Succeeded June, to 1917, Throne of Greece in When His Father Abdicated in Response to Demand of Powers. Athens. King Alexander, of Greece died here at 5:20 p. m. Monday, Oc tober 25. His death ' was due to wounds received when a pet monkey attacked him early in October, the king being badly mutilated. The death of King Alexander gives rise to the question of succession to tlie Greek throne. Former King Constantine was reported, according to Swiss dispatches of October 17, as intending to take advantage of the situation created by his sons grave illness, ly returning to Greece and claiming the throne. It is probable that the old chamber will be reconvened, owing to the kings death, to consider what steps are to te taken before the new chamber meets. Alexander succeeded to the throne of Greece in June, 1917, when his father, King Constantine, abdicated in response to the demand of France, Great Britain and Russia, the three powers which had guaranteed the constitutional liberties of the Greek people. Alexander was the second son of Constantine and at the time of his accession was not quite 24 years old. His elder brother, Crown Prince George, was considered ineligible for German sympathies. v Alexander took the oath of office at Athens in August, 1917, and promised to carry out the policy of his father. This was said to have shocked the entente powers. It soon was reported that he was at odds with Premier Venizelos and had refused to abandon -- liis idea of continuing his fathers pro- - , . , . ' . , . to the advisability of permitting him to assume the throne unless he discontinued what was characterized as ' an obstructive policy. of of lack harmony between Reports Alexander and Venizelos were circulated in the spring of 1920, but the premier disposed of these in a state-- , ment in which he paid tribute to the kings patrlotism. One respect in which the king and his premier were said to have been at odds was over the . king's morganatic marriage to Mile. Manos, daughter of a former to his father, which is said to have taken place in November, 1919. No record of the marriage was obtainable, owing to the fact that it was not recorded with the metropolitan of Athens, the supreme ecclesiastical authority of Greece. v p . TAFT SPEAKS AT SALT LAKE. Former President Expresses Views to . Utahns. Salt Rake City.

INTERNATIONAL TRU8TEESHIP POSSIBLE WAY OUT OF DISPOSAL OF GERMAN LINES. LORD MAYOR MACSWINEY PASSES AWAY IN ENGLISH PRISON ON , SEVENTY-THIRDAY. IS Would Give All Nations Same Privilege to Unrestricted Cable Service as That Enjoyed By Any One Nation. Began Hunger Strike on August 12, When, With Ten of Hie Associates, He Was Arrested on the Charge of Sedition. Washington. Some form of international trusteeship of the seized German cables may be insisted upon by the United States in the event no equitable distribution of the cables is agreed upon by the delegates to the international communications' conference in session here. Since disposition of the German cables among the five powers requires unanimous consent, officials said Sunday it was possible that no agreement other than an international form of operation might possibly be reached. This, however, had not as yet been proposed by the American commissioners, and it was stated, that it could not be unless it developed that no other agreement was possible. One of the American delegates to the conference confirmed reports that the United States, while not disposed to question Japans title to the island of Yap under a mandate awarded here by the peace conference, would most certainly insist upon the safeguarding of the rights of all nations to important cable communications centering about the island. For this purpose not renounced tall claims. Besides the United States is proposing establishment of certain international which, would give all nations ithe same privileges to unrestricted cable service via Yap as that enjoyed by Japan as the mandatory power. cable Concerning the officials said, the United States had willingness to accept possession of the o cables from Af- - London. Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of Cork, died at Brixton prison Monday morning, October 25, Tollow-in- g a hunger strike of days. The story of the of Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of Cork, probably will become one of the most moving chapter of the centuries-lon- g history of the Irish struggle. No other controversy has stirred Great Britain so deeply as this since the one that centered upon Cecil Rhodes, when the Jameson raid was balked by Paul Kruger and the raiders impris- REPUDIATE SOVIET LABOR AND RADICAL ORGAN!

INDUSTRIAL CRISIS BRIDGED. British Miners Accept Peace Tenders of Premier Lloyd George. London. The threatened sympathetic strikes of the railway men and transport workers in support of the striking coal miners which would have forced virtually all industries of Great Britain to close have been postponed, pending renewed negotiations between thegovernment and the miners. This decision was reached after an conference, Premier Lloyd George having sent a letter to Frank Hodges of the miners union suggesting the meeting. Thereupon the railway men, at the request of the miners, suspended action, so that, in the words of an official statement issued by J. H. Thomas, general secretary of the National Union of Railway Men, every hope of peace might be explored without difficulty being added by a railway strike. all-da- y ALEXANDER OF GREECE seventy-thre- e of Rallwaymen, the Federation of Seamen and the Federation of Harbor Workers. Versailles is confronted by MosThe bankcow, said the manifesto. ruptcy and ruin of the Italian bourgeoisie is evident. Italy emerges from the war as a vassal of the entente, the quantity of bread and coal for our people being diminished daily; the state budget Is disastrously full of debts and Italy is without credit abroad. The situation can be solved revolution only by a proletariat throughout the world. After the magnificent battle of the metal workers, the bourgeoisie feel humiliated and are determined to revenge themselves. - ' The manifesto urges the proletariat to intensify the struggle and to perfect preparations for a revolutionary movement without impulsive action, without impatience, but with promptness and determination. CANDIDATES VIEWS. OUTLINE Preinaugural Address Made by Presidential Nominees. Washington. Two articles which might be termed preinaugural addresses by the rival presidential candidates were made public here Friday. Governor Cox suggests In his article that if elected he will ask congress to reVoke the excess profits tax and to substitute a tax on business turnovers to net approximately two billions of dollars a year. He will also demand readjustment of the personal income tax to lift the burden from the professional and working classes.1 The hope of the country, Senator Harding states, lies in encouraging business and fostering industries so that the burden can be met. This he would do by a reclamation of farm lands, 4i protective tariff and by new commercial! treaties and international trade agreement. The articles were written for The Nations Business, official organ of the chamber of commerce of the United States, in response to a request for their views upon the relations and obligations of government to indus. try. .

Already weak at the trial because of his refusal to take food, MacSwiney, disputed the jurisdiction of the court, saying: I am the lord mayor of this city and its chief magistrate. I declare this court illegal and those taking part in it liable to arrest under the laws of the Irish republic." The day following the trial, Lord Mayor MacSwiney was deported to England aboard a destroyer, under a heavy military escort, and was lodged in Brixton jail." The government announced on August 19 that he was sentenced to two years imprisonment MacSwineys hunger strike brought numerous solicitations and protests to the British authorities, many of the appeals being from sympathizers.
