Athens, Mar. 3,

The Ministerial Council has decided to reject any compromise settlement offer on the part of the rebels and President Zaimis has fully authorised General G. Condylis, the Minister for War, to handle the military situation as he sees fit.

General Condylis will have the assistance of M. Pierre Metaxas, the prominent diplomat, and M. Dousmania All civil aircraft, meanwhile, have been requisitioned and mobilised into a secondary fighting force to be used against the rebels.

Many, rebels have already been killed, following an attack by airmen on the home of the former Premier and Liberal leader, M. Venizelos, and there is fighting 'in Macedonia and Crete.

General Condylls is in supreme command of Government forces in Macedonia and Northern Greece.

Aircraft, after hombing the cruiser Averoff and other rebel warships in Souda Bay, whealed and descended upon the home of M.. Venizelos, In Canes, and from a height of only 150 feet machine- gunned the place. There were many killed and wounded.

Rebels clashed with Government forces in Eastern Crete, and the fighting has been undecisive thus far. Numerous civillana, it al known, have joined the Govern-) ment forces.

BLUEBIRD NEAR DISASTER

CAMPBELL MISSES RECORD SPEED

DARING DRIVER AWAITS BETTER CONDITIONS

Daytona, Mar. 9.

For the second time in two days Sir Malcolm. Campbell, holder of the world's record for land speed, attempted to better his own mark with the giant Blue- bird, and to-day, as yesterday, he only narrowly escaped disaster.

Just before he attempted to-day's run he said the beach seemed a little better than it was yesterday. But Lady Campbell said it was definitely worse. When- he was travelling at over 200 miles an hour yesterday, Sir Malcolm discovered his machine was afire, that the wind had torn loose the engine cover and that he was rapidly losing speed, in spite of the fact that his throttle was wide open. He fought the car to a stand- still, ending his run with wind and compression brakes full on.

The run to-day seemed as though it might be more successful. On the southward mile he increased his speed considerably over yesterday's, averaging 270.473 miles an hour, travelling over the measured mile in 13.31 seconds. His record is 273.556 miles an hour, or 13.16 seconds for the mile.

STRIKE

The kilometre speed of the Blue- bird in to-day's race along the sands was 269.509, and the time. on the kilometre was 8.30 seconds, compared to the record of 273.463

The five miles speed to-day was 240.146 miles an hour, or five miles In 64.96 seconds. The five kilo metres were covered by the Blue- bird in 43.57 seconds, which is just under the previous records.

Onlookers expected that Sir Malcolm would immediately turn and attempt a record on the northern course. But he did not. Instead, he announced that there would be no further attempt at a record made that day.
