Bentinck, British member of the .financial control, remains here, (Chicago Tribune Furelcn News Service. Copyright, by the Chicago Tribune.) ATHENS, Nov. 28 The execu tion of the Greek ex-cabinet min isters Gounaris, Baltazzi, Stratos, Theotokis and Protopapadakis and General Hadjanestis was held at sunrise this morning on the out skirts of Athens, according to a government communique issued at noon today. Just before General Hadjanestis faced the firing squad, because of his poor handling of the Asia Minor campaign, he was degraded, his sword being broken and his but tons cut off. Generals Stiatigos and Goudas were condemned to life imprisonment and they were de graded at the same time. Last Communion Given.

General Demetrios GoUnaris was exiled from Greece during the world war on the charge of trea son, but was permitted to return to take part in the election, with the understanding that if he failed of election his parliamentary im munity would cease at once.

He was held chiefly responsible for the disas trous adventure against the Turks. ATHENS, Nov. 28.-r(By the As sociated Press.) A statement is sued by the court-martial which condemned to death the ex-ministers, giving the reasons for impos ing the sentences of death, said in effect that the defendants know-, ingly concealed from the people the danger involved in King Con stantine's return to the throne, and that, although Greece was breaking away from her alliances, they did their utmost to consolidate Con stantine's throne, in order to enjoy office under him. "By terroristic methods," the statement added, "they stifled all public opinion contrary to them, arranged with , General Hadjanes tis a pretended offensive against Constantinople and thereby brought about the enemy's offensive and the collapse of the Greek front in (.Concluded ub fage ti, Column 3.)

While freely admitting that every man's nume is his castle, the stroll ing knights of the Community Chest affirm that the principle may at times be carried a trifle too far. This, forsooth, is what seems to have happened yesterday when a certain defender of the cause ap procahed a comely bungalow in one of the better residential district's. Ther,e were roses over the trellis and a. few lata blooms struggling bravely with the November chill. And Jjehind the roses this you never would have guessed there was a swagger, deep-chested, bow legged , bull dog. He emerged, clanking his chain. Dog Defends Door. "Wow! Wow!" remarked this sen try at the portal. "Nice dog!" countered the cru sader amiably and still advancing. He set foot on the first step. "G-r-r-r-r!" said the bull dog, and flashed to the end of his chain. Whereupon the chest solicitor, be ing a knight fully as discreet as valorous, tucked the prospect card back in his files, bade bow-legs good afternoon and went away from that place. It is violating no confi dence to relate that he backed away. "Our field forces," said General Sammons, knitting his brow over (Concluded on Page 3, Column 1.)

' :SX- Abdication in Favor of Nephew ; Would Have Prevented Over turn, Says Critic. ' BERLIN, Nov. 28. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Germany's old sys tem of government spelled her ruin, "but unfortunately all of us share the blame because we consented to that system for so long," declares Count von Bernstorff in his periodi cal. Democratic Germany, in , the course of a sharp criticism of the former kaiser' a recently published memoirs. Count von Bernstorff finds the ex-kaiser's book leaves three im pressions with the reader regret that it was written, surprise at the "bourbon mind, which learned noth ing and has forgotten nothing," and its "historic inaccuracy, combined with a feminine conception of things in which the personal stands always in the foreground." The former ambassador takes is sue with William over progress of events in November, 1918, declaring he has given just as one-sided a version as did the ex-crown prince in his memoirs. He denies that Frince Maximilian of Baden forced the kaiser out, as the latter charges, adding that the chancellor was not so "completely in the hands of Scheidemann" as W i 1 li a m has assumed. "Naturally," Count von Bernstorff continues, "Maximilian had to deal with Scheidemann if he wished to prevent the revolution. At the chan cellor's request I then discussed the question with Scheidemann. The latter was not pressing entirely for the revolution but held the abdica tion of the kaiser in favor of his nephew as a condition sine qua non for retention of the monarchy, which was otherwise impossible. "The revolution could only be avoided through the timely abdica tion of the kaiser. That Maximilian knew but unfortunately the kaiser did not. If the kaiser had followed his chancellor's advice his nephew would be on the throne even to day. Instead, the kaiser p'layed with- separatist thoughts, such as holding on to the Prussian crown. "Here, too, the legend is revived that Maximilian proclaimed the ab dication with the kaiser's consent. Von Hintze (Admiral Paul von Hintze) telephoned from Spa that the kaiser wished to abdicate, but wanted to draw up the proclama tion himself. Thereupon the chan cellor replied in my preeiice that there was no time left for. formal ity and therfore it had already been issued in Berlin. . . "Too late! These words stand at the threshhold of almost all revo lutions in the history of the world, yet monarchs learn nothing from them." RAILROAD WORKER RISES Section Laborer of 39 Years Ago Now General Manager. CHICAGO, Nov. 28. W. F.

NO WOMAN EVER SEEN III Health Is Suspected to Have Caused Hillsboro Youth to Take Own Life. LOS ANGELES. Cal., Nov. 28. (Special.) With an unknown mo tive, Vaden Elwyn Boge, 22-year-old student and electrical worker of Hillsboro, Or., yesterday staged an elaborate death drama in which he sought to leave the world In an atmosphere of mystery and tragedy. Proof positive, according to Cap tain of Detectives Roberts, that Boge carried out a carefully planned suicide was found today whes the drug store, at which he purchased a quantity of poison and signed for i" in his own name, was located in Los Angeles by Detective Sergeant Longuevan. This, coupled with the fact that no glimpse of the "mystery woman" with whom he appeared to rave registered at the Alexandria hotel and for whom Boge had apparently ordered lunch in his apartment, was obtained by any member of the ho tel's staff or the waiter who served the lunch a short time before Boge died, clears the case, according to the police. Mystery Baffling at First. The Pndlng of the poison pur chase cleared the first phase of what at first appeared to be one of the most baffling murder mysteries ever encountered by the Los Angeles police, and rivaling in, interest the riagic u'eath of William Desmond Taylor, famous moving picture di rector. Boge, according to Detective Ser geant Cline, head of the police homi cide squad, purchased a deadly poison from a drug store, 409 South Main street, at 9 o'clock yesterday morning When requested to sign the poison register, as required by law, Boge signed his name as "V. E. Boge" and gave 1163 East Forty-second street as his address, said Cline. Purchaser la Identified. I. Wachtel," proprietor of the store, was present when Boge bought the poison, and was taken to the Ivy H. Overholtzer mortuary, where he identified the body as being that of the man who purchased the poison. While a positive motive was lack ing, Boge, it was believed, killed himself because of ill-health. After his arrival in Los Angeles he lived at the home of his fourth cousin, Mrs. Ida Lingenfelter, at the East Forty-third street address, and she told the police today that Boge had been despondent because of poor health. She said she had never seen Boge before he came, but that he had corresponded with her daugh ter, Marion, aged 17. Second Fksie Unsolved. Boge, the police believed, brpught the woman into the case to fool the police to make his death appear as though murder had been done. De tective Cline was to hold a confer ence with Coroner Nance to deter mine what the next step shall b and whether an Inquest should be conducted. A second phase of the case re mains to be uncovered. Did' Boge carry heavy life insurance, with some one dear to him the benefi ciary? Had he quarreled with a sweetheart and morbidly sought to wound her by becoming the. central figure in an amazing death mys tery? Or did he, tired of the world, seek to leave it in a eardonic mood with a v'sion of the hot haste of the police to find his murderer? All these questions were being asked by the police, "who will con sider the case not fully rounded out until they are answered. Lnnck (or Two Ordered. Boge, the son of Edward Boge, rancher of Hillsboro, Or., was be lieved to have come to Los Angeles last Thursday by boat. He spent some of his time with relatives, said the police, and engaged the room at the hotel only yesterday morning, telling the clerk his "wife" would arrive later with the luggage. He also requested that she be sent to the room immediately upon her arrival. : It was 1 o'clock when Boge called the service department of the hotel and ordered a luncheon for two. An hour later Boge stumbled into the hallway, crying "I believe I have been poisoned," and with those words he fell into the arms of James Hirst, a houseman. . Dr. J. Marvin Williams and Roy Emory, assistant hotel manager, hurried to the room in response to a call, but Boge died soon after they got there. No Woman Seen In Room.

To protect the public against further raids, he said, Mayor Curley today addressed to Attorney-General Daugherty a com plaint that the price of turkeys for Thanksgiving day dinners had been artificially advanced. An investigation by the superin tendent of markets and the health commissioner, he wrote, had dis closed that a shortage of 'turkeys had been made to appear until 72 hours ago, with the result that re tail prices were set at 60 cents a pound for cold-storage birds and 80 cents a pound for fresh killed north ern turkeys. He charged that the prices were set by the so-called "big five" western packers and said that the price of corn was 30 per cent lower than last year. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28.

BIG AUDIENCE ATTENTIVE Aged ex-Premier Addresses Crowd That Packs Great Audito rium in Chicago, CHICAGO, Nov. 28. (By the As sociated Press.) Before an audi ence that packed the auditorium, Georges Ciemenceau today pleaded with America to save Franca from possible extinction. Patiently seeking to explain away the charges of militarism and Im perialism brought against his coun try the old Tiger declared that France sought only peace, but that war was being forced upon her. "If France does not get the help that she needs," he declared in emotion-laden tones, "she may perhaps disappear. Athens was a democracy, very great and very fine. But she disappeared. And if Franco wer to disappear I believe that some day the people would begin to look around and ask if something had not disappeared that had brought life to the world." The aged premier's audienoe hung on every word, interrupting him twice to drive him behind a device, which would carry his weak voles through the big house. Ha was in terrupted by frequent outbursts of applause. Ciemenceau took for his text the epitaph that he read last week on Grant's tomb in New York "Let us have peace." " ' War Wnsrd for Pacr. "Since the world has been," ha continued, "it has. always been tho feeling in every man's heart that he) Wanted peace. But General Grant, when he spoke those famous words, knew very well that before there could be peace there must be war. "It is a great pity that war is' so cruel; that It brings with it blood shed and things we hardly dare think of now. Nevertheless, that was a really beautiful and inspiring time, when men were ready to give their lives for a great cause; when they were ready to die for a world a world which represented the finest and must exquisite part of human heart and thought. "But that is done. The war is over. Peace has arisen. It is now our mission to reason with and con- vines others. We must approach autocratic power in some way or other and convince that power that it should get behind our cause, "Therefore, let opinions speak. Let us reason with each other, discuss with each other, even curse each other, if that be necessary, but step by step, through unceasing efforts, let us strive to achieve what moves the world truth, justice, liberty and right." France Waits Security. Asserting that France had con tinually been called militaristic and imperialistic, the Tiger declared he had determined to give some official figures to show why France felt that she must maintain a large army at least until she could obtain guarantees of her safety from tho United States and Great Britain. He repeated first the figures lie had previously given com;rning France's war losses in killed and wounded and in devastation of her homes, factories and mines. Then he plunged into the subject of arms and munitions which he declared had been hidden away iu Germany for the next war. "I have said, on very good author ity and for this I have been criti cised that almost every day in Ger many we find guns, machine guns, guns of every description," he as nerteri. "T have nuoted two or three authorities on that and I have been told it was a lie. I did not know I was lying, but if it is necessary I will bring my informants, all hon' orable gentlemen, to bear witness, and we will then know who is speaking the truth. Official Records Read. "I have written this down, and I will have the whole document printed. However, I want to read a few lines to you. This is official: "One hundred and fifty cannon, 105s; also 343 howitzers, enough to equip two army corps, have been discovered by the allied commission in Germany. This is one fact that I quoted and it was denied. Thir teen large field guns were tin earthed January 16, 1922, and 3000 of the smaller field pieces have been uncovered and marked. "Multiply that by 50 and you have some ides, of what has been found in Germany by the inter-allied com mission since July, 1921. The Ger mans have been getting this largu amount of armament, don't you think, for the purpose of destroying us. It certainly is not for any peace ful operation. "Their ' finances have been de- iCancluded on Page i, Column 1.).
