PARIS. April 5.-Dispatches re-
cefved in official circles in Paris con-
firm the reports of a complete check
for the Greek troops in the Brusa sec
tion of Asia Minor, where the entire
northern Greek army has been obliged
to retreat.
Mobilization of three additional con-
tinxents of conscripts is reported
from Greece as not yielding the forces
that had been counted upon for new
offensive.
Danger OF Losing BYusa.
CONSTANTINOPLE. April 5.-Greek
forces in northern Asia Minor seem
to be in danger Of losing Brusa, upon
which city the Turkish nationalists
are advancing in superior numbers.
The Greek casualties during the past
ten day on the Eski-Shehr front are
estimated at $50 officers and 1000
men
ISmet Pasha, Turkish commander at
Eski-Shehr, is Issuing wireless dis
patches comparing the Turkish vic
tory there to the battle of the Marne.
He adds in his statements that he was
a student Of Marshal Jof1re.
The Greek debacle at Eski-Shehr Is
sa Id to have been due to the failure
of a division in the Sugut sector to
advance in conjunction with a division
from Biiejik. to the north. and another
from Inegol, to the southwest The
last two divisions did we'll, but were
forced to fall back. and on the night
of April !. Cen Papaulas ordered a
retreat to a line extending from Inegol
to Yeni-Shehr. The Greeks, however,
were unable to hold this line.
Severe losses have been inflicted
upon the Greeks. and the morale of
the troops is said to be poor despite
the large number of priests who are
with them and encouraging them in
the battle. Their constant fight
against superior numbers and the
fact that they have few reserves tend
ed to discourage the Greek divisions
on this part of the front

LONDON. April 5.-Although the
British government has not received
in full from the British representa-
tives in Berlin the note sent by Sec
retery of State Hughes to Berlin on
the German reparations question, the
official British opinion is. it was
learned today. that Germany failed
dismally in her attempt at a new
method of solving the reparations
problem-that of approaching Amer
lea for assistance.
British officials gather from press
reports that Secretary Hughes note
indicates q refusal by the United
States to be a party to any German
attempt to escape responsibility for
the war and reparations payments
It Is believed here that Germanys
next move will be a direct approach
to the allies. As to this. 1t is stated
in official quarters that no German
proposal will be dismissed without Sc
sious consideration by Great Britain.
France and Italy. The German move,
however, 1t is declared, must be a
proposal regarding the method of rep
arations payments and not embodying
proposals for reduction from the
total sum decided upon by the Paris
conference of the allies.
