PLANS DEBT REPORT
FOR FRENCH CHAMBER

BY the Associated Press.


PARIS, September 29.-A special
committee appointed by the Chamber
of Deputies to make a report on the
Washington debt settlement soon will
open its meeting in order to return a
report when the Chamber reconvenes
toward the end Of October.
NJ. Dariac, former Minister of

studying the settlement in an en-
deavor to go through the data furnish
ed by the government SO as to enable
the committee to report as soon as

PREMIER OF GREECE
RESIGNS HIS POST
Gen. Kondy|is, Who Drove
PangaIos From Power,
Would Appease venezeIists.

ATHENS. September 29.-The res
ignation of Gen. Kondylis. who as
sumed the premiership after driving
out the Pangalos government, is in
the hands of President Kondouriotis,
but has not yet been accepted.
The premier placed his resignation
at the disposal of the president as. one
way out of the difficulty arising
through the refusal of the anti-NeniZe-
list parties to take part in the parlia-
mentary elections unless the govern
ment resigned.
This action was taken by Premier
KOndyliS after a siX-hour meeting
today of the political leaders con-
vened for the purpose of making ar
rangements for the elections and to
compose factional differences.
Gen. Tangerines, cOmmandant of
the Athens garrison, had previously
informed the leaders of the Venizelist
parties that armies would no longer
interfere in the political situation, but
would abide by any decision reached
at the meeting.
Some of the leaders favored pro-
pOrtional representation. while an
equal number opposed it, SO that the
question of the electoral system was
left for arbitrament by President
Kondourotis. Most of them favored
the retention of Premier Kondylis
until after the elections, while the
anti NeniZelistS opposed it. The
premier declared that If he remained
in Office he was willing to postpone
the elections for fortnight and also
dismiss any ministers intending to
seek reelection.

an opinion sustaining a motion to dis
miss the plaintiffs bill Of complaint.
The suit followed controversy over
the dividing line and fence and road
way between the properties.
The motion to dismiss the bill OF
complaint, filed by the defendants
through Attorney A. Leftwich Sin
clair. was based on the following
grounds: First. because the bill does
not state facts legally sufficient to con
stitute a cause of action; second, be-
cause the bill of complaint is an eject
ment bill; third. because the bill seeks
to restrain a trespass and a. private
nuisance, and. fourth, because the
plaintiff has full, adequate and com

ARMAMENT ISSUE
TOPIC At GENEVA
U. S. Delegation Rejects Pro-
posaI That National De-
fense Budgets Be Basis.
By the Associated Press.

GENEVA, September 20. Brig.
Gen. Dennis F.. Nolan yesterday told
the military committee of the disar-
mament commission that the Ameri-
can delegation was unable to accept
the proposal that national budgets for
defense afforded a true measure of
armaments.
In opposing a project to limit ar
maments by reducing armament bud
gets Gen. Nolan said that the pay of
the American soldier would cover that
of 58 French soldiers. Al Italian SOL
dferS and / 1 Japanese soldiers. He also
asserted that the subsistence cost of
one American soldier would pay for
the feeding Of two and a half French
and Italian soldiers and one and a
half Japanese and British soldiers.
The military committee already has
decided that it would be misleading to
compare the ornaments Of various
countries by comparing armament ex-
penditures and is now asking whether
it is possible to insure the reduction
Of armamentS by pairing down eXpend-
itures.
The French delegation thinks that
it is possible to do this. Gen. Nolan,
however, maintained that eXpendi-
lures for national defense afford
neither a true measure of armaments
nor q fair basis of comparison for the
fiXat tion of a satisfactory method of
limiting armamentS.
The military committee expects to
continue it's labors without Interrupt
ton until it's agenda is cleaned up.
which probably will be about Octo-
ber |.

LEAGUE HEADS INTERESTED.
Statesmen Believe Tangier and Abys.
sinia Will be Discussed.

GENEVA, September 29 H).-The
Forthcoming conference between Sir
Austen Chamberlain and Premier
Mussolini Is attracting interest in
League of Nations circles, where ii
Is believed. the British and Italian
statesmen are certain to discuss the
Abyssinia and Tangier problems.
1t Is known that the Abyssinian
question was Settled out of court. -
Great Britain and Italy prevailing
upon Abyssinia not to appeal further
to the League against their alleged
pressure for the granting of conces-
sions in Abyssinian territory. The
details Of the settlement have not
been disclosed, but 1t is probable the
matter will he the subject of further
exchange of views.
Would Limit Germany.
Furthermore, Mussolini .s believed
to desire assurance that Germany. as
q member of the League, will not be
permitted to reopen questions settled
by treaties, including especially the
cession of Southern Tyrol to Italy by
Austria, as we'll as assurance that
Italy's demands for an outlet for her
surplus population will not be forgot
ten in any plans to allocate colonies to
Germany.
Finally, Italy, realizing that Great
Britain is being kept informed of the
negotiations for broad Franco Ger
man accord begun at Thoiry, is be-
lieved to be anxious to pretent elabo-
ration of a virtual tri-partite pact
which would leave Italy out Of CON
sideiation.
Italians here insist that their coun.
try. as a matter of prestige, must be
reckoned with in all important Eu-
ropean agreements. because Italy,
like Great Britain, is guarantor of
the peace of Europe under the Io.
carno treaty.

ATTORNEYS ADAMANT
IN BREAD-DIET TEST
Howard T. Jones and Arthur w.
Henderson Continue Experiment
Unmoved by Associates.

Attorney Howard T. Jones, chief as
sistant to Assistant Attorney General
Mabel Walker Willebrandt. and Ar
thur W. Henderson, attorney in
charge of admiralty cases for the De.
partment of Justice. continued on the
second day Of their bread and water
diet today, adamant to the tempta
tions thrown in their way by their
office companions.
"Everything's going all right" said
Jones.
The two attorneys deny that their
experiment has any bearing on the
bread and water sentences imposed
on bootleggers in Nebraska, but Is
merely to satisfy themselves that
they will be none the worse for such
a diet.
They will not continue the bread
and water regime if they find it is
proving harmful. but since both are
stout men. they will not balk at losing
a little avoirdupois.
