ing In Asia Minor between the Turkish
Natsonalist and Greeks, and there Is
chorus OF condemnation OF the British
Governments Near East policy. which
the newspapers varlously describe as
vacillating and evasive. The question
Of why Prime Minister Lloyd George
and the Foreign ONCE are supporting
Greece also is raised.
The whole situation In the Near East
says the Daily Neips is developing into
a serious menace to the peace OF the
world. II adds Not only is the fate
OF British rule In India deeply involved
In this wrctched struggle, but unless the
principal European Powers abandon
their mutual Jealousies and narrow self
interests which have conspired to per-
petuate the present Near Eastern tangle
and discover a common basis for action
the fnal upshot must. be another dis
astrous upheaval In the Balkans. with
consequences impossible to foresee or
to limit"
The Westminster GaSette thinks the
only way TO stop the Greco-Turkish con-
fiict is by reconsidering Great Britain's
decision regarding the proposed confer
ence at Venice. Turkey demands no
more than we could give with good
grace" It says. a'If the change involves
some abatement in the claims OF Greece
we must remember that graver issues
are at stake"

GLIDER CHAMPIONS
REFUSE BIG OFFERS
American Interests Try to Get
Motorless Machines and
Pilots Services.

GERsFELp. Germany. Aug. so tAssoci-
ated Press).--Herr Hentxen and Johann
Maertens. the student aviAtors of the
Hanover Technical School. who won the
chief prizes during the recent glider con-
test here. and several other successful
pilots have declined flattering offers from
American interests for the naotorless ma
chimes they used and their services.
French and Dutch interests also have
tried to induce the fiers to come to their
respective countries, offering them sums
running into millions OF marks. German
gliding enthusiasts are exerting strong
influences to induce The fiicrs not to
enter into such contracts as have been
offered.
There Is some criticism here because
the Government will not give material
support to the annual glider tests in the
Rhoen Mountains.
Edmund T. Allen, who participated In
the recent contests in France on behalf
of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, has arrived at Abtsrode. IN the
Rhoen Mountains, where he il awaiting
his glider in order to make an expert
mental fight. He Is quoted as being
highly pleased with the nature of the
terrain.
The Abtsrode Hohe Is at an altitude
OF 3,26S feet, topping the Rhoen Noun
tains. Hentzen was awarded the grand
prize OF $4,000 marks, $4,000 for the
best mipimum average IN dipping and
speed and 10000 marks for the longest
straightaway fight at the recent Was
serkuppe competitions and Maertens was
awarded a prize of 10000 marks for the
first record flight of moro than sixty
minutes. having kept the air for sixty
six minutes. Hentzen later bettered this
by flights of two hours and ten seconds

Threats on the part of France TO
holt the Reparations Commission and
take separate action against Germany
unless the moratorium requested by
Berlin is refused or is granted under
the strict guarantees demanded by
France at the London conference, is
the latest development in the repara-
tons question. All hope Of reaching
settlement virtually was given up
tonight following news from Berlin
that Germany persisted in refusing TO
meet the French demands.
Rumors were rife tonight concern
ing the probable steps TO be taken IL
France acts alone. 1t is understood
that the War Office sent special in
structions 10 the troops in the Rhine
land to keep themselves in readiness.
Communications between the War Of
flee and Gen. Degoutee at Mayence,
the reported movement of troops from
Metz and Nancy, the abandonment of
maneuvers due to take place in Brit
tany and the order sent out that all
military forces in France be confined
to their barracks seemed to indicate
that occupation of the Ruhr was with
out doubt the measure planned by
France in case the decision of the
Preparations Commission is not agree
able to the Poincare Government
There is little doubt now that the
refusal OF the Reparations Commission
10 grant a moratorium will be unani-

tho sessions OF the Preparations Commits

arguments In presenting Germany's case

delegates ~ times TO hilarity and finally
convincing the commission that a mora

Herr Schrocdcr's 1 arguments dealt

He attempted 70 link payments in kind
with cash and offered tho commission an
opportunity TO meet German Industrial
lists such as Hugo SHINES. Gloechner
and Silverberg. at another Wiesbaden
conference. To this the Commission
would not listen and 1t was decided that
another meeting would be held to-mor-
row morning and probably also in the
afternoon so as TO give the German
delegates time to communicate with their
Government in an eleventh hour attempt
TO save themselves

The projected Venice conference for
settlement of the trouble In Asia Minor
is now seriously irnperilled. I'm the opin--
ion OF French official circles. Reports
reaching the Foreign office to-day state
that the Kemalsts have thrown the
Greek army into great confusion ana
destroying, at least for the present Us
morale
Fear was expressed in some quarters
that Greece might reply to the Turkish
offensive with move on Constanti-
nople.
The attitude of the British Govern
ment in delaying the proposed con-
florence, in which the Greeks and
Turks could meet and discuss their
difficulties. was given In official circles
as the reason why hostilities were re-
sumed. If the Turks now consolidate
their present victory, It will be almost
impossible to hold the Venice meeting
on the basis upon which 1t was ar
ranged. because the Turks. in that
case. would be sure to demand further
concessions.

Then hn bowed his head and slowly walked

Then he murmured Can IT be? Will It ever

Had he waited all these many years in

Yet from early morning light he would watch
til late At night
For that letter but, alas. Il never came
CHORUS
Was II from gray-haired mother, a sister

Had he waited all these many years in

Yet from earlv morning light he would watch
with sr!rts light,
But tho letter that he !orged for never

He haa waited many years tov had mingled
with ms tears
When the Old postmaster met him with a

How hts features they would brighten and his
sad heart seem to tighten.
But his vain hopes lasted only a little
while.
When the postmaster would say. There's
nothing here today
He'd he,noan t!s fate. yet no one would he
blame
Then he murmured: Surely. sometimes she
must thnt OF me,
Sttll he wondered why that missi"e nsvc-
came.
So one day uron the shore he was found. but
lie oer
His poor soul 1t had sons out with the
tide.
In his hard they found note, with the last
words that he wrote:
Should letter come. please place II at my
side
Sweet flowers twino around the tombstone
Ger hts mound,
On which was s"rawlcd his age. also his
name
Many years have gone. they say, since his
spirit passed away.
But the letter that ho lonGed for never
came.
