GREECE HUMBLY
MAKES APOLOGY
TO ITALY TODAY
Discharged 'the Measures of
‘ Atonement” as Set Down
Coucil of Ambassadors
FOR A TIME PEACE OF
BALKANS THREATENED
It Is Now Thought That Inci¬
dent is Closed—Allied Squad¬
ron, Led by Italian Warships,
Steam Into Phaleron Harbor
(By Associated Press.)
Athens, Sept. 19.—Greece today
discharged measures of apology as
prescribed by the allies for the mur¬
ders of the frontier mission members
at Janina, several weeks ago.
The incident, which for a time
threatened the peace of the Balana, is
now regareddd as closed.
An allied squadron led by an Ital
ian warship steamed into the Phale
ron harber where the waiting Greek
ships rendered a salute of twenty-one
guns to each flag. At the same time
memorial services were being cele
brated at the cathedral at Athens in
the presence of the Greek cabinet and
allied diplomats, while at Provaza
the bodies of the murdered
embarked for Italy with military and
naval honors.
Proud Nation Humbled
As stated in the press dispatch
above, it was a day of sorrow for
Greece when this once proud nation
humbled and beggered itself to its
enemy for centuries.
Greeks in America have had their
pride shattered, chagrined and tram
pled upon. Here in Brunswick all
members of the local Greek colony
feel the humiliation which came from
the demands of Mussolini, Italian pre
mier, and all of which met the ap
proval of the Council of Ambassa
dors, to which body the differences
between the two countries, growing
out of the frontier mission members
murder, was left up to. In Athens
today is one of humiliation as the
proud Greek humbly honors the Ital
'
ian flag.

Italy’s ’ Explanation
Belgrade, Sept. 19.—The Italian
charge d’affaires here has explained
to the government that the despatch
of Gen. Giardino to Flume as mili
tary governor of the free city has in
no way affected the actual status of
Fiume nor the possibility of an Italo
Jugo Slav understanding. It should
be regarded, he said, as a precaution¬
ary measure on the part of Italy,
made necessary by the recrudescence extremist
of activity among certain
elements
In Sofia Gen. Giardino’s appoint
ment caused considerable unofficial
comment here, especially since it was
felt that a settlement of the Fiume
question was in sight. ■
Popular feeling was that a military
coup had upset the course of events
at Fiume and demands n,. that ( Ifni,, Italy
should be asked to cancel -1 the the ap on
pointment were frequently heard.
The minority parties in
are preparing to take in in what
expected to be a lively debake on the
incident at the opening session on
Thursday. It is felt that the govern
ment of Premier Pachiteh may
fer especially if public opinion feels
that the ministry has made too opti
mistic an interpretation of the pre
ceding links in the chain of Italy
Jugo-Slav negotiations, and that it
has failed to keep the public inform¬
ed or- all the developments of the s ; t
uation.
Hie foreign office thinks Pr.iy’s ac¬
tion at Fiume may really be the out¬
come of internal disturbances there,
and suggests that a local resident of
the free city, rather than an official
sent from Italy, might replace Signor
Depoli, who resigned as head of the
Jugo government.

“Synthetic Rebellion
Tulsa, Okla., Sept. 19.—Tulsa went
to bed last night in a situation defined
by Sheriff Bob Sanford as one of
“synthetic rebellion.” It was per¬
plexed as to who rules the roost—the
military or the civil authorities.
A District judge has ordered the
state’s adjutant general to appear in
a civil court tomorrow with three
military prisoners. The summons,
delivered to the civil sheriff, Sanford,
has been commandeered by the mil¬
itary sheriff, Col. E. L. Head, who, it
is indicated, may or may not serve
it upon liia superior officer, Adjutant
Gen. B. H. Markham.
The situation was further compli¬
cated by a mystery surrounding the
whereabouts of Adjt. Gen. Markham
since his departure for Oklahoma
City Monday.
The first skirmish is scheduled for
9 o’clock tomorrow before District
Judge Albert C. Hunt, where the sum¬
mons is returnable.
Plans For Special Session
Oklahoma City, Sept. 19.
tvie opponents of Governor Walton
were going ahead secretly with plans
for the special session attempt, and
it was indicated that if a majority of
each house can be recruited to the
cause, the lawmakers will defy Wal¬
ton.
Leaders of the movement asserted
they already had brought into line a
majority of the house membership.
Sixty-two house members have ex¬
pressed a willing ness to meet without
any reservation, it was stated. This
would give a clear majority.
It was announced that petitions are
being, circulated among the house
members “to have the legislature
convene and investigate conditions
now existing. "When a majority has

the house would convene for business.
Those behind the movement make no
secret of the fact that they will bring
impeachment proceedings againct the
executive if sufficient evidence to
warrant such action is presented.
Precaution Taken
The legislators directing the special
session fight would not permit use of
their names. When the movement
reaches the proper stage they said
they worn! be glad to make their
names public Meeting m a down

not to allow more than three persp is
to be present in their room at the

This precaution was taken in feai .
that the room might be raided by the
form of a riot. Under the statute
three or more persons constitute a
mob.
