PRINCE ANDKEW Of GREECE TO BE COURHS ARTIALED AT ATHENS ; Britain Severed Diplomatic Relations With Greece as a Pro- test Against the Execution of Ministers Whose Policy in Anatolian War Proved a Failure. A despatch from Athena says: Inquiry into the responsibility for the[ Anatolian disaster continues, and the arret of General Papcm'.ag and other j officials was due to new evidence said to have been found. The Commission of Inquiry has for- warded the report of its invest. 'ga-1 tions into the actions of Prince An-| drew during the campaign to the Revolutionary Committee, which, in! conjunction with the Greek Govern-; ment, will make arrangements for hia j trial. The following official statement haa been issued: "General Dousmanis, former Chief of the General Staff, and General Valettas, former Chief of Staff in Asia Minor, have been arrested, and a warrant has been issued for the arrest of General Papouias, former Commander-in-Chief of the army in Asia Minor. "The trial of Prince Andrew (brtv 1 ther of former King Constantino) ,> who commanded an army corps at the time of the Sakaria operations, begins nert week." A despatch from London says: The Brkis-h are much disturbed over the further Greek arrests, iitii-j eating that tha Greeks are still un-j repentant for their barbarous execu- tion recently of former Ministers, and the British are particularly worried by news that Priru'e Andrew is to be tried to a few days. Answering Mr. Hardie, a Labor! man, In the House of Commons on| Thursday, Prime Minister Bonar Law! aid the British Government had urg- ed the Greek Government not to per-] mit the executions, and warned that' if this step was taken. Great Britain' would withdraw its representative. In taking this action the British Govern- ment was actuated by the general con- sideration that it was contrary to the practice of civilized nations to put to death Ministers who had fallen on ac- count of the failure of their policy.

Imperial Conference Called for Next Year IRISH REBE1S FACE FIRING SQUAD" AT PORTOBELLO BARRACKS A despatch from London says: In the matter of an Imperial conference, Premier Bonar Law, in the House of , Commons on Thursday, ex- pressed the hope that it would be found convenient for all concerned to hold a meeting next year. He said invitations had not yet been issued. Re- garding the time of the gather- ing, he felt that the date must depend partly on whether it is decided to hold an Imperial economic conference distinct from and before the regular Imperial conference. j Extension Course in Export Trade. A despatch from Dublin says: Three young men faced firing squads on Thursday. So far, eight prisoners have been executed at the order of the military court. There was a dramatic scene ;n Par- liament on Thursday night over the death of the youths, who were Joseph Spconer, Patrick Farreily and John Murphy. First, Labor and Independ- ent deputies rose and criticized the se.-recy of the military courts. They derrumded publicity for the trials. j Defence Minister Mulcahy. in ans- wer, recited the circumstances of the arrests. The young men were resi- dents of the workers' district in the city. They were arrested a mrnth ago after an alleged attempt to de- ] stroy Oriel House. Spooner, it was alleged, had a revolver; Farreily, a cahy explained, had miscarried be- cause six of the men in the piot d:- cbeyed orders, bomb, and Murphy, two bombs. Mulcahey quoted from a document, which, he said, was found on the men. The documents revealed complete plans for the blowing up of the build- iivg and its occupants. The plans, Mul- These young men executed Thurs- day were shot at Portobelio Barracks. Many other prisoners are under trial in the military courts and there may be more executions. Absolute quiet- ness prevails in Dublin these nights, but nevertheless there is uneasiness among the people, bemuse of the fear of an attempt at a yrrand coup.

Mass.,' aay^: The Harvard Observatory has received word by cable of the discov- ery of a comet by Skjellerup, the South American astronomer, at Cape Town, on November 26. The comet is described as faint. The position given was in the constellation of Crater. Tolescojrfc photographs taken at Hat-van! after the receipt of the cablegram show the comet to be brighter than Baiade'g comet, which was recently discovered, and to be moving more rapidly. It is going south-east at a rate of between three and four diameters of the moon a day. A carload of celery has been ship- j ped from Armstrong, B C., to Toronto.

The Natural Resources Intelli- gence Service of the Department of the Interior says: Federal plans for a chain of wireless stations extending rijrht into the Arctic circle are being completed. The stations will be operated by the Dominion Govern- ment, with the primary purpose of keeping its various officials in touch wiih one another. Six stations are planned, ftve of which will be in the Northwest Territories and another at Dawson. Th* stations on or near the Mack- enzie riw will be located at Fort Smith. Fort Resolution, Fort Simp- son, Fort Norman and Fort Mc- Pherson. They will likely be opened early in the spring, before the opening of river navigation. In view of the resumption of active oil drilling operations, the service will be of interest to those who are contemplating operations of that kind.

A despatch from Palermo says: Former King Constantine and his family have beon plunged into ceenest grief by the tragedy of the six exe- cutions at Athens. They were not only the former King's friends, but in a sense the victims of his policy. Constantine's entourage here fore- sees the eventual assassination of Venizelos as a reprisal for the deaths. The five Ministers, and one general executed, belonged to old Grecian families with clannish connections, and these, according to members of Constantine's suite, will almost cer- tainly attempt to avenge the deaths, and the material ruin caused by the confiscation cf the fortunes and lands of the men executed. The position of Prince Andrew of Greece is also a matter of concern among the royal exiles here. An ap- peal has been made To the British court for intervention on his behalf. Conscantine is now negotiating the purchase of a home near Backestow, Denmark, and will prcbably take up permanent residence there. o Forty-two thousand new auto lic- cr.st p'atei for the Province of Al- berta have been ordered! for 1923.

The central UUa of this agreement, mys tfce Hail, is that Great Britain,! the United States and Itahy will hold loof ftom the next war, leaving Ger- ! RMtr.y and Russia free to attack j FVance. The memon-andum asserts, that while Germany i* following the! Irtter cf the VereaiHea treaty regard- ; in the number of officers and men ftftowedl in her standing army, she is sending her best officers into Russia to help reorganize the Russian army. When this i* -omplihpd, says the. memorandum, ths? Russian army will; constitute skeleton to which, at aj given signal, immense numbers) of. German units can U .>-!,<.. instantly. ] German armament lirms are being transferred to Russia, it is said, where, they are putting <vut munitions in-j tended ultimately for German use. i Russian submarines and mine layers) are being plume .1 under Herman di- rection it declared. A third factor, says the Mail, is the plan of Russia to feed herself and j Germany during this proposed war,' thus escaping the effects of a naval blockade. Under this alleged bargain,! Poland, wndeh tics between Germany ami Russia, must be overrun and crushed so as to enable the two coun- tries to co-operate along a common' frontier. This war. the Mail's cor- respondent adds, is only ten year-. distant. , DESECRATING HISTORIC GROUND.
