London, June 19-A confer ence between Premier Lloyd George and Premier Millerand of France has been arranged for this afternoon and tomor- row at Hythe, the watering place in Kent which was the scene of the conference be- tween the two prime ministers in May in the German indem- nifty terms.
 The Hythe meeting is preliminary to the conference at Boulogne on Monday at which not only France and Great Britain, but Italy. Japan, Belgium and Greece will be represent ed
 London newspapers calling atten- ton to the serious issues affecting the relations of the Allies with Rus sia, Turkey, Germany, Hungary and Poland, remark the state of the world is more perilous than it was two years ago and call for clear decisions free from individual self-seeking
 The menace of the Turkish Nation alists in Anatolia exceeds for the mo- ment, in the view of editors here, other dangers, the situation amount. ing, according to several estimates to the outbreak of a new war.
 Mustapha Renal PaSha, leader of the nationalists, is said to be com- pletely in control in Anatolia with the exception of a small area held by the British in the neighborhood of Ismid and some territory around Smyrna controlled by Greece, He has 87,000 men who are well SUD- piled.
 It is believed he is acting in ac- cord with the Bo1sheviki. There are apparently reliable re- ports that hopeful progress has been made relative to the apportionmen1 of the German indemnity betwe eer Great Britain and France which late ly caused friction.

TEACHERS DECLARE
 INCREASE NOT BONUS

At meeting of the Bridgeport Teachers association held in the High school, yesterday afternoon, the following resolution was adopted:
 'In view of statements in current circulation relative to the recent act of the legislature granting a certain amount of money to public school teachers in Connecticut, the Bridge port Teachers association deems if wise to set forth the official position of the Bridgeport teachers.
 The teachers of Bridgeport affirm that they have not received any share of this state grant They be- lieve that any additional salary re- ceived by them since April l, 1920 represents a direct increase in salary voted them by the Board of Educa- tion, of which increase they were ,no- tifed in writing over the signature of the president of the Board of Edu- cation.
 The teachers maintain that the amount of the state grant as proposed by the legislature constitutes an in- dependent loan to be advanced by the city to the teachers and for which the state of Connecticut stands se- curity. The money represents fnan. c1al aid given by the state to the teachers and stands independent oi any permanent increase in salary voted by the city.
 The teachers further contend that inasmuch as the additional salary paid to many, teachers between April 1 1920 and July 14, 1920 is actually less than their share of the state grant. Any statement that state aid is included in salary increase is palpably inaccurate; furthermore, in view of the fact that teachers so con- cerned are the most poorly paid teachers in the corps, any attempt te so include the state grant is contrary to the purpose of the bill which aimed to encourage poorly paid teach CTS to remain in the profession.
 The teachers originally agreed tc accept this state grant on the under. standing that it was to be independent of any salary increase, and they have consistently opposed any incorpora- tion of the grant with any such in- crease.

FOREIGN MARKET
 CONDITIONS ARE
 GROWING BETTER

Further assurance that foreign market conditions are growing more encouraging daily with the increased European effort to stabilize exchange, is derived from latest trade reports by the Guaranty Trust company Of New York in the current issue of it's fortnightly trade review, American Goods and Foreign Market" The bulletin says:
 Notwithstanding the depressing effect of unsettled conditions in some markets, foraign trade developments of the last fortnight have brought forth tendencies decidedly encourage ing to merchants anxiously watching for further signs of a return to nor nal trade conditions. Recent reports of industrial and commercial condi- tions show the beneficial results of the supreme efforts that European countries are making to bring their exchange rates to stronger levels
 s-Continued improvement in pro- duction, both for home consumption and export, which is one of the most effective remedies for weak ex- change, can be seen in mostzEuropean countries, particularly Great Britain, Belgium, France and Italy. One de- velopment, which will likely react fla vorably on French exchange, will be the final adoption by the governments Of that country of a wheat policy for the coming year. The new wheat bill provides for the 7, purchase by the State at a fixed price of all wheat grown in the country during 1920, and also for the purchase by the State of all foreign wheat to be inl- ported into the country during the year. The exact extent to which this monopoly of wheat importation by the government will relieve France of the necessity of importing Amer ican wheat cannot be determined d now, of course. but it becomes aimoar
