Greece Has Been Despoiled, Says
Former Minister.
,ba lrsociatad press

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September q. = The
Greco Italian crisis was revived last
night with stunning force by Nich-
Olas Politis, former Greek minister
of foreign affairs and now represen.
tative of his country on the council
of the league of nations.
Assuming from press forecasts that
Greece would be obliged to pay Italy
the SO. .O0O, 900 lire deposited by her as
security for indemnity, NJ. Politis de-
clared that such decision on the
part of the council Of ambassadors
would he an outrageous injustice ana
would prove to the world that the big
nations of Europe are in complicity
to strike a blow at small ana de-
fensefess country.
Makes ScnthinE Charge.
NJ. Politis then EXPIRE the de-
sire TO see the journalists. and the
correspondents of all nations later
listened to his scathing indictment
OF the methods employed by the am
bassadcrs at the reported decision.
He charged the council of ambassa-
dors with having reached their con-
clusions without waiting for the final
report of the commission of inquiry
Into the murder of the Italian MEM

members of the mission were con-

murders constituted an act OF per-
sonal vengeance against Gen. Teliini.
head of the italian delegation, ar
ranged in Albanian territory. -
He declared that the investigation
was continuing. because bandit who
surrendered confessed to the Greek
that ten days prior TO the
he had been requested
by the Albanian chief of police TO
organize the murder on Greek terri
tory of a member of the frontier
commission, which he had refused
to do.
NJ. Politis contended that the in
curry was entitled to continue until
today, and he said he failed to un-
derstand the haste of the council of
ambassadors.
Observing that Greece accepted In
advance the decision of the ambassa-
doris conference, NJ. Poiitis said that
nevertheless Greece would not fall
later to express her opinion clearly In
a communication to the ambassadors.
He recalled that former Premier
yenizelos of Greece was shot several
wears ago in Paris, and that NJ.
Vorvsky, the soviet representative,
was slain at Lausanne, but that the
French and Swiss governments did
not hold themselves responsible.

KEMALIsT PARTY SPLIT.
Reforms of Military Idol Cause
Contention.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN. September 27.-Members
of the Turkish colony in Germany
who are friendly to the new national
list government in Turkey are much
exercised over the reports now reach
ing central Europe of discord be-
tween Mustapha Kemal and many Of
his leading associates.
Until the Lausanne treaty was
agreed upon the Turkish nationalists
held their differe noes under cover and
presented solid front to the entente.
But the moment they had won what
they regarded as a great diplomatic
the withdrawal of European armies
from Constantinople, the dissension
among Mustapha Kemars chiefs came
out into the open.
The rumblings reaching central
Europe indicate that discomfort with
Mustapha Kemal's handling of affairs
Is gaining ground. Mustapha and
his associates were SO sweeping in
their Introduction of western ideas
and western ideals that they shocked
reactiomry Mohamnedans into ST.
lence for time, but there now is
evidence that the pace they set has
been too fast for many of the old
timers, who are aligninE themselves
with the anti-kemalist factions.
Turkeys dispute with Russia over
commercial relations, which practi-
cally cut off all communications with
Russia for some time. has been great
ly criticized by many Turks. The
financial situation is so strained
that reconstruction work is difficult.
and Mustapha's enemies are charging
his policy with the failure of Turkey
to regain it's trade.
With the disappearance of foreign
trading houses from Constantinople
under the Kemallst regulations and
restrictions. the business situation
becomes gloomier every day, and
Mustapha Kemal is far less popular
man as a director of reconstruction
than he was as 81 leader of Turkish
soldiers against the Greeks.

THE PRESIDENT IS NO MORE

Warren G. Harding, president of the United States, is deed
No greater shock could have come to the hundred and twenty
millions of American people than this statement. Coming as it
did, so quickly following the report of Improvement i'll his
condition, the people of tho country were totally unpreparcd to
receive the tidings-
Elected president in 1920 by upwards of seven million pu-
rality of the popular vote showed the confidence the people
American president ever faced-the restoration of the country,
its government and its business from a war footing to the basis
of peace.
His answering determination, his wonderful patience, his
broad knowledge Of men and affairs; his masterful power of
diplomacy and Cancellation have brought affairs well on the
way to a permanent reestablished order and a high state of
prosperity. This in less than three years time. And since time
but few men would be able to leave as a monument to their
memory.
The people were Just awakening to the real value Of their
president, the many qualities they had. not discovered in him
as a presidential candidate and the storm center of politics
following his triumphant election They found rising to the
surface in every test put upon him those plain, homely, sturdy
and dependable qualities of American citizenship that make
for honor and inspire a feeling of security.
The people have admiration and respect for the plain and
ordinary virtues and they found them in Warren Harding and
they were more and moro coming to trust in him.
He was perhaps not the most brilliant of American presi-
dents, and in no sense spectacular, but had he been permitted
to continue and complete the work he was performing, so hon
estly and so conscientiously he would have been tho most loved
and trusted president since Mckinley.
Tho citizens of the great republic, irrespective of creed. faith
or affiliation, bow their heads in sorrow at the passing of their
president. His going is a personal loss to every acquaintance
he ever had because that acquaintance became his friend.
And when the funeral cortege proceeds on the solemn Jour
ny from far away California to the last resting place of the
distinguished dead in the old Ohio home, the way will be strewn
with fragrant tokens of love and words of sympathy and regret
will mark all expression.

Warren @. Harding brought to the
presidency an infinite patience and
kindness IN dealing with public
questions and men which enabled
him TO handle the problems Of gov
eminent without tho stress and
worry which had handicapped many
of his predecessors
Whatever else historians may
say of him there probably viii be
little dispute that few executives
came to office in peace time facing
problems more complex In their ma
ture or greater in number. All in
ternational affairs were unbalanced
as never before. with many princi-
pal settlements Of the great war
still to be effectuated. At home
the work of reconstruction had
only Just begun. with business de-
pressed, agriculture PROSTATE and
Unemployment general.
How Mr.. Harding measured up to
the task before him must be left to
the historians. but his friends said
that coming to the presidency as he
did with an open mind. a desire for
counsel and an intimate knowledge
