Appre hension in League of Nations quar ters over the reported renewal o fighting along the Greco-Bulgarian frontier was relieved today by re ceipt of an official dispatch from Athens Klaling that despite "the Bul garian attack." the Greek govern ment hud issued definite orders Iiuh tening the evacuation of Bulgarian soil by Its troops. The Atliens government In a pre vious telegram, informed the league t bat a Bulgarian detachment on Tuesday night had attacked the Greek forces near frontier post No. 711, situated on the line from I VI I'lrh to liamna. The telegram con tinued that in. view of litis -Bulgarian aggression the military with drawal was being delayed. Later came an urgent teb'gram from Athens, timed 10:30 last night, declaring that although the Greeks hail been compelled to delay their retirement, the Greek government ""in its strong desire to conform with the decision of the league," had given clear j tint ructions to clear the .Bul garian territory despite the pres ence of armed bands.

MITCHELL'S TRIAL WILL BE RESUMED Stormy Petrel's Effort to Throw Out Case ' Before Court Martial Fails Avi ator's Attorney Flays Court and Methods Adopted Secret Session Is Held U'AKllIXO.TOX, Oct. 29. (A. P.) Colonel William Mitchell failed today In two attempts to halt the court martial proceedings against him. The court overruled successively nn objection to its Jurisdiction and an exception to the form in which the case wiis prepared. When the court re-con voncd, Colonel Morelnnd declared precedents bad established the power of the president to convene a general court martial without charges emanating from commanding officers of the accused. 1'roceduro in the present case, he assured the court, was "regulur and in uceordance with tho law." WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. (A. P.) Colonel William Mitchell's plea of Im munity from military trial on the charges pending; against him was overruled today in tho generul court niiirtlal proceedings against him. This opinion, whose effect is merely to sustain the jurisdiction of the court and make It possible to proceed with the trial, was approved by the court Itself alter a short consultation in secret. ' . ' The law officer, Colonel lilniiton Wlnship, gave his opinion after the court, the prosecution and the defense had agreed to leave the point to him, but in rendering his decision he asked that specific court approval bo given. An effort to have the court voto on that apm-oval in public was blocked by an objection by Brigadier General Frank R. McCoy, commander of the third i n fun try brigade, Kort Sum Houston, Texas, Colonel Mitchell's last station. The court then retired and took a secret vote, returning after only a short interval to announce its approval. The ruling applied specifically only to that specification ill the charges which applied to Colonel Mitcholl's first Bun Antonio Btntement criticizing the conduct of the air services, but it was in the nature of a test, and one by one tho court proceeded in rapid ortler to overrule Mitchell's objections to Its right to try him on the remain ing counts. i Reid Flays Decision. Itcprescntutlve Held of Illinois, counsel for Colonel Mitchell, then moved that all the charges ho stricken out. Ilo said the court's record failed to show that the commanding officer accused had ordered the charges against the defendant invostlgalcd or had himself Investigated the charges as areiUircd by court martial regula tions. "If Colonel Mitchell had been guilty of any offense," Mr. Held said, "it ihoiild have been charged by his com manding officer at that time Major General Rrncst Hinds, in charge of the Kighth corps area at Ban Antonio. "The record does not show that General Hinds, or lirlgadicr General Itockenbach, commanding the district of Washington, thought any crime had been committed. "Where then, does this strange power come from that stretches out over theso two commands? It docs not come from the officers under whom Colonel Mitchell served in Texas or In whose jurisdiction he Is at present." Colonel Moreland. for the prosecu tion, replied that it was not required under the court martial regulations that either General Hinds or General Kockcnhacli i actually bring the charges. "This Is a presidential court," de clared Colonel Moreland.- "There Is no requirement that I he regulations shall bo carried out explicitly, so lon-4 as Iho substance Is there." Explanation Ridiculed. ' The charges are signed by an officer In the Judge advocate general's office at Washington and Colonel Moreland said tha president had desig nated that officer to act as accuser, "as he has a right to do as commander in chief of the army and navy." The reference to the "presidential court" brought Mr. Held to his feet. "I hato to think this Is a case where necessity knows no law." he said. "What strange power Is this wo are facing? This Is an abnormal caso, , Indeed. "Von d-O't mean) toll me that the .president himself had these charges .prepared? The trial officer doesn't 'know what he says unless my ears hsve deceived me.

(A. P.) Ambassador Herrick In Paris has made representations to the French government for protection of Amer ican life and property In Damascus. Instructions for the ambassador tn make the move were forwarded" when word ot the disorders In Syria was received. The Washington govern ment also has sent two American destroyers from Gibraltar to Alexan dria, Egypt, where they are ready to proceed to Beirut should the situation require further steps to safeguard Americans and tholr property. It wnn estimated by officials here that about IHO Americans probably were in Damascus or its immediate vicinity when the revolt anairjt French authority occurred in that city last week. Reports as to damage done by the bombardment of certain quarters ot Damascus by French artillery and air planes have not disclosed the extent ot any Injury to American property. So far as' known no Americans were hurt and the representations made in Paris were of a genoial nnd precau tionary nature, as was the action of the American consul in Damascus in advising Americans to take refuge at Holrut until order had been restored.
