We despair of being able to give any very intelligible

or coherent account of the Greek crisis, for as we write no definite conclusion has been come to. M. Zaimis, the Premier, resigned at the beginning of the week, and though many attempts have been made to shake his purpose, they have not been successful. The latest news on Thursday shows that M. Dimitrakopoulos has been asked to form a Cabinet. The action of Greece must still be described as curious. Cynical or worldly-wise it certainly is not. Apparently the power of the serpent to paralyse by fascination continues even after the serpent has been removed. One can only think of the Cheshire Cat which faded away till nothing was left but a grin.
