pierced for use OF firearms from the in

and peaked caps. resembling New York
State police. and were armed with au-
tomatoes.

EXPERTS ASK PROOF
OF SOVIET FAITH
Economic Situation Involves
the Question Of Moscow's
Recognition.

spsoial Cable to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1879, By THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
London. March 22.
The allied experts meeting here In
preparation for the Genoa conference
declared tonight that they have not
considered any political recognition OF
Russia, but were confining the proceed
ings to an examination Of the economic
situation and its possibilities II Is ad-
mitted, however. that these possibilities
are bound to develop into political con-
siderations.
The experts have practically agreed.
for instance. that there Is no possibility
OF continuing to do business with Russia
unless the Soviets give convincing proof
of their willingness to abide by the or
dinary principles of international COM
mercial morality. The best proof OF this
that could be supplied would be to re-
turn all private alien property con-
fiscated when the Soviets came into
power and to recognize the principle Of
adequate compensation for the same.
No final scheme win be drawn UP for
Russia's acceptance or rejection until
the. Russians themselves are present At
Genoa.
1t also is evident that the British ex-
petrs are working carefully along lines
that will enable Premier Lloyd George
to repudiate Lord Northcliffe's charges
that he is getting ready ito shake hands
with murder and afford him an op-
portunity to say when he addresses the
House OF Commons on April 5 that he
is hopeful that the policy he will pur-
sue at Genoa will lead the murderers
to reform before the final handshake.
The experts have made such progress
that they hope to take UP the economic
situation in Central Europe tomorrow
and adjourn Saturday.
Sterilization Of exchange will be the
most important topic in the Central
European discussion. 1t was stated to-
night that a substantial agreement had
been reached on all topics discussed so
far. even the French experts showing q
greater willingness to consider dealings
with Russia. The Japanese are the most
reluctant, as they seem to fear that
Russia will stir up the Far Eastern
question as soon as she gets chance.

Large Percentage of Abnor-
NAL Blood Pressure Found
to Be Persistent.
SEE TENDENCY TO WORRY
Medical Examiners Agree in
Diagnosis Of Gases as
Psychasthenia.

WASHINGTON, March % (Associated
Press).-Physical examination of regu-
lar army officers now in progress has
disclosed 'the most clear cut evidence
of physical deterioration" due to the
"strain incident to the prosecution of
the world war" according to a medical
memorandum in the hands of War
Department officials. This statement
is based on informal reports from ex-
amining officers. A careful study prob
ably will be made by the Medical
Corps to gather data on which a for
NAL scientific conclusion can be rested.
An outstanding feature noted by at
tending surgeons in making the annual
physical examination of all officers, in
cluding general officers, was ''the per-
sistently large percentage of officers
showing either excessively high or alb
normally low blood pressure" according
TO Surgeon-Gen. Ireland's report to
Major-Gen. Harbord deputy chief OF
staff. The doctors are now rushed wit,
this examination work as the require
ment was omitted last year and q two
year accumulation of symptoms must be
dealt with.
Analysis of the records. Gen. Ireland
said, will probably show that physical
deterioration was more marked In the
commissioned personnel OF the regular
army than in the emergency forces, be-
cause relatively larger percentage of
the former was charged with greater re-
sponsibilities entailing excessive strain,
both mental and physical"
Symptoms of physical deterioration
noted by the staff OF the attending sur
geon here included:
Instability of the nervous sys-
tenn. characterized moro particu-
larly by affection OF the vazo-motor
system.
An unnatural tendency to worry,
fatigueability, low blood pressure
and lowered resistance to all infec-
tious diseases.
The doctors agreed in diagnosing the
conditions found as "psychasthenia."
They also have noted "a decided ten
dency toward increased introspection
and mental exaggeration OF all forms Of
worry and mild physical ills"

ALLIES TRY TO STOP
GRECO-TURKISH WAR
Send Proposals for Armistice
to Athens, Angora and
Constantinople.

PARIS. March 22 ASSOCIATED Press).
The conference of the allied Foreign
Ministers on the Near Eastern situa-
tion to-day sent kilograms to Con-
stantinople. Angora and Athens re-
questing an armistice between the
Greeks and the Turkish Nationalists in
an endeavor to bring about peace.
There is no doubt entertained here that
the Greeks will accept the proposal. and
In the event of the Angora Governments
acceptance IL is understood the procedure
will be somewhat as follows: =
An armistice commission, made up oi
representatives OF the Greek and Turk
ish commanders and OF the Allies. VIII
meet at Constantinople 10 settle the con-
ditions for the evacuation of Ash
Minor by the Greek troops.
Another body. a commission on evac-
uation. win be appointed TO supervise
the execution OF the agreement, and see
that the retiring Greeks commit no
depredations and also prevent reprisals
by the Turks.
After the evacuation, which IL is est.
mated will require three months, peace
negotiations will be begun. probably In
Constantinople.
1t is understood that the Foreign
Ministers proposed the armistice under
the following conditions:
l. Hostilities would cease between the
Greeks and Turkish Nationalists on a
date to be determined.
2. The troops would retain their pres
ent general lines the advance elements
being withdrawn so as to leave ten kilo-
meters between the two fronts.
3. The duration the armistice
would be three NOR I'D would be
automatically renew until the sign
ing of a preliminary peace treaty.
It Is felt here that everything will
turn on the attitude Of the Angora Cow
ernment--whether ID win accept the pro-
posals of the allied Ministers, which n FL
give back Asia Nfinor without the neces-
sity of striking blow, aside. from other
advantages likely to accrue from a re
vision OF the treaty of Sevres, or whether
Mustapha Kemal Pasha will adopt an
unco mpromising attitude and refuse to
lay down arms until he has secured a
complete settlement of the situation in
the Orient
Tomorrow the question Of inslrring
the protection of minorities In. Smyrna Is
to be discussed. Marquis Curzon, the
British Foreign Secretary, attaches great
Importance to this subject, as there are
10000 Greeks in the country. The
French Premier M. Poincare. remarked
to-day during the discussion that the
Greeks are not fundamentally hostile
to the Turkish regime.

Republic Not Demanded.

There was no demand for republic,
nor any hint that Scotland was pre-
pared to take up arms to fight accord
ing to Irish methods, but the meeting
showed the growing sentiment to lead
Scotland in the path of self-determina-
ton of its own affairs. Many bitter
references were made to landlords, and
considerable disorder was occasioned

Tended his position against the non

of the meeting could be achieved by
lawful means. but didn't think the peo-
pie OF Scotland would be foolish enough
to spoil a great national cause by bring

meeting. declared it was the first great
national convention since the union OF
Parliaments. with the purpose of OBJ
tanning self-government for Scotland.
and that Scotland should again take
the place 1t never should have lost

principle Of home rule.

other for the south, but an Imperial

Neil MacLean, member Of Parliament
asked if the Scots could make a worse
mess of Scotland under home rule than
she presents now. He said millions OF
acres of land were devoted to deer for

OF little children were herded into foul
slums. because Scotland had been cursed
with the vilest system OF landlordism in
any country ever known. He said he
did not care how the land was got for

Rome. March 22.
Italy has been greatly disturbed over
the Johnson and Gable bills. which
would oblige emigrants to America to
take passage on American ships. Le-
gally, the Italians claim. such step
would exceed the bounds of interna-
tional practice In immigration control.
Practical objection comes from the
Italian merchant marine. which repre-
sents that it is crippled by hard times
already and that the proposed laws
would remove one of the few remaining
sources of profit.
The bills referred to were fathered by
Senator Hiram Johnson Of. California
and Representative John L. Gable OF
Ohio. They were not put to a vote.
President Harding was said to be con

ANOTHER MOVIE MYSTERY

WHEN it seemed that William G. McAdOo
w was in way to become one of the
ranking political sagcs of the country the
movie magnatCS woOcd him. and for n time
actually paid him for legal advice n
salary which was said TO have been counted
at the rate of 5000, 900 year Now it is
Postmaster General Hays who is sought at
Il huge salary.
Now. Mr. McAdoo and Mr.. Hays are
able men. skilled in the technique of COM
plcx organizations and gifted with n variety
OF talents But they are not more able than
dozens of others who couldn't persuade Il
10000 salary out of n movie magnate
without the use Of n club. What, then. is
the underlying meaning and the underlying
mystery Of the force which tends to draw
an occasional political chicftain into the
realm of the movies?
The film makers are irked and incon-
vcnicnccd by conflicting and sometimes hap
hazard systems of censorship. That might
explain their desire for the guidance of
mind we'll vcrScd in political technique. But
it doesn't. The film makers want prOtcc-
tive tariffs: and, wanting protective tariffs,
they want the help of some one who knows
all about Washington and all about the
methods BY which opinions and laws are
made in Congress.
That seems to have been why they woOed
Mr. MrAdoo. 1t probably is the reason
why they are trying to deprive the President
of his Postmaster General.

ten times as much money was spent an

any State.
This proportion may or may not be exact,
but 1t Is nevertheless true that there is
tar greater amount of money spent in the
United StntcS every year to prevent dis
eases among cattle than there is to prevent
it among human beings. A large percentage
OF the money spent for education to prevent
disease among the people comes from private
sources. while the State and the Federal
Governments provide the means to discover
the source and fight the spread Of the dis
ease among the food animals.
