Russ armies Are Ready
For Lausanne BreakdOlUr,
Turks Final Defiance to Allies Es.
pected to Usher in Strife by Which
Soviet Hopes to Further Schemes.

in anticipation of the breakdown Of
the Lausanne conference, an eventu-
ality that in itself can work even
greater evil results from Europes
standpoint than the invasion of Ger
man territories by the French.
InsOlence Due to Russ.
There has been every indication
that the almost insulting resistance
Of the Turks at Lausanne has been
instigated by the Russians. Tchit-
cherin. the soviet foreign minister,
became openly active following the
allies refusal to consider Russia's
case in the deliberations designed to
bring lasting peace in the near east
In fact, it has been suspected from
the very inception of the conference
that the Turks would be inspired to
resist in hope of eventual allied
breach over the German reparations
question. In measure, this break has
come, though the allies have up to
the moment made 1T appear that
there remained unanimity on near
eastern questions. The Curzon pro-
posals are expected to have the COM
plete backing of the French dele
gates. but in case there is refusal by
the Turks London has been informed
that the French will go no farther
with the British in sustaining allied
right and demands in the near east,
and particularly in case there is an
open clash. The purported French
viewpoint is that the French governE
ment has all that 1t can handle in the
Ruhr without undertaking new ad-
ventures in the NEAR east. The bur-
den of forcing compliance to allied
dictates, therefore, will fall upon
Great Britain, but with actual con-
fiict with the Turks there is ever
increasing signs that the powers of
the little entente will be, drawn into
the struggle.

FEAR 7 SHIPS LOST

Part of Admiral Stark's Ref

MANILA, January 23.-Fear is ex-
pressed here that seven Russian refu-
gee ships, with more than 500 persons
aboard, have been lost in the China sea
en- route from Shanghai to the Philip
pines as part of Admiral Stark's feet
of Vladivostok exiles, five ships of
which are anchored near here. The
missing vessels have not been heard
of since January 10.
Admiral Stark is with the ships
which have found temporary haven
in Bolinao cove. But his white feet
of homeless Siberians has no place on
earth to land permanently. Pushed
onward, first from Korea, then from
China, 1t was given permission only
to linEer a while in the Philippines.
May Remain in Islands.
Plans may be worked out, how
ever. for the refugees to remain in
the Philippines. They could be ad-
mitted under the immigration laws
but. the question of absorbing them
in business on the islands presents
a difficult problem A majority of
the Russian colony are sailors, and
it has been suggested that they could
be absorbed easily If sent to the
United States.
Admiral Stark and his officers as
serted that they were very desirous
of remaining in the Philippines or
anywhere else under the American
flag. Discussing the matter aboard
the flagship, they told the Associated
Press that If they returned to Vladi-
vostok they would be killed by the
soviet forces.

WITHDRAWAL DEMANDED
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 23.-The British
government has instructed IFS mill
tary Representatives on the Rhine not
to interfere with the arrests and ex-
pulsions of German officials being
carried out by the French. At the
same time the British are instructed
not to cooperate with the French in
such operations or allow themselves
to become involved in any incidents
Of this nature.
The instructions are considered
broad. They place the British au-
thorities on the Rhine in the position
of working out the details for them
selves and adapting themselves to
each new situation.
New Move Cause. Anxiety.
The anxiety so widespread here re-
garding the dangerous situation in
the .Ruhr is emphasized by reports
that the French are extending their
activities to the Cologne area. News
of the French order for the expulsion
of German officials IN the British zone
reached London too late for much
comment in the morning newspaper,
but in the few criticisms appearing
there was apparent a disquietude
over the prospect that British forces
in the Cologne area might be drawn
into a fresh conflict with the Ger
mans.
Recall Again Demanded.
The call for withdrawal of the British
troops, which was raised in some quar-
ters when the French first went into
the Ruhr, again comes into prominence
today. Although the demand Is not
yet general, Withdrawal is seriously dis
cussed as among the steps which Great
Britain may be forced to take in order
to avoid becoming involved in menace
ing situation, which the majority
opinion here insists this nation must
keep out OF.
The comment thus far has been en-
phatic in asserting that Great Britain
must maintain the neutrality OF
the Cologne district, keeping aloof from
participation in any arrests or expul-
Sions France may wish to enforce there.
A report that the French had ordered
the expulsion of German finance off,
GERS in Cologne reached London in an
Essen dispatch to the Times. The cor
respondent asserted that the situation
had reached the point where the Brit
ish must either acquiesce to the French
or withdraw their troops.

Owners Alarmed by Growth of Cotton Industry
 in South

FALL RIVER, Mass, March 23.- The Cotton Manufacturers associa- ton of Fall River today requested the textile council to withdraw its demand for a wage increase cf 1o per cent in III mills in this city. In long report presented at three-hour conference between the two bodies the manufacturers re- viewed the textile situation in Fall River and presented arguments tend ing to show that the present time was inopportune for the Increase.
 The council will now report the result of the conference to its SIX constituent unions-carders. mule- spinners, slasher tenders, yarn fin iShers, weavers and loom fixers-- which will pass on the report in- dividually.
 Point to South.
 In it's statement the manufactur- CTS association argued that the tex tile situation in Fall River should be considered by itself as differing from conditions in other New Eng land mill centers because of the character of goods manufactured here. The great increase in the number of spindles in the south was cited in contrast to the position here in that respect, the number of spin dies in this city showing little change over a period of years. South Caro- lima alone, 1t was argued. has reached the point where 1t exceeds by large margin the number of spindles in Fall River.
 The manufacturers asserted that dividends paid by Fall River mills in the past few years had been taken from accumulated earnings during the war period and that the great majority of the textile corporations had lost money in the years cited. Did Not Reduce Wages.
 In defense of their action in re- fusing an increase the manufactur- CTS also contended that last year the mills in Fall River had refused to be a part of the movement al most general throughout New Eng land early last year to reduce the wages of operatives 20 per cent and return to the 54-hour week.
 The report was discussed by both sides but with no definite results and the conference adjourned.
 In addition to members Of the legisla i've committee of the cotton Manufacturers association and the textile council five citizens were present, but took no part in tEe de- Alterations. These public representa- tives were selected jointly by manu- facturers and council.
 While no official views were ex- pressed tonight. pending the decislon of the six unions on today's develop ments. it was the general vieT that the events of the day would serve further to complicate the local tex tile labor situation.
