(The German CROWN PRINCE and Ex-King CONSTANTINE.) Crown Prince.

The Emperor was invited to come to Rome, that from thence, like Justinian and Constantine, in former days, he might give laws to the world.

Even the donative of Constantine to the Roman bishop Silvester was declared to be a pitiable fiction.

He was one of the first who had sprung into the breach at Constantine.

He showed great bravery at Constantine; at Zaatcha he extricated Herbillon, and the siege, badly begun by Herbillon, had been brought to a successful termination by him.

Miss Donne was very fond of Edmund Lushington, the writer, but the Primadonna had a distinct weakness for Constantine Logotheti, the Greek financier who lived in Paris, and who wore too many rubies and diamonds.

The wars of Cyrus and Alexander represent the passion of military glory; those of Marius, Sylla, Pompey, and Caesar, the desire of political aggrandizement; those of Constantine and Theodosius, the desire for political unity and the necessity of self-defence.

Constantius and his son Constantine the Great vainly strove, even after the death of the brave Carausius, to regain possession of the country; but they were forced to leave the new inhabitants in quiet possession of their conquest.

Eleven hundred years after this, a Roman emperor named Constantine decided that he liked Byzantium better than Rome.

The king of Greece, Constantine, as has been explained, is a brother-in-law of the German Kaiser and has always been friendly to Germany.

King Constantine, while on a visit to Berlin, stood up at a banquet and told the Kaiser and the German generals that the fine work of the Greek soldiers in the two wars just fought had been due to help which he had received from German military men.

King Constantine notified the Allied governments that if these troops retreated upon Greek soil he would send his army to surround them and hold them as prisoners for the rest of the war.

Constantine allowed German submarines to use certain ports in Greece as bases of supply from which they got their oil and provisions.

Shortly after this the commander of a Greek army corps in eastern Macedonia, acting under orders from King Constantine, surrendered his men to the Germans, along with all their artillery, stores, and the equipment which had been furnished to them by the French to defend themselves against the Germans!

The governments of France, England, and Italy felt that they could stand the treacherous conduct of King Constantine no longer.

The oldest son, the crown prince, having been educated in Germany and sharing King Constantine’s pro-German sentiments, was barred from succeeding his father.

Constantine had allowed his sympathies with his wife’s brother to prevent his country from carrying out her solemn treaty; had ruled like an absolute monarch; had plotted with all his power for the overthrow of Russia, France, and England, the three countries which had won Greece its independence in the first place and which still desired its people to have the right to rule themselves.

With Constantine out of the way, there was nothing to prevent the return to Athens of Venizelos.

All the time, too, he had to keep a watchful eye on King Constantine, lest the latter launch the Greek army in a treacherous attack on his rear.

Would King Constantine have been justified in holding as prisoners the French and British troops who were driven back upon Greek soil?

Constantine, prince in Crete; king of Greece.

Venizelos, prime minister of Greece; comes from Crete; opposes King Constantine; once more prime minister.

He tried to be, at one and the same time, Caesar, Augustus, and Constantine.

[Footnote 22: The reference here is to the luminous cross which Constantine said he saw in the heavens, and which influenced him to embrace Christianity.

When Rome was the seat of empire, Constantine heard them in his churches.
