Husky Squad Out

Husky Squad Out
For the first time since South Philly
surprised the local scholastic world with
its great eleven four years ago, John
son is being surrounded by big squad
of big youths. A number of the boys
who are conscientiously vying for per-
mancnt bcrths on the first eleven are
husky. But Coach Johnson is aiming
more for a speedy team rather than
heavy one.
In the scrimmages this week the fol-
lowing Youths have been appearing as
the first team: Dessen and Freeman,
ends; Blumenthal and Baum, tackles; ;
Bears and Olander, guards; Nilsilio,
center; Goldblatt, quarterback; Bern
stein and Copper. halfbacks. and Leo
pold fullback. This combination has
been proving,a peppery bunch, yet
Coach johnson has his eye on n number
of the scrub men and expects to make
few changes.
VasiliO Shows Well
Coach Johnson is confident that Tom
Nasilio swill do ut the snap back posi-
tioa. He is so pleased with the work
of this center that he believes that
Vasilio will rank with the best of the
local scholastic footballers.
Goldblatt, who is captain of South
Philly, is another man who looks like n
sure thing for the signal shouting job.
while Bernstein and Leopold probably
will be fixtures in the backfield.

surrounding district bring reports Of
the terror inspired by the advance Of
Greek troops into that territory, which
formerly was controlled by the French.
who entered the district in 1916 and
gave pledges that it would be con-
sldered a part Of Albania.
Repeated protests have been made to
tho peace conference against Greek ad :
vances into territory awarded to AL
bania by the London conference. but
no replies have been forthcoming, and
lack of information concerning the
plans of the Entente, it is asserted, is
causing much uneasiness to the Alban-
lans, who are in fear of some secret
agreement as regards Albania.
About 900 Albanians have lived in
the koritza district, which the Greeks
are now entering. Fearing a recur-
renee Of the massacres of 1013-'15, the
Albanians are fleeing before the
Greeks. with the assistance of Italian
and French troops and officials, who are
enabling the terrified population to
escape to Italy. The flight of the popu-
lace, according to refugees, has been
proceeding for more than ten days.
The population of Koritza is reported
to have been amazed by an announce
ment of the French authorities August
20 that the district of Koritza would be
handed over to the Greeks.

PARIS, Sept. Ia (By The Associated
fress).-Colonel Edward NJ. House,
who arrived in Paris this evening, re-
fused to discuss the statement made bv
William c. Bullitt before the FOREIGN
Relations Committee of the United
States Senate. Colonel House said he
would be in Paris for only short
time for conference with the Amer
lean delegation. He will not sit with
the Supreme Council.
MIR. Bullitt's statements are at
tracing cons siderable notice in the
Paris newspapers, which however.
mostly refrain from editorial comment.
The French News Agency's explana-
tory note dealing with these state
ments attributes Mr.. Bulitt's revela-
tlons to "spite over the Presidents re
fusal to permit his Russian report to
become public" Incidentally Mr.. Bull
lit is credited with anti-Frcnch feel
ings. it being asserted that he is
blamed in France for the failure Of
the projected conference at Prinkipo
between Allied representatives and the
Bolsheviki
The Figaro says it sees in the
statements of Mr.. Bullitt an attempt
to undermine President Wilson's posi-
ton by stirring up trouble between
the President and Secretary of State
Lansing. The Petit Parisien" asser,s
that the statements are "vicwed with
indifference by the leading American
politicians" and that the French peo-
pie should attach no Importance 20
them. The newspaper says that one Of
its representatives asked Frank l..

cation, for his opinion on Mr.. Bulitt's
statements, and that Mr.. Polk replied

Lloyd Georges Appeal
Stirs Great Britain

LONDON, Sept. Ia (By The Asso-
clated Press s).-Premier David Lloyd
Georges stirring appeal to the nation,
IN which he pleads for the building up
OF new world and the novel meth cd
OF its distribution are the subject Of
excited discussion in all political
quarters.
The Premier's appeal is regarded as
the signal of new orientation in the
governments policy. The result of the
election last week in Wednes, Lam
caster, where Arthur Henderson, the
labor leader, was elected to the House
or Commons over the coalition cand-
date. is considered in political circles
to be the handwriting on the wall for
the coalition government
The all -engrossing question for the
moment is whether, in. the event of {.
general election and a labor landslide
Mr.. Lloyd George could regain sufficient
labor goodwill to construct a strong
Liberal Labor ministry, which is sup
posed in many quarters to be his am
bition.
Lord Rothermere, whose recent at
tack on Bonar Law created a sensa-
ton, to-day makes a new suggestion.

Greece Fav0rs
i. s. Mandate
For Armenia
Prime Minister Ncnizelos
Says Early Settlement of
Issue Is Necessary to
Save the Population

PARIS, Sept. IA (By The Associated
ess).-Eleutherios Venizelos, Prime
Minister Of Greece, told the correspond
ent for The Associated Press TODAY
that he would be glad to see the
United States take the mandate for
Armenia. He asserted that unless the
question of the mandate was soon set
tied there would be no Armenians left
when the administrators arrived in Ar
menia.
The Armenian question: said M
Ncnlzelos, "is, of course, chiefly the
concern of the Armenian people, 1t
is for them to say to whom should
be given the mandate to administer
the country, but Greece would be glad
TO see the United States take the man
date and assist this long suffering
people toward regeneration.
"Unlcss the status of Turkey is soon
settled and Armenia is occupied by a
mandatory state, there Will be no Ar
menians left when the administrators
arrive"
NJ. Nenizelos is not member of the
supreme council, but has been one of
the conspicuous figures IN the peace
negotiations. During his eleven months
OF continuous absence from Greece he
mas kept in particularly close touch
with the situation in Asia Minor. In
his opinion this problem requires a
prompt and radical remedy
Turks Still Defiant
"The Turks do not consider them
selves beaten" said NJ. Venizelos. "ln
Asia Minor, as we'll as Armenia, they
take every opportunity to demonstrate
1t. They continually arc harrassing
the Greek outposts. Conditions in the
territory occupied by the Greek troops
are satisfactory, but cannot say the
same tor the parts Of Asia Minor
whore there are no Allied troops.
"Great numbers Of former Turkish
soldiers, organized into comitadiis

lations. The primary thing for Asia
Minor is to settle the question dcfi
nltely and Immediately. We have a
large force there, capable Of establish
ing order and protecting the menaced
Christian population were it not for
the restrictions imposed upon US"
Regarding Greecc's attitude on the
question of Thrace and the argument
that Constnntinoplc as an international
city requires ;he largest possible his
terand to support it, the Greek states
man recalled that ne had renounced
Greece's claims to Constantinoplc in
order to facilitate a durable settlement
Of the Balkan question.
"Crying Injustice"
But would it not be a crying injus-
tice,' he continued, "if, in consequence
Of that renunciation, the Greeks, who
form majority of the population in
Thrace, should be asked to support that
international city? Constantnople
really needs no hinterland beyond the
line of Tchatalja (about twenty-f five
miles northw'st of Constantinople). 1t
has its port and its strait, from which
it may derive a substantial income"
Regarding Greeces chronological and
historical claims on Thrace, NJ. Veni-
zelos said:

Head of Peace Delegation
Tells Countrymen Good
Will of Other Nations Is
the Best National Asset

TOXIC, Sept. 8 (Dclayed).- MARQUIS
Saionji, head Of the Japanese delega-
ton at the peace conference in Paris,
in response to an address Of welcome
made on behalf of the city of Toxic
at luncheon to-day in honor of his
return from the peace conference.
said:
Japan clearly understands her re-
sponsibility in aiding and promoting
the usefulness of the league of ma
tlons-that great international organi-
zation which, if wholeheartedly and
ehcctively y administered. is destined to
insure the world against the menace
of war"
Marquis Saionji urged that the
whole nation should realize the posi-
ton which Japan had assumed in the
world at time when the world was in
process of reconstruction.
1T is our necessary duty" he con-
tlnued, Ito help consolidate a lasting
peace based upon the principles of
right and justice. We must make it
our ann to inspire spirit of conf
dence and good will among our friends
abroad; we must always adhere strict
ly to the policy of fairness and ius-
tce." '''N '"'
The marquis suggested that japan
had gained reputation as a militarist
and aggressive nation, which was due
partly to sinister propaganda by inter
ested parties, and partly because she
mad prosecuted two successful wars
SINCE she opened her doors to foreign
intercourse.
That Japan should be made the oh
!cct OF dlstrust and misunderstanding "
ne added, "is immensely injurious to
Japan and not less unfortunate for the
1ore'gn r n1tions whose policy in the
Far Etc., is influenced by this errone-
Gus estimate. 1t is Of paramount
Importance that Japan should correct
this mistaken judgment abroad. while
utmost care in all their domestic and
international undertakings to demon
strate the real national ideals of JaDan
which are entirely opposed to militar
ism or aggression"
Marquis Saionji outlined the rapid
demand which had risen in japan for
armaments in consequence Of the De-
cullar changes of the last half century.
ne asserted, however, that military ex
ceiience was not the only thing to be
desired but, now that the Empire of
Japan was consolidated, and Japan was
cooperating in world movement to
secure durable peace, all the people
should exert themselves to develop
along the paths of science, art, Etera-
