LIVES OF 1900
NARPR|SONERS
SAVED BY YANkS
Converts What Promised
to Be Cemetery Into
Model Health Camp.

Washington. Dec. 12.-Credit for saw
ing the lives of 1900 Austro Hungarian
prisoners of war in a prison camp near
Chabarovsk, in eastern Siberia. during
the fall of 1918. is given to officers of
the 9th United States infantry by Lieut..
Col. Ferdinand Reder of the former
Austro- Hungarian army, in an open let
ter to the press of Austria and Hungary.
Colonel Reder's letter, forwarded to
the state department by the American
mission at Budapest and made public
here Sunday, says an epidemic of influ-
enza had threatened to convert the camp
into vast cemetery" when personnel
of the American regiment, commanded
by Colonel G. H. Morrow, took charge
and transformed the 'wretched' hosri-
tai accommodations provided by the Rus
sian authorities into model establish
ment."
Colonel Reder declared he felt it his
first and most sacred duty" on return
ing to his country TO 'let the world
know" that he and his comrades owed
their Elves, health and happiness and
power for good In the world to the noble
American officers of the 9th Regiment
to the great American nation"

CONSTANTINE TURNS
QUICKLY DEMOCRATIC
ONEVEOFCROW

Lucerne, Dec. 12.-(By The Associat-
e5T Press preparations have been
completed for the departure Of former
King Constantine of Greece and his fam
lily for Venice next Tuesday on the first
stage Of their journey to Athens. The
royal baggage. consisting of go trunks
and boxes, was taken to the railroad sta
ton Sunday morning They are expected
to arrive in Athens Sunday afternoon.
The special car in which Constantine
and his family will travel will be attach
ed to the reg liar train. Constantine and
his family posed Sunday for a group of
newspaper photographs.
The members Of Constantine's house
hold still are bewildered by the unex-
pected refusal of the Greek government
to allow Professor Georgios streit and
NJ Papparagopoulo, advisers to Con
stantine, to return to Greece. They Won
der how the situation would end and
whether other followers of Constantine
now in Greece would be exiled.

BREAK IN CABLE:
MEET AvERTED;
RESUME TALKS
Japanese and French
Refuse to Concede
American Rights.

Washington, Dec 12.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press ss).-Differences over dispo-
sition of the former German cables which
have threatened to break up the interna-
tional communications conference In ses-
sion here were temporarily smoothed
over Sunday at q plenary session held
at the state department. Negotiations
between the five allied and associated
powers represented in the conference will
be continued.
The outstanding difficulties in the way
of an agreement are understood to be
the refusal of the japanese to concede the
principle of equality of all nations in
cable landing rights on the Island Of
Yap, one of the most important centers
of cable communications in the Pacific,
and the refusal Of the French to make
concessions to the United States and
Italy of the German transatlantic cable
seized BY the French in 1914. and di-
verted from Emden, Germany, to Brest,
France.
The basis of prospects Of an agree
ment by the delegates to the conference
was not fully disclosed and it only be-
came known that a threatened disruption
had been averted through cancellation
OF the railroad ana steamship FeseINd-
tions by the foreign delegates who had
planned to leave Washington for New
York and San Francisco tonight to make
their departure home.
Another plenary session will be held
Monday in the effort to reach settle
ment Of the points at issue.
The visit of Acting Secretary of State
Davis to the capitol last week when
a break seemed imminent in the negotia-
ti0ns. to confer with the senate foreign
relations committee, and the assurances
of support that Secretary Davis receiv-
ed from the committee for the conten
tions Of the American commissioners
to the conference, is believed to have
had the effect of restraining any precipi-
tate action on the part of the foreign
delegations.
While no immediate end to the negoti-
ations is yet in sight, plenary sessions
of the conference held Saturday night
and Sunday are understood to have
developed at least better understand
ing and an agreement that solution
of the difficulties surrounding the equit
able disposition Of the cables should be
further before adjournment
was taken.

MAD YANK DIES.
MANY INJURED
IN WARDBLAZE'

Washington, Dec 12-One patient,
Sergeant Alzin Messenger formerly of
the Seventh coast artillery, is believed
to have burned to death and several
other patients were injured, none ser
iously, Sunday in a fire that destroyed
two of the psychopatic wards of the
Walter Reed hospital.
The fire, which hospital authorities
believe was started by one patient with
matches smuggled into his room, and
which threatened for q time to spread
to other wards, including several in
which disabled World War veterans are
patients, was checked by the combined
efforts Of the hospital and Washington
fire departments.

regime may find it advisable to leave
Greece voluntarily in the interest Of
amicable relations between Greece and
the allied nations.
Constantine and Queen Sophie, ac-
cording to members of their household,
are expected to take leading part in
urging reforms in Greece. 1t Is said
an endeayor Will be made by them to
be more democratic Constantine. it is
said, probably will urge legislation for
improved labor conditions, agricultural
reforms and betterment of the stu
alton of the poor. while Queen Sophie
hopes to head movement for woman
suffrage.
Constantine has asked the Greek gov
ernment to send missions to the United
States. Great Britain and France TO
place the Greek situation in the right
light before the world. 1t is said he still
hopes the allies will continue TO sup
port the Greek army in Angora finan-
cially.
It is not unlikely, according to Greek
newspapers here that the Athenian
press will urge the government TO at
ter - to float a loan in the United
States.

COUNCIL ALSO
DISCUSSES NEW
DEVELOP P|NENTS
Leaders Attempting to
Postpone Debate Until
Next Session.
Compromise Is Being
Urged on Bolivia; Chile
Remains Silent.

Geneva, Dec. 12.-fBy The Associated
Press The Tacna-Arica case, which
in the last As hours developed a serious
crisis in the league Of nations assembly
was the subject of long discussion at a
special meeting of the bureau of the
assembly Sunday afternoon. The council
Of the league also discussed the recent
developments caused by renewal of the
Bolivian demand for hearing of the
Tacna- africa question by the present
assembly
Leaders of both the assembly and the
league have agreed that the case must
If possible, be not permitted to come
before the present session. Bolivia is
being urged to accept a compromise by
referring the case to a special COM
mission, which would report at the next
meeting Of the assembly.
Representatives Silent.
Representatives Of Bolivia and Chile
are maintaining silence. but it is learned
that Chile probably would accept the
proposal.
After the meeting of the council, Paul
Hymans told The Associated Press that
everything was being done to induce
both countries to postpone the case. He
said it was hoped they would agree with
the view Of the great majority Of the
delegates that the case cannot be heard
at this session. He did not believe either
would withdraw from the assembly and
declared reports to this effect to be
premature.
Finish This Week.
The fifth week of the assembly of
the League of Nations is expected to
begin with a burst of speed in an effort
to clear mp the business and permit
delegates to get away before next Sun
day.
The debates on almost every question
have been drawn out far beyond antici-
pations. but, with the approaching two
sessions each day, it is hoped that time
will be found for all the delegates to
deliver speeches which have been tucked
sway in their pockets
Every effort to shorten debate by
limiting the number of speakers on each
subject has met with stern resistance.
The international court will be the first
big question of the week The committee
having charge of this question finally
has reached an agreement on its report.
Hope is expressed, however. that this

DAnnunzio, the government intends to
send an ultimatum to him containing
the threat of an offensive action. It
is reported, however, that D'Annunzio
would welcome any military demonstra-
tion.
The detection from the army and
the recent joining of the poets forces
Of naval craft. 1t is believed here, win
hasten decisive action. General Cavig-
lia's mission to Ahbazia is considered In
this connection. There were wild
scenes in Fiume Saturday when mem
bers OF the Autonomous party, who are
DAnnunzio's sworn enemies, were beat
en- by legionaires in reprisal for their
having adopted resolutions condemning
the poet. Socialists also were attacked.
