RAY CANNON Forming New Union of Baseball Players HINT AT POLICY CHANGE Revolutionary Troops, Entering Ath- ena, Received With Great Enthusiasm. Throwing Infantry Units in Semi- circle Around Chanak Military Area. Athens.—With a new King—George II—and a revolutionary committee composed of three generals in control of affairs Greece's first effort under the new regime will be to prevent the return of Thrace to the Turks. Revolutionary leaders announce their Intention of going to Thrace to organ- ize a strong defense as soon as the in- stallation of the new government has been fully effected. The revolt is tak- ing on an intensely patriotic charac- ter, and the retention of Thrace is the central aim of the Insurgents. A cabinet member is reported to have been killed, but the revolution has apparently been completed with little bloodshed. Frequent demonstration acclaiming former Premier Venizelos are being held. One regiment of revolutionary troops has occupied the more impor- tant buildings and is attempting to preserve order throughout the city. The affairs of government are being administered by three revolutionary genernls. This revolutionary commit- tee promptly requested the df^sed Constantine, Sophia, his consort, and Princes Andrew and Nicholas to leave the country. They have also asked Venizelos, who is in France, to assume. management of the Greek national question abroad. The new ruler of Greece bore the title of Duke of Sparta before beinu sworn in. He is thirty-two years old, 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs more \ban 266 pounds. Constantinople. — Mustapha Keimil poured his legions into the neutral zone in defiance of the ultimatum of the Allies. The Sultan pulled a new wrinkle when he handed his resignation to the cabinet. The Grand Vizier quickly told Hnmid Bey, who telegraphed Ke- rn al. He received a reply to instruct the cabinet not to^accept the resigna- tion, but to guard the situation closely. Kemal notified Sir Charles Harring- ton, British commander-in-ehief, that he did not recognize the neutral zone of the Dardanelles. Contantinople is menaced by the lat- est move of the Turks. The Kemalist representative here states that Chanak is partly occupied by Kemalists and partly by the Brit- ish.. He declares that when the for- mer commenced to enter the zone the latter began firing from the village, but when they were convinced the Turks were not attacking they agreed to Join the occupation. It is reported that General Harrington will depart >for Smyrna to confer wfth Kemnl. The population Is more panicky than ever as the reports of the advance of the Turks poured in. Authorities here are doing their ut- most to prevent an uprising of the Moslem population. • The Turks have taken up positions at many points, Including the resion around Erenkenl, Sirtepe Hill, Lap- haki, Righfl and Karnblgha. The Brit- ish and Turk troops freely move among each other at thesf points, cre- ating the danger of serious Incidents. Ray Cannon, attorney and former baseball player of Milwaukee, Wis., is bringing forth plans for a new union— namely, one for baseball players. He hopes it will be Recognized by the American Federation of Labor. TO PASS BRITISH Intend to Enter Thrace, Says Spokesman, but Would Avoid War With England. Constantinople.—The situation is graver. The Turkish cavalry occu- pation of Erenkeui and Kum Kale has been increased to a cavalry division strength of about 2,000 sabres, with machine gun detach- ments. Additional Turkish cavalry have crossed the neutral zone from Bigha and occupied Ahmedly, 22 miles east of Nagara. No collision has yet oc- curred but with the two forces in con- tact this depends upon the discretion of the junior officers on either side. Hamid Bey, the representative here of the Angora Government, made the following statement: \Mustapha Kemal in replying to General Harrington's request for the withdrawal of the Turkish troops from the neutrai zone, says that the Angora Government does not recog- nize any neutral zone as to which he has never been consulted. \The zone has never been neutral, for the Greeks have had warships anchored at Constantinople, whence they left to bombard our coasts. Greek troops repeatedly crossed the Sea of Marmora to attack our troops. The British troops at Chanak demol- ished Turkish houses, dug defenses on Turkish territory and have blown j holes in our roads. I \We accept the principle of the free- | dom of the Straits, but we claim the right to cross the so-ct'led neutral zone into eastern Thrace, where our compatriots are being murdered and maltreated by the Greeks. \We do not d'opire to fight the Brit- ish and will pass by the British troops without attacking them.\ Commenting on this reply of the Na- tionalist leader to the British com- mander, Hamid Bey said: \We desire to live in peace with the British. We admire the British people but we do not trust the British Gov- ernment, which, has not been neutral in our fight with the Greeks.

CONSTANTINE OF GREECE QUITS Fliers Drop Copies of Proclama- tion Calling Upon Populace to Start Revolution. MRS. FREL1NGHUYSEN Newly Elected Head of Congressional Club ARMY AND NAVY REVOLT Cabinet Resigns After Angry 8oldiers of the Salonica Army Demand Change in Government—Forces in Aegean Join Movement London.—King Constantlne of Greec© has abdicated in favor of Crown Prince George, the Greek army and navy are in revolt and the people surged through the streets of Athens In a bloodless demonstration, accord- ing to messages from the Greek cap- ital. Fanning the Qame of discontent avi- ators swept over the city dropping copies of the proclamation of Col. Gonatas, calling on the populace to start a revolution. The King's ministry is out, it Is understood, and Gonatas, man on horseback at the moment, claims the support of most of the military and naval leaders. Speaking in the name of the army and navy, Gonatas says: \It Is de- manded : . \First. That the King abdicate in favor of the Crown Prince. \2. That there be an Immediate dis- solution of the National Assembly, and that a Cabinet be set up, which will inspire confidence and provide for an unfettered nationol election. \3. That the emergency Cabinet take management of foreign question: until the people in election decide their future. \4. That re-enforcements be sent immediately to the Thracian frontier.\ The proclamation of Gonutas is be- ing distributed not only in Athens, but in Larissa and Salonica, where there has been much dissatisfaction ever since the Greeks quit Asia Minor. Gonatas, who heads the revolution- ary movement, is not a Venezelist. Prince George, in whose favor Con- stantine is said to have resigned, has often declared he wouldn't accept the kingship, in which caSe the crown would swing to Prince Christopher, George's brother, who married Mrs. W. B. Leeds of the Uninted States. An American would thus be Queen, and it is said here that she is behind the revolt, as she was behind the return of Constantine. Of interest, in view of developments, was the discovery that when Princess Christopher of Greece—the * former Mrs. Leeds—recently visited London, the Foreign Office vised her passport in such a way as to permit her only two weeks' stay. With martial law in order and a heavy censorship imposed, it is diffi- cult to obtain Information of the-news from Athens, but it appears certain the King has declared his wish to be free of the cares of State. The revolutionary movement, ac- cording to Ix)ndon information, origi- nated in the Mitylene and Chios Is- lands, where a large part of the beaten Greek, army went from Smyrna. The troops demanded the abdication of the King and the overthrow of the Gov- ernment. The movement spread to Salonica, then to the navy and so to the country. King Faced Revolt of Army Athens.—King Constantine abdicat- ed in favor of Grown Prince George, It was officially announced. In a mes- sage to the Greek people, the King stated that for the national interest, peace and unity, he had abdicated In favor of the Crown Prince. The King, when faced by a revolt In the army, after defeat by Turkey, tried to save his throne by the declaration of martial law, but this was of no avail, and he stepped out In favor of his son. Constantine relinquished the throne when reports were received that transports loaded with mutinous Greek soldiers were speeding toward the capital. It is believed that bloodshed would have resulted if the King had held on much longer. The abdicataion fol- lowed closely the resignation of the Cabinet. Mrs. Joseph S. Frelinghuysen ot New Jersey, wife of Senator Frellng- huysen, is the newly elected head of the Congressional Club. OFF FOR NEAR EAST Quick Despatch of Vessels Is Ordered to Strengthen Bristol's Squadron. Washington.—A squadron of twelve American destroyers and one supply ship, the U. S. S. Bridge, were ordered by the Navy Department to proceed at full speed to Constantinople with sup- plies and to protect American interests in the war zone. This announcement was made at the Navy and State De- partments. The two divisions of speedy destroy- ers and the supply ship Bridge are being sent to he Near East on recom- mendation of Rear-Admiral Mark L. Bristol, American high commissioner at Constantinople, to strengthen the naval force under his command for the protection of American interest and t© assist in relief work. Despite the official declaration that the additional units go on an errand i of mercy only, significance is seen in , the action, following so closely Tues- day's announcement that the United States approved the proposal submit ted by the Allies \to the Turkish Na- tionalists in so far as it contemplated freedom of the straits and protection of minorities. The twelve destroyers are i* th« most modern type ar,d are expecred to j proceed at 25 kn«>te an hour, which can be increased to 30 knots if the sit- uation should demand. The supply ship Bridge will sail alone to avoid delaying the destroyers. It is a relatively slow ship. AH of the vessels will carry extra supplies, as recommended by Admiral Bristol. These supplies will be distributed to refugees. The destroyers will assist ia the transportation of refugees evacu- ated from Smyrna to nearby Islands. The persistent invasion of the neu- tral zone by Turkish Nationalist troops despite Allied warnings, with the pos- sibility of a serious clash, Is beltevt I to have been a large factor in Admiral Bristol's request. LIFE FOR AUTO DEATHS Driver Is Convicted in Oklahoma of First Degree Murder. Ardmore, Okla. — Oscar Van Noy, twenty-six years old, was found guilty of first degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment for the death of two persons when struck by a motor- car he was driving.
