OF COMMONS,

--------LATER

In the House of Commons, Mr. Asquith moved a resolution of "con- dolenes with King Constantine, the the people of Government, and Greece; also with King Gecrgo and Queet Alexandra. In doing so the Premier said the world was shocked by another purposeless crime inflict- ng hereuveinent and sorrow upon millions of mankind. It was especi ally pathetic that the King was struck down when seeing the realisa- tion of some cherished hopes, and had no reason to fear violence from is subjects. Mr. Asquith concluded that Britain had speciul reasons, for acting herself in the grief of the

Greek nation.

Mr. Bonar Law concurred in the Premier's remarks.
