vEN|zELOS IS SURE
Of AID Of BRITAIN
Former Greek Premier Will Try
to Persuade French Not to
Change Sevres Treaty.

Paris, Feb. 19-Ex- Premier Eleu-
therios Eenizelos of Greece, who has
returned to Paris after week spent
in London negotiating to save the trea-
Of Sevres from threatened revision at
the coming session of the supreme
council, is satisfied that British diplo-
mats are converted to the idea that a
revision Of that instrument would en-
tail disasters in the near east. He will
continue his conferences with the
French statesman.
The former Greek premier's argu-
ment in talking with diplomats is that
with Hellenic troops out of Asia Minor
the French would perforce have to
evacuate CECILIA and Syria. He rec
ognized the fact that already the
French are showing a tendency to
abandon their former demand Of a
thorough revision of the Sevres treaty.
Not Working With King.
Nothing NJ. VenizeIos has done to
protect Greece from a revision Of the
Sevres treaty must, be construed as
collaboration with King Constantine,
the former Greek premier said, through
Spiridioon Tsolainos, one of his clos
est coadjutOrs.
I'VE have been receiving cablegrams
and letters from Greeks in America
which show NJ. Venizelos to be as pop
ular as ever among them said he.
But they also indicate considerable un-
easiness over the rumor that NJ. Ven
izelos' recent journey to Paris and
London signify that he is ready to
compromise with the Constantine re-
gime That is not true. NJ. Venize
los hastened to rescue his country
spontaneously when he saw danger
the treaty. He has acted
as Greek patriot He has done some
of his greatest work for Greece dur
ing the past couple Of weeks But he
will not go back to Greece as long as
Constantine is on the throne. All his
friends in America may be absolutely
sure of that" .....
Will Be Independent.
While NJ. Venizelos will return to
London to be present at the sittings of
the supreme council, he will not join
hands with Premier Nichola Kaloger
oponlos. While refraining from active
with kalogeropoulos.
however, NJ Venizclos will do all in
his power to assist the premier at the
One Of the objects Of his recent
visit to London was to prepare a IA
vorable reception for NJ. kalogeropou-
los who, according to the ex-premier.
is the best man possible to head the

Steamship Lines Discount De-

London, Feb. 19.-Beyond taking
legal advise, it is not believed here
that the big transatlantic steamship
companies will make any further move
at the present time about the depart
ment of Justices ruling that only dry
liners can come into American ports.
After the first shock, there is ten
dency to discount any such move even
being made by the United States gov
ernment. If it should attempt to do
so it will precipitate strong opposition
Only the anti-booze forces here find
any source of pleasure in this threat.
Though the plan seems in every way
to be improbable, it is nevertheless
rumored that some of the big lines
might divert their traffic to Canadian
ports rather than accept the Ameri-
can ruling. But this is beside the
mark
Should America try to seize British
liners for carrying booze, even if il
is sealed up within the three mile
limit, those affected companies would
appeal to the British
government, and no one doubts that
the government would contest any
such ruling without delay.
So far as can be ascertained. no
official cognizance has been taken of
this reported decision.

Paris Police Trap Robbers
Who Gassed Their Victims

Jong, with the Dutch woman. en-
tered Senior Ayulo's apartment after
putting the Peruvian attache and his
wife to sleep BY means Of fumes
emitted when the mysterious gas re-
yolver was fired. Neither Senor Az
ulo nor his wife believed tho bur
glary had been committed while they
were in the house, but the police have
since found that this was the case.
The Japanese, who was a servant
in the Ayulo home. aided Jong and
his companions. Hassan. who bad
frequently been scen lettering around
the house. was one Of the party.
The police got on the trail Of the
robbers when the servant Of
wealthy family sent in q tip to police
headquarters that plan had been
completed for robbing his master.
Jong had got the servants promise
to cooperate In the robbery and tho
latter played the part Of accomplics
until tho last moment. J0ng, the

FRANCE EXONERATES

Only Nine Assaults Proven Out

Co. (The New York World)
Paris, Feb. 19-Branding as mali
ciously far-fetched the German outcry
in the United States against the pres
ence of black troops in the French
zone of occupation, the French foreign
office says that since the occupation
only nine cases Of assaults BY these
troops on German women had been
verified by the French military author
tiles.
Since the occupation began the Ger
mans have submitted 227 complaints of
various kinds against the "black" sol
diers' conduct. No hint has been given
out by the Quai dOrsay Of any inten-
ton of removing the dusky colonials
from the occupied territory, their con-
duct having been, in the opinion of
the war office, as moral as could be
expected.
While no indication of the number
of black troops now in the Rhinelands
has been given, the German complaints
cover a total of 19.O5O,0OO days spent
III lne zone Dy the Individual negro
soldiers on the Rhine. From these
figures, considering the occupation as
having begun on Jan. /, 1919, the aver
age number of blacks in the zone
would be about 25,0O0.
Every charge brought against the
troops by the German inhabitants has
been minutely investigated, the foreign
office says, but only 72 of the 227
complaints were found to have any
foundation on fact. Among them were
the nine cases of assaults on women.
Twentyeight of the men charged
with offenses have been tried and
given prison sentences, one received
term Of hard labor, seven got shorter
sentences and % underwent disciplin-
ary punishment, according to the Quai
d'Orsay. Sixty nine of the charges
brought were declared to be entirely
baseless when they came before the
military court, and 96 were doubtful

questions of disarmament and repa-
rations are separate.
The Berlin government has en-
phasized to the Munich government
that it insists it shall make no diff
culties over what it considers
minor questionable disarming OF
few Bavarian home guards--because
it wishes to live up to the letter of

The Munich government already is
willing to yield, but it cannot let
down the Bavarian public opinion too

Amsterdam, Feb. 19.-Officials of
the international Federation of Labor
are not nearly so optimistic about the
progress of labor legislation recon-
mended by the conference held at
Washington in 1919 as are officials Of
the labor section of the League OF Ma
tions at Geneva.
While Albert Thomas of France
said in a recent report of the league
section that adoption of the Weshing-
ton recommendations was coming more
rapidly than had been the case a few
months ago, Edo Fimmen, secretary Of
the International Federation Of Labor,
has compiled statistics to the con-
trary.
Greece Only One.
up to the present." said Mr.. Finn
men, there is only one country in the
orld-Greece-that has ratified the
resolutions in their entirety. This, of
course, is not much for the world S
laborers.
in Belgium, some Of the recon-
mendations of Washington have been
carried out, and, in France, the stipu-
Iations as to the work of mothers be-
fore and after childbirth have been
regulated
In, other countries, as Argentina,
Austria, Luxembourg and CzechoSl
vokia, no special measures have been
taken by the government but the con-
ditions of labor there were already
probably even more favorable than the
Washington program provided.
Others Have Programs.
"Still other countries have either
proposed one or more bills aiming at
improvement of labor conditions, or
South Africa, England, Italy. Vene-
zuela, Germany, Chill, Spain and Ru-
mania.
Another group includes British In
dia, Norway, Nicaragua, Panama, Pol
