WILLIAMS TO Be
OUSTED AT ONCE
Wilson Expected TO Accept I'M
mediateIy Resignation Which
Was Asked For.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-President
ignation of George Fred Williams,
American minister to Greece and
Montenegro, whose alleged criticisms
of conditions in Albania caused a SEN
sation in Washington and in the cap
itals of Europe. 1t was expected that
it would be accepted Immediately,
thus terminating Mr., Williams's
brief, though extraordinary career as
a diplomat.
Mr.. Williamss resignation had been
at the White House since last night,
where it was sent from the state de-
partment Secretary Bryan, in a
statement, formally announced his
resignation, stating Mr.. Williams
gave as his reason that he could not
comment upon conditions in Albania
as he would like under the restraint
imposed by his diplomatic position,
and that he did not feel he could con-
seientiously keep silent with his
knowledge OF what is being done. Mr..
Williams added, the secretary stated,
that he did not wish to embarrass
the President
Belief that President Wilson had
decided to accept the resignation at
once was further strengthened by the
fact that the President caused the
resignation to be asked for last Fri-
day night, and that he had notified
the leading European powers that the
United States disclaimed any respon-
sibility for statements regarding AL
bania, credited to Mr.. Williams.
