas did not express opinions
on the annexation of the territory,
both declared to-day they would be
willing tp meet with representatives
from the West Shore to go over the
entire plan.
The greatest need for the 'crogs-river
towns is an adequate sewer system,
which can only be built at a large ex
j pense, City Commissioner declared.
The other improvements were consid
ered. however, by the city officials,
who are waiting now for definite ac
tion on the move.
The talk of taking over the West
Shore territory revived the Riverside
and Pleasant View annexations which
have frequently been brought to the
attention of Council. The Riverside
plan came to a Standstill months ago
when the commissioners could not
agree with representatives of the sub
urb on the amounts which should be
allowed for the sewage system now
in use there. It is probable that an
other effort may be made soon for a
j renewal of the conferences.
No Reason For Delay
Every cent of the proceeds of the
i Liberty Loan Bond issue is to be
spent with the American people. It
will be paid to the farmers for food
and other products of their farms,
for clothing, for leather; it will be
paid to the manufacturers of this
country for manufactured products
not only In the way of munitions and
armament, but of all manufactured
products that soldiers and armies
use. That portion of the loan which
is loaned the Allies will be spent and
that part reserved for the American
government will be so spent. In sub
scribing to the Liberty Loan the
American people are lending to their
1 best customer and enabling him to
purchase more liberally from them.
It Is stated on undoubted' authority
that a victorious Germany will de
mand billions of dollars from the
United States as indemnity for . the
damages inflicted by the arms and
munitions furnished by America to
the Entente Allies. The Liberty Loah
Bond Issue is the answer—Billions
for defense but not one cent for in
demnity.
The. Kaiser is waiting to hear from
the Liberty Loan Bond sale. Let the
answer be such that it will be heard
around the world.

—/
Athens, June 13.—The fall of Con
stantine I, King of the Hellenes, has
come. In response to the demand
of the protecting Powers, France,
Great Britain and Russia, he abdi
cated yesterday in favor of his sec
ond son. Prince Alexander.
The climax in the affairs of Greece
was brought about through the agen
cy of the French Senator, M. Jon
nart, who has held posts in several
French Cabinets, and who arrived at
Athens only a day or two ago on
a special mission as the representa
tive of France, Great Britain and
Russia. M. Jonnart had previously
visited Saloniki and other points, and
he lost no time In getting into con
ference with the Greek Premier, Al
exander Zaimis. The demands of
the Powers respecting the abdication
of King Constantine also specifically
eliminated Crown Prince George as
his successor, the Crown Prince be
ing included among those Greeks in
official life who were considered
strongly pro-German.
To Leave Country
Both the former King and Prince
I George, it was announced to-day by
| Premier Zaimis, intend to leave the
country immediately. It is reported
that they will embark on a British
warship and proceed to Switzerland
I byway of Italy.
It is presumed that Prince Alex
j ander will take up his kingly duties
with full acceptance of the ideas
which the protecting Powers desire
to be put into effect in the govern
ment of Greece during the present
war. He is 24 years of age, and
has been free from antientente pro
clivities.
Affairs in Greece, which several
times since the outbreak of the war
had seemed on the verge of a set
tlement, recently have taken on such
an aspect of uncertainty that it be
came necessary for the Powers to
act with decision. M. Jonnart was
selected to proceed to Athens for the
purpose of laying before the Premier
the aims which France. Great Brit
ain and Russia had with respect to
establishing unity of feeling among
the Greeks and greater security for
the entente forces engaged in opera
tions in the East. While he informed
the Premier that troops had been
placed at his disposal, he appealed to
that official to use his influence to
ward a peaceful settlement. The
troops, according to M. Jonnart's in
structions, were not to land until the
King had given his answer.
Nominates Second Son
M. Jonnart called upon Premier
Zaimis Monday morning, and de
manded in the name of the protect
ing Powers the abdication of King
Constantine and the nomination of
his successor to the exclusion of the
Diadoque (Crown Prince).
M. Zaimis declared he recognized
the disinterestedness of the Powers,
whose sole object was to reconstitute
the unity of Greece under the Con
stitution, but he pointed out to M.
Jonnart that a decision could only
be taken by the King after a meet
ing of the Crown Council, composed
of former Premiers.
It was not until 9.30 o'clock yes
terday morning that the Premier
communicated to the commissioner
of the allied Powers the King's an
swer in the following letter:
"The Minister and High Commis
sioner of France, Great Britain and
Russia: Having demanded by your
note of yesterday the abdication of
his Majesty, King Constantine, and
the nomination of his successor, the
undersigned. Premier and Foreign
Minister, has the honor to inform
your excellency that his Majesty, the
King, ever solicitous for the interests
of Greece, has decided to leave the
country with the Prince Royal, and
nominates Prince Alexander as his
successor.
(Signed) "Zaimis."
Believe Greece Will
Now Join the Allies
New York, June 13, "The abdica
tion of King Constantine means the
reunion of a divided Greece. The Sa
lonica Provisional Government and
the Athens Government will now Join
hands, and then Greek democracry
will ally itself with the allies and the
United States in the struggle against
Prussianism and autocracy."
This was the forecast made by an
ex-Deputy of the Greek Parliament
and a recognized leader of the liberal
movement in his country, now in New
York, upon hearing of the passing of
Constantine. Flushed with enthusi
asm and joy. the speaker, who can
not allow his name to be used until
the news has been confirmed bv the
Provisional Government, with which
he Is connected, declared this to be,
one of the happiest days in the his
tory of his people .
"A strong democratlKcurrent will
now manifest itself in tjreece," con
tinued the speaker. "The Greek
masses will regain control of their
Government. Greece will enter the
war on all sides of the allies. The al
lies need the Greek army. Their rear
will henceforth be secure from attack
by pro-German formed and
armed at the instance of the over
thrown monarch.
"The new King, Alexander, is at
heart also pro-German. But his per
sonal sentiments will certainly never
be displayed now, let alone be allowed
to interfere with the nation's poli
cies."
