PANGALOS OUSTED WITHOUT WARFARE | Coundoriotis, His Predecessor, | Ksked to Return Athens, Aug. 23 (A—Theodorus Pangalos has been overthrown as dictator of Greece In a bloodless coup d'etat and General C s, once a corporal in the Greek has taken over the reins of gov ment. Moving as swiftly as did Pangalos | when last year year lhe ousted Ad- miral Coundoriotis from the provi- sional presidency of Greece and set himself up at the he: ernment, General Condy galos arrested Sunda ¥ the Island of Spetsae, where on vacation, and placed on bo: torpedo boat destroyer Perga be brought to Athens. At time all the ministers W into custody. but that after a chas way overtaken by e a P Leon and the deposed president was | taken on board and carried to Ker- atsinl. During the chase the Leon | and another warship, the Kilkis, fir- ed blank shots at the Bergamos, while hydroplanes bombed her. It is asserted that Pangalos was attempt- |/ ing to join the Greek squadron which was proceeding toward the Aegean | sea, hoping to receive its support. Announcement has been made by |} General Condylis, who is a former |, minister of war, that Admiral Coun- douriotis is the “lawful president” |: of Greece and that he has been in- vited to resume the presidency. It is the intention of General C organize a government of “na confidence.” To this end he prom- ises free elections within eight months. All the political leaders and offi- | { cers who were arrested under the Pangalos regime, charged with con- spiring against the government, have |, been released. | The new dictator announces that || General Pangalos and all those re- sponsible for the high-handed meth- | | ods of his regime will be trled by | | a commission which is to be ap-|! pointed to fix their responsibility. There were no disturbances in |4 connection with the coup. The work was begun in the early hours | | of Sunday moining and both the army and navy rallied to the stand- [ ard of General Condylis. So smoeth- | | ly did the machinery work that Sun- day In Athens was a normal one. | QP Excltement was absolutely lacking. || The general public exhibited general satisfaction over the new turn of | | events . All the military establishments, the telegraph offices and the gov- ernment departments, including the palace of the council of the presi- dency, were taken over with a ra- | pidity which gave evidence of how well General Condylis had laid his plans. Condylis personally went to the war ministry and ordered the | M arrest of General Tseroulis, the war minister. The ministers were made prisoners in their residences. It had been anticipated that Presi- dent Pangalos would fall, as there had been much dissatisfaction ex- pressed over his iron handed dic-|" tatorship. When Pangalos carried out his coup last year he showed some of the “limitless nerve” with | which he is credited as having. With | : a few adherents he ceized the main telegraph office in Athens and com- pelled the operators to send mes- sages throughout the country that he had overthrown the government. The messages demanded the sup- port of the military and naval units, and these, not realizing the true state of affairs, replied with me sages of adhcrence. These messages | were shown by Pangalos to members | of the government, who abdicated in | his favor. | No details of the capture of the | Pergamos by the Leon have been re- | ceived here. It is not known wheth- | er the destroyer offered re: | 1t seems that Pangalos had ficulty in converting the P into a ship of refuge, as Colialex, commander of the torpedo | boat flotilla, who was in charge of the craft, was one of the pillars of | | Pangalos’ policy.
