Secretary Weeks extended his
past week with this message:
ITO the Army of the United States
Regular Army. National Guard. Or
ganized Reserves extend best
wishes for a merry Christmas and a
happy New Year. This year has been
critical and important. The trans
formation of the elements of our ma
tional defense from a war to a peace
time basis has been completed. The
Regular Army has undergone trying
reduction. Stringent measures of
economy have been successfully cf-
fected. The foundation Of our national
defense has been laid in accordance
with a definite military policy-the
first in the history OF our govern
ment. The citizens training camps
OF last summer were a success. Real
progress has been made in rebuilding
the National Guard. The organization
Of the reserves is we'll under way.
The new year promises much con-
structive work in the development Of
the Army of the United States. All
Of its members are performing their
duties enthusiastically. The spirit of
cooperation between the Regular
Army, National Guard and Organised
Reserves is growing with encouraging
rapidity. Veterans Of the world war
are earnestly assisting in the reor-
ganization of their old divisions.
Young men who were ineligible be-
cause of their youth for service during
the recent emergency are recognizing
their responsibilities under the ma

ARCHBISHOP DECLARES
ELECTION VETO INVALID
Patriarch-Ele Of Constantinople
Denies Right Of Barring by
Sublime Porte.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 1.-THE
veto placed by the sublime porte
upon the election Of Archbishop
Meleteus Metaxakis as patriarch of
Constantinople. highest dignitary of
the Greek orthodox church, is in
valid, the archbishop declared in a
statement here today.
He asserted the treaty of Sevres
specifically provided for the full re-
ligious autonomy Of minorities with
in the Ottoman empire and that the
former right of the sublime porte
to overrule such an election had
vanished with the signing of that
treaty.
The patriarch elect expressed re-
gret at opposition of the Greek gov
ernment to his election. He said he
hoped the Greek government would
not insist upon interfering in the
matter in which the Greek clergy
had full autonomy.
Archbishop Metaxakis was prelate
Of Athens until the restoration to the
throne of King Constantine, when
he was banished because of his
alleged entente with the former Pre-
mfer Venizelos. He plans to sail
shortly for Constantinople to take
up his new duties.
