Greeks Expect d
Recognition
official Organ of Premier
Gounaris Predicts America
VIII Recognize Con-
stantine

Athens, Nov 2.The Preteyosse,
organ of NJ. Gounaris, the, Greek
Premier, announced recently that
the United States government would
soon recognize King Constantine.
The newspaper asserted that, at
ter the elections in November last
I The United States government COM
planned That the Greek govern
ment had not announced TO the
White House the second advent Of
King Constantine to the throne.
In those days. says the Prote-
youssa. Greece was represented in
Washington by a junior and un-
fledged member of the diplomatic
service named NJ. Drakopoules. This
Young diplomatist having nfisinter-
bceted the Instructions Of the then
Prime Minister; the late M. Rhaaiys,
briefly communicated to the Amer
ican government that there was no
occasion to announce the return Of
Ring Constantine to the throne.
inasmuch as he. had never ceased
to be the lawful sovereign of
! Greece.
This isssaid here to have created
the Impression that the obligations
assumed by Greece during the Ven
sizelist regime would not be recos-,
nzed. TO eliminate this impress
sion, the Hellenic government cate
gcrics1ly declared to Professor Ed
wards Capps, then American Min
ister IN Athens that Greece fully
recognized those Obligations. go
According to the explanation
siren here, Constantine, was, how
ever. not recognized by the United
States owing to the action OF a
European power which declared
that if the United States govern
ment recognized Constantine that
power would recognize the regime
Ia Mexico.
SIS 8. However, the ProtevoEssa says,
the European power in question has
now assumed a more conciHatinS
attitude and on the other hand,
relations between the United States
and Mexico have appreciably i'm
proved. It is, consequently, says
the Premiers organ, TO be expected
that the constantinian question will
now be settled SO far as America is
concerned.
It is regarded as urgent that a
Greek special delegation should go
te the United States since it IS al
most Impossible for the Greek
government to be in constant touch
with its diplomatic representative.

Paris Art Salon !,
Some Features of the Fall

Paris. Nov. 1e.-The Autumn
Sale which has opened its 18th eX-
iaibition proclaims that it is open
to all formulas and it has proved
1t by giving publicity to schools or
erazes like. Cubism, Futurism and
Dadaisn. Extreme examples of
these practices, however, are. ( not

which strikes note of modernity
and Of living effort that contrasts
With the nuseum-like effect pro-
duced by the older salons.
The effor. is made to embrace
every branen of art in addition to
kainting and sculpture. There are
sections for books, music. the dance
and fashions, the latter showing the
latest creations Of celebrated dress
p2kers.
This year two new sections have
been added, those of moving pic
lures and the theater
One room is devoted to a strik-
sng snow OF Russian art, another
for a group Of Belgian artists.
American work, including exhibits
by so artists is placed with that Of
the others in general, as it would
be difficult to give a room to each
OF the q countries represented.
No special picture has established
i4self as the picture Of the exhibi-
lion. There mas been more talk
and more printed about picture
hat is not on show, because the
Jury refused it. than about any
other.
This rejected work is a portrait
Of Miss Maria Ricotti. an actress,
one of the fy~ portraits sent in by
KEGS van Dongen, whose portrait
Of Anatole France was a striking
feature of the last New :. Salon.
Judged by the reproductions in the
press, this portrait was ruled out as
being too normal to represent van
2ongen. The dress is black and SO
gives no room for the Dutch paint
er's striking color power, and the
eyes seem almost natural in size
instead of occupying q third Of the
face as usual with this artist.
Another picture which the crowd
is making sure Of seeing is Francis
Picabia's 'Hot Eyes which has
also had the distinction of wide re-
production. Two concentric circles
with circumferences outlined in
color. occupy the upper half of the
canvas, hand is outlined below
and a small circle with certain
mathematical lines are placed be-
tween. Various things are written
in paint across the canvas, much
as lesser artists inscribe sentiments
on walls.
Mr.. Picabia, head of the Dada
lists. untis he ex-communicated
them some months ago, has anoth-
er work of similar brilliancy. cali
ed for some reason, The Caeody-
late Eye which is entirely in writ
Ing except for photograph of the
rtist Of passport size, stuck on the
canvas. Mr.. Picabia now signs his
work "Picabia, lie Loustic" or Buff
