M. Housslos opposition member, raised a tumult in the chamber of deputies when be declared King Constantino never abdicated but only bad been dismissed by the entcnto powers, as proved by the fact that the act of abdication had not been proscuted to tho chamber. Premier Veniclos and other deputies left their Beats to protect M. Ilons slos from personal attacks by angry members of the majority. Later the possibility and opportune ness of establishing I a republic in Greece was discussed. M. Vcnlelos declared: "Despite the weakening of tho royal power through tho fallen king's nctlous, the government. In terpreting the feeling of the cham ber, thinks anotbor trial should bo given to tho royal Institution In C.reeco. It Is certainly Iho last ex periment we are asking. I am cer tain the Greek pcoplo and majority representatives will approve sincerely tho trial In order to make strong and sure conditions for the eventual work ing of the regime of a crowned re public." i RUSSIANS SPLIT IN FACTIONS (Continued from page 1.) owed the ruin o( the country would be inevitable. llissatisfied Wilh Kcrensky.

V 1 I I'AKIS, Aug. 27-The Gorman iin periul bureau of foreign affairs has addressed 11 note to the French pov- eriinient thru the Swiss legation here licencing General Maitrot of tin French army of insulting German of' ficer prisoners during the German offensive ut Verdun. Tho general is charged 'with calling the officers ''bandits'' and "pigs ' and with per sonally tearing off their epaulets and decorations and striking them and with Idling them on one oeens ion that he could have them shot but that they were not worth it, so he would hang them. The notcamcs three Gorman offi cers who are now at S , nnd asks the Swiss legation to rciiiest the French government to open 1111 in vestigation and punish General Mai trot. The legation is also asked to make nn independent investigation at S . If the German government, it is said, does not receive the French reply by September 7th, it will make appropriate reprisals. i General Maitrot has written to French liendciunrters that lie has never been in Verdun or even ill the Verdun region during the war. He says he might protest npainst the infamous accusation, brought without proof, but that he merely intends to be sent to S -to confront the of ficers and exact from them apologies and n written withdrawal of their charges.

Seiro tnry Daniels expects to tsubinit to congress thus week estimates of .f:).-)0,000,(100 for thu jrrout nunibrr of destroyers whii'h will make the American navy tho leader of the world in ships of that typo. j The money will be used to expand existing shipbuilding plantn and also to build additional engine nnd boiler factories as the destroyer program upon which the shipbuilding industry is now engaged represents tho full capacity of the industry. Navy designers are preparing plans for a standardized destroyer to fa cilitate the qmintity production of the most successful wcaoii against submarines. Parts of the engines will be assembled from various fac tories lit .central plants and for warded to shipvards building the hulls. Details of the number of destroyers now under construction or the num ber contemplated in the supplemental program arc withheld for military reasons. New destroyers will be delivered so rapidly beginning early next yacr that the supply of trained officers nnd men will be taxed in putting them into commission. Means for training new crows will have to be expanded proMrtionntely. The .f.'iO, 000,000 estimate, it was indicntcd to day, is a minimum nnd may have to be increased substantially.' LONDON, Aug. 2".

Ask SOUTHERN PACIFIC LINES KUHN LIKELY TO BE HEAD OF ARMY AS CHIEF OE STAFF WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 27. Who'll be the next commander-in-chief of Undo Sam's army an army that niny soon bo the biggest ever as sembled under the stars nnd stripes, and one of the most formidable in the world f Here's Washington's guess: Joseph II. Kuhn, for two years U. S. military observer in Germany. The Test of Washington's dope sheet on the army reorganization neecssitnted by Maj. Gen. ilugli Scott's retirement as chief-of-stnff next month because of the age limit is: United States coiiininndcr-in-cliief in France, John J. Pershing, with the rank of lieutenant general. Corps Commanders Generals Pey ton March, Thomas Barry and Leon ard Wood. Kuhn and Barry have been most prominently mentioned for Scott's post. Both have been assigned to take charge of sections of the new national army. Kuhn is the schol ar type of officer, and has served largely with the engineers. Barn is the fighting type. The scholar is picked as first choice, and Kuhn has the addition al advantage of knowing more nbout European war methods than any other American because of his two years of observation of the German army. In choosing corps commanders un der Pershing the war department had to take seniority into consideration. A number of major generals, includ ing Leonard Wood, nre seniors to Pershing, so they could not serve under him, unless Pershing were made a lieutenant general. As a result, Major General William A. Mann, lias been designated to command the di vision of national guardsmen to go to France next, dubbed the "Rain how Division;"' because they come from '2fl-different states. But Mann may not go, as lie reach es the retirement age next July. The youngsters among the major generals are Kuhn, who was 53 last June, and Peyton C. March, not yet 53. March hni- been designated as chief of artillery with the exjicdi tionary forces in France. and the muscles relax easily vhen toby arrives. Do not go a single night if 1th out applying it.
