provided by the Russian authorities
into model establishment"

Russia Protests to Allies
For Threatening Greece
Note Denounces s'Brutal Inter-
ference in Affairs Of Hellenic
People by ssImperialists'

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Russian
Soviet government suddenly has taken
part in the Greek troubles by sending
a strong note of protest to Great
Britain, France and Italy against their
brutal interference in the affairs Of
the Hellenic people" according to a
Moscow dispatch to The Daily Herald.
The Soviet does not threaten any &C.
tion on behalf Of Greece, but it pre-
diets that the Greek laboring masses
"soon will free themselves from the
unsolicited tutorship of imperialist
powers"
NJ. Tchitcherin, the Bolshevik For
eign Minister, in note as quoted by
The Herald, says that the Soviet gov
ernment has learned that Great Britain,
France and Italy have warned the
Hellenic government that in the event
of the restoration of King Constantine
they will make reprisals against Greece,
presumably in the shape Of a diplo-
matte boycott, an economic blockade
or other punitive measures.
"The Soviet has no sympathy with
monarchs or kings" Tchitcherin is re-
ported as saying, "but it has a good
deal with a people which, like it's own,
has resolved, though in an inadequate
manner, against the policy of war for
conquest imposed upon it by the i'm
perlalist regime with the aid of for
eign bayonets."

Central Americans
Here Oppose Probe
Into Cabrera Case
Committee Says Ex-President
Of Guatemala Was Impris-
oned for Murder of 400
in Effort to Retain Office

The New York Committee for the
Union Of Central America announced
yesterday that at its next meeting in
two weeks resolution will be adopted
condemning the bill to be introduced
in the United States Senate by Senator
Moses, of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, providing for the appointment
Of an American commission to go to
Guatemala to investigate the imprison-
ment of ex-President Estrada Cabrera.
During the discussion yesterday of
the proposed bill sentiment was prac-
tically unanimous against it. 1t was
said that the United States Senate
committee has been misinformed re-
garding the status of the ex-Presi-
dents imprisonment by his personal
representatives in this country. Ca
brera was an arch enemy of the move
ment to merge the five republics of
Central America into one, it was said,
but 1t was denied that an American
investigation is opposed by Central
Americans here on that ground.
Manuel Urruela, one of the directors
Of the committee, said the action will
be taken because Cabrera is held re-
sponsible by his countrymen for the
murder of more than 400 persons
when he sought to retain the Presi-
dency by force after he had been de-
barred by the General Assembly Of
the republic.
The New York Committee for the
Tnion of Central America was formed
about four months ago. Its member
ship comprises 1900 Central Americans
living here. Five directors, one from
each Of the republics, were elected
yesterday. They are:
Guatemala, Manuel Urruela; Saliva
dor, Leon Siguenza; Honduras, DR..
Marco A. Herradora; Nicaragua, G.

Ten U. S. Ships Among 25
In Harbor of Hamburg
Renewal of American Shipping
Gives Signs of Life to
Once Great Port

HAMBURG, Dec. IL (By The Asso-
ciatcd Press) Ten American ships
were counted to-day by the correspond
ent III a general tour Of Hamburg Har-
Dor, as against six flying the British
flag, four the French, four the Dutch
and one the Japanese. The American
vessels, most Of which were unloading
grain, were the Ipswich, Harry Lucken-
bach, Kerkenna and Curlew, all from
New York; the Lake Ganado, of Sagi-
nav; the Chico:nico, Of Seattle; the
Belle, the Rose Of Kearney and the
Eastern Breeze and the Victorious, Of
San Francisco.
The great harbor, which is capable
of accommodating quarter of the
worlds tonnage, is virtually deserted,
but still it is having slightly more life
than six months ago because of re-
newal of American shipping through an
arrangement Of the United American
Lines with the HamburgAmerican
Line, which is dredging, rushing re-
pairs and building ships preparatory
to resumption of world trade in con-
nection with American interests.

Judge Palmer settled the riddle with the
imposition of an order to the conglom-

The action was brought by Mrs. Mar

Two-thirds Of these officials are

not even able to pay railroad and

have failed up to the present,

LUCERNE, Dec. ~ (By The Associ-

have been completed for the departure
Of former King Constantine of Greece
and his family for Venice next Tuesday
on the first stage Of their journey to
Athens. The royal baggage, consisting
Of 220 heavy trunks and boxes, was
taken to the railroad station this morn
ing.
The special car of Constantine and
his family will be attached to the regu-
lar train At first it was thought that
only ordinary accommodations could be
obtained for the returning monarch.
Constantine and his family posed to-
day for group of newspaper photo
graphs. 1t is said these are the last
to be taken in Switzerland.
The members of Constantine's house
hold still are bewildered by the unex-
pected refusal of the Greek government
to allow Professor Georgios STREET and
NJ. Papparagopoulo, advisers to Con-
stantine, to return rc Greece. To-day
they expressed wonder as to how the
situation would end and whether other
followers of Constantine now in Greece
would be exled.
Exit of Others Expected
1t is freely predicted among the
Greeks here that M. Gounaris and other
Greek statesmen of the former Con-
stantine regime may find it advisable
to leave Greece voluntarily in the inter
est of amicablc relations between Greece
and the Allied nations Immediately Con-
stantnc reaches Athens.
Constantine and Queen Sophie, &C
cording to members of their household,
are expected to take a leading part in
urging reforms in Greece. 1t is said
that an endeavor will be made by them
to be more democratic than they were
teforc they were sent into exile Con-
stantine, it is said, probably will urge
legislation for improved labor condi-
tions, agricultural reforms and better
ment of the situation of the poor, while
Queen Sophie hopes to head a movement
for woman suffrage.
Urges Mission to United States
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 that
ne still hopes the Allies will continue
financially to support the Greek army
i'll Angora. One of his purposes in
proposing to go to The front immedi-
ately is declared to be an endeavor to
show the Allies his personal influence
with the army
1t is not unlikely, according to Greek
newspaper men here, that the Athenian
press will urge the government to try
to float loan in the United States, and
that to this end one Of the leading Greek
tnanciers will be sent to America to
sound out the bankers there.
