Athens.-Prince Andrew OF Greece
brother Of the deposed King Constan.
tine, was sentenced to lifelong exile
and military degradation for having
disobeyed orders during the recent
war with Turkey when he had a mill
tary command.
1t was considered that he had a
narrow escape from death as the court
might have imposed the extreme pen
atty on the strength of the evidence
introduced.
The judgment of military degrade,
lions that he must have his
buttons and badges cut off in the pres
ence of a regiment of troops.
Dispositions read at the court-martial
agreed that Andrew had disobeyed or
ders during the Asia Minor campaign
when the Greeks we're routed by Mus,
tapaha Kemals forces.
The prince was exceedingly nervous
when the first questions were fired at
him. His replies were choked with
emotion as he answered the revolu-
tionary inquisitors, M. Lapoulas and
Colonel ~Sareyannis.
1t was only after some time that he
recovered his sangfroid and was able
to answer the court calmly.
With his wife, Princess Alice, watch.
ing, and amid the solemnity caused by
the knowledge Of the terrible fate of
the five cabinet ministers who had
passed before him, the scene at the
court-martial was dramatic in the ex-
IRENE.
The prince was questioned for Q
very long time by M. Lapoulas and
Colonel %Sareyannis and lengthy depo.
sitions were read condemning him.
These dispositions all agreed that the
royal prisoner had ~disobeyed the in
structions Of the headquarters staff.
Three witnesses were heard, and
the court announced that it would con.
slider the verdict.
The fact that a death sentence vas
not imposed is believed due, in part,
at least, to the furore created by the
execution Of former Premier Kournaris
and the other officials who were shot
with him and the fact that Andrew Is
related by marriage to the Mountbat,
tens. a powerful house connected with
British royalty.

NEWS AND VIEWS FROM The
STATE CAPITAL.
BY ?. r. RlrdSaII

The suggestion Of error by the lnsur-
nee companies in the fire insurance
antitrust suit decided by the supreme
court on November l3 in favor of
State Revenue Agent Stokes V. Rob.
ertson, has not yet been filed. Emf.
nent Jackson lawyers discussing the
matter, seem to think that as the court
gave this case mature consideration
and each jugde was 30 positive as to
his finding On every point that none
OF the judges Is likely to change his
opinion, and the expression is current,
therefore, that the suggestion OF error,
when filed, will be overruled. There
Is still talk Of an appeal to the su-
preme court of the United States by
the fire insurance companies, but 1t
is pointed out that all Of the judges
concuITed in holding the penalties i'm.
posed by Chancellor Stricken as not
excessive, which seems to be the only
federal question involved in the case.

SMET'S PLEA is REJECTED
Turkish N~ationalists Claim All Capitu
lations Null and Void-Delicate
Question Submitted to Sub
Commissions.

Lausanne-The United States stands
solidly behind Great Britain, Italy, ia
pan and France in insisting that Tur-
key must be restrained, in principle,
at least. Ambassador Richard Wash
burn Child stated that the Washing
ton government shares the allies view
that the interests of their nationals
in Turkey must be s~afeguarded.
The allied viewpoint is not yet for
mulated definitely, but the British in
sist hat the capitulations must be re-
tanned. Ismet Pasha refused point
blank the allied demand for a contin-
uance of capitulations. He asserted
he had to accept no special regime for
foreigners in Turkey, regardless of the
name under which such a special re-
gime might be camouflaged.
Despite his refusal, however, Ismet
did not raise any objection when the
whole question was turned over to a
subcommittee for examination. Am
bassador Child told the conference
commission that the United States
would be satisfied with any form Of
guarantees which Turkey might give
either in the form Of internal legisla-
ton for the protection of foreigners
and their interests or in separate trea,
ties. Baron Hayashi, the Japanese
envoy, pointed out at this juncture
that it took Japan twenty years to-
work out a system for the protection
Of foreigners, and that the system re.
suited in annulling the former special
regime.
There are rumors in Lausanne that
the British are preparing to abandon
the conference if the Turks persist in
refusing to come to terms with the
British on three principal questions
at issue-oil, the straits and capitu-
lations.
The British here hint that Ismet
will want to return to Angora shortly
to secure further instructions from
the national assembly. The Turks, on
the other hand, deny that they need
to refer anything to their government.

GERMAN VETS ORGANIZE.
Adopt Resolutions Against Proposed
Prohibition Legislation.

Berlin.-More than 5000 opponents
Of prohibition adopted a resolution at
a mass meeting in protest against
legislation which the federal ministry
Of economics is said to be preparing,
designed to curb the consumption Of
alcoholic liquors.
The assembly constituted the first
organized public attempt to offset the
dry movement in Germany and will be-
followed at Schoenberg, one of the
city's western residential districts, by
the first anti-prohibition parade to be-
held here.
The resolution declares: According
to official statistics, the consumption
Of spirituous liquors now comprises
only a fragment of that drunk by the
German people before the war. The
abstinence movement is striving not
only to oppose misuse, but far more,
to pave the way, after the American
pattern, for making Germany COM
