Moschopoulos, chief of the general
stan. detailing the chaos in the mill
tary organization of the country

Premier Kalogeropoulos, on depart

this morning, made this declaration
to the Associated Press.
"The cabinet can only await the
receipt of the entente's demand. Il
would be futile to rearrange the con
