WILSON AND LEADER

Bills Are Held Up.

That clash may result between Pres
ideIIt Wilson and Leader Underwood Of
the House because of differences over
the policy TO be followed respecth =
trust legislation, is gossip about the
Capitol.
The gossip grows out of the recent
conference between the President and
Mfr Underwood in which Mr.. Underwood
took a strong stand in favor Of carly
adjournment of Congress without try
ing to pass trust legislation. He took
the view that there has been enough
legislation. and that business should be
allowed rest and a chance to adjust
itself.
The President has no sympathy with
this idea. This was shown when ne
struck at those business men who have
been writing letters TO the White House
and Congress talking about depression
and urging that Congress quit
On several occasions, the President
and Mr.. Underwood have differed
radically. Their difference over the

TURKEY YIELDS TO
DEMAND OF GREECE
Takes ConciIiatory Attitude in
Matter Of ExpeIIing HeIIenes
From Asia Minor.

LONDON. Juno ,l-Dispatches from
Constantinople and Athens show that
Turkey has taken q very conciliatory
attitude In the matter Of the expulsion
Of Greek subjects from Asia Minor.
and the danger of war between the two
countries seems to have been greatly
minimized.
The Ottoman government instructed
its minister at Athens TO inform the
Greek government that Turkey was
willing to permit the return Of Greek
subjects who have been compelled to
leave Turkish territory in the last few
weeks and that IL would also compen-
safe these Greeks for the losses they
had sustained when they were forced =,
leave their homes and quit the coun-
try.
The Turkish note vas regarded at
Athens as showing a desire on the part
or the Ottoman government to bring
about friendly settlement of the
present dispute between the two coun-
tries. There Is one point In the Turk-
ish note which IL not entirely salts
factory. and that Is where IL says the
made In the Turkish nots

general tenor Of the porte's note and

the Greek demands which have been
received from Constantinopls are con-
sfdered very satisfactory.
