ATHENS, Aug. 27. M. Housslos

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

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.

ASKED BY DANIELS
WASHINGTON, Aiur. -7. 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.'

WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 27.

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.
