LONDON, Dec. 22.-The rrnlc Min

night opposed hasty action in altering
the treaty Of Sevres in favor Of the
Turks and against the Greeks. He ad-
vocated going warily with regard to
the Greeks, as there might be explana

The question Of the revision OF the
treaty Of Sevres was raised by Walter
K. Guinness, who advocated rcetablish-
ing relations with reasonable Angora
government and territorial concessions.

Kemal Pasha yielded to the Allies con-

Mustapha kemal Pasha.
David Lloyd George, in the course
Of long reply, argued that it was i'm

Printing Facts

When a man orders twenty
tons of coal he would be somewhat
annoyed if the dealer should send
him nineteen tons or twenty-one
tons. And yet the printer--that

kind Of thing.
There are so many operations
in producing a piece of printed
matter that the printer can never
foresec exactly what the waste
and spoilage will be. If they are
greater than he estimated, he will
have an underrun; if he is lucky,
and they are less, an overrun.
And the customer is expected to
take a s'substantial delivery"
which may be so more or less
than his order. OF course, he
only pays for what he gets.

BOLOGNA, Italy, Dec. GA serious
clash occurred yesterday at Ferrars,
t" "enty-seven miles rorth of Bologna.
where the Socialists had organized e.
demonstration in protest against the
recent attacks in Bologna upon Social
ist Deputies. Four persons were killed
and more than thirty were wounded be :
tore the police and troops, who were
rushed to the spot, restored order. Fiji
teen Red Guards, who were among.a
large number who had fired upon the
Nationalists from the confines of the
adjacent medieval castle, were arrest
ed. The other Red Guards escaped.
1t was thought that thorough pre-
cautions had been taken by the police
and the military to obviate trouble.
These preparations were thought to
have been necessary because Of the ar
rival OF commission Of the Chamber
Of Deputies which was empowered to
investigate the recent disorders.
Socialists Pledged Order
More than 10000 persons gathered
for the Socialist demonstration. The
Socialist leaders, it was said, had
pledged their word that no untoward
incidents would occur. The authorities
believed the absence Of police and
carabineers from the scene would con-
tribute to avoid incidents.
The Socialists held their mass meet
ing in the Communal Theater, which
was decorated with red flags. In the
royal box the court Of arms of the
House Of Savoy was replaced by q por-
trait of NikOlai Lenine, the Russian
Soviet Premier.
While the meeting was in full swing
600 Nationalists in military formation
issued from their quarters near the
theater, intending to carry out pa
rade through the streets and to sing
war songs and shout the war cry Of
Gabrielle d'Annunzio At first the Ma
tionalists were confronted by male
nurses from the lunatic asylum. These
nurses, all Socialists, marched in the
opposite direction to the Nationalists,
waving red flags.
Red Guards Open Fire
Then Il volley of rife fire swept over
the Nationalists, the shots coming
from the battlements Of famous
neighborlng medieval castle. The
castle, which was the seat Of the So
cialist Provincial Council. had been
occupied from carly morning by Red
guards, who had come there from vari-
GUS parts of the province to be ready
for any contingency.
When the firing began there was
great excitement and stampede OF
the people imm mediatcly followed. Dur
ing the shooting, which continued ONLY
for a few minutes, the screams of the
horror-strcken people could be heard
above the volleys from the rifles When
order finally was restored the troops

Sequestered Property i'll
u. S. Regarded as Best

to Arrange Reparations
Hesitate to Suggest 1t
Belief Prevails That Berlin
Will Be Permitted to Re-
tain Some of Its Ships

BRUSSELS, Dec. 20 (By The Asso-
cisted Press .-The use Of German Sc
questered property in America as a
basis Of credit for Germany is re-
garded as an excellent possibility by
the delegates to the financial confer
ence here to discuss German repara-
tions. At the same time the delegates
are hesitant about suggesting how the
United States should manage its af-
fairs. American holdings of German
property are estimated at 100000, 600
gold marks. This is considered ade
quate to satisfy Gcrmany's food dc
mands, estimated by Carl Bergman,
chairman of the German delegation, at
5000, 100000 gold marks for the COM
ing year, even after American citizens
are compensated for property seized
abroad.
The United States is still regarded
as the only banker who can furnish
Germany with the necessary credit to
pay its reparaton bill. Germans de-
sire that property owned by their ma
tions be returned to the owners. but
using it as basis OF credit.
The American dollar is mentioned
frequently as a desirable standard in
expressing reparations figures. 1t is
impossible for Germany to export gold
marks, and the dollar is considered the
most stable unit at present.
a final session of the conference was
held to-day before adjournment to
January 10. The adjournment was
taken to enable the Germans to get
further information on the questions
submitted by the Allies and to facili-
tate an investigation of payment of
questions. The German and Allied
experts will continue conversations
during the holidays.
The delegates apparently have q GOOD
idea of Germany's ability to pay anc
of the assistance that the Allies must
give Germany to meet their demands
They have been pledged 10 secrecy, but
there is a general impression that the
Allied representatives will recommend
that their governments permit Germany
to keep some Of the 100000 tons OF
shipping she was ordered to surrender
under the Versailles Treaty. Paymen,
by Germany Of 00,000,0OO, 900 marks
in gold has been the basis on which
the experts and delegates have beer
working, and while this amount is far
below what was authorized by the Yer
sailles Treaty it is considered col
lectiblc on condition that Germany Is
helped along lines suggested by the
German delegates.
The Allied delegates have submitted
a number Of questions to the Germans
which cover & wide range and which
will be answered when the conference
reconvenes. These refer to taxation
budget and German wealth in ncutra
countries.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Dec. ga
wage reduction Of % Y per cent for the
$4,000 cotton mill operatives in this
city was announced to-day after con-
ference between the Fall River Cotton
Manufacturers Association and the
textile council. The reduction, which
will become effective on January in
all Of the one hundred mills controlled
by members OF the manufacturers as
sociation. brings this textile cerfer
into line with the reduced scale of
wages in other cotton making centers
OF New England.
President James Tansey of the Tex
tile Council said general meetings of
all Of the textile unions in the city
would be held carly next week to votc
on acceptance or rejection OF the CUT.
Less than one-th!rd of the operatives
here are union rltmbers, but the action
of the Textile Council usually is ac-
cepted as the guide among the workers.
Most Of the mills in the city are

schedules. The American Print Works,
