Greece Starts Evacuation of
Bulgaria After Naval Threat
Before Athens Both

League of Nations
ATHENS, Oct. 27. (A. P.) The
Greek government today ordered the
prompt evacuation of Bulgarian terri
tory by ItR forces. The movement to
withdraw the Greek frontier guard
to their former posts has bef'iin:
PARIS, Oct. 27. (A. P.) A navul
demonstration before Athens Is n
possible League of Nations move
should the government of premier
league council's decision that It must
cease all hostilities and remove nil
Greek forces from Bulgarian soil.
The council hopes and believes that
the Greek government will accept the
decision, but it was learned In
authoritative circles today that the
advisability of a naval blockade has
already been discussed privately by
the council.
Although M. Carapanos, the Greek
minister, told the council today that
both Greece and Bulgaria had reach
ed a direct accord through the good
offices of Rumania, to suspend host!)

the Bulgarian representatives de
clared , they had. no Information of
this report.
Indeed M. Morloff, speaking for the
Sofia government. Informed the coun
cil that a direct entente with Greece"
was , utterly impossible because of
Greece's persistent refusal to listen to
Bulgaria's repeated offers-to appoint
a joint commission io inquire lnttrlhe
border trouble.', " ".
" . Mi Morloff said the latest dispatch
from Sofia showed that up to yester
day the Bulgarian losses were 48
killed or woimde'd. Of these 2C were
soldiers and 22 civilians, men and
women. There was the. -probability
of other unknown victims.' He 'added,
that independently of any penalties
which the council might apply to
Greece for her "grave blow at inter
national peace," and violation of her
league obligations, complete repara
tion should be accorded Bulgaria fur
tbe damages to persons and property
and all .prisoners should he immedi
ately released. , ' ' '

between .400 and B00 meters (roughly

'fie. admitted that the fireeks hud
occupied Bulgaria to a. depth of eight

plained that this was the result of a
turning movement carried out to pre
vent a frontal attack by the Bulgar-
laus. - I
.. ".Moreover, ne aauea, we wanieu
ta occupy strategic points."
Both the Greek nnd Bulgarlun
spokesmen charged that responsibil
ity for the conflict- rested on the
shoulders of the other country, and
Bulgaria, like Greece, demanded re
paration.' '
TJie council adjourned until II
iftlook tomorrow morning to nwnit
advices whether the Athens and Sofia
governments had ordered mutual
evacuation within the 24 hours laid
down by the- council's edict of Inst

INHERITANCE
TAX REPEAL
President Feels Too Much of
Burden on States Believes
They Should Build Highways
Alone Against Centraliza
tion of Authority ,; -, : '' V
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. (A.. P.)
President Coolidge sees much good
behind the present wide spread aglta
tion. against the centralization of
authority la Washington.
But he feels that if legislation like
the federal inheritance tax in re
pealed, leaving that field open to the
states, such a course will Impose upon
the state governments a heavy respon
sibility for carrying out the functions
thus given them.
An outline of the president's views
made available today at the White
House, disclosed that he believes it
would be preferable to have the states
assume many functions of govern
ment that are now carried out In co
operation with the federal govern
ment. .
1 Recent visits to the capital of sev
I eral states governors on taxation
! matters have been closely observed by
Mr. Coolidge, who views their appeals
for repeal of the federal Inheritance
tuxes as a step In line with Increasing
other functions ot state governments.
One of these functions which he be
lieves could be carried out to a much
larger extent by the states is In high
way construction. He appreciates
that a definite policy could not be laid
down in this matter aa In many states
tbe population is scattered over a
large territory, which entails difficul
ties not encountered by eastern and
! mid western states, which are more
thickly settled. . .
t In this connection the federal" gov
ehiment would of necessity' "make
allowances to states in which are. lo
cated large tracts of the public domain
as well as those of a small population.
Rut In general It Is the program of
the administration' to encourage high-
way development by the states rather
than a continuation of Its promotion
from Washington. '
