ANOTHER CRISES IN GREECE
Cabinet Resigns After Vote in Parlia-
ment Yesterday

Athens. Nov. 5-Following its de-
feat in parliament yesterday the cab
met resigned.
The immediate cause of the defeat
was Il remark made by War Minister
Yanakitasas, which was considered by
fc.mer Premier Ven.zclos as insult
ing to the national assembly. NJ.
Venizclos demanded an immediate
apology.
Premier Zaimas thereupon declared
the government stood behind the war
minister, and demanded vote Of con-
fidence.
The vote resulted in Ia ballots ToI
ard 147 against the Zaimis ministry
three members of the chamber OF
! deputies not voting.
After Premier Zaimis handed hi!
resignation to King Constantine, the
deputies again assembled and there
was a striking demonstration in honor
of former Premier Venizelos.
Greek entrance into the war is re
garded here as almost certain to 1ol
! low the overthrow of the cabinet.
Eleuthericus Venizeles, whom Zaai
mis- succeeded and who probably vii
! in turn succeed the latter, is known
rs war advocate. Indeed, it wa:
for this reason that King Constan

trality, forced his resignation.
The presumption is that back il

struggle quickly.

CASE OF WHITELOCk
German Government Provoked by His
Publications

Washington, Nov. 5-The belief
in official circles that Brand WnIt-
lock, United States Minister to Bel
.i,rcG IS returlinr 10 ti.i5 country al
the suggestion Of the administration
because his position in Belgium "a@
urtenable received material support
yesterday.
From an authoritative source lnior-
nation was obtained concerning Mr..
Whitlock's recent explanation to the
State Department. 1t shows that nc
made some interesting admissions.
Mr.. Whitlock said:
"First-The German government
was provoked by the publication o.
; his report on the execution OF Miss
Edith Cavell, the English nurse, by
[iroar Britt il.
Second-the resentment Of the Ge:-
man government was intensified BY
the fact that German officials were
criticised by name.
Third-His report to Ambassador
! Page at London was intended as =
confidential document.
; Fourth-Although he knew it wouic
he communicated 10 the British gov
ernmcnt, he believed the British gov
eminent would use it only for its in
! formation.
As this was interpreted by officials
who are acquainted with the situation
it means that Mr.. Whitlock was
made to realize the displeasure OF
the German government at develop
ments. and that he did not provide
against the publication Of the report
by Great Britain, and thereby al
lowed an embarrassing incident Il
rise.
1t was ascertained definitely yes
terday that neither Mr.. Whit:ock noI
Ambassador Page took any precau
tior TO prevent Sir Edward Grey pub
fishing to the world criticisms by
American diplomats of German polio!
in Belgium.
SO far as it is possible to ascertain
Ambassador Page has not been ask
ed to explain why he did not forestai
the publication.

New York, Nov. 4.-Ten minutes
after all the crew had left the British
shin Euterpe last night terrific ex-
plosion occurred.

fire in the first hold.
The explosion shook the whole
South Brooklyn water front in the
vicinity of Erie Basin, where the Eu-
terpe was moored.
The ship is under charter to the
British government, and was to have
sailed on Saturday with a cargo of
sugar.
Secret Service men began an i'm
mediate investigation. One Secret
Service man, who had been working
in alleged German bomb plots, was
sent to Brooklyn to take charge of the
investigation.
Efforts are being made to couple
the explosion with $4,000 cotton
fire in the Red Hook warehouse Of
the New York Dock Company, early
yesterday morning.
These were yesterdays startling
developments in the bomb plot in
vestigation:
]. The discovery that eighteen
secret arrests have beer made by the
Hudson Boulevard police, with the
cognizance of the United States Sec
ret Service and the New York police
department.

fessed that the campaign was plan

TAFT WOULD SPANK 'EM.
That's The Way to Deal With Strik-

New York, Nov. 5.-EX-President
W. H. Taft, addressed Il gathering
of $50 pupils of the Horace Mann
School for Boys, yesterday and told
them of the responsibilities of Am
eican citizenship. He urged them to
have respect for the law and unfolded
the advantages under which the boys
of the present generation are living
that were not dreamed of by the boys
Of 100 years ago.
"There is too much of tendency
today to despise and criticse condi-
tions in the country" he said. "This
is not justified. Conditions are better
than certain people are trying tc
make then.'
Mr.. Taft frowned on the example
of school children who went out OF
strike because they did not like a
teacher, a principal or method OF
instruction. He called this silly and
said his remedy was spanking. Thl
