Athens, Nov 2S Blythe 4, P.l.-A statement issued by ths ccnrtnarSsal which condemned to death the former ministers, giving the reasons for impos- ing the sentences of death. says in effect that the defendants knowingly concealed from the people the danger involved in King Constantine's return to the throne and that, although Greece was breaking away from her alliances, they did their utmost to consolidate onstantine's throne in order to enjoy office under him. -
 By terroristic methods the statement adds, they stified all public opinion con trary to them. arranged with General Hadjanestis pretended offensive against Constantinople. and thereby brought about the enemy's offensive and the col lapse of the Greek front in Asia Minor, thus deliberately delivering a. large part of the army into the enemy's hands.

HARD LUCK OF AMERICAN
 SOLDIERS STRANDED ABRoAD

Hoboken, N. J., Nov. 2S.-Hard-Iuck stories aplenty were brought home by the first contingent of former American soldiers stranded abroad after the war, who returned late today on the President Adams, many of them with their wives and children. They numbered 211 and about 1000 more remain in France to be brought home at the expense of the American government
 The ex-ighters, many of whom dis played decorations awarded for valor on the field of battle, complained bitterly Of their treatment stating that in Cher bourS they had been lodged with their families in immigrant barracks.
 All the men declared they had receiv- ed honorable discharges. Since the war, they said, they had been working for the United States department of agriculture and the Graves registration service.
 The contingent, comprising chiefly members of the old 69th New ork reg iment and the 9th regulars, was assembl- ed in Paris by Miss Marjorie Hanson, of ! the American Aid society They made the trip under charge of F. D. Dyer of Boston and o. Nj. Thomas. of Chicago business men and former soldiers Rep ! resentatives of the Red Cross and. other welfare organizations swarmed the >pier ] lO SiSSI lilelHs
 Not so hearty a spirit of welcome was evidenced, however at co sserence here this afternoon between Harry L. Barck overseer of the poor in this city, and 1 Bird S. Coler, commissioner of public welfare in New York city.
 l Commissioner Coler was opposed tc ] admitting the repartriated Americans to l New York state, for fear that the desti- ute band would become burden on so- ciety.
 Bez-k and Mayor Griffin insisted that whi hey could land in Hoboken, they could not remain here lest they become public charges.
 ! Opposition to the return of the soldiers apparently did not crystalline, however for tonight all had left the ship.
 Several ex-soldiers who were married abroad after orders were issued to tht army of occupation not to take German wives will have to send their families tt Ellis Island to pass through the hand! of immigration officials before they ar, admitted to this country
 A few of the former soldiers were en tirely without funds. Some asserted tha had. not the French displayed an antag onism toward them, they could hay
 found employment at their trades ant saved money.

NAVAL BOARD TO PROBE
 CONDUCT OF MIDsHIPMEN

Washington, Nov. 2s.-Appointment of a naval board to investigate the dis graceful conduct of midshipmen at ball at Philadelphia Saturday after the annual Army-Nayy football game was announced late today by Secretary Denoy at the conclusion of lengthy conference with Rear Admiral Henry B. Wilson, sup erintendent of the Naval Academy
 The incident, it was said, wzs. not dis cussed at today's cabinet meeting but President Harding was described as re- garding it as discouraginG and de- piorable manifestation of laxity in pro- hibition enforcement and as being de- termined that his administrations should keep vigorously behind it's commitment of law enforcement
 Secretary Denby, in announcing the ap- pointment of the board of inquiry, the membership of which was not made pub lie, emphasized that it's investigation would be directed toward fixing respons- ibiIity for conditions that made possi- ible. the "disgracefuP incident and was not intended to- bring to book the mid shipmen themselves"
 Court martiaIs of midshipmen, he in- dicatsd, were not expected to result un- less individual features not thus far brought to his attention were developed by the investigation. The purpose, he said, was to prevent repetition of the affair rather than to. punish participants. I The incident, 1t was made clear today will have no effect on continuance of the annual game between the two ser vice academies.

Paris, Noy. 2S.-(By The A. P.)-Al- thSush tho majority of tho members of tho FeparationS commission are oppos- cd to Premier Poincare's plan for di- roct action for the collection of the German indemnity, there Is growing feeling that the French government will soon be in a position where 1t will be forced to take independent measures against Germany.
 This impression Is based on the uncer- tatnty as to whether the proposed in- tsr-allied financial conference at Brus- sels will actually take place, and the stiIl greater uncertainty over the pros poets Of agreement if tho meeting Is called.
 With the announcement of the cabin cts plan for occupation of the Rhur district in the event France does not obtain satisfaction before January IS, the meeting of premiers which will prob ably be held in Paris early next week has assumed considerable more import auce.
 The pressure of Prime Minister BonaI law at the conference now seems assur- cd, but the participation of Premier Mus solinl of Italy is not yet confirmed.
 M. Poincare has a definite plan to place before the premiers, and especial ly before Mir. Bonar Law. The plan which was approved at the cabinet meeting today, provides for a reduction ot the German indemnity to reasona- bio figure, probably 50,000 ;000. 900 gold marks, in return Nor cancellation of tho French debt to Great Britain.
 It also contemplates raising a large international loan, half to be devoted 10 stabilization of the German mark ana tho remainder to payment of separations to France. A moratorium of severn years would be accorded Germany, but the most rigid guarantees would be ex acted and a commission on reparationi would exercise complete control of Ger many's finances.
 N The Associated Press was informed b! members of the French delegation tC the commission tonight that, unless sucl a plan Is substantially agreed to by tht

ADMINISTRATION SHIFTING
 BILL CHANGED IN HOUSE


 Washington, Nov. 2s.-Radical chang es In several provisions of the admins ration shipping biB, all of them proposed by republicanA, were made today by the house as 1t Approached final vote on the measure. More than two score of amendments were offered, but less than a dozen were approved.
 In quick succession amendments pro- posed by democrats hostile to the legis- lation were rejected. Practically all of them came from four democratic mem bcrs of the merchant marine committee -Representatives5 Davis of Tennessee , Hardy and Briggs, of Texas, and Bank head of Alabama Friends of the bill, en- copraged by their success in turning back the democartic attack, predicted they would have a comfortable margin on the. passage vote. scheduled for not later than. four D. m. tomorrow, >"'' -sr- Among the important changes made in tho measare during the day. was an amendment by, Chairman Madden of the appropriations committee, making it necessary for. congress each year to au- thorize payments from the merchant ma rine fund to operators of American shlps. -1.-...
 At tho suggestion of Representative Eldmohds, Pennsylvania ranking repub-
 
 tee, the house decided not to make gov srnment aid available 10 industrial con cerns. such as the Standard Oil company Tor the operation oe vessels carrying theil own products. Tho blll, as amended permits such companies, however. to re. ceiYe assistance for, transporting cargoes ot other shippers.
 As expected, Representative Bankheat proposed that the bill specify that, com pensation was not tn be paid to any op- orator whose ships carried liquor. Thc supreme court, it was pointed out might decide that American ships outside the three=mile limit were not subject tC he prohibition Law, and the BankheaC amendment waS offered to make doubly sure disbarment of liquor from American vessels.
 Mr. Edmcnds quickly offered a sub itHute for the Bankhead narrowing it, cope to provide that ships should no ;eceive aid for voyages on which liQuol var carried After, brief discussion tn, Edmonds substitute was adopted. 5S tt H. Another amendment approved mad, sailing vessels of 500 to 1000 gross tom eligible for government aid The chang, was suggested by Representative White republican, Maine, who held that thi 4iVsV hAlhhuM' CaFrleu, m the eDll a. drafted was not low enough.
 House members were appealed to b, President Gompers, of the .Americal Federation of Labor, in letters sent ou during tho day to defeat the biil. Ex pressing the opinion that 1t would plac atremendous drain on the treasury with put effectively rehabilitating the Ameri can merchant marine, Mir. Gompers de clared that labor ocnounced the bill N I fraud, a robbery and wholly indefens ible.s S7- sN

allies, France will take the only other course open to her, namely, seizure of the products of the Ruhr and absolute control of the French Rhineland."
 Our situation is very acute, and I am sure that if America were in our place she would have collected her in demHity from Germany long ago, said this spokesman. 'It is four years since the amistics, and France has in effect collected nothing from Germany. On the other side we have expended ninety bil- lions of francs on the regions devastated by Germany. ... "It Is admitted that Germanys fin ancial situation is bad, but she is large | ly to blame Her industrial life, how ever, is intact and she is potentially rich and can pay"
 In American and British separations circles, on the other hand. PoincAre's di- rect action threat is believed dangerous to both. France and Germany. Total col lapse of Germany, financially and in dustrially, would immediately follow the carrying ont of such a scheme, it is contended, and the net result would be that France would get little or nothing, and would ruin her own credit in the bargain.
 It is impossible to make M Poincares s proposed reparations programme effective at this time, in the opinion of the Brit | ish and Americans. There is not a chance, it is stated of raising a large loan at present, and J. Pierpont Nor gan, just before his departure for home last week, is said to have regretfully confirmed this vieI-
 There is only one solution of the Ger man problem left, in the view of the American experts. whose opinions seem to- be substantially shared by the Brit ish. Belgian and Italian experts. This solution, calls for a relatively small ent time.
 This amount. with, the 125 .00o,0 ,0o0 gold marks promised by the reichsbank would be used entirely in stabilizing the mark.
