DUBLIN, Oct. Ia (By The Asso-

Of the Irish Parliament, de Valera
wrote Liam Lynch. commander in
chief Of the republican forces, @ap-
proving the suggestions that the ARMY
should proclaim Parliament as an
illegal assembly" This. de Valera
said. would be more positive and much
better than the mere absence Of the
republican members. If we are to be
consistent at all, this Is the attitude
we should adept"
The next day de Valera wrote, say
ing that he had changed his mind and
urged the republicans to absent them
selves on the ground that the second
Dali Eireann had not been dissolved
and that the assembly summoned was
only a provisional Parliament. Their
presence, he said, would only help to
solidify all the other groups against
them, and they would be the butt for
every attack. It would retard and not
promote peace. he said.
The army was not strong enough to
proclaim Parliament, the letter stated.
AS regards delegation for America,
the former Dali president agreed with
Austin Stack, the former Dali min

America were likely to be approach

that if it was the policy of the party
to leave all to the army the obvious
thing for the party members to do was

Driven from Smyrna. his native city.
by band of Turks, who murdered his
father, mother and brother in his pres
ence, Kvnstandinos Skatziris. Greek,
sought refuge in Naples on the Italian
Liner Guglseimo Peirce, of the Peirce
Line, which arrived here yesterday.
The stowaway, who is twenty seven
years old, was sent to Ellis Island,
where his case will be heard by the
immigrations officials. He said he had
relatives in this country, but did not
know their whereabouts.
Skatziris told one Of the most hor-
rible stories that the immigration nu-
thorities have ever heard. No one on
the ship knew of the mans misfortune
until Archer j. Covo, Of 420 West
Twenty-third Street, AL interpreter
who served with the Naval Intelligence
during the war, unfolded the tale on
the vessel yesterday.
The young Greek said he had been
the proprietor of grocery in the
Greek quarter Of Smyrna, and just a

They were fully armed and brandish-

shrieking madly. His father, mother
and brother attempted to dissuade
them from looting the store, but they
were struck down ruthlessly.
Sister Carried OF
"My sister was grabbed by huge
fellow" Skatziris said, "and carried
out of the store and down the street,
the bandits laughing at me for attempt

turn on me, although I was covered by

Move to Withdraw
u. S. Rhine Troops
Rumored in Capital
Conference of Ministers i'm
Berlin This Week Nav
Bring Up Question of Re-
calling Men i'll Germany

WASHINGTON, Oct. ID (By The As
sociated Press) s).-There were intima-
tions to-day in government circles that
project for complete withdrawal Of
American troops from the Rhine was
again under consideration, but that no
decision was expected for several days.
No authorized statement as to the
reasons prompting renewed discussion
of the subject at this time was avail
able, nor would any responsible official
forecast what course would be adopted.
In this connection it was recalled
that Ambassador Houghton at Berlin
had asked American ministers to the
various Central European powers to
meet in conference in Berlin next week
and had invited Major General Allen,
commanding the American forces in
Germany, to be present. The an
nounced purpose of the conference is
to permit William r, Castle jr.. chief
OF the western European division of
the State Department, to get in touch
with the ministers and jointly discuss
questions Of American relations, but
1t appears possible that the question
Of withdrawal from the Rhine may also
be considered.
The United States now has about
1000 officers and men in the occupied
area. The Washington government
planned to withdraw the entire force
several months ago, but deferred or
ders to, the small detachment still re-
naming there on representations from
Germany and from some Allied quar-
ters that retention OF some units was
desirable for the effect on the then
pending difficulties between Germany
and the Allies. 1t was said here at the
time, however, that the order bringing
the troops home merely was deferred

Says First Task Is to Restore Pound
After leaving Manchester the Pre-
mier went to Stafford, where the free
dom of the city was presented to him.
In short speech of thanks the Pre-
mier said the first thing requiring to
be done was to re-establish the credit
of the pound sterling. Trade depres-
sion and unemployment were inevi-
table; they followed every war. There
was only one way in which the world
could be restored; that was that the
depleted wealth of the world should
be built up.
From Stafford he proceeded to Black
pool, where he was also presented with
the freedom of the city, and in speech
he said: II trust. my countrymen, to
