Greek troops evacuate Bulgaria by the time set by the League of Nations, which appoints a commission of inquiry to figure out who, human or canine, started this nonsense and what compensation they should pay. Both countries have agreed in advance to accept its decision.
Bulgarian Prime Minister Aleksandar Tsankov’s brother Danoso is assassinated on the streets of Sofia. Danny T is a member of parliament but supposedly estranged from his brother and it’s unclear what this has to do with the war or anything.
Conservatives gain seats in Canada’s general elections, but without winning a parliamentary majority. Prime Minister Mackenzie King (Lib) loses his seat in York North and will have to find another one next year, but he’ll continue as prime minister anyway.
At Col. Billy Mitchell’s court-martial for violating army discipline by expressing his opinions on air defenses, the prosecution admits he was given no opportunity, as the rules require, to defend himself during the investigation stage, and there is some doubt there was such a stage. In other words, the prosecution is reluctant to admit that this court-martial was simply ordered by Calvin Coolidge who, the defense points out, said in June at Annapolis that naval peeps have wide latitude to express their opinions. The court decides the president can just change the rules whenever he sees fit.
