ESSEN. February THE German
Information Bureau announces that
the French have occupied Lennep. a
Rhenish textile city, as we'll as kreb-
soege and Pergisch- Born, two small
er towns nearby.
According to the same source the
French advance is apparently part
of an encircling movement which will
include the occupation of Elner! cid
and Barmen. both of which are tex
tile centers.
Lennep, a city of $4,000 persons. is
twenty-five miles southeast Of Dues
seldorf. Iron and steel goods are also
manufactured there
The extension of the French occupa-
tion to the Wupper valley was accom-
plished by about 900 soldiers. the
Germans assert. The French Travelled

from the British occupied area.
The population had been expecting
the French for several days, it ap-
pears, and SO far as the German re-
ports indicate there was no trouble
OF any kind. However, the actual ar
rival of the troops caused consider
able excitement. despite the fact the
local authorities announced last week
that the occupation was quite likely
to take place within few days

CONSTANTINOPLE. February -
The Turkish commander at Smyrna
has Informed the commanders OF the

they do not comply with the Turkish
order to leave Smyrna.
The allied high commissioners nave
addressed a strong protest against
this demand and uttered warning Oh
the grave consequences which Will
follow any attempt at coercion by the
Turks. The French consul at SmVrna
reports the French colony there as
greatly disturbed by the mena2inS

on all officers on both the active and
retired lists to present thehselNes

MOSCOW, February Now
that the rupture of the Lausanne
confer ence has been confirmed. a
quick change has come over COM
ment here. People, whether high
of low in station, talk today not of
war, but of the necessity of avoid
ing war.
Whether Turkey fights or not.
Russia will in no event take an
immediate part in hostilities If
she can possibly avoid it.
There will be no war" high
Russian authorities declare& and
even the Turks here talk the Same
way. We must submit for
time, as Russia had to submit to
Germany and sign the Brest-
l.itovsk treaty" say the Turks.
We must initiate Russia. Our
time will come"
The Izvestia finds consolation in
the idea that the whole tendency
OF present events must bring
Turkey nearer to Russia. 1t says
the presence of a British fleet in
the Dardanellas is merely a
demonstration and that Great
Britain and Greece will not easily
decide to begin new war.

Any payment of interest or of

The commission believes that a.
settlement of the British debt to
the United States on this basis is
fair and just to both governments,
and that it's prompt adoption will
make a most important contribu-

extension of payment both of the
principal and interest over a long
period will make for stability in
exchange and promotion of COM
merce between the two countries.
The payment of principal has been
established on basis of positive
installments of increasing volume,
firmly establishing the principal of
repayment of the entire capital
sum. The payment of interest has
been established at the approx
imately normal rates payable by
strong governments over long
terms OF years.
High Interest Opposed.
1t has not been the thought of
the commission that il would be
just to demand over a long period
the high rate of interest naturally
maintained during the war and
reconstruction, and that such an
attempt would defeat our efforts
at settlement. Beyond this the
commission has felt that the pres
ent difficulties of unemployment
and high taxation in the United
Kingdom should be met with suit
