special cable TO universal Service.
LONDON, Dec. 2S.-The British
government is giving fullest sup
port to Lord Curzon at the Lau-
same conference.
Backing up his threat to the
Turks that Britain would never
surrender Mosul to them, the
Mediterranean fleet, which only a
few days ago was recalled to
Malta from the Golden Horn, was
ordered today to return at full
speed to Constantinople and await
eventualities.
FLAGSHIP PN WAY.

manded by Admiral Sir Osmond De
Brock which started. according to
dispatches. for the theater of threat
ened hostilities this afternoon, was
accompanied by a few light cruis
ers and a flotilla OF destroyers.
All the other ships OF the fleet
are expected to follow as soon as
possible.
This sensational development
came like a bolt from the blue and
is believed to be in response to an
appeal from Lord Curzon to back
his use of the big stick at the
conference in the hope that the
Turks will be impressed by this
fresh naval demonstration.
With the British army now hold
ing Chanak and sixty miles along
the Straits ready to strike at any
moment. and with many squadrons
OF airmen who can be summoned
from Irak within a few hours, It ID
believed that the Turk will again
back down.
However. the belief is not shared
by many long-headed men in the
foreign office. who believe that the
willy Turk, realizing the disunity
of the entente caused by Frances
unbending attitude on reparations
and counting upon the pledged sup
port of Soviet Russia. may take
the stand which will start another
world conflagration.

Lloyd George government fell over
the question of war with Turkey. is

Turk remains firm.
The British press is united in de
claring that the situation is ex
tremely grave, and conspicuously
features the active participation and

observer, Ambassador Child, who

Wealthy Oil Man Is Charged
With Conversion of German
Property Seized During War
TWELVE COUNTS SPECIFIED
Owner of Magnetic Company Is
Alleged to Have Claimed Cit
izenship When Still an Alien

Special to Tie Washington Herald.
NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.-As
result of the expose by the
Hearst newspapers of tn,
transactions by which Martin
E. Keern. a former convict and
German alien. acquired thc
vast properties of the Bosch
Magnetic Company from the
alien property custodian, the
Federal grand jury today re-
turned two indictments.
The first charges Keern with
claiming American citizenship
in an application for a pass
port while he was still an
alien. The penalty for this is
a fine of $1,000, or five years
in prison, or both. There are
two counts in the indictment.
The second indictment charges
Joseph F. Guffey, director of
sales for the alien property GUS
todian under A. Mitchell Palmer
and Francis P. Garvan, with the
embezzlement of s406,OOO ac-
quired by him from property
seized from Germans during the
war.
PROPERTY NOT SPECIFIED.
The instrument contains twelve
counts. 1t fails to specify what
seized German property was sold
by Guffey or just how the alleged
embezzlement took place.
Guffey, a wealthy Pennsylvania
oil man, whose residence is in Pitts
burgh, directed the sale of the
Bosch properties TO Keern.
The Federal grand jury here start
ed an investigation of the sale of
the Bosch Magnetic Company to
keern about one month ago. The
evidence was presented by Special
Deputy Attorney General Herman
J. Galloway and Assistant United
States District Attorney John J.
Joyce. They were assisted by Will
lam NJ. Offley, formerly in charge
of the Department of Justice office
here
1t is generally understood that the
indictment of keern on the perjury
charge is only a preliminary step in
series of prosecutions of those
connected with the Bosch transac-
tion.
II the Government proves that
keern was an enemy alien when he
acquired the Bosch Company other
indictments will be sought
Neither Galloway nor Joyce would
comment upon the possibility of fu-
ture prosecutions in the Bosch case.
