CREEKS BRAVE
AT EXECUTION
Six Cabinet Ministers Go to Their
Death Jauntily-Chat Gayly
With Slayers.

Athens, Nov. 30-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-The six cabinet min
listers executed here last Tuesday
went courageously, even jauntily to
their death.
TheOtokis, BaltaZZis and General
Hadjanestis wore their monacles as
they took their places in the little
line before the firing squads. All
removed their hats except Gounaris,
who stood with his hands in his
pockets.
Stratos smilingly lit cigaret as
he took his place. Then he handed
the silver case to the officer in
charge of the execution as a sign
of his appreciation fthe latter's
courtesy and tact in the exercise of
painful duty
Theotokis and Baltizzis chatted
gayly with Gounaris as the brief
final arrangements were made.
Propotatpapakis was silent and
General Hadjanestis wore his usual
air of nervousness and restlessness
The death sentence was delivered
by the court martial on Tuesday
and was communicated to the con-
| demned men who had previously
been removed from Averoff prison
where they had said farewell to
their relatives.
Promptly ats11 o'clock, after the
administration Of the last religious
rites, the prisoners were remeAed
in automobiles to the place of ex-
ecution near Goudni, outside the
limits Of Athens.
The condemned were immaculate
ly dressed and they showed no emo
ton as they alighted from the
motors and walked to the square
formed by the waiting troops. They
took place at equal intervals, each
man facing his own firing squad
and refused to be blindfolded
When the order to fire rang out all
fell simultaneously and physicians
said that death in each case had
come instantly.
The bodies were removed to a
nearby cemetery where relatives at
tended the burial rites.

1880 o'clock this morning and con-
tinuing with short Interruptions
until noon, threatened to make
Thanksgiving day day of Indoor

The rain, however, was forgotten
after the odor of the turkey and
other dainties being prepared
reached pa and the kids in the front
room where they were having the
time of their lives building blocks
and thinking of what was to happen
to that fowl called turkey, in a
short time.
All business in the downtown
district was suspended for the day.

tabIish any kind Of permanent pol
icy and even II the original pFUvi-
sions had been retained, there
would have been nothing to. pre-
vent q Democratic congress from
repeating the whole buainess in
1924. Those are the risks which
any concern will have to take. Con,
Eress on the other hand has rare
" passed any legislation INJECTING
= direct loss upon any part of the
community when substantial
equity was involved.
The government on the other
hand, always reserves the right to
terminate any policy that may
prove Improbable. The only thing
that private ship owners can be as
sured Of II the bill Is passed is that
for an indefinite period, at least,
until the. experiment Is proved un-
successful, the government will
not be q competitor in the shipping
business. This, alone, together
with the authorized indirect aids
such as the laws requiring that
half the immigration be carried in
American vessels and preference in
other ways be given shipments in
American vessels may be enough
inducement to keep a privately
managed American merchant ma
rine in the business but the senate
debate will bring out all the real
difficulties and problems. The vote
in the house was not a real test be-
cause this measure like the federal
reserve act and other important
pieces of legislation Of recent
years will get much more thorough
analysis and criticism in the SEN
ate.

Ii Il an open eecret that Of the ~
Republicans who voted against the
in the house on WedneS-
day many conceded the economic
argument in favor of the proposed
law but they could not bring tnem-
selves to vote for something with
the narne Subsidy" attached be-
cause Of the popular and historic
prejudice against that bind Of APP
preparation.
One Of the most damaging amend
ments adopted by the house from
the viewpoint Of the friends OF the
bill is that requiring annual appro-
priations. The champions Of the
measure had hoped for a commit
ment by congress to a policy that
would permit private companies to
organize with a confidence that
the new policy toward shipping
would be permanent. In any event
no congress could bind its success
sor and even the naval program
which was authorized as year to
year matter found the same kind
Of obstruction because appropria-
tons had to be made annually.
Debate Promised.
Unquestionably this point will
be the subject of sharp debate in
the senate for the whole success OF
the subsidy policy may turn on
its outcome. Will private ship
companies put up their capital on
the expectation Of subsidy il
they must run the risk Of a turn
down every year by congressional

answer is that no congress can es-

sLame Ducks aelD.
OF those who voted for the bill in
the house were many Republicans
who were not reelected in the re-
cent election and who have more
to gain perhaps by supporting the
administration than opposing it.
There are many appointments to be
made and usually the outgoing
members are given preference by
the administration whether it is
Republican or Democratic. The
term "lame ducks" has been ap-
piled to these defeated members
and theer are several Of them in
the senate who would naturally
help the administration on its pet
measure.
