NEWS REVIEW OF War Between Bulzaria and Greece Is Prevented by the League’s Council. By EDWARD W. PICKARD NCE more the League of Nations has justified its existence, tioning promptly and firmly, the league council and Bulgaria to refrain from warfare, to withdraw the forces that hud vaded each other's territory and leave to the league for settlement the frontier quarrel that had brought them to actual blows and threatened to start another serious Balkan war. When the council met in Paris with M. Briand as president no time was that they must submit to its dictation. and a short time limit was set obeyance, inclined to quibble, seeking to present for and Petrich But Justify their attack on other Bulgarian towns. ultimatum There was the plain intimation that disobedience declared the council's of Greek ports.

T Rouen the French In Syria speed- ily suppressed the revolt in Damas cus promoted .by the Druses, as pre viously recounted, the circumstances of that suppression have brought forth angry protests from other Christian nations and have aroused the Moslem world almost to the point of starting a general racial and religious war. General Sarrail's troops relentlessly shelled the anclent city, destroying the Mohammedan sections and much of the Jewish section that lay between them. Between two and three thou- fand persons were killed, many of then being Christians and Jews, for sulates no warning of the bombard: ment was given except to the French. One tank, It Is sald, traversed the Called Straight, killing and wounding many before the officer In charge found out that he was on the wrong thoroughfare.

For the present Damascus itself is cowed, but the Druse rebellion is strengthened by the accession of swarms of Mohammedans who fled from the city and by the continual ralds by Bedouin bandits, It assumes importance as a part of the great Pan Islam movement that Is giving the Christian powers serious anxiety. — OL. WILLIAM MITCHELL'S trial by court martial for his criticisms of the army and mavy alt services opened in Washington with all due ceremony, and the abandoned census bureau building In which the proceed. Ings are being held was crowded with a fashionable throng that made the affair look lke an soclety function. Congressman Reld of Ulinols was Mitchell's civilian counsel, and at the outset he sprung a surprise by chal longing three members of the court on the ground that they were unfitted by “prejudice, hostility, blas and ani. mosity to the accused” fairly and Just. ly to try the colonel. Brig. Gen. A. J. Bowley and Ma). Gen. F. W. Sladen first were removed from the bench, their brother officers sustaining the challenges. Then Mr. Reid demanded that Maj. Gen. C, P.

Sum- merall, flushed with anger, sald: “In view of the bitter personal hos- tility of Colonel Mitchell toward which I here have learned of for the first time, I cannot consent to sit on this court.” The court sustained this challenge. as it had the others, and Maj. Gen. IL I. Howze succeeded to the presidency. Mr. Reld then, contesting the court's Jurisdiction and protesting Mitchell should not be tried on the charges brought, disclosed that the defense would be based on the claim that the colonel in making his critl- ine that he in- sin army and navy discipline: mutiny, fect right to talk as he did.

This he refused to do, whereupon Premier Painleve and the entire cab inet resigned. The main reason for re Jection of Calllaux’s program was his opposition to a capital levy, President Doumergue asked Painleve to form another ministry, which he did Thurs day. He continues as premier and also takes the finance portfolio. Briand remains as minister of foreign affairs and Georges Bonnot is given a new portfolio, that of minister of budget. This new cabinet tends more to the left than the former ministry. The premier tried to Induce M. Herriot, his predecessor, to form the cabinet or at least to take a place In it. but the Socialist leader declined. CONSERVATIVES regained control of the government of Nicaragua last week when Gen.

President Coolidge opened the conven. tion with an address, and Herbert Hoover and other notables were among the speakers it heard.
