LONDON, OCT Il.
The Entente officer who has been ap-
pointed chief inspector of the Greek mill
tary police has opened his rule with a
drastic campaign to stop anti-Entente agi-
tntion. This officer. who has all the powers
Of the Minister OF the Interior, has. In some
respects, more authority than King Con-
etantine himself.
Many pro-Germans are being arrested in
Athens on tho ground that they and their
agents melted the populace 20 rioting and
hostile demonstrations In front OF the em-
bassies of the Allied Powers, says dis
patch from the Greek capital today. Houses
occupied by ro-Germans are being searched
for documentary evidence to show that the
propagandists spent big sums to promote
the anti-Entente riots.
Tho Entente police inspector has already
ordered that King ConBtantine's bodyguard
be cut down from 1000 men TO eighty Con-
stantlne had surrounded himself with
picked troops. All orders TO the military
police must pass through the hands of
the Entente inspector. and he has author
ity to dismiss and transfer policemen and
gendarmes
All questions OF police policy are to be
determined by the inspector. Even orders
from King Constantine must be signed
by the Inspector before they can be car
risd out. This officer also has charge Of
the newspaper censorship in Athens.
There has been some delay on the part
Of the Lambros Cabinet in turning over
the Piraeus-Larissa Railway the chief
railroad In Greece. to the Allied military
authorites This has resulted in another
demand from Vice Admiral du Fournet
that all the rolling stock be transferred

A personal warning has also been served
on King Constantine by Sir Francis FL

Margaret Deland. whose two interests
this summer have been her just-published
novel, The Rising Tide" and the American
Authors Fund for the Relief Of Wounded
Soldiers Of the Allied Nations, has received
a letter from the American Relief Clearing
House in Paris thanking the association
for a contribution to the Italian hospitals.
and saying: This gift Of American au-
thors TO Italian hospitals seems particularly
appropriate. as undoubtedly one OF the
greatest factors In persuading Italy 20 Join
the Allies was the genius and the prestige
of a brother author. D'Annunxio. Since
this was written the authors have sent an
other check to the Italian hospitals.
