Brooks and McDonald were I said to have confessed to the robbery nf 15 local residences. Much of the loot has been recovered. Including watches, rings and guns. Several rifles arc supposed to have been pawned in Vancouver, Wash. The downfall of the trio was said to have resulted from one of the men trying to give away a watch, stolen from the home of A.

(By the Asso ciated Press.) Revision of the treaty of Sevres, so as to give Turkey addi tional territory in Thrace, now occu pied by the Greeks, was decided upon by Mr. Lloyd George and M. Briand today in consultations preceding the near east conference here. This de cision, however, requires the approval of the allied colleagues of the French p-emier and the British prime min ister. This Franco - British agreement would take from Cireece one-fourth of her territory in Thrace and add it to the Constantinople district. The Turks also, under this arrange ment, are to be allowed representa tion on the international commission controlling Constantinople. Greeka Not to Yield. The Greek premier" told Mr. Lloyd George today he had received a mes sage from his government saying Greece would yield nothing of her present "holdings under the treaty of Sevres. The plan for the administration of tho Smyrna district formulated by I-'remiers Lloyd George and Briand provides for the creation of a semi autonomous province in this territorx Turkey would retain civil and mili tary control, but under Christian gov ernors approved by the allies. One of the main factors in the sit uation which must bo handled dur ing the conference Is the presence of the Russian bolsheviki on the fron tiers of Asiatic Turkey and their re lations with the Turkish nationalists. Turks Are to Confer. Ex-Premier Venizelos of Greece will be one of the dominant figures while the near eastern questions are being discussed. The Turkish nationalist delegation arrived today and took up quarters at the same hotel as the Constanti nople representatives. The two delegations have been in vited to meet tomorrow and endeavor to reach an agreement, after which the joint delegation has been requested to meet the supreme council as did the Greeks today. The question of the plebiscite In Upper Silesia, to determine whether the district shall go to Poland or to Germany, was taken up. The offi cial communique says an agreement was reached that the plebiscite should be held the same day for both resi dents of the district and qualified voters :rom outside it.

Supplies of Raw Flax More Abun dant Cotton Production on Pre-War Basis. J"ot only is there a large surplus ofwool In this country, but cotton and some other textile raw materials have accu mulated because of restricted consumption. The United States government still controls 59,000,000 pounds of wool, most of it low grade. The Australian corporation being formed in conjunction with the British government for taking over the surplus supply of wool in Australia and market ing jt will com into control of 2,000,000 bales, and this does not Include tho very substantial holdings of the g-overnment. made up of home-grown and other wools. It is contended that there are supplies enough in sight in the world to keep mills running for, 20 mosjths. If nothing more snouia come to nana in tne interval. Stocks of raw flax are still accumulat ing, according to Dun's Review. Spin ners have been very slow to buy at any price. This raw material may be had at prices nearly 70 per cent under quotations current four or five months ago. Sup plies outside of Russia are accumulating. and it is not known what volume of Rus sian flax held In the interior is spinnable. German and Belgian flax Is In stock to an extent that is troublesome to holders. because of a temporary lack of a market. While the available jute statistics indi cate a yield a fifth or more below that of last year, the prices are still easy, and sales are hard to consummate. Soon after the opening of the month, it was reliably reported that arrangements were being made for the sale of Jute to Germany. If this prospect should materialize, there is reason to look for a larger consumption than is now foreshadowed at Calcutta. The Jute mills there are planning to enter upon a four-day weekly schedule after having been operating five days for a long time. A recent statement issued by the gov ernment pointed out that the production of cotton was now on a pre-war basis, while the consumption was so far below normal that indications pointed toward the largest world surplus in sight at the end of the current crop year ever known. Exports from the United States this, crop year are about 20 per cent less than those of a year ago. Arrangements were being perfected for a direct shipment of about 50.000 bales to Germany. Silk is one article, the supply of which Is decreasing. New Tork stocks are 55 per cent less than a year ago. and the Yokohama stock is reported as being 35.0Q0 bales, compared with 44,000 bales a month ago. BUTTER MARKET STRONG IX EAST No Further Heavy Shipments on Way From Denmark. The strong rally In the Eastern butter market continued throughout the past week and advances were not followed by a reaction. Trade was exceptionally good, buying fresh butter until it was cleaned up, after which storage also advanced rapidly for best centralized cars. Danish butter at New York was of too high cost to compete and the Danish market ad vanced, making current offerings, future shipment, cost up to 43 c. i. f. No further heavy shipments are reported on the way. Production is above this time last year, but the condensery output of butter has stopped. The market is apt to stay firm until a surplus of fresh ap pears. The San Francisco market showed con tinued strength during the week, and prices advanced each day. resulting in a total gain of 6ic from Friday to Friday. Prices since February 7 have gone up 14c on 92 score. The same factors which caused the previous w eek's firmness still prevail. Production In the north is very low at this season of the year, and with the opening of condenseries, a great vol ume of milk was turned from butter Into condensed goods. Shipping demand from the north and south caused keen buying competition at San Francisco during the week and kept dealers' stocks well cleaned up. Advances of the eastern markets aided the firmness and San Francisco prices ruled 3c higher than New York at the close Friday. Shipping and local de mand for cubes were especially good and they sold at a premium over squares. San Francisco storage holdings have been re duced approximately 100,000 pounds since February 10. ings account weather. Demand moderate; market weak. Too few .sales to establish market.
