U. S. AID NECESSARY
ALLIES DEPEND ON YANK HELP
IN PAYING WAR DEBTS.
France and England Seek American
Cooperation for Success of Pro-
posed Liquidation Plan.

Paris, May 19.-CO-OperatiOn by the
United States is very largely counted
upon by allied circles, and particular
ly by the French, for success of the
scheme of liquidation of war debts and
reparations, the principles of which
were laid down by Premiers Lloyd
George and Millerand at the recent
conference in Hythe.
The viewpoint of French official cir
cles is that the German bond issue on
which the whole plan rests must large
ly be accepted by the United States in
TEN will fail. Great Britain's accept
ance of these bonds in payment of the
debt Of France also depends upon
their acceptance by the United States.
The principles of the plan as
sketched by the French and British
premiers will be referred to Washing
ton as well as to the allies for approx
al, and it is probable that each gov
eminent consulted will be asked to
suggest any improvements on the plan
in order to make it acceptable all
around
1t was said in official circles that
there was plenty of room left for sug-
gestiOns, since the Hythe conference
left all the details to be worked out
by experts. Even the total amount of
reparations will be open to modifica-
ton, 12O,0OO,O0O,0OO marks being the
maximum.

TURKS FACE GREEKS
RULGARIANS TO AID MoSLEMS
IN NEW DRIVE.
Clash With Greeks Near Smyrna as
Big Army Attempts to Stop O.
cuPation of Thrace.

Constantinople, May 19-Greek ana
Turkish troops have clashed % miles
east of Smyrna, where the Turks are
taking the offensive and are apparent
ly massing reinforcements, prepara-
tory TO further advances against the
Greeks. Fighting has occurred be-
tween MagniSa and Menamen.
Jafar Tayar, Turkish commandant
at Adrianople, has sent a message here
from that city saying 10000 Turks and
Bulgarians are prepared to resist the
Greeks. He declares they will meet
the Greeks midway between Tchatalia
and Adrianople when the Greeks begin
the occupation of Thrace.
TrebizOnd, an important port on the
Black sea coast of Asia minor. has
been taken over by a local bolshevik
administration, according to an an
nOuncement made by the Turkish
press bureau. The population hauled
down the Turkish flag, raised the boil
shevik emblem and set up a temporary
government after a great demOnstra-
ton in the city.
1t is not known that bolshevik sol
diers have actually reached Trebizond
from Russia, but the revolution is be-
lieved TO have been managed by Rus
sian agitatOrs.
In some quarters it is considered a
move on the part of the Turkish ma
tionals as a protest against the peace
terms fixed by the allies and blow
that would prevent Trebizond becom-
ing the port for free Armenia.

CONFEREES HIT SNAG
DEADLOCK OCCURS OVER THE
PROPOSED MILITIA MEASURE.
Senate and House Committees Disa-
gree in Spite of Formers Offer
to Alter Bill.

Washington, May ia deadlock
on the army reorganization bill was
reached by the senate and house con-
ferees.
Senate provisions TO reOrganiZe the
force caused the breach and the Ques-
ton viii be brought before the house
for vote.
The disagreement, Chairman Wads-
worth of the senate managers said,
came despite an offer from the senate
side TO strike out the senate provisions
for voluntary military training of
youths between eighteen and twenty
ore years of age.
Under the senate bill the National
GGard would become part of the United
States army as federal troops, not
militia. The house cOnferees divided
evenly on acceptance of the plan. Rep
resentative Kahn of California, chair
man, and Representative Mckenzie of
Illinois (Reps.), favored accepting the
senate provisions, but Representatives
Anthony (Rep.), Kansas, and Kent
(Dem), Alabama, refused their ap-
prevail and the disagreement resulted.
The senate cOnferees offer to aban-
don the senate plan for voluntary
military training was believed to fore
cast final elimination of training pros
poets for treatment later in a sepa-
rate compulsory training bill being
drafted by the house military suDcom-
mittee.

Mr.. Daniels recalled that the sena-

least three months, cost $15,OOO,OOO,-

The words used by Senator Penrose
were almost identical with those used
by Admiral Sims more than a year
later, Mr.. Daniels said.

EITHER Admiral Sims is plagiarist
and appropriated his views and
charges from Senator Penrose or by
the new science of mental telepathy
the views of the senator were commu-
nicated to Admiral Sims" declared
Mr.. Daniels. "Penrose comes from
to the naval academy from that state.
Did they cOllabOrate or exchange men
tai telegrams?"
The committee might have Saved
thousands of reams of paper and hum
dreds' of thousands of words" by in
vestigating Penrose's charges, the wit
ness said.
Senator Penrose was imposed upon
| by some informant almost as reckless
| in his figures as Admiral Sims was in
| his accusations. Mr.. Daniels continued.
1T is also worthy of note" he said,
that at the very time PenrOse was
making this speech Sims was writing
| to Captain Pratt threatening an in

them, because his answer to Admiral
Sims covered the matter fully. He
