Title
Vox Populi Suprema Lex
Description
"The Kaiser. "Don't bother about your people, Tino. People only have to applaud what we say".
On 5 October 1915 M. Venizelos obtained for his policy a majority of thirty in the Greek chamber our of a House of 244, but was forced to resign by King Constantine, who dismissed him from office. As in the case of Bulgaria, whose people felt gratitude towards Russia, so popular sympathy so popular sympathy in Greece was strongly pro-French and pro British, while the monarch, the Court party, and the Higher Command were Germanophil. The cartoon, dated 15 October 1915, satirizes the Kaiser's contempt for the idealists who maintain "Vox Populi Suprema Lex".
