Great Britain.
London, Nov. 28. — Great Brit
ain broke off diplomatic rela
tions with Greece today when
the death sentences imposed
on former cabinet officers were
carried out.
Fines ranging from 200,000
Kto 1,000,000 drachmas were im
posed on the prisoners. In ad
dition, Generals Stratigoa and
Hadjanestis and Admiral Gou
das were sentenced to military
degradatii n.
The precedent of such action
by the British, it was said,
meant the break in diplomatic
relations with Serbia in 1003.
as a result of the murder of the
Serbian majesties by revolu
tionaries.
CHARGED WITH HIGH TREASON
The trial of several former Greek
ministers am! military .officials who'
were charged with high treason a,-
the result of the army’s recent de
feat by the Turks, began November
13.
The eourtmartia! was instituted by
a decree of the revolutionary com
mittee after an investigation by a
special committee of inquiry had re
sulted in a report charging treason.
Former King Constantine was de
clared exempt from the charges on
the ground that he was not respon
sible for any acts that led to the tri
umph of the Turkish armies.
Early in the trial, the British gov
ernment" made resentations
against imposition of the death sen
tences. London dispatches say the
British action has been generally re
sented in Athens and that the recent
fall c.f the Zaimis ministry could be
traced directly to the British stand.
No definite official announcement
of this step has been made hut it is
stated in such way that it is regard
ed as a warning to Greece that the
execution of these men would he the;
signal for such action.
