Pan-Epirotic Union Sends TEL
egram of Protest to Heads
Of the Allied Governments
Through Its President
SAY INDEPENDENT
STATE ESTABLISHED
Fruits of Revolution Are Taken
From People by Action Of
Italian Army in Taking the
Country, 1t Is Claimed

New York, Nov. 29.-The Italian
government is charged with depriving
the people Of northern Epirius of
their freedom. The accusation is
made in a telegram sent today to
President Wilson and Premiers Gle
menceau, Lloyd George and Venizelos
by the Pan Epirotic union in America,
DR.. John Gatzopoulos of Lowell,
Mass, president.
The message, made public through
the Greek bureau of information,
says representatives in the United
States invested with power by the
Epirots, had proclaimed at Worces-
ter Mass, today the union of north
ern Epirius with Greece 1t appeals
to the government of the United
States to recognize this national de-
cision of the Pam Epirotic Union of
America in behalf of the inhabitants
of northern Epirius."
The message sets forth that in 1914
these people, Christians and Mussul-
men, resisted invasion of their Prov
ince by Albania forces and accom-
plished revolution recognized by all
the great powers of the protocol OF
Corfu and establishing northern
Epirius "as a free and autonomous
state with Greek as the official Ian
guage." After the entrance of italy
into the war the message says. Ital-
ian forces expelled from the province
the native forces and Greek troops
which had come "at the urgent cali of
the autonomous state which was in
danger from hordes of Albanian ir-
regulars"
The message charges that the Ital-
ians then imposed on the Epirots
Italo- Albanian officials, teachers and
clergy. and in violation of protocol
of Corfu declared their avowed in
tention to annex Chimarra to the
italian Kingdom" and the rest of
Epirius should constitute part of Al
bania under an Italian protectorste.
The Italian forces are accused also
of refusing to allow the inhabitants
to muster two divisions to assist the
allies in Macedonia.

s. A. I. c. To BE
DEMOB|L|ZED BY
END OF THE YEAR

tsr MORNING. JOURNAL SPECIAL LrABEu wiHHl
Washington, Nov. 29.--The complete
demobilzation Of the student officers
hundreds Of institutions throughout
the country, has been decided upon
by the war department. In making
the announcement, Secretary Baker
said in some cases the demobilization
will start Immediately and the plans
of the department contemplate the
breaking up of every unit by Jann-
aTy !.
More than 500 institutions, with
student enrolment of 100, 900, were
included in the student army training
corps. This organization was author
ized in the last army bill and its pur-
pose was to furnish a reservoir of Of
ficer material upon which the army
could draw.
The corps was divided into two Sec
tions, the collegiate and vocational, the
latter being designed to train trade
specialists for the army, Contracts
were entered into between each insti-
tuition and the government under
which colleges and schools were reim-
bursed for the additional expenses ne
cessitated by the organization OF the
new unit.
The s. A. r. c. as il was officially
termed, absorbed the old reserve Off
GERS training schools in the schools,
but many of the institutions will re-
constitute the old corps.
The process of liquidating contracts
with the institutions has already be-
gun, it was said today. Demobilization
of the units is to begin las near after
December 1 as is practicable" and Of
ficials here believe the entire person.
mel will have been turned back to the
college faculties by January /.
Supervision of the organization has
been under control of a special educa-
tional committee headed by DR..
Charles r. Mann, dean Of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology. The
military features were controlled by a
body OF army officers with Brig. Gen.
Robert l. Rees in charge.

Washington, Nov. 29.--Boston, New
York, Newport News Va, and
Charleston, S. c., are the ports the
war department now plans to use for
the return of the army from overseas.
Even with this wide distribution of
the strain on port facilities and trans
portation, however, and with German
ships now idle in German harbors en-
ployed on the task, estimates show
that the last Of the army could not
possibly reach the United States in
less than eight months, Conservative
calculations upon which preparations
by the department probably will be
based, fixed ten months as the mini
mum.
These estimates have been made
wholly on the basis of the physical
difficulties to be overcome and do not
take into consideration the question
of the retention in Europe for some
time of an American force which
may be agreed upon at the peace
conference. If the return movement
already in progress, is continued at
full speed the last division in all
probability could not reach the United
States before October, 1919.
Decision to route the troops to their
homes through the four ports mem
toned Is understood to have been
based on two main considerations.
First they have been equipped to
handle the transports and the men,
and, second, they are the natural
gateways to the country. each fed by
an independent rail system ramfying
back through geographically inde-
pendent sections of the United States.

Thomas Mooney free will not be

resentative of the International Work
ers' Defense league, in a statement is
sued at the headquarters of the or
ganization here today.
There will be no letup In the bat
tie for the liberation of Tom Mooney
and Warren X, Billings, victims of
corporate greed in California" the
statement says in part.
"The commutation of Mooney's
death sentence TO life Imprisonment
by Governor stephens is not Justice,
but is victory for those who sought
Moneys execution. Instead of an
instant death by hanging, our brother
has been condemned to death of slow
torture in one of the foulest prisons
in America. Those who think that
this action will close the demands for
justice will soon have reasons to real
ize their mistake
THE defense is moro determined
than ever to force the issue now The
agitation for general strike on De-
cember 9 will now take definite form
and despite the actions Of q few
traitors to the working people occu-
pying high places in the American
labor movement.
"The rank and file of labor are
making the Mooney case their issue.
They will not allow Tom Mooney to
be buried alive in a California prison.
which is the living tomb OF many of
our brothers. We have exposed the
most gigantic perjury plot In the his
tory of American Jurisprudence, and
knowing justice to be on our side will
make no compromise now"
After criticising Governor Stephens
of California, the statement con-
tinues:
"All plans for general cessation
of work, outlined by the San Fran
cisco defense organized on behalf of
Mooney will be carried out so far ae
lies in our power, We have assur-
ances from the labor forces through
out the nation that the taking of the
strike vote will continue, and the
tieup will come on December un-
less the national authorities secure
the justice refused by those In power
in California. The enemies of labor
have forced the issue. There will be
no compromise with them now
Mooney must be freed or given ANEW
trial. Organized labor stands Yas a
unit upon this demand"

He did not state whether this policy
would apply to other troops returning
later to America.
While accredited newspaper men
may board the ships. he said that the
public would net be allowed on the
piers, first because of the congetion
that would reult, and second because
of desire to safeguard public health
by making possible physical exami-
