NICE, Franco, Nov. 25 (Delayed).?
Eleutherios Venizelos, formerly Pre- ;
...er of Greece, in an interview here
to-night on his arrival from Athens, j
aid that he and his friends were not
enemies of the royal dynasty in Greece. I
?"he ex-Premier expressed the hope
?hat in case Prince Paul did not take i
?he throne Constantine's eldest son, i
George, would accept it.
"They are young men, careless in
;-peech, perhaps, but they are not com- i
mirted by any guilty act," he said.
?Constantine, on the contrary, has sold j
his soul once and for all to Germany.
It is impossible for Serbia to remain
?"riends with Greece, remembering how
r.fter the treacherous Bulgarian attack
?n 191 .^ Constantine sent for Passarof,
the Bulgarian Minister, and promised ?
him that not a single Greek soldier ?
snould t?ke up arms in support of
Serbia. ,
"The Greek people have not forgot- ;
?.en either how, when thirty thousand I
lisarmed Serbian soldiers begged to |
be allowed to enter Greek territory ;
.ir.d escape massacre at the hands of i
:ha Bulgir'ans, Constantino, who had I
signed the alliance with Serbia, re
fused to let them come, and sent them
back to their death.
Spies Decorated
"As for the Allies, they have not
forgotten that notorious German
spies, Buch as Captain Liodis, were
decorated by Constantine's own hand, j
and others were safely conducted by |
iiim to Sal?nica in disguise.
"My poor country was obliged to !
:jffer military service Ions after the
war was over. For two years after the
Allied armies had returned sifely to [
?.heir homes our soldiers were still
fighting savage enemies. 1 regarded
these wars as necessary to assure the
future position of Greece among the
nations, and believed that no sacrifice
was too great to assure Hellenism,
after centuries of humiliation, of tak
?ng its place on the coast of Asia
Minor, in the Balkans and in the
?Egean and Black seas.
"I may be mistaken, but I am con
vinced that no government and no
r ??.- <n Greece can follow out any
; '.icy other than mine without betray?
ing the country. It would have been
. i;uesti n of weeks, perhaps of one
day, and 1 would have reduced the
tr mobilized army. It was
necessary first to find out whether
the A'lies needed our help to defeat
Must ;?*?. . Kemal and his Nationalist
organisation and to he'p the Ottoman
:ov rnment establish its power
:'.. gho'it Turkey.
"The Turks, the Bulgarians and be
'-<: ti :m the Germans, are our dan?
;?.: ? - enemies. Constantine ?asks for
hi; cite, but a large part of the
a-my n rainst him. He wishes to be
King of ai! the Creeks. It is impos
G.ceks Tired of Fighting
"Mat .' my countrymen have told
? - ?'- t t'-.ey voted against mo simply
ont f the continued mobiliza?
tion of the troops and not because
they .van* Constantine back. They
are *:-.-; of fighting, having been at
it ?'nee '912."
At suggestions that his country
showed ingratitude, Venizelos inter?
rupted and said: "Don't speak of grati?
tude I have not worked to be praised
and "honored. I can't think of the
future for I am tired. But if my
country wants me I have always the
strength to give her my service."
ATHEN?, Nov. 26 (By The Asso?
ciated Press). ? Serbia, it <s stated here,
ntends to break off her alliance with
the Greeks if ex-King Constantine re?
turns to the throne. She is said to
be already preparing to keep Northern
Albania by arrangement with the Ital
.ar.s, the Albanians being permitted to
move their frontiers south to include
Greek Epirua.

John Reed Urged
Union of Negroes
In U.S. With Reds!
Told Bolsheviki Section of
Colored RaoeWas Carry ing
On Propaganda for Armed
Revolt Against the Whites
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.?Union of
the American negroes with the radical
elements of all nations to further the
cuse of world Sovietism was urged
before the Moscow meeting of the Com?
munist Internationale by the late John
Reed, American radical and magazine
writer, according to the text of his
speech received here in official dis?
patches from Russia. L?nine and
Trotzky also spoke at the same meet
?ing.
Describing the position of the negro
; in the United States, especially in the
! southern states, as terrible, Reed de
; clared the negro offered a two-fold
I opportunity to the spread of Commun?
ism in this country: rirst, a strong
race and social movement, and second,
: a strong proletarian movement. Race
! consciousness had steadily increased
among the negroes, he said. "A cer
r tain section of them are now carrying
on a propaganda in favor of arme.d
; revolt against the whites and Social?
istic ideas are rapidly developing
among the' blacks employed in indus?
trial establishments," Reed asserted.
\\ants Both Races in Same Unions
White and negro 'abor in bot ? the
northern and southern parts of the
country must be joined in common
labor unions, Reed proposed as the
quickest way to destroy race prejudice
? and develop class solidarity. Until re?
cently negroes were not admitted to
; members1;ip in the majority of unions,
which comprise the American Federa?
tion of Labor, he said.
"The Communists must not, however I
stand aloof from the negro movement
for social and political equality, which j
is developing so rapidly at the pr?s-'
ent time among the negro masses,"
Reed told the meeting. "Communists
must avail themselves of this move- ]
ment ir. order to prove the emptiness :
of bourgeoisie equa ity and the necessi- '
ty for a social revolution, not only to i
liberate all laborers from slavery" but
also as being the only effective means
of liberating the oppressed negro peo- I
pie."
Tells of Negroes in South
Describing the status of the negro|
n America Reed asserted that, despite ;
their constitutional rio;ht to the bal?
lot, ?n the Southern states negroes !
were killed if they dared to exercise!
this right, and that the use of separate !
r'-h i s, hotels and theaters existed in
all parts of the country.
"This separation of the negro from ?
the whi'e is called the Jim Crow sys-j
tnm, and the clergy of the Southern j
churches teach that there is also a |
heaven where the Jim Crow system is i
in operation," Reed declared.
Organization of the foreign labor in ''
the United States for revolt and the
coordination of radicalism in North
and South America into a single move?
ment w^s advocated at the same meet?

Communist Party of America, accord?
ing to the dispatches.
Wife Denied Separation

cision of Justice Morschauser, of the

Col. Roosevelt's
Grave Is Visited
By 1,500 Scouts
Picked Troops From New
York, Connecticut, New j
Jersey Strew Flowers and
Pay Impressive Tribute
Burnett Delivers Address
Beseeches Youths to Emulate:
Late President in Standing
Stanchly for America First!
Boy Scouts from greater New York, i
Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and from ;
Connecticut, New Jersey and upstate, i
took part yesterday in the First Roose- !
velt Memorial Pilgrimage to the grave ?
of the former President at Oyter Bay. j
There were about 1,500 of th^ Scouts,
representing ten divisions o' the na?
tional organization, who traveled to
the grave in trucks and motor busses, 1
and each placed a flower on it.
It was one of the largest assemblies
of picked ScoutA? ever held. Daniel ,
Carter Beard, national scout commis- :
sioner, was in charge of the D.lgrimage,
and while the Scouts stood at atten- !
tion he laid a wreath or, the grave. 1
Bugles blown by the Scouts preceded ;
an address by Theodore E. Burnett, in j
which he appealed to them to conse?
crate themselves to the ideals of Amer?
icanism presented to them In the life ;
and career of the former President. He
said:
"In coming down here to-day at the
very kind invitation of tloU pel and
Mrs. Roosevelt, you are the first and j
only organization of your kind to have i
such a privilege and honor conferred ?
upon you.
Urge? They Fight Unrest
| "As 1 look into your faces, I am !
i wondering if you realize what 't meant
to be so privileged and honored to be
here on this ground, consecrated by
one of God's real noblemen, the world's
greatest democrat and America's fore?
most present day son. I want you to
know this great man better.
"I want you to go out and preach
the Rooseveltian doctrine to the world
to ward off Bolshevist unrest, to pla?
cate labor, to keep capital amenable
to reason, to preserve industrial peace;
to act as emissaries, as missionaries,
to scatter and diffuse that practical
Rooseveltian religion among all men
of all creeds, color or race; to stamp
out once and for all Bolshevism, the
same as the American Legion is doing.
"I would not be doing the square
thing either by you or by him who
sleeps here if I simply ran over a few
thrilling experiences of this br?ive
man's life, all of which you, through
i your Boy Scouts' history and Boys'
1 Life of Roosevelt, are already fully
acquainted with. He was the biggest Boy
Scout we ever had in public life. There
isn't a side to your life as a Scout that
he didn't practice in his larger, fuller
? public service. His direct manner,
; sometimes of speech, sometimes of ac
; tion, left you with no possible doubt as
i to just where he stood on this or that
' issue, for he. was not given to speak
j ing in that insiduously dangerous and
| evasively seductive way, but rather in
; that free, open-hearted, forceful way
' that left no room in the minds or
i hearts of his people as to just what he
| meant."
Pleads for Americanism
Denouncing present-day tendencies
which are the antitheses of American?
ism, he asked the Scouts to dedicate
themselves then and there to combat?
ing them, and added:
"You fellows will see service, league
or no league, unless we, as a nation,
are prepared to resent an insult to
protect our resources. Keep your?
selves hard and in fighting trim; don't
be misled, be practical. A League of Na?
tions or an association of nations or
any such agreement, no matter by what
name, is as worthless as the paper it
is written on unless backed by that
force which commands a wholesome re?
spect for that force."
After the ceremonies at the grave the
Scouts were guests at a reception given
by Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt at Saga?
more Hill.

I Urges 3-Day Pr?ss Holiday
London Newspaper Suggests All

\ Copyright, 1020, New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, Nov. 20. The Evening
! Standard to-night appeals to other
; newspapers in London to join in a
' three-day suspension of publication at
; Christmas time.
"In order that those* employed upon
newspapers and in their distribution
should have a real Christmas holiday."
! the paper says, "we. have the pleasure
of .. iggcsting that there be no publi?
cation of newspapers on Christmas
Day, on Sunday, December Llo, and on
Boxing D.'y, December 27."
The newspapers never publish on
Boxing Day, for that sports holiday
has been observed in recent years al?
most as widely as Christmas, but a
throe-day suspensi?n of publication
would be unique in the history of Brit?
ish journalism.

Man Found Guilty
O? Manslaughter ?
In Whisky Deaths!
Carmen Lizenziata was convicted of
? manslaughter :ast night In the Su-i
preme Court, Brooklyn, for his part in '
disguising stolen wood alcohol as
whisky and selling it in New England
eleven months ago, where it caused
about one hundred deaths. One of his
accomplices, John Romanelli, who was
convicted of grand larceny, was sen?
tenced in the same court yesterday to
r.ot less than three and a half years
tior mure than seven years in Sing
Sing.
Lizenziata may get from ten to twen?
ty years. Ho wi 1 be sentenced Wednes?
day. His conviction is said to be the
fir ? in a case in which the death re?
sulting from the defendant's act oc?
curred in another state than that se?
lected for the trial. He was found
I guilty of causing the death of John
Kanl i. Kama died in Chicopee Falls,
Mass., alter drinking the wood alcohol
?revota go.
Both Lizenziata and Romanelli are
charged with murder in Massachusetts,
but ail attempts to extradite them
failed, as they were able to prove that
they were not in that state when the
: crime was comm tted. The same de?
fense was attempted at Lizenziata'e
trial in the Supreme Court, his at?
torney asserting that the court was
without jurisdiction.
Samuel Saleeby, accused of acting
with Lizenziata and Romanelli in the
theft and distribut on of the wood al?
cohol, is awaiting trial on a charge of
manslaughter. He formerly was a
druggist. Romanelli was an under
taker in Brooklyn and Lizenziata had
a wine and grocery shop in Mott
Street, Manhattan.
Before sentence was imposed upon
; Romanelli, Herbert Warbasse, Assist?
ant District Attorney, informed the
court that the pr soner had made a
complete, confession and offered as
sistance in the prosecution of his ac
complice. It was due to this offer of
assistance, Justice Kapper said, and not
to his previous good reputation nor
his kindness to his thirteen children,
that Romanelli escaped the max mum
penalty o from five to ten years.
Doctor Fights
Razor Battle
Over Nurse
(Continued Tro-n nag? one)
Ings with the razor, there was no doubt '
in the mind of any one within a couple
of floors of the doctor's room at the i
Hotel Albert that there was a fierce ?
struggle on in the immediate vicinity. ?
Frantic inquiries came over the wires
to the hotel switchboard and guests be?
gan to gather in the corridor outside
the room whence came the sound of
splintering wood and g'ass, of hurtling
bodies and gasping grunts of strug?
gling men. A guest in an adjoining
room localized the disturbance so defi?
nitely over the telephone that E D.
Fowler, manager of the hotel, who had ?
been at a loss where to start his trotble
hunt, set out for the sixth floor with
ail speed.
Burkhardt Collapses on Bed
He opened the door of Dr. McElroy's i
room just as Burkhardt collapsed on
the bed, with three deep wounds in his
hroat. Dr. McElroy, daubed with
crimson, his collar off and his shirt
torn to ribbons, stood in the center of
the wrecked room with the razor in
his hand.
"What does all this mean?" asked'
Mr. Fowler.
"I'm going to kill that guy!" the
physician answered in tones shrill
with passion and exertion, according
to Mr. Fowler. "He tried to take my
life."
"Did you do this?" asked Mr. Fowler,
pointing to the man outstretched o:; i
the bed.
"I'm here to tell the world I cut
him," was the reply the manager said
he got to this question. "If I'd had
a gun I'd have killed him. It was his
\ dife or mine."
Dr. Thum, the hotel physician v.l.o
had accompanied the manager upstairs.
was busy with Burkhardt. Mr. Fowler
I quickly shut the door in i'm faces of
i the curious throng in the corridor and
endeavored to calm Dr. McElroy. He
had just started at this task when De
1 tective Trabucci and Patrolman Roth,
i of the Mercer Street police station, who
; had been summoned by a hotci em?
ployee, entered the room. They called
i an ambulance and Burkhardt was taken
to the hospital.
Before he was removed Trabucci
showed him the razor and. asked if it
; was his. With all t' e strength that
remained in him Burkhardt denied
ownership of the weapon. In husky
? tones he told the story of the nurse
? in whost interests he said he had come
': to the room of a man who was a stran?
ger to him, but whom he recognized
at once from the young woman's de
; scription.
For his part, McElroy asserted that
! he d'd not know the young woman or
? Burkhardt either, and that the latter
i had no reason whatever for his as
I suuit upon him. The razor was Burk
hardt's, he insisted.
As the stories of the two men were
,so at variance as to which was the
1 original offender the police entered a
j ch-'rire against each of them on the
other's complaint and Dr. McElroy vas
locked up at the Mercer Street police
station as soon as his wounds had be?n
washed and he had put on some clothes.
He has been staying at the hotel for
the last three months.

of Washington, chairman of the com?
mittee, sa.d to-day. ?expiration on

makes it imperative that action be

If tue * immigration biil is not cn

to suspend immigration until the mat?

probably a*, a special session, which
Congressional leaders expo", to follow
the inaug ?ration of President Harding.
The passport law, whicn is .serving
as a partial check to the influx of

' After that, Mr. Johns n said, it will

In the belief that the "open-shop" crusade is intended to undo everything union labor lias
accomplished and to "feudalize America," the heads of the American Federation of Labor are
making war plans. These labor leaders agree "that a united front must be presented to these
attacks, and that every unwarranted attempt to reduce wages and working conditions to prewar
levels must be resisted with every legitimate weapon." Thus, as the Baltimore Sun notes, labor
and capital are lining up for a finish fight. The leading business interests "will bargain collec?
tively with labor only when forced to do so" and "a concentrated campaign of the employers'
interests already has been launched against organized labor on the reaffirmation of the 'open sbop'
principle and on the stand that wages must be reduced as part of the process of deflation. '
The labor situation is probably the biggest problem that confronts the great mass of the
American peo; k* to-day, and as this article in the "DIGEST" this weck -November 27th?
presents opinions from all sides, it will be read closely.
