WILLIAMS WANTS TO TALK
Minister to Greece Can't Stand MuzzIe
Imposed by Diplomacy.

Washington. July 7.-George Fred
Williams, United States minister TO
Greece and Montenegro and com.
mentator upon the program of the
powers in the Balkans, has awakened
to a realization OF the fact that his
post In the diplomatic service is
hampering his freedom OF speech and
has therefore rendered his resigna-
tion. 1t will be promptly accepted.
The state department gave out a
statement which says I'm part:
"Mr. Williams requests Secretary
Bryan TO tender to the president his
resignation as minister TO Greece and
Montenegro The reason for his resig-
nation is that he cannot comment
upon the situation in Albania as he
would like under the restraints i'm
posed by his diplomatic position and
that he does not feel that he can con
scientiously keep silent with the
knowledge he has OF what is being
done"

which had been blown TO the roof of
another building 200 feet away.
The police spent n good deal of time
In figuring out how to handle one OF
the most difficult situations that has
ever confronted them-how to take
suppressive measures with other an.
archists In such way that the
radicals would not consider they were
being picked on" and attempt to re-
venge themselves by some acts of
violence which they would not other
wise contemplate.
In the forefront OF this situation
stands the proposed funeral and pub.
lie demonstration" over the bodies o.
anarchists in Union square next Sat.
urday. The police are I'm a quandary
as TO what TO do about this.
Commissioner Woods said that he
would not take any action until a per.
nit for the affair was asked for. which
| must be done at least six hours before
the parade" the route OF which must
be specified.
Alexander Berkman, who is making
arrangements. for Saturday, said, on
the other hand. that permit was not
necessary, as the parade would be
simply q funeral procession.
AS the plan is at present the three
collins will be borne from the under
taking shop by six members of the an
archists' organization down TO Union
square, where they will be placed upon
collapsible platform which Berkman
has. Then will come the services at
which Berkman, Leonard ID. Abbott
and others will speak. Afterward the
bodies will be carried to Long Island
City. where they will be cremated
and put In urns to be preserved ut the
