TROOPS REVOLT AT
2,000 Greek Soldiers Draft
Proclamation Dropped
From Planes
ATHENS, Oct. 22.—Some 2,000 men,
led by the royalist General Metaxas,
have revolted against the- military
government of Premier Gonatae.
The proclamation announcing the
revolution, signed by the Venesellst
Generals Leonardopolos and Garga
lis. and Colonel Girae, was pub
lished this morning in the opposition
newspapers and also scattered over
the capital from an airplane.
The military government imme
diately took measures to quell the
revolt, which in government circles
is declared to be of no great impor
tance. Some aretts were made dur
ing the day and it was reported this
afternoon that the revels had boon
dispersed. Martial law was declared
by Colonel Plastims.
The police confiscate the news
papers which printed the proclama
tion of the revolt, which it is rumor
ed here is receiving eupport from
abroad. *
An encounter occurred today at
Chalcis between mutineers and regu
lar troops but everything is quiet
in Athens and at Salonika
The generals who are loading the
outbreak no longer are on the active
list of tho army. In some quarters
they are represented as leading the
movement with the objective of mis
leading the Greekj army. The revolt
had us its object the bringing about
of tho resignation of tho present
revolution, in order that strict im
partiality would bo shown the voters
at the approaching elections.
It is said that the government,
following the example set by the mu
tineers, purposes to shower Athens
with a proclamation from airplanes.
