EXCITED OVER MARINE ACT
Insurance People in London Are Up in
Air Over the Recent Action of
Congress.

London-Lloyd's experienced quite
an exciting day" Monday as a result
of a statement issued in Washington
on Sunday by United States Senator
Wesley L. Jones relative to the effect
of the American merchant marine act,
which appears to move the center OF
American marine insurance from Lon
don to New York, says late edition
of The Mail.
"a majority of the underwriters,
the newspaper says, decided that nc
American business was to be done
until matters were cleared up. The
American market is incapable OF COW
ering all it's direct risks and shippers
are likely to permit their goods to sail
uninsured"

GREEKS SELECTED
TO HUMBLE TURKS
If NECESSARY, WILL BE AIDED
BY MILITARY FORCES OF
ALLIED POWERS.
VENIZELOS Is CONFIDENT
Mustapha kemal Has Broken Through
the DardareIIes, and Lloyd George
Declares Military Action 10
Necessary.

Boulogne, France.-"Mustapha Ke-
NAL has broken through to the Dar-
danelles, and we are compelled to
take immediate military measures"
In these words Premier Lloyd
George announced to the Tribune cor
respondent the momentous decision
reached by the Boulcgne conference
of allied leaders to make war upon
the Turkish Nationalists.
Within few days Greek troops
will be marching against the Turks
in continuance of the age-long strug-
gle between these two peoples. AL
though the entire military forces of
the allied powers may be called upon
in the struggle against the Turkish
outlaws, those first to bear the brunt
of the fighting will be the Greeks.
The Hellenes, through their pre-
mier Eleuteberios Venizelos, who at
tended the conference sessions here,
volunteered to lead the new war. Mar
shall Foch and Field Marshal Sir Hen
ry Wilson, British chief of staff, had
drawn up a plan of military opera
tions, which were gone over by the
| conferees.
Lloyd George and Millerand re-
turned to their hotels from Senator
Farjonis villa, Belle, in the outskirts,
| where the sessions were held, with
grave faces, in keeping with the de-
cisions just taken
Lloyd George explained that the
sudden turn of events in Turkey had
| the program of the I3oulogne confer
ence. 1t is understood that both the
| French policy of concession to the
| Turks and the British program of con-
| ciliation have been definitely scrap
ped. Their place will be taken by a
purely military program.
Although Greece lacks money and
munitions, she has q large army,
| which is anxious to strike another
blow against an hereditary enemy. 1t
| is expected that her national enthus-
| iasm will be proof against the rising
tide of Boishevism in Turkey.
| In his conversations with the allied
| leaders VenizeIos contended that
| Greece alone was able to defeat the
Turks. He proposed. with 10000 well
| trained and fully equipped troops, to
| crush the nationalist forces massed in
the region of Smyrna then effect a
| rapid march into the interior to cut
| the railway at Afiouw Karahissar.
The station of Afiouw Karah!ssar is

| Smyrna joins the main Berlin Bagdad
route that runs from Adana through
Konia to .Ismid.

New York, April II Franklin p. Glass,
president Of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association gave warning
at the annual convention today that
newspaper publishers must take further
conservation Of newsprint paper if they
were not to have a worse time next fall
and winter than they had in the last six
months.
ut cannot be denied" he said, that the
publishers themselves arc responsible for
yielding TO the great demand for paper,
and that they have created this skyrockct
auction market by bidding against each
other, by willingness TO take the volume
of advertising offered no matter how
small tho margin Of profit. Nor should
publishers think that the worst in over,
that the situation viii be cured by this
summers improved output Of paper,
or tho new machines coming into the
market"

tions of the November convention for
restriction Of advertising, Mr.. Glass said.

not 80 rapid and general ms TO curtail the

WE MUST FULFILL TREATY"
HUN MINISTER DECLARES

BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Berlin, April 2l.-Adolph Roster, the
new minister oi foreign affairs, in an
interview with Vorwaerts today declared
that Germany must strictly fulfill the
provisions of the trealy of Versailles, for
IN that way only could she obtain re-
vision of the treaty. Herr Roster said:
Only the German coalition govern
ment is trusted abroad and the entente
would not allow dictatorship of the pro-
letariat here. We must today, more
than ever, have the trust of foreign coun-
tries. This Is a necessary step TO revision
of the peace treaty
u regard the treaty of Versailles as
n pact which we solefnnly recognized by
our signature, and we must resist the
temptation TO pursue a policy of protest
which would entirely fail in its object
because of the absolute impossihlities
that would be encountered in such
course. We mus. firmly resolve TO fulfill
the treaty and where otir will is faced by
insurmountable obstacles we must try
to avoid too frequent protests and find
solution by frank discussion Only thus
shall we attain our aim, namely generous
revision of. the treaty."

Washington, April 2l.-Rear Admiral
Sims criticisms of the navy's conduct Of

ton that combating the German sub
marine campaign was the main object
Of the United States navy, Captain Pratt,
former assistant chief of operations, testi-
fed today before the Senate investigating
committee The chief mission Of the
American navy, Pratt declared, was to
organize the service of supply transporta-
tion In conjunction with the army and to
get American troops overseas safely and
swiftly.
The British got the submarine situation
under control in 1917 before the United
States could have assisted, the witness
declared, and held it to the end
'''rhe United States navy was con-
tributlng factor but never the deciding
one In. defeating the submarine" Pratt
told the committee. The department
had to adjust the total naval effort so as
to use our forces to the greatest advan-
tage against the enemy as whole. In
reviewing the general conduct OF the war
it is difficult TO see wherein the plan of
campaign could be changed if we had it
all to do over again.

requests are considered as merely one
moro move in the systematic offensive
against the treaty of Versailles. II was
pointed out in this connection that If
Germany were allowed TO retain the gem
eral staff and the corps Of officers the
German army would differ from the army
of 1914 in nothing but the facility with
which the rank and file coluld be mobiliz-
ed, the framework being always ready to
