Premiers Agree on Revision
of Treaty of Sevres.
GREEKS WILL NOT YIELD
Donald. 21. and Henry Defio, 20, the
I police believed they had the men re
sponsible for Centrallas recent Burg
laries. 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. Larramendy, In
B street. The police had been work
ing for days in an effort to check the
wave of burglary and two of those
arrested had been under suspicion,
but the officers had been unable to
"get the goods" on them. A fourth
suspect was under arrest, but his
connection with the others has not
been established.
Government Takes Stand That None
or Land Now Held Will Be
Turned Over lo Foes.
LONDON. Feb. 21. (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.

together with reduced earnings, were pro
nounced factors in the Betback. which
established several low records.
Features of weakness included United
Fruit, Mercantile Marine Pfd., Mexican
Petroleum, Royal Dutch, General Asphalt,
American Woolen, International Paper,
United States Rubber, Sumatra Tobacco,
Utah ' Copper and Studebaker. Some of
these issues, notably oils, benefited by the
late decline of call money from 7 to $
per cent, but the general tone, of the ac
tive close was heavy. Sales were 600,000
shares.
- Further strengthening of the general
bank position, as shown by returns of the
federal reserve board, brought no percep
tive relief to the money market. tims
