Return is Argued
ATHENS, Sept. lO.-(Tuesday)-OT-Fears
were widely expressed
this morning that Greece is on the
brink of a new civil war. Mount
ing tension gripped the capital as
a result of a clash between re
publican army officers and mon
archists guards which broke up a
cabinet meeting.
pereft of the leadership of Gen
eral Panagiotacos, leader of the
anti-monarchist officers and com
mander of the Athens garrison,
who was bayoneted in the jaw
during the sharp skirmish on the
thfeshhold of the cabinet cham
ber, the army was ordered by
Minister of War George Kondylis
tojstay within the barracks.
But deep apprehension was felt
that the incident may set aflame
the smouldering republican forces.
The clash followed almost im
mediately upon the heels of a de
claration by Premier Panayotl
T8Idari8 acting under pressure
from Kondylis, according to re
ports abandoning his previous
stand of neutrality on the ques
tion of the restoration of former
