LONDON. Dec. 3.--The allied su- preme council today publicly an- nounced it would withdraw financial support from Greece should former King Constantine be returned in the plebiscite of Sunday, and considered territorial reprisals should he be en- throned
 The council also decided the allied premiers should meet . fortnight hence to discuss conditions as they exist after the Greeks register their choice in the plebiscite.
 Briefly summarized, the position of the allies is that they want to warn the Greeks vigorously that their gov ernment must conform, to a great ex- tent. to the wishes Of the allies, and that if the admonitions in yesterdays note and today's statement relative to withdrawal of financial support are ineffective the allies are prepared to take even sterner measures. which were discussed today
 As the Sevres treaty has not been ratified it is within the power Of the allies 10 modify ii, and they are keep ing this fact to the fore, at least as regards Smyrna It Is known that some of those at the conference today expressed the belief that smyrna would be safer. from the allied stand polnl, Tn turkish hands than in the hands of the Greeks under Constan- the. The wish was expressed, how ever, not to go so far as to threaten l the Greeks before the plebiscite with retaking part of the territory allotted l them under the Seyres treaty While the premiers are in accord | that the sternest measures should be ! taken if Constantine is returned. they 1 have not agreed on what steps to take 1 if the Greeks choose Prince George

[RepubIiean A. ?. Leased WIrel

MAIDEN, Mass. Dec. 3.-William R. Hanson, a janitor, was telling fellow employees at a drug store today what he would do with the million dollars that Charles Garland of Buzzards Bay has refused. when a postman gave him a letter that told him he was heir to about a quarter of a million He will accept the money. he said, unlike Gar land, but he will stay at his work of washing windows and sweeping floors so that he will have something to do.
 Between times he intends to smoke good cigars and have an automobile to take him out in the country for week ends. The estate, according to Han son. was that of James Moore, an uncle, who died several years ago. leaving the property in trust for the use of his wife with instructions that at her death 1t should be divided among seven. rela- tives, one of whom was Hanson.
 Mrs. Moore died recently and the estate, which had swollen to nearly
 100000 by war time investments, is about to be divided.

CHARGE MISSIONARIES
 CO-OPERATED
 WITH OUTLAWS
IRepubIIoan A. p. Leased WIrel

TOXIC, Dec. 3-The military com mittee at Chien Tao, Manchuria, has addressed letter to the Canadian mis- sionaries there in answer to charges made recently by the missionaries that alleged to have been commit ted by Japanese troops. had taken place and that villages were burned. The letter declares that the Japanese mill tary expedition to the district was due to the fact that the church authorities co-operated with the outlaws and de clares that churches and schools. were burned only where there was incon- testable evidence that they had been used as breeding places of iniquity."
 In such places. the letter points out, it was impossible to hold even court martials; therefore the troops executed insurgents on the spot after a simple inquiry, which included villagers evil dence. but took the utmost care to avoid an indiserininate massacre
 Warning Is given in the letter that any spiritual or material assistance the British missionaries give the Korean maIcontents will lead 10 a breach in the good understanding between the two countries It says there are many in- surgent races in India and that if the British Christians assist the Korean malcontents, the Japanese Buddhist are entitled to assist the anti British clements in India.
 If the missionaries refrain from pol itics, the communication declares, Ja. pan will cooperate with them; if they act to the contrary they can hardly hope for the future development of
 work. In conclusion, it expresses th'
 hope that the missionaries will clearly understand the facts.

ARDMORE, Okla. Dec. 3. Miss Clara Smith of Ringing. Okla, widely sought throughout the southwest in connection with the fatal shooting of Jake l.. Hamon. Republican national committee man of Oklahoma, was still at liberty tonight and as far as could k4- ascertained nothing had developed turing the day 10 indicate that her capture was near.
 Dispatches from Ranger, Texas, stat ing that Frank l.. Ketch, business part ner of Hamon. had declared a trip he was on in Texas was purely for the purpose of handling business matters in connection with Hamon's affairs was one of the days developments. Mir. Ketch is administrator of the Hamon estate.
 A report that brother of Miss Smith had been arrested at Sweetwater. Tex, while seeking to overtake his sister in a motor car. was promptly denied by officials at Sweetwater. While poliSe of a dozen cities in Texas and Okla horna were searching for Miss Smith, for whom there is a warrant charging assault with intent to kill, officials here worked on loose ends of the case
 R. R. Brown, prosecuting attorney of Ardmore, announced that he had not vet received an official report from tfe police of Kansas City concerning tT-, examination there of two trunks said to be the property of Miss Smith and which were intercepted at Kansas City at the request of local officials.

LEAGUE CONPA PACT. MAY BE BROUGHT. INTO ASSE MBLY
 FUR DISCUSSION
TRepublican A. p. Leased WireI


 GENEVA. Dec. 8.-The possibility or again bringing before the present as- sembly of the league of nations the en- tire question of the covenant of the league of nations will be discussed at a special meeting of the steering com mittee called by Paul Hymans, chair man of the assembly. for Monday morning. according to a statement made by Honorio Pueyrredon of the Argentina delegation to the Associated Press today.
 M. Pueyrredon said the calling of the meeting was the result of the feeling among many of the delegations which had developed by reason of the de- cision of the assembly to delay the decision of the amendments at the next meeting. Several South American countries already had requested that their vote in the premises be recorded with that of Argentina, he added.
 NJ. Pueyrredon denied report from ,Buenos Aires to the effect that Ar fs5ntina was considering withdrawlng Tom the league of nations because ot the decision of the assembly not to dis cuss amendments proposed by M. Pueyrredon and others. M. Pueyrre- Gon expressed the belief that Argen- tina may have become needlessly ex- cited over this move of the assembly ana to have exaggerated its impor- tance. No such step as a withdrawal was being contemplated by Argentina, NJ. Pueyrredon continued, but he sald he stiIl felt that the assembly had de- layed for months the most vital ques- ton for which it was called together.
 The secretary of M. Hymans called on M. Pueyrredon today and asked If II was the impression of the Argentine delegates that all decisions of witnesses have been booked by the assembly or merely the Shandinavisn proposals.
 M. Pueyrredon said he regarded the action of the assembly as definite delay on the entire question of amend ments. The secretary of M- Hymans then informed M. Pueyrredon that a way might be found to interpret the rule so as to permit the proposed Ar sentina amendments again coming UT at the present assembly.
 The decisions in the assembly have provoked considerable criticism, espe- cially among the small nations, and M 4vmans' effort to bring up the mat ter again is regarded by M. Pueyrre- don and other delegates as a move tC anticipate tho further growth of re- sentiment and to satisfy Argentina General discussion of the whole ques' ton of amendments to the covenant probably will como up before tho pres ent assembly as 8 result of next Mon- days meeting.
