BRITISH FLEET
MOVE PUZZLES
LAUSANNE GROUP

Lausanne, May % (By A. Ply
No compromise to the deadlock on
the question of Turco-Greek repair
atoms was found today at the Near
East Peace Conference. NJ. Venice
los. head of the Greek delegation,
spent feverish day consulting with
various conference leaders, discuss
to ameliorate the situation.
This afternoon, tired, but smiling,
Venizelos emerged from the hotel
elevator. He was Immediately sur
rounded by group of newspaper
correspondents who desired to know
the trend of affairs A young Turk
ish correspondent asked the former
premier If he was optimistic or pes
simistic.
Tie two knots in a handkerchief"
NenlzeloS replied. "One represents
Mr.. Optimism and the other Mr..
Pesslmism. Put the handkerchief
back in your pocket and pull 1t out
quickly and see which knot comes
out first. That is the only answer
l can give you, for, alas, l know no
answer to this conundrum. Perhaps
the Greek gods will decide"
The peace conference held no ses-
sion today, chiefly because the dele
gates were fearful of taking up al Y
great problems on the aSenda, pre-
1errlng to postpone dangerous Ques-
tlons until the last moment in the
nope that q solution of them NAV be
found in private conversations. thus
avoiding an official rupture.
Conference circles. especially the
Turkish and Greek, however, tonight
received a distinct jolt by a report
that the British Mediterranean fleet
had been ordered to concentrate in
Near East waters. The Turks said
1t was threat against the Greeks,
while the Greeks declared it was a
| menace to Turkey. Others said it
was intended as a warning to both
the Turks and Greeks.

STANLEY BALDWIN new
|. PREMIER GREAT BRITAIN
BRYAN WORSTED
BY EV0LUT|0NISTSAT
PRESBYTERIAN MEET

Indianapolis, Ind. May 22-(By A.
P.)-William Jennings Bryan was
defeated and evolutionists scored a
victory today when the general as
sembly of the Presbyterian church OF
the United States Of America defeat
ed the Commoner's resolution 10 bar
schools permitting the teaching of
evolutionary hypothesis from use Of
church funds.
The Assembly adopted a substi-
tute resolution offered by John Will
lis Baer of Pasadena, which in mild
terms directed synods and presby-
teries to Withhold their official ap-
prevail from educational institutions
where any teaching or instruction is
given which seek to establish a ma
terialistic evolutionary philosophy Of
life or which disregards or attempts
TO discredit the Christian faiths"
The fundamentalists, under Mr.
Bryan's leadership. went down fight
ing in the most bitterly waged strug-
gle the general assembly, has seen, ac-
cording to church historians, since
Charles A. Briggs OF Union Theo-
logical seminary was unfrocked more
than 80 years ago because Of his
Old Testament criticisms.
In the final fight it was laymen
against laymen. with Mr.. Bryan
against Mr.. Baer in a debate that even
reached an exchange Of personalities
Mr.. Baer. California banker and only
layman who has ever held the office
Of moderator. is chairman of the COM
mittee on education, which had rejected
the Bryan resolution in its report. Mr.
Bryan is vice chairman Of the COM
mittee.
The argument reached personalities
when Mr.. Bacr. presenting his resolu-
ton. declared Mr.. Bryan lis as honest
as he can be-but he is mistaken. as he
has been before"
Il want to object to the statement
made by Brother Baer." the commoner
shouted when the assembly granted
him - minutes to reply.
II don't want my Democracy used
against this cause. I don't want any
Republican to appeal to Republican
prejudices by referring to my Demo-
cratic belief.
II helped this nation get prohibition.
Did you do any more, Brother Baer?
Was l mistaken in that fight? helped
this nation get woman's suffrage. Did
you do any more than !, and was
mistaken then? ! want you to know
I have been engaged in eight great ma
tional reforms in the last Is years
Was / mistaken in those issues"
A rising vote was taken on the Qucs-
ton of substituting Mr.. Baer's reso-
luton for Mr.. Bryans and the evoIu-
tionists apparently were in the major
ity by more than two to one. On the
question of final adoption only one dis
senting voice was heard.
Kumors of a stormy session OF the
committee on education yesterday when
Dr., William +. Merrill. pastor Of the
F'rick church Of New York, faced Mr.
Bryan and demanded a retraction Of Il
statement the commoner was reported
to have made about the Rev. Mr.. Mer-
rill's mother in a sermon Sunday night.
