BERLIN, Aug. 20 (Associated Press).
A memorandum embodying The Ger
man Governments proposals guaran-
teeing future delivery of coal and tim
ber to the Allies will be dispatched to
Paris tonight. Chancellor Wirth con-
ferred to-day with representatives Of
the coal and timber trades concerning
these deliveries. which will be organ

engagements.
Several of the industrialists in the
coal and timber trades are going to
Paris to participate in the negotiations
with the Reparations Commission.
TThe above proposals constitute Ger

Banks Short OF Cash.
Rudolph Havenstein. President OF the
Reichsbank, called attention to the exist
ing financial crisis at a meeting Of the
ReichsDank Board, announcing that the
growing need for credit and capital
which was developing in Germany now
was finding expression in the extracrdi-
narly restricted money and capital
market
He declared banks of credit were short
OF means for meeting payments and
were calling more and more for re-dis-
counting Of Treasury notes. He an
nounced the following increase from
June 23 to July %; in the national float

BERLIN'S LAST EFFORT
TO MEET DEMANDS
Deadlock on Reparations, De.
cision Is Postponed.

PARIS, Aug, 20 (Associated Press) -
The members of the Reparations Com
mission were still deadlocked this eve
ming after an all day effort to reach a
basis for unanimous agreement on
German payments and prevent a split
in the commission and possible breach
of Franco British relations.
The failure of the German delegates,
Herr Schroeder and Herr Bergman. to
bring with them any new concessions
from the German Government had a
depressing effect. The German dele
gates denied widely circulated report
that Hugo SHINES was in Paris. They
declared that Herr SHINES had no plans
for coming here so far AS they knew.
1t was intimated that Germany was
pessimistic over the situation.

Reichsbank Lacks Coin.

The scarcity of mark notes IN circu-
lation to-day reached such an acute
stage that the Reichsbank paid in cash
only 40 per cent. of the amounts de-
manded, covering the balance by checks
The paucity in currency available is held
to be due primarily to general boarding
of marks and the consumers need for a
greater number of mark notes than
heretofore on account OF the recent price
increases.
Other causes include the fact that the
Government presses have not yet caught
up with the shortage brought about by
the printers strike some time ago. The
currency which is being issued consists
for the most part of notes of large de-
nominations, yet even the large notes
are difficult to get. and 1t Is common
sight to see long lines of persons wait
ing at the banking houses for trucks to
bring from the Reichsbank in huge
baskets the quota of notes for the day.
At one large bank patronized to a
great extent by Americans scores of
Americans were observed this morning
having trouble obtaining currency for
checks simply because the institution
could not get sufficient notes until the
afternoon. This situation is creating ir-
ritating difficulties for many tourists and
foreign business men whose travel plans
are upset through inability to secure
ready cash.

TURKS FORCE BACK
GREEKS IN ANATOLIA
Nationalists Take Afiun Kara

1t has been officially confirmed that
the Greek troops have evacuated Afiun
Karahissar. strategic position on the
Berlin -Bagdad Railway in Asia Minor,
to the Turkish Nationalist troops.
The attack on the Greeks began Sat

divisions against Afiun Karahissar in
their attempt to break through the Greek
front.
An official communication dated Au-
gust 2S says: lowing to very violent
enemy offensive the evacuation OF Afiun
Karahissar was ordered yesterday and
our troops occupied line westward OF
Afiun. A violent charge by enemy
cavalry, supported by artillery. was re-

SMYRNA, Aug. 20 (Associated Press).
Owing to high pressure by the enemy
on the East Range of Akardagh. west
ward of Afiun Karahissar, the Greeks
evacuated Afiun Sunday, keeping strong
lines to the westward The Kemalists
had concentrated all around the sector,
numerous French guns and automobiles
which they had lacked in previous at
tacks.
The central attack against the Alum
sector was aided by local attacks by ir-
regular detachments against important
points on the railway line especially be-
tween Ushak and Alashehr. where the
enemy was scattered with heavy losses
The fight is continuing. Strong Greek
reenforcements are constantly arriving
CoNsTANTINoPIE, Aug. 29 (Associated
Press) THE Greek communique OF
Monday made special reference to the
efficacy of the Turkish artillery and the
abundance of munitions with which the
Nationalists continue their vigorous at
tacks on the southern front. The Turks
wish to force military decision before
the coming allied conference on the Near
East at Venice.
Prior to the present movement the
Turks accumulated immense quantities
of arms. munitions and aircraft pur-
chased in France. Italy, Germany and
Russia. Transportation facilities were
improved and special attention was paid
to the morale of the army. Announces
ment was made to the troops In the
trenches that this offensive was de-
signed to force the Greeks to their
knees and strengthen the position OF
Turkey at future conferences.
Before the Turks launched their at
tack against Afiun Karahissar they had
neglected nothing to make sure of the
success Of their plan. All ports on the
Black Sea had been closed to navigation
and railway, telegraphic and postal COM
munications with Constantinople had
been suspended.
