London. July 31-The action OF
Greece in threatening to march on Con

nomny for Smyrna and its hinterland
again has forced the difficult near
eastern problem to the forefront in
diplomacy.
Premier Lloyd George IN an import

was able to give reassuring lntorma
ton concerning the crlsIs-to the Ell
feet that Greece had re-affrimed its
previous undertaking not to invade the
neutral zone. including Constantinople,
without the consent of the allies.
The premier expressed the opinion
that the motive for the Greek action
was to expedite n settlement of the
near eastern question. He added that
a meeting of the powers chiefly con
cerned would be convened to discuss
the situation.
A conference to discuss the near
east, Tangier and other questions long
has been under consideration but 1t
has been difficult TO assemble the pow
ers. Mr.. Lloyd George apparently now
has decided not to await a settlement
of the Italian cabinet crisis TO bring
the powers concerned together.
Premier Lloyd George has invited
NJ. Poincare, the French premier, to
meet him in London August Z, to dis
cuss the reparations question, which
has been rendered urgent owing to the
renewed slump in the mark to just
under 5000 the pound sterling. Should
NJ. Poincare accept the invitation, it
may be assumed that the two premiers
will talk over the possibility of sum

between the miners union and some
operators in Pennsylvania. Ohio, Hi

strongly indicated in Washington Mon
day night.
Representatives of the various gov

operators coming under the admins
tration plan were set TO work on the
initial problem facing operation of the
scheme, such as organization of re-
gional committees in the producing
fields and formation of coal pools. The
personnel of some of the regional COM
mittees is to be announced Tuesday.
Members of the federal distribution
committee also conferred Monday with
the Cleveland operators on the queS-
ton of supplies for the Great Lakes
region but no statement was made as
to conclusions reached by the con-
ferees. In Cleveland, it was announced.
a meeting is to be held next Monday

heard for miles, flames shot up to
a great height and as they subsided
the huge tank, 1873 feet high and 100
feet in diameter, collapsed.
