The Negro Is In St. Luke's Hospitalleday gerleuslv Injured, and thn auto-mobile Is riddled with bullet holes asthe result of the battle between Brownand the bandits.
Brown, nltheugh wounded twice nntlunarmed, chased the bnndlts for merethen a mile before going te the hospital.
Miss Breyer had gene te the Hippiehome enrly last evening te attend a so-
cial function and had left Instructions tethe chauffeur te return for her nt 10 :30o'clock.
Bandits In Anether CarJust ns he drove un te the house and
left his machine te ring the bell for MlsUreyer, another automobile pulledalongside the Breyer car. Three menleaped Inte it from ihe ether ear. Tweether bandits remnined rented In thecar in which they drove up.
Brown, ecclntf the attempt te makeoff with the car, and hanring the purr;of his meter as the bandits started It,ran from the perch nnd sprang uponthe nearest of the three bnndlts, just intime te prevent the Inttcr from drawinghis revolver. At the moment anotherof the men struck him ever the head.
The two bnndlts who had remainedIn their car joined in the bnttlc. Brownfought desperately. He knocked downone bnndit and bit nnether a terrificblew which sent him staggering againstthe side of the automobile.
Enraged, the bandits drew their pis-tols nnd began firing. Twe shots struckthe chnuffpur, one in the left arm andnnether in the left side, near the heart.Five ether bullets hit the nutoinebllc.
Guests Appear, Bandits FleeGuests nt the Hippie party, including1
Miss Brtver, heard 'he sheU njjjj riute the front doer. Tlmlmnilits, 'still"sheeting, scrambled Inte their car unddrove en Twelfth street te Rocklandrend, then down that read.
Brown jumped Inte the Breyer earnnd chased them for mom than a tulleuntil he was compelled te give up thepursuit because of wenkness from painnnd less of blend. Then he drove teSt. Luke's Hospital and asked fortreatment.
This morning It was said at the hos-pital that his wounds were serious, butthat he had a geed chance of recovery.
Police of the Brnnchtewn stationwere notified of the attempted robberyand the bnttlc which followed It by Mr.Hippie. Motorcycle police took up thesearch and filers were tent te nil sta-tion houses throughout the city nndnearby points te be en the lookout forthe bandits, but no trace could be foundof them aft,er Brown wns forced tegive up his chase.
Miss Breyer's father commended theNegro's bravery In lighting the bandits.
"I have found Brown te lie a line,steady man," he snld. "lie is net thekind of man that bandits would havean easy time overcoming, cither, butI de net think lie should have placedhis life in jeopardy the way he did justte save an nutomebile. When he sawthem get into the machine, he shouldhave let them go ahead nnd take it.Five tinned men are mere than encman. unarmed, should attempt tetackle."

Covvrteht. 101, bv Public Lalatr Compos)Washington, Sept. 27. The State
Deportment hns before it some irffermnlproposals from Belgium with regard tethe calling of nn economic conferenceIn Ktuope. Ne date has been set by Bel-glu-
nltheugh the month of Decemberlinn hppn HOffiresterl.
It is genernlly expected here that Ifthe subjects te be discussed nt such nconference arc sufficiently limited theUnited States will be renresentcd. Theadministration's position, ns stated atthe While Heuse, Is. that this countrywould take pnrt in such nn Internationalmeeting "nt the proper time."
This country has all along Inclinedtewnrd an economic conference. Itwould hnvc taken pnrt nt Genea If thatcongress had been limited te the con-sideration of business, and It has recently proposed the sending of aneconomic commission te Russin. Planseven went se for In this case that thepersonnel of the commission was vir-tually decided udeu, it being understoodthat Secretnry Hoever was te head It.
Debts Cancellation BarredMeanwhile Theodere E. Burten, who
Is a member of the Debt-Fundin- g Com-mission, is practically serving noticeupon Europe thut the question of can-celling debts se fnr as this country isconcerned, ennnet come up nt any suchconference. In his nddrcss in Londenyesterday he pronounced the inter-allie- d
debts sacred.Ne extravagant expectations are en-
tertained here about the results of sucha conference. This country's entranceInte it and Secretary Hughes' pro-nouncement upon the Far Eastern ques-tion yesterday cannot be regarded nslndicnting that the United States Isturning its eyes tewnrd Europe oncemere.
Mr. Hughes' dcclnrntien of sympnthywith thn English attitude tewnrd Tur-key nnd the keeping open of the Dnr-dnncll-
nnd wnters connected with itrepresents the utmost of this country'sparticipation In the Near East. Thestatement wns mnde in response te pres-sure from church und missionary so-cieties' Interested in the Near East,which desire te have this country exer-cise its influence in that quurter undtake pnrt In the conference for the ut
of the Turkish question.Tendency Toward Isolation
Technically we have no place in Micha conference. Thn British regard It asa contluunnce of the negotiations whichled te the Treaty of Sevres, which et-tl-
the war ngalust Turkey. TheUnited Stntcs, In response te churchpressure, never declared war en Tur-key, and has no place In the makingof peace.
The whole tendency is toward Isola-tion en the part of this country andtoward the discrediting of international
It Is only n symptom ofthe Stnte of the public mind thnt theDemocratic managers decided te keepthe League of Nntieim out of the com-ing rampuign. Only Wil-eon is dissatisfied with this decision ofthe Democrats, nnd even he has beennble te restrnin himself thus fnr utleast from Issuing a statement criticis-ing his party leaders such a statementhas been expected from him.
Nothing has been done mere te shnkethe hope here In International confer-ences than the fnllure of the treatiesand agreements made at the Washing-ton Conference last yenr. Great con-cern Is felt tn the State Departmentever the delay of Frnnce te net uponthese trenties which hns prevented thescrapping of the newer nnd mere use-ful worships te be dlscnrded under thedisarmament treaty.
France is playing the role with re-n- rd
te thnt conference which we'ayed with regnrd te thn Pnrls Peace
(' iference and the League of Nations.And France's fnllure te ratify thetrenties arising from it will wreck themjust as our failure te accept the Leagueof Nntiens wrecked the League.
League of Nations PowerlessInternational hns one
long list of failures since, the war, TheParis Peace Conference set up a ieacetreaty which has prevented Europe fromnrriving nt nnythlug that leeks likepermnncnt nnd ii Lenguc of Nationsthat is powerless in emergencies suchuh thnt new existing in the Nenr East.
The conference en the Nenr Enst di-

The Supreme Council of the nllled na-tions perished unwept after a couple ofears' ineptitude.The Washington Conference, from
which great thingH were expected, mnyend with ns little te Its credit as theParis Conference.
The (Senen Conference and the HagueConference broke up without even thepretence of an agreement.

liu Asteciated PrtaaLonden, Sept. 27. The abdication
of King Constantine of Greece isaccepted as an accomplished fact illthe highest official quarters here.
This is based en a message froma high diplomatic official at Athenswhich is understood te state that hehnd received information of thsKing's abdication and believed theinformation te be true, although hwas unable te confirm it owing tethe unsettled conditions attendingthe revolutionary movement.
Constantine AbdicatesAdvices from prltate Beurces tend tconfirm the fact thut the Greek king haaabdicated. A lie liter dispatch fromAthens, received shortly before 7 o'clockthis evening, states positively the King?hns given up his throne.
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch fromAthens received nbeut the same time)
said it wus affirmed that the King had"decided te ngrcc te the demands of thsrevolutionaries. "
An earlier Central News dipntchfro the Greek capital said the KingMgned the abdication decree withoutrenenntlen.
All Greece K In the grip of the nry
movement which has resulted,in the downfall of the Government
At least pnrt of the navy hns genoagainst the Government and severalwarships nnd transports manned byrevolutionaries are believed te be ndvnnclng en the capital from the AegeanIslnnds, where the revolt originated.
Troops In MutinyThe revolutionary movement Is
headed by an officer named Gonatas,variously described as a general and acolonel, who erganised the soldier enthe Islands of Mitylene and Chies, nf;the Smyrna cenM. te which they wersremoved following their crushing defeat
j by the Turkish Nationalists. An orderfor the demobilization of thete troopsis said te hne the Immediate caiicc of,
their mutiny.The revolt quickly spieud te the nnvjr
nnd ninny of the warships refused teanswer queries sent out by the Ad-miralty. An airplane nppenred ever?Athens nnd sheweicd the city withpamphlet, signed by Genatns nnd
the resignation of the Gov-ernment 11 ml the abdication of the king.This created turmoil in the capital,and crowds surged through the streetsnnd about the public buildings. Thena number of the wnr vessels sturtcd forAthens
A large number et troops mutinied InSulenikl, but this development Is saidte have taken thn form of u militarymovement organized in Thracu ugainstthe Turks,
Official circles here believe formerPremier Venlzeles has had no part inthe revolt llecause of his importance,however, and Ills large personal fol-lowing III Greece, it is pointed out thathe will hardly be nble te avoid IlgurlnrIn the subsequent developments.
The Greek revolutionaries announcethnt every officer of the fleet nnd mem-bers of the crews nre wholly with them,according te a Central News dispatchfrom Athens. The revolutionary mevs-tne- nt
is making headway in all direc-tions.
Ne official statement ban been Issued,but It Is understood that the retiringCabinet drew up a manifesto addressedte the people.
Thus fur the revolution hns beenbloodless, despite the excitement of thepeople, who were surging through thestreets nnd gathering outside the pub-lic buildings.
One European news ngenry reportsthe abdication of King Constantine Infuer ' Crown Prince Geerge, but hisIs illsceuiited by direct advices from theAssociated Press correspondent, whoquotes the King as stating cutcgerlcalythat he will stick te the throne untilhis people have told him they no longerwant him.
