PARIS November 2o.-Premiers
Georges Leygues and David Lloyd
George, Of France and Great Britain,
probably will meet IN London soon for
conferences. which is considered
necessary pecanss Of TIA seFieus
situation In the east. A stan Of ex-
usrts wtltr It IL understood. take part
S4sthe meeting.
The fortHtofnins conference OF the
'tftmiers ID the outsfoWth Of con-
versations which have been going on
between France and England tower
the Greek situation. The two coun-
tries now. are believed to be in full
accord on the Greek situation and
more firmly opposed than ever to a
return Of Constantine to the Greek
throne.
It was indicated At the French
foreign ONCE today that the action OF
the allies would take the form OF point
ing out to Greece the grave consequences
which would follow return Of Con-
stantine. rather than active measures
to prevent the return Of the exiled
monarch.
England Concerned.
Tie suggestion for conference is
believed to have come from England,
which is deeply concerned over the
situation in the near east and the
successes Of the bolsheviki.
The possibility Of a concerted at
tack against Turkey by combined
bolshevik and Turkish nationalist forces
is said to be becoming greater daily.
The resistance of Georgia and Ar
menia to the bolshevik invasion can
not continue very long, according to
military observers here, because OF
large reinforcements which the boil
sheviki soon will be able to assemble.
Paul Cambon. the retiring French
ambassador to Great Britain, yester-
day submitted to the British foreign
Office note declaring that the return of
former. King Constantine to the
throne Of Greece would be ''intoler-
able" Excelsior says today. II such
a step was imminent, the note said,
Greece should be warned that the al.
lies could not maintain friendly rela-
tions with her.
The note proposed that Premiere
Lloyd George and Leygues meet soon
to examine questions relative to the
near east and especially with regard
to execution by Turkey Of the peace
treaty signed at Sevres.
Athens Enthusiasm Dies.
ATHENS. November 10 (by the As

the prospective return of ex-King
Constantine seemed to be dying down
in Athens today, although the topic Of
the dynasty is virtually the only one
on the tongues of the people and
dealt with by the press.
The capital this evening presented
a gloomy picture. Rain was falling

trial before Judge Ingersoll and a jury

A verdict for the defendant was

and caused her internal injuries, Tes-
timony was produced to show that

hour when the girl stepped off the
curb ten feet in front of him. He tes-
tilted that she was talking to her
friends on the sidewalk and had her
back to the car. He claimed that he

HAYES when Selznick Pictures present
Elsie Janis in "a Regular Girl" at the
Strand Theatre next Thursday. Miss
Janis. it will be remembered, forsook
the stage and all its munificent earn
ings to go overseas to entertain her
pals of the A. e. F. Her appearance
at the Strand Theatre marks her hrst
public bow in two years and no efforts
have been spared to surround the pop
ular coincidence with a story well
calculated to exploit her versatile tai
ents.
"a Regular Girl" is said to be one
of the most entertaining ~photoplays
produced in several months. The au-
thors of the story-Frances Marion
and Edmund Goulding-have taken a
typical American girl, full of fun and
ginger, and placed her in the center OF
a timely plot which deals with the
problems and difficulties arising from
her determination to land jobs for re
turned soldiers and aid them in find
ing wives to match"
There are many novelty scenes
throughout the picture, including those
which show an entire circus in full
blast, a trip through Coney Islands
Luna Park, a party on board the zach

ATLANTIC COUNTY BAYMEN
ASK CHANGE IN LAW

Wiping out by repeal the obnoxious
CLAN Law" under which private syn
dicates might be given virtual owner
ship of clans in the restricted thor
oughfares back of Atlantic City, is the
first step demanded of State officials
by members of the Baymen's Protec-
tive Association of Atlantic City and
the Atlantic County Clammers' Protec-
tive Association in the work of reach
ing agreement by which thousands of
clans can be brought into market.
Pending the entire purifying of
clam waters the baymen ask only that
the restrictions against taking of
clans be lessened in area to the point
where there can be no doubt of the
clans being absolutely free of faint.
Action looking forward to the re-
peal of the clam law and further steps
toward settling the present dispute be-
tween clammers and State and city
officials was taken at a meeting of
special executive committees Of the
two associations of working clammers
held in P~leasantville last Monday
night. After long consideration the
clammers decided that a proposition
made by State Bureau of Health au-
thorities allowing claiming by indi-
viduals only after a heavy license fee
had been paid and then only for about
three months of each year was entire
ly impractical and word to that effect
has been forwarded to Trenton. Ac-
cording to information brought to the
meeting the fees which clammers
would be forced to pay would be at
least $25 a year, and the time of TAX.
ing clans for freshening in bay waters
far from the city would only extend
through April, May and June.
