ULSTER CONTRACTING OUT
 OF IRISH FREE STATE

Belfast, Dec. 7.-(By the A. P.)- Premier Sir James Craig, accompanied by the Marquis of Londonderry, leader of the senate, and Colonel Spender, secre- tary of the Ulster cabinet, started for London tonight, bearing an address to the king contracting Ulster out of the Irish Free State
 The address was voted unanimously by both houses of the Ulster parliament today. and 30 rapid were the proceedings that the entire business occupied less tnan half an hour. :
 In the course of his explanatory speech In. the house of commons Premier Craig declared it was useless to hold out any present hopes that Ulster would go un- der the Dublin parliament, and added that the moment such nestion arose heSwould refuse to ren1ai aier. The only possible cotlrse to secE Happiness in Ireland was for the aogt th ana south each to. go it's own "
 The premier,s whole attitade was against any accommedation with the south. He said the northern parlia1asnt would have nothing whatever to do with the boundary commission, provides for under an agreement which he described asa bargain entered into by the wrong people, behind the back of fthe northern government
 | He admitted that, If the representa- tiyss in the northern parliament of the border. counties could arrive at an agree ment that something could be done here and there in the matter of the border arrangements, he would not stand in the 1 way sof approving such an agreement. He Insisted however, that nothing could be done in the way of bringing an amend
 ing act through the British house oi commons, because thanks largely tc the ulster delegation which went to the
 British constituencies prior to the 4elec. ] tiops.5 they had secured a. majority fol Ulster in the British house of commons
 which would refuse to carry such ar act. ,'S z.

ozR&1 IoSs c0SFERi1NeE AT NOON TODAY IN LONDON

Paris. Dec. I.--(By The A., P.)- Premier Poincare leaves at noon tomor- pw for London to attend the conference z allied premiers which is regarded by many here as the last great effort of the sfitenteto reach an agreement on Ger mRny's reparations bill before France Eets out independently to collect in her own way.
 The meeting is looked upon in many respects the most important since the lrmistice, invilving as 1t does the con- sinuance of friendly cooperation be- tween France and Great Britain. A ,esser, but none the less important fac .or, Is the prevailing impression that NJ. Poincare's political existance is at Itaks in the policy for which the pro- posed Brussells financial conference Itands
 Although the British have disclosed no stated policy since the resignation of MT. Lloyd George Premier Bonar Law Seems to agree with his predecessor that Germay scnould be given long mora sotium from cash payments, that the to- al of the indemnity should be reduced and that no military measures should be used in attempts to force Germany to pay.
 M. Pofncare's much-discussed plan oi settlement. although withheld on the eve N the last Lonoon meeting because of he sensational Balfour note Is expected 70 be placed before the present meet ,ng. but 1t appears that he will reveal t only in It's broad outlines, Eeservine hS detailed plan for the Brussels con eHence. ~c g
 However. 1t is learned that ths fol- owing definite propositions, while not onstituting the plan. will probably izide the French in their arguments in 4ondon:
 sone-No moratorium to Germany Elthout the surrender of productive suarantees. such as mines and forests
 Two-Reductlon of the German in Iemnity to from 000,00o, 900 to, 50,. l00.00O,000 gold marks only on condi- ion that there be a parallel reduction ir he French and other allied debts

Lausanne, Dec T (By the A. P.)-I True to its traditional humanitarian policy the United States government took a strong position at the Near Eastern. peace conference today in pro- testing against expulsion of the Greek population from Constantinople. Ap- prehensions that the Turks would insist on deporting all the Greeks from their sacred city proved to bo well founded when at meeting this afternoon of the sub commission on tho exchange Of populations Turkish representative arose and announced definitely that de- rarture of all the Greeks was one of the features of their program, concern ing tho adjustment of populations.
 The American representative then ,ook the 1oor and read the following statement:
 ''Tho American delegation Is not in accord with the proposals for new com pulsory movements of populations un- less 1t $ clearly shown that good pur- poses will be served as might be the ease In tho exchange of prisoners, or of populations where exchange is neces- sary to serve humanitarian ends.
 Without discrimination between tie parties to the negotiation for exchange, the American delegation is unable to approve the movement from ConssGnti- nople of the Greek population of that city, particularly under conditions which will send an urban people, used to artisanshtp and commerce, to a ru- ral district.
 ''We Will not hesitate to express, in pursuance of our. legitimate humanitar- Ian interests, our protest at any such dislodgment of human beings.'
 Subsequently the representatives of France, England and Italy, joined -!n the discussion and strongly advised ths Turkish delegates to change their minds about sending the Greeks away from Constantinople they urged tho Turks 10 reflect and not act harshly on this most important question They pointed out that Turkish insistence on such, de. portstion would endanger the entire re, sotiations relative to the exchange o1 populations and prisoners of war
