paper correspondents went before the
minister.of war and the premier to-
day and complained that the press
censorship established during the
Venizelist regime was being con-
tinued. They declared that their dis
patches were being delayed or alb
solutely Suppressed
The two officials answered that
during fusillades last week bullets
injured eighteen overhead wire sys-
TENS and that this was responsible
for delays. They declared that II the
censorship was stu in operation it
was because some Of the corre-
spondents had roisrepresented last
weeks demonstrations by saying they
were in favor Of the former German
emperor. The two ministers, how
ever. promised to remove all censor
ship restrictions. Some CORE
spondents have left Athens and
others intend to take the same course
if conditions do not improve.
Pro Constantine newspapers are
optimistic over the situation. They
assert France is the only nation
which absolutely opposed the return
of Constantine.
The Journal Hesperina says that
King George Of Great Britain is in
constant correspondence with King
Constantine and has assented to his

larly around the appointment of
thirty-four new general officers, all
| CHOSEN by selection, many of whom
nave jumped over their seniors. Most
or the officers promoted to be major
generals and brigadier generals are
SAID to be favorites Of General Per-
| shlng, chairman of the selection

staff.
One Of the officers ignored in
eleven promotions to the rank of
major general is Brig. Gen. Clarence
| II. towards, who comma Eded the
! New England division early in the
war, and who is regarded In some
quarters as likely appo:ntee as
chlef OF staff under the Harding ad-
mlnlstration. Senator Lodge and
Observation-Disclosures Coolidge are ex-
Pected to champion the cause of
General Edwards when the appoint
ments come before the senate.
Inc eleven new major generals, all
OF whose commissions date from
July, 1920, are James W. McAndrew,
John L. Hines, Henry T. Allen, David
c. Shanks Adelbert Cronkhite.
George w Read, Omar Bundy, Will
liam M. Wright, Charles II. Muir,
Charles T. Menoher, and William G.

OF the twenty three new brigadicr
generals, thirteen served under Gen.

They are: William Lassister. 5s

pointed out that all of the seven last
named officers except William D.
Connor have been promoted from the
rank of captain to that of brigadier
general since the outbreak of the war
in 1917.
Inc array reorganization law under
which the promotions were made
provided that no man should be pro-
NOTED by selection to be new gem
eral officer until he had served twen-
ty-two years in the army. 1t is
charged that this provision Of the
| law has in effect been openly yio-
lated by the special board in the case
OF Lieut.. Col. Hugh A. Drum, whose
twenty-five years was not reached
until Sept. p, 1920, and Lieut.. Col.
George V. H. Moseley, who will not
| have served his twenty-five wears
until Feb. j., 1921.
1t is asserted that neither of these
officers had reached the service limit
Of twenty-five years at the time the
-Pershing board. pior to Sept. / last,
reported in favor of their promotion
to be brigadier generals. 1t is alleged
that the action of the board in the
cases of these two officers, at least,
amounted to holding two brigadier
s,eneralships open for these two
! younger officers to reach the re-
quired term Of service.
On behalf of Pershing it is o o.serted
that the younger officers who have
been promoted over the heads Of
their seniors were selected on the
basis of extraordinary service in thA
war and that when the senate coml
mittee considers the nominations Il
will find the general entirely 1ustified
in approving the selections.
