Should Great Britain adopt a policy
Of making the payment of her debts to
the United States dependent on the
settlement Of the financial obligations
due her from the European Powers the
entire American plan for the funding of
the debt would be seriously jeopardized.
lieved to-day.
Briefly. the Washington position is
that the United States war loans to
Great Britain have no relation to the
interallied debts or reparations. Great
Britain. on the other hand, says that her
debt to the United States cannot be
isolated.
The dispatches carrying the reports
from London were eagerly scanned by
the bonus battalion on Capitol Hill
They had made their biggest play on
the payment OF a soldier bonus out of
the proceeds of the interest and prin-
cipai that might be paid on the foreign
debt. Opponents of the bonus raid pre-
dicted that several Senators would be
compelled to withdraw their support be-
cause they had supported the bill on the
avowed assumption that there would be
payment on the British debt In the
Immediate future
1t was generally conceded here that
II Britain should make payment to the
United States contingent on payment
to her by the European Powers the
hope of bonus out of an allied debt
payment had gone glimmering.

Allied military officials are convinced
that the allied troops can easily hold
the Tchatalja fortified defense lines,
especially since the British fleet has
taken a position along the northern
shore of the Sea OF Marmora from ST.
livri to Bodajos. From this position, the
fleets guns can cover the entire right
wing of the Greek army IL 1t should
move toward Constantinople.
Additional units of the British fleet
especially battle cruisers with long range
guns, are expected to take similar posi-
tons tomorrow. Six superdreadnoughts
already are there, with two squadrons
of light cruisers.
British columns OF artillery have been
crossing the Bosphorous from the Asiatic
side since Sunday morning and are being
hurried northward to the Tchatalja line
Two battalions of Italian troops have
been placed at the disposal of Gen. Har-
ington. and these also have been dis

GREAT BRITAIN PLEADS
FOR DEBT CANCELLATION

French loans, the British Government
says 1t desires 10 explain that the
amount of interest and repayment for
which II asks depends less on what
France and the other Allies owe Grea.
Britain than on what Great Britain has
TO pay to the United States.
Pointing out In conclusion that 1t is
not merely question between the Allies,
because formes enemy countries also are
involved, and the greatest debtor is
Germany, the note declares that the
Government does not suggest. either as
matter of justice or expediency. that
Germany should be relieved of her obli-
cations to the other allied States. But
Great Britain would be prepared, sub
ject to the just claims of other parts of
the empire, to abandon all further right

remuneration should form a part of a
general plan whereby this great problem
could be dealt with as a whole and a
satisfactory solution found.

than any gains that could accrue even

Ing London from the cities of the Near
East indicated that the Greek Gov
ernment's proclamation OF autonomv
for Smyrna may be followed by a
similar decree for self government for
Thrace.
The attitude of the Allies on this
singular action, the advices say, Is
eagerly awaited. as 1t constitutes
distinct departure from the existing
peace treaties and diplomatic under
standings. 1t is presumed in some
European capitals that Great Britain,
at least, countenanced the steps taken
by the Athens Cabinet as means Of
forcing Angora Turkish Nationalists
to accept the allied peace proposals in
Asia Minor.
Frank surprise is expressed among
allied and neutral observers that
Greece's creation of Smyrna and it's
hnderland as an autonomous province
has elected no remonstrance from the
Allies, as under the treaty of Sevres
after period of five years the popu-
lation was to express by plebiscite
its preference for either Greek or
Turkish rule.
The Greek proclamation of self-gov-
ernment for the whole of Ionia was re-
ceived with general satisfaction and en-
thusiasm by the Greeks. who predomi-
mate In the city of Smyrna. In the
