n ~ great excitement was caused in Germany by
~ the news that President Harding had signed
the peace resolution. The chief interest was
shown in business circles, where it is believed that
commercial relations between the two countries will
Immediately improve In certain other sections the
resolution is regarded with favor as it will permit
immigration to the United States.
In official circles there is no disposition to make
any definite prediction to the future political re-
lations with America. The government will doubt
less be reticent this subject until it is known
whether the United States proposes to negotiate
separate treaty to ratify the Versailles treaty with
reservations In the meantime, it is clear that the
Germans prefer separate treaty and are not unaware
of the possibilities of playing off the Harding asso-
citation of nations against the league of nations created
at Versailles Although Germany is not a member of
the league, she forced in signing the treaty to
subscribe to it, but in the proposal of another
citation sponsored by America there diplomatic
possibilities which Germany will not overlook If
the Berlin foreign office could contrive to align Ger
many with the United States in opposition to the
league some benefits might result There would at
least be some satisfaction IN the difficulties which
such an opposition would create for the entente.

The Ismid Massacres.

TINE center of interest in Near Eastern affairs has
shifted during the past week from Smyrna to
the region about Constantnope and particu-
lary to the district of Ismid ftysix miles southeast
of the city Several days ago the Greek forces evac-
uated Ismd after having bombarded the town with
their warships and occupied it with their troops. Ac
cordng reports from Greek sources, the withdraw
al was carried out without incident and the entire
Christian population, numbering more than 10000,
were evacuated under the protection Of the Greek
forces.
Since that time, however, reports have appeared
in the French press which charge the Greeks before
their withdrawal With having attacked and burned the
Turkish section of Ismid and having massacred large
numbers of Moslems and Jews. The failure in
according to these reports necessated the landing of
marines from French and American ships to protect
the foreign colony and the American mission. About
the time Lloyd George, quoting from report
of the inter-allied commission in Consantivope, de-
cared that the Ismd Peninsula had been the of
atrocities by the Turks erocious and greater in
number than those committed by the Greeks. Press
dispatches from Constantnope state that the activities
of the Turkish and Greek forces in the Ismid region
have driven out practically the whole population and
that $4,000 Greeks, Turks and ArmenanS have fled to
Constantinople.
AS far is possible to judge from these reports,
neither the Greek the Turkish forces in this terri
tory showed any disposition to fight with each other,
but displayed ferocious energy in attacking the de-
fenseless inhabitants Of ahs country,

was stated that the Anglo Japanese treaty

and dominion premiers have discussed the
question of the renewal of the alliance dur

AS the matter now stands, it is not neceS-
sary for the British government to take
steps to postpone discussion of the treaty
with Japan until after the dominions have
formally and finally expressed their attitude.
Since the present alliance will automatically
remain in force the dominion premiers will
have ample time to bring the whole question
before their parlamcnts for discussion; and
in the meantime strong efforts will undoubt
edly be made to bring about conference
on dsarmamet hnd Pacific affairs between
Great Britain and her dominions, the United

allied commissioners that an advance on the city
would coincide with uprising of the Russians and
Turks in Constantinople. Upon the orders of the
British commander the Constantinopie hotels were

charged with being rngleaders in plot to seize the

In spite of the fact that the Turks well the
Russians assert that it not their purpose to attempt
to seize Constantinople this time, the present of
the Nationalist army at the edge of the neutral

whether the British would not be willing

The only announcement made regarding this
meeting that certain agreements were
reached and that the conference would be
resumed on Friday. The impression derived
from the attitude of those who attended tho
conference is that progress has been made.
On Tuesday Gen. Smuts, premier of South
Africa, arrived in Dublin and after a con-
ference with Irish leaders returned to Lon
don and discussed the situation with the
prime minister. Gen. Smuts declined to mako

1t is rumored that De Valera is standing

As the negotiations progress the disordr in Ire
