Up to the time of the, issuance of Brigadier General Haringtons temporising note. Saturday night, the situation looked exceedingly critical. It is now conceded that his tact and tolerance, coupled with the timely arrival of reinforcements from England, prevented the Turks from striking at Chanak. It is expected the conference which opened Tuesday may drag for Several days, as the Kemalists doubtless will Bargain and baggie over every point. It is felt that the influence of the Italian generals will be an important factor in bringing the meeting to a successful conclusion. The British declare they will insist upon occupying the Asiatic banks of the,. straits even at the peril of failure of the conference.

Detailed Investigation bearing directly on the erection of the blast furnaces of the Columbia Steel corporation in Utah will be started this week D. IT. iWchford, general London. Constantine o f Greece has abdicated as the result of revolution. It has been reported since Tuesday night that Constantine had renounced the Hellenic throne but It was not until Wednesday afternoon that the British government received official confirmation of the rumors. It is understood that Constantine, In his letter of abdication, made no reservations. There are two possibilities open: First a military dictatorship at Athens ; secondly, the ascent of Crown Prince George to the throne. Former Premier Venzilos, the strong man of Greece, who became an exile when Constantine returned to Athens, may return to Athens. The Greek cabinet has resigned. Martial law has been proclaimed. A revolutionary army Is marching upon Athens. The revolutionists demand the protection of Thrace from Turkish occupation. British officials are getting anxious over the part that Russia may play in the Near East. Following the Russian note demanding participation In the Near East peace conference word was received that Russian representative (probably hadad by Leon Trotzky, Soviet war chief), would meet with envoys of the German government at Berlin to n outline a joint for Russia , i The British are willing parUcipatt)ncin,they enice ..sarlexJjnt the French are unalterably opposed to it. Athens was described as a hotbed of excitement with the streets filled with crowds surging to and fro. Constantine gave out news that he was preparing a manifesto asking the people to refrain from bloodshed. Belief is prevalent that a military dictatorship will be established. Talk of the recalling of Former Premier Venizelos is again heard at Athens. According to unofficial advices the revolution started in the Greek navy and spread to the army. Dispatches received here up to noon said the revolutionary movement was making progress. Airmen were said to have joined the rebels, sailing over the Saloniki and other cities in the eastern part of Greece, dropping phamphlets calling upon the people to rise up against Constantine. Official denial that King Constantine of Greece has abdicated was issued by the Greek legation at noon Wednesday. It was admitted that the Greek cabinet had resigned, but was declared that no dispatches had been received that could be construed as confirming the rumor that Constantine had resigned in favor of Prince Russo-Germa- Manufacturers Lead In Stock Returns Washington.

Physicians and Facisti from the surrounding villages as well as hundreds of the peasantry hurried to the scene of the explosion as soon as they had recovered from the panic w hich it had caused. First observations revealed no trace of any survivors and reports that the entire garrison had been killed were circulated. The first few hours of rescue work dispelled the theory. Seventy bodies Hunso far have been recovered. dreds of wounded are in the hospitals and this leaves only a comparatively small number unaccounted for. Hospitals are being taxed to capacity to care for the victims and all the available military in this section is engaged in rescue work. The explosion came while a heavy Some peasstorm was in progress. ants were in the fields trying to protect their crops from the violence of the elements and it is from these that the story of the blast has been obtained. The lightning, they say, had been particularly heavy in the vicinity of the elevated fbrtress and its freakish pyrotechnics attracted the attention of the field workers. Suddenly an unusually sharp flash was noticed. An instant later a blast shook the country side for miles. It stunned the watchers in the fields. When they discovered possession of their senses they found that only a scattered heap of earth smoking debris covered place which the lofty fortress bad occupied. The hill was leveled. The government is making' every effort to relieve the population of the explosion district as the people have become helplessly panic stricken as the result of the destruction which the lightning caused.

Advices from Athens quoted members of the Greek revolutionary committee as saying that the Thracian front was being strengthened and that the chiefs of the new Greek government were in duty bound to the nation to defend Thrace. London. The anxiety of the British cabinet over the Near East situation was heightened Friday by new s that the Russian soviet government is recognizing and strengthening its southern army with the possibility of joining tlie Turks. The British cabinet is meeting daily to consider war It is reported that the govplans. ernment has placed tentative orders for war materials, mostly munitions. Most of the British officials have little faith in Mustapha Kemal Iasha. They suspect he is delaying his reply to the allies peace note for the purpose of gaining time to strengthen forces around the allied neutral zone on the Turkish straits. Russia has not taken any military steps in the Near East, said Rothe-steiSo long as Russia is invited to the Near East peace conference and there is no interference with Russian trade we do not think Constantinople worth the blood of a single Russian soldier.

The supreme court of the United States reconvened Tuesday for the regular fall term with a crowded docket. When the court adjourned last June it had pending 437 cases, and during the recess the number was increased to 650. None of the new cases, unless advanced, will be reached for argument for two years. Upon reassembling the court inducted into office George Sutherland, former senator of Utah, nominated during the recess to fill the vacancy upon the bench caused by the resignation of Associate Justice Clarke. The formality included the administration by the chief justice of the judicial oath. Tlfen, after receiving motions for admission to the bar, the court proceeded to the White House to pay its customary visit of respect to the president. No decision will be rendered or orders issued by the court during tha first week upon any cases held under advisement or on motions of reher-ing- s submitted during the recess. Early in the new- - term, however, the opinion of the court may be expected in five cases argued at the last term. These included original cases brought separately by the states of Ohio and Pennsylvania to prevent West Vir. ginia from restricting the exportation of natural gas, and by Oklahoma for the location of the Texas boundary. In the latter case all issues have been settled by opinions of the court except that of the physical location of the boundary line. The other cases which has in hand are those brought by the Chicago & Northwestern Railway company against Nye Schneider-Fowle- r company, involving the constitutionality of the Nebraska statute fixing the order of responsibility of railroads for damages suffered by shipments, and the Wichita Railway and Light company against the public utilities commission of Kansas and others, testing the power of state commissions to fix rates notwithstanding provisions of existing contracts. The docket has been cleared of antitrust cases of national importance, blit tlie court has been petitioned to grunt reliarings in some of those disposed of at the last term, including the Southern Pacific, which the court ordered to divest itself of ow nership and control of the Central Pacific, and the Coronado Coal case, in which reconsideration 1ms been asked of the question of the liability of certain unions of the UniteiUMine Workers of America and individuals of treble damages of the destruction of property. on tlie ground that it was incident to a conspiracy to restaiu interstate commerce. The courtli lias also been asked to grant rehearings in the case brought by the Baltimore club of the defunct Federal baseball league against baseball clubs operating under tlie national agreement, in which the court held that professional baseball as played in the major league does not constitute interstate commerece ; in several cases against the emergency fleet corporation, fixing its suability and status as a federal agency, and in the Laramie river case, in which prioiity of appropriation was applied as controlling water rights in interstate streams in arid regions. liam and!
