CONSTANTINE TO RESIDE IN DENMARK Executions at Athens May be Avenged by Bereaved A des.patch from Palermo says Former King Constantine and his family have been plunged into deepest grief by the -tragedy of the eix exe- cations at Athens. They were not only the former King's' friends, but in a sense the victims of his policy. Constantine's entourage' here fore- sees the eventual assasernation of Venizelos as a reprisal for the deaths. The five Ministers.' and, one general executed, belongedto old, Grecian families with elannish oonnectio•ns, and these, according to mernbers ef Constantine's suite, will almost cer- tainly attempt to avenge the deaths, and the material rain caused, by the eanfiscation of the fortunes and lands of the men executed. The position of Prince Andrew. of Greece ie also a matter of concern among the royal exiles here. An ap- peal ha,s been made, to the British court for intervention on his behalf. Constantine is now nekotiating the purchase of a home near Backestow, Denmark, and viil probably take up permanent residence there.
