LOSDQS. Nov. 14.— The tragedy
of Erskine Childers has shocked and
startled England even more than
did the death of Michael Collins
Wellwishers of the Irish free state,
of whom there are many in Lon-
don. expect that the execution of
Childers may mean the beginning of
a new hapter in the turbulent his-
tory of Ireland.
Many people in England were
shocked at the news of the execu-
tion because they knew Childers:
knew him when he bore an honored
name as a British patriot who ren-
dered his country good service in
the African war and when he was
something of a hero in the British
.--old. He was formerly employed

rios Venizelos, former premier of
Greece, and M. Stamboulisky, the
Bulgarian prime minister, faced
each other at today's session of the
near eastern rotifers nee when an
effort was made to reach*an agree-
ment on Bulgaria's claim to an out-
. let into the Aegean sea. Both men
showed great emotion.
Stamboulisky was holding out
tor the actual possession by Bul-
garia of the port of Dedeagach,
contending that in no other way
could Bulgaria be guaranteed free
commerce. Venizelos opposed this
proposal in an impassioned speech,
holding out for a free port at De-
deagatch under the control of a
mixed commission.

understanding in the treaty which
the Lausanne conference frames

WASHINGTON, Nov. 34. —-Civil
suits to recover more than $20,-
000,000 alleged by the government
to have been fraudulently expended
in the construction of camps Upton.
Jackson, Sherman and Funston
were instituted today by the de-
partment of justice against the con-
tractors who were in charge of each
project, .
The suits were said in official cir-
cls to be the initial stop in a cam-
paign at law against wartime con-
tractors who are suspected on the
basis of auditors’ reports to have
gone beyond the intent and pur-
[ pose of the authority given them
by federal departments.
Other Suit* Likely.
Additional actions are in pros-
pect. It was said at the department
of justice, as soon as complete re-
ports have been made by the spe-
cial force of auditors which has
been engaged for 15 months in an
nalyss of construction records.
Whether criminal action would be
taken in any case, it was said, will
depend to a degree upon the results
of the civil suits.
Unofficial estimates place the to-
tal which might be expected to be-
recovered from all the construc-
tion cases at between 370.000.000
and >20.000.000. In the cases filed
today the government alleged that
the Hardaway Contracting company
spent an excess of 14,500,000 in
building Camp Jackson, 8. C-; the
Thompson-Starrett company $6,-
000.000 in building Camp Upton.
N. Y.; Bentley A Sons Co. >5,000,000
at Camp Sherman, Ohio, and George
A Fuller A Co. $4,000,000 at Fort
Riley, Kans The suits were filed
at Charleston, 8 C., Brooklyn. N.
Y. Columbus, Ohio, and Topeka,
Kans., respectively. ,
Identical bills of complaint were
laid in each case, the principal ac-
cusation being that the contractor
violated a "direct and intimate re-
lationship of trust and confidence"
in executing his contract while it
was impossible, because of the ex-
isting war emergency, for the EO
ernment to exercise normal auper. ।
