Greek Assault Awaits
Coming of Fresh Troops
Premier and War Chiefs Depart
10 Study Anatolian Prob
lem at the Front

ATHENS, April 27.-The much dis
cussed renewal of the Greek offensive
against the Turkish Nationalists has
again been postponed and the present
activities on the front are being con-
fined to sporadic encounters in the
southern sector, yielding indecisiye re-
suits.
Both sides nre apparently marking
time, the Greeks awaiting fresh troops
and supplies in order to present an
unbroken front to the enemy and the
Turks expecting further forces from
Cilica.
Premier Gounaris. M. Theotokis,
Minister Of War; General Dousmanis
and Colonel Stratigos, chief Of the
headquarters staff, left for Smyrna
to-day to investigate the Anatolian
situation at first hand, looking into
the needs Of the army and the condi-
tion of the civilian population.
Parliament last night voted a bill
covering loan from the national bank
of $50 100000 drachmas. Several Dep
utics attacked the measure on the
ground that by the terms of the bill
the government gave the bank un'
limited privileges
The drachma is falling in value, and
at present is worth only 6 cents ir
American money, as against its normal
value of 1873 cents.

BERLIN, April 27. - The Foreign
Office denied emphatically to-day that
four American business men are re-
sponsiblc for Germany's original plea
to President Harding for mediation
The Tagcblatt, however, which is
close to the government, revealed facts
to-day which the paper calls prelude
to the present exchange of notes. Ac-
cording to this paper the four men
mentioned recently in dispatches from
Berlin as representing large Ameri-
can business interest" hope to sup
ply Germany with raw materials.
These four Americans are Ludwig NJ.
Hocfcr, of San Francisco, representing
cotton interests in the South; Lafay-
cite II. De Friese, of New York; DR..
Richard Moldenkc. mining engineer
and metallurgist of Watching, N. D.,
and Frank Helm, of Indianapolis.
Furthermore, DIR. Simons, the For
eign Minister, admitted in the Reichs-
tag last night that he had conferred d
with an American attorney, now in
Berlin, to learn the legal aspects of
the mediation plan from an American
viewpoint, before he drafted the APP
peal to President Harding. This at
torney was Mr.. Hoefler. Hocner claims
to have close personal relations with
Secretary of State Hughes.
The quartet's negotiations are re
ported to be progressing favorably
with several big German banks partlcl-
pating, despite the fact that they knew
their plans would be unrealizable un-
.},l = q
settled.
According to the Tageblatt, four men
sought to establish billion-dollal
credit, to run from twenty to thirty
years. They thcreupon suggested steps
toward mediation. The Tageblatt adds
"The American gentlemen subsequently
were invited again to the Foreign
Office, where they gave the benefit OF
their advice and knowledge of thu
American public mind on this ques
ton. The Cabinet, however, made it,
decision quite independently"
WASHINGTON, April 27.-Thc ac
tivity of Franklin Helm and othc1
Americans in Berlin, whose names have
been carried recently in cables from
the German capital in the reparation:
discussions, may be investigated by the
State Department, it was indicated
to-day.
No protest has yet been received by
the department against the activities
of Helm and his associates in Berlin
although the contents of the cable
grams sent to Senator Harry New By
Helm are known to the department.
Helm was given an American pass
port for one of the countries border
ing on Germany and it is supposed by
State Department officials that he was
given an emergency permit to enter
Germany by some American consular
officer, to whom he gave evidence ot
the urgency of his business within the
enemy country.
If it develops that Helms object ir
entering Germany. was for politica
rather than commercial purposes, it i.
expected that prompt action will be
taken by the American representatives
there to take up his emergency permit
and thus withdraw responsibility fol
his presence there.

I2-Hour Day for German
Labor Seen in Proposals
WhiIe Political Writer'S Are
Optimistic, Financial Men
Take Gloomy Vie.C of Plan

BERLIN, April 81 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) 1.-The German working
man will have to become reconciled to
a twelve-hour day if the economy OBJ
legations involved in the German
reparations counter proposals are to
he redeemed, says the Red Flag, the
Communist organ, to-day, which esti-
mates that the working hours for
$4,000, 900 workers will be increased by
one-third or more if the nation is to
raise 5000, 100000 gold marks annually.
While the political writers are
optimistic in their appraisal of the
prospective outcome of the appeal of
the Foreign Minister, DR.. Simons, to
President Harding, the financial
writers, looking further ahead, take an
extremely gloomy view of Germany's
ability to carry the self-imposed bur-
den.
The total present Boerse value of the
shares of German industrial corpora
tions is estimated by the Vossische
Zeitung at S,000,000,000 marks, thus
representing only a fraction Of the
amount named in the counter pro-
posals. The annual payments on the
German offer, the newspaper says, ex-
ceed the present total income tax
revenue.
Banker Warns Against Anarchy
just what will be the state of Ger
man finances in the event Germany's
offer is accepted can only be conjec-
tured, said leading banker to-day.
He called attention to the present state
OF the national exchequer, which is
struggling with current deficit of
j
soidated national debt of 160,000,0 ,000,-
600 marks, to which must be added 80,-
C00.000 marks in unredeemed war loans
and an equal amount of paper cur
Tency.
The banker declared the Entente
statesmen must proceed cautiously
when prescribing the manner in which
the German counter proposals should
be carried out, if accepted, to prevent
Germany from lapsing into the partial
state of anarchy prevalent in Austria,
Industrial circles are inclined to view
the proposals as "a political offer,
whose authors did not take the trouble
to inform themselves of their ultimate
feasibility.
The Tageblatt takes the view that
the propositions constitute an approach
to the Paris demands of the Allies and
furnish a framework for the resump
tion OF conferences.
"Thc apparent purpose of Germany,
says the Lokal-Anzeiger, "is to meet the
Entente demands without pledgn.
their performance, which is impossi
=. hle. All the nations have been hare
hit, and it is now necessary that the,
i work together for the amelioration O
n conditions"
Sees Robbery OF Industries
The Conservative Deutsche Tages
zeitung views the proposal with sor
row, and reaches the conclusion tha
"Germany's industries are bound to b
robbed, regardless of circum stances"
It is certain the German government
has gone the limit in it's propositions
says the Taeglische Rundschau. 9TH,
question now is whether Washington
to which Lloyd George listens atten
lively, will be able to convince Franc
that she ought to give up her revenge,
continues the paper. "The German
government has gone further than th
whole people a few weeks ago believe,
possible. and this has destroyed for al
time the theory that Germany i

Treaty Makers for the Shans

BOSTON, April 27.-"The gravest
menace, the only real threat of war, for
the United States in the immediate
future, is in the Far East" Major
Frank Knox, editor and publisher Of
The Manchester On. H.) Union and
Leader, said in an address here to-
night.
Speaking before the Middlesex Club
at it's annual Great Night dinner, Major
Knox asserted that relations between
the United States and Japan are al
ready strained. We have delivered to
our late ally an ultimatum on the ISL
and of zap, and Japan has replied ia
that declaration by defiant refusal"
In the pursuit of peace as an end, he
said, the treaty makers at the con
clusion of the World War "forgot
righteousness, without which peace is
both futile and ignoble. Failure to in
sure righteously just treatment for oul
ally, China, and yielding to the AFRO
CANT ultimatum of Japan that she must
have Shantung or she would refuse tC
join the League of Nations, has brought
us no good, but evil"

Debaters Assail Wilson

Reichstag to-day on the statement
Riesser, in behalf of the Center, the

DR.. Simons, despite the protest of the

citement among the Rightists by his

DR.. Helfferich, former Vice Chan
cellor, said that his party not only op-
posed the governments appeal to
America, but also the spirit which
prompted it. The peace of Versailles
had resulted mercilessly, he declared,

"President Wilson," he added, "sol-
emnly pledged his word, but failed to
redeem single promise. | do not hold
the American people responsible for

The governments proposals, con-
tinued DR.. Helfferich, far exceeded Ger
many's economic capacity. In Ger
many's present desperate position there
were only two alternatives, either un-
conditional surrender or submission to
further coercion and humiliation.
Reichstag Approval Expected
The German Cabinet faced to-day a
vote by the Reichstag on the govern
ment's policy in its reparation moves,
including it's appeal to President Har-
ding. Approval of this policy was fore
cast in political quarters, as the ap-
proving resolution was to be presented
by the German Peoples party, the
Democrats and the Clericals, and was
reported also as likely to have the sup
port of the majority Socialists.
Just what the Cabinets fate will be,
however, if the effort for a settlement
made through President Harding should
fail Is another question.
1t seems generally considered that
Simons materially strengthened his po-
stion in the Reichstag as result of his
sDecch of yesterday, in which he not
only dealt with Germany's appeal to
President Harding. but in which he
gave what the party leaders designate
as the most illuminating analysis of
the reparation issue vet delivered by
