APPEAL TO GREECE
TO POSTPONE ACTION
ALLIES COMMAND IN ATTEMPT
TO FoREsTALL WAR IN ASIA
MINoR-oELAY OFFENSIVE

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Paris.-Great Britain, France and
Italy again have appealed to Greece
to postpone her offensive and accept
their mediation. in an effort to fore
stall war in Asia Minor. This is the
outcome of a twO-days' conference be-
tween Premier Aristide BRAND and
Lord Curzon, British Foreign Secre-
tary, which was ended with the dis
patch of a note to King Constan-
tine asking for an immediate reply as
to whether Greece was willing to per-
NIT the allies to settle the Turkish
question. If favorable answer is re-
ceived it. is probable Greece will be
asked to state the terms upon which
she is willing to make peace, and the
Turkish Nationalists then will be ap-
preached.
NJ. BRAND and Lord Curzon devoted
part of the afternoon to the subject
Of Upper Silesia. They decided to
ask the high commissioners for a
unanimous report on the disposition of
eAc tSiiioiy ldiiinS tHiS, tAptflS Will
be sent to make equitable distribution
and stern measures will be taken
against the Poles and Germans, IL eth
er or both refuse to accept the allied
decisions. Lord Curzon pressed for
settlement of the Turkish question,
hut Premier BRAND would not commit
France one way or the other. He
pointed out that the consent Of the
Greeks and the Turks to mediation
was the first thing necessary; a plan
of procedure then would follow. The
British plan involves withdrawal of
the Greek forces from all Smyrna and
restoration of Turkish national police
forces TO guarantee protection of mi.
norities.
The Ministers failed to agree on
Thace, Lord Curzon advocating main
Of the Treaty of Sevres, while
NJ. BRAND favored substitution of tho
Enos-Midiah line for the original line
1t was decided that no settlement
could be determined until the Turks
and Greeks agree to mediation. The
Italian Government replied favorably
to note sent TO the Italian repre-
sentatives asking for Italy's consent to
the forwarding of the Greek note.

DIR. VAN LEAR DELIVERS BAG.
CALAUREATE SERMON

Rev. John Van Lear, DID,, of Lit
tie Rock, Ark, delivered Sunday eve-
ming the bacalaureate sermon to the
large senior class of Eastern Ken
tucky State Normal School in the Old
Central University chapel and as
stated by DR.. Van Lear, he had him
self never before seen the chapel SO
full and crowded as it was Sunday
night.
Arrangements had been made to
have the exercises of the evening in
the open campus. A large tempo
rary pulpit for DR.. Van Lear and the
senior class had been erected near the
old grand stand; electric wires ex-
tended so as to provide good and suf-
ficient lights and thousands Of seats
arranged and stationed on the ball
park for the audience and large stu
dent body.
But the copious rains of the after
noon rendered the exercises in the
open to be plainly impossible. Hence
the old chapel had to be used for the
occasion.
DR.. Van Lear's sermon was of a
high order, and was an inspiration
not only to the graduates, but to all
who heard him. especially his many
friends who knew him when he was a
student in the old Central University
in Richmond.
