Azed 2418 - Confirmations And Parsing Help Please

[JJ109]

25a Under-secretary? No longer compliant (7) SUB _ ISS
Obviously SUBMISS (compliant). Under = sub + miss for "secretary no longer" ??
Is this something to do with that in years gone by secretaries were referred to as "miss" but that is no longer PC?.... or does it parse differently?

31a Con acting with artifice (4) _ GIN
Presumably AGIN. (agin/against = Con as in pros and cons) but how does the rest parse please?

1d Encampment forming to make peace?The opposite (5) _ _ WAR
I think this is DEWAR and will parse provided dewar is some form of military encampment

1a Once discountenanced, end for Murray comes about quickly (7) _ EF _ ST _
I think this is DEFASTE (A Spenser word), but can't see where the Murray bit comes in.

The D of 1a and 1d agrees, but if one is wrong they could both be wrong!

One other point - does the abbreviation "v" stand for "videre" therefore = see?

Many thanks

Gin is an 18th century word for an artificial device.

25a Submiss(ive) ?
no longer compliant

Chambers give 'V - vide (Latin) see'.

1 A. Murray = a Scottish word, and Dee is a Scottish word for 'die', end.

1 D. Dowar ( Do war, the opposite of 'make peace'). It's an encampment, in Chambers.

Many thanks Jackdaw, Ozzy and NAC. I am kicking myself over submiss - longer version = submissive. The rest I appear to be correct with. Thanks everyone for the explanations.

Thanks NAC for dowar - I was wrong on that one!

JJ, glad I could help.
