4 THE MORNTXG OREGOXIAN, MONDAY, JULY 23, 1921 GREEKS HURL BACK 2TURKISH ASSAULTS Attempts to Retake Ineunu and Eski-Shehr Fail. HEAVY LOSS IS REPORTED One Entire Division Is Said to Have Fallen Into Hands of Enoniy; Details Missing.,. SMYRNA. Asia Minor, July 24. (By the Associated Press.) An at tempt by the Turks to recapture Kski-Shehr and Ineun-u has failed. Severe losses were inflicted on the Turks by the Greeks. One -entire di vision of Turks was captured. The entire Turkish army concen trated north and eastward of Eski Shehr and attacked the Greek cen ter in order to reoccupy Eski-Shehr. while the right flank tried to re take Ineunu, 20 kilometers west of the town. There was1 severe fighting which lasted for 48 hours, during which the Greek flanks enveloped the Turks, compelling them to abandon strong positions with severe losses1. The entire Kemalist casualties were about 6000 men. The remnants of the Kemalist forces were still on the fortified line of Si vri-Hissar, protect ing Angora. CONSTANTINOPLE. July 21. The Turks, it was explained in some quar ters here, either underestimated the nature of the Greek offensive in Asia Minor or were unable to bring up reinforcements as neded. By others it is conjectured that, realizing the offensive to be too powerful, the na tionalists mean to continue the re treat, drawing on the enemy until he is weakened by malaria, heat and the lack of water and communications. In the absence of accurate informa tion relative to the exact position of the Turks, the military situation was not considered as irreparable. Allied military experts do not expect the Greeks to march on Angora and Konia. owing to the nature of the ground. The outflanking movement which the Turkish army was said to be preparing was also pointe-d to as a possible fa.ctor in preventing this. With reinforcements o,f Oiliclan and Caucasian (iiviisons. the Turks, it was declared, will be prepared to offer stout resistance. Eski-Shehr appears to have been captured by the third Greek division coming from the north, which ef fected a Junction with the column moving from Kutada. The Turkish lasses in material were heavy. WATCH IS IN $5000 TIMEPIECE RECENTLY PAWNED IX BUTTE. Owner Says He Borrowed $50 on Property to Get It In Safe Place Till Banks Opened. HOQUIAM. Wash., July 24. (Spe cial.) The late Marcus Daly's J5000 Swiss watch, which he bought to catch" the time of horses on the New York race tracks, particularly .his own racers, recently reported In an Associated Press item as having teen pawned in Butte, Mont., now rests ir the safety deposit vault of Pat O'Brien, landscape gardener, in this city. Mr. O'Brien said he pawned It in Butte for safety's sake, as the banks were all closed and friends told him his life would be worthless if thugs knew he had it. The pawn broker at first laughed when he asked J50, but a glance at its interior 934 pieces, handmade by Swiss ex perts, set in diamond cups, and having an 18-ca'rat gold case made by the firm of Sir John Bennett. Fleet street, London soon convinced the pawn broker that $50 was not too much to risk, said Mr. O'Brien. According to Mr. O'Brien, he ob- . tained the watch from Dave Evans, brother of Mrs. Marcus Daly. He bori rowed JiaO on. it in Spokane a few years ago and later obtained several other sums. He could not explain how Evans came to have the valuable - timepiece. Among the unique features are sil ver chimes, indicators for days and . months, besides the hours, minutes and seconds, and the split-second stop contrivance. According to Mr. O'Brien's story, Daly, through a New York jewelry firm, gaVe an order tot "the best stop watch money can buy. After outlining what he wanted, the jewelers told him it would cost four ,or five thousands dollars. To this Daly replied: "I don't give a damn for the dol lars, there's nothing too good for an ' Irishman." SIX EDUCATORS INDUCTED National Honorary Fraternity Hold Initiation at Eugene.

Money-raising legislation will occupy the attention -of congressional com mittees at each end of the capitol this week, with the senate finance committee opening hearings tomor row on the Fordney tariff bill, and the house ways and means committee ready for discussion of the new tax bill Tuesday.

Expert's Aid Considered. The senate finance committee has under consideration a plan to estab lish a clearing house of experts who would sift out suggestions regarded as worth while from the tax re vision basket. The plan was under stood to. have the approval of most members of 'the committee and the experts probably will begin work while the committee itself is listening to tariff talk. American valuation provisions of the Fordney bill will be the first taken up by the senate committee tomorrow and Tuesday. Leaders in the senate committee also were expecting to see a revival of the fight in the house to have the senate restore a duty on hides and long staple cotton with provisions for compensatory duties on shoes and leather goods and textiles in which the long staple cotton is used.

The Longworth bill also proposes, as additional revenues, repeal of the exemption of $2000 for corporations and the application of a 15 per cent tax on their earnings in the hope that this would bring around half a billion dollars annually Into the treasury.

Fiscal Control Is Assumed to Be Outstanding Feature, Imply ing Irish Dominionlsm. EELFAST, July 24. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The belief appears general in Belfast that Eamonn de Valera, the Irish republican leader, will not accept the terms of the Brit ish government for a settlement of the Irish question, which fall far snort of the republican ideal. It may be assumed that the out standing feature of the governmental offer is fiscal control, which implies dominionlsm for Ireland outside the six northern counties and, unless spe cial provision is made to the con trary, it is believed likely to prove the strongest lever for forcing Ulster to join with the southern parliament The prospects, so far as actions may be judged, are not disconcerting to the northern cabinet. It is generally believed here that the Ulster govern ment has received the most positive guarantees from the British prime minister, Mr. Lloyd George. Meanwhile the authorities are tak ing advantage of the truce to restore matters to a normal basis. The north Donegal railroad, which it was thought would not be repaired for weeks, already is in operation, and orders have been given on the short est -notice to re-start the Glenties line tomorrow. May Magowan, a 13-year-old girl who was shot in the recent riot, died here yesterday. She was the 22d vic tim of the disorders. INDEPENDENCE HAS FIRE POOL HALL, . BARBER SHOP, REALTY OFFICE BURXED.

Flames were seen in the rear of the office by persons passing by andt-an alarm promptly sounded. The Inde pendence fire department played wa ter on the flames for -considerable time to prevent them from consum ing surrounding structures.

MOVE TO DISARM WAITS Far-Eastern Questions May Not Be Taken Up Freely by Con ference; America Confident. WASHINGTON, D. C. July 24. (By the Associated Press.) It was stated authoritatively here today to be practically certain that Japan will ask assurance that a formal- agree ment as to the scope of the confer ence discussions be reached prior to the meeting. Principal subjects for discussion by the proposed conference under the head of far eastern questions have been considered in Japanese circles here to embrace the status of China and the possibility of reconciling va rious conflicting concessions held by foreign governments and individuals. The Japanese belief is that there shall be no interference by the con ference with vested rights and con cessions, but that it is entirely proper that efforts should be made to re lieve friction. Shantung; Pact Expected. The Japanese expectation is under. stood to be that the Shantung mat ter may be adjusted in advance of the conf-erence and that the contro versy as to cable rights in the island of Yap may be "settled out of court" by Secretary Hughes and Baron Shidehara. Progress towards final adjustment of- the plans for the conference con tinued to be delayed today by Japan's consideration of the extent to which she will participate. Officials of the government here re mained confident, however, that out of the deliberations of the diplomatic advisory council at Tokio would come the announcement of agreement in ac cord: with the general plan for the dis cussion of far-eastern subjects, and the European opposition to a con ference as early as November would not be persisted in to the point of causing serious delay. Confidence tm Heightened. Confidence in the ultimate decision of Japan was heightened by Associat ed Press dispatches from Tokio quot ing newspapers of the Japanese capi tal as agreed that Japan will enter the conference. It has been clearly explained to the British government that the United States continues to favor a date not later than November 11 for the open ing of the conference, although it is understood that insistence on that fea ture was not carried so far as to in dicate unalterable determination. A counter suggestion, said to have been made, was to advance the date of the conference with the thought that the dominion premiers may be able to join in the discussions prior to the date fixed for the convening of the legislative bodies in their coun tries. Government Expert Busy. Officials of the government have at tempted to make it plain that they desire to follow a policy of give and take in making arrangements for the conference and in preparing the agenda. Secretary Hughes' apparent optimism regarding the situation with Jaapn is believed to be due largely to pursuance of such a policy and it has been indicated in various quarters that the United States will not object to nor consider improper the attaching of reservations bv Japan to an acceptance of the invita tion to discuss questions of the orient. While the Jaapnese decision was awaited, government experts already are working through great piles of documents, sifting out and co-ordinating- the information that will be needed by the American delegates in the discussions of the manyquestions that will come before the conference. They have been assigned by the state, war and treasury departments, whose chiefs reflect the administration's known confidence that in a short time, perhaps before , the end of the coming week, the obstacles to hold ing the conference will be removed. DISARMAMENT PLEA MADE Osaka Business Men Urge Govern ment to Take Action. BY MOCK JOTA. TOKIO. Japan. July 24. (Special.) Japanese business men are becom ing interested in the armament re duction problem, and those of Osaka, the center of the business and indus trial activities of Japan, have just appealed to the government to reduce armaments and also have proposed universal armament reduction to all povers of the world. The question has been widely dis cussed in Japan by statesmen and publicists, but the chamber of com merce of Osaka is the first commer cial organization of Japan to take up the problem seriously and, voting for the armament reduction, to propose it to the government officially. These business men are convinced that armament reduction will greatly benefit the whole country and at their general meeting recently decided to solicit the approval and support of other chambers of commerce of Ja pan for an early realization of arma ment limitation, not only in Japan but also in the leading world powers. The resolution of the Osaka cham ber, forwarded to the prime minister and the ministers of finance, navy, army and agriculture and commerce, made the following argument: "We support armament reduction to avoid any calamity of war, to preserve the peace of the world without re sorting to unlimited armament com petition and to lighten the burden of the people in paying for ever-increasing armament. The country requires energy and money for many useful in- 'Good-bye, Trouble; Good-bye, Worry; Grocers' Picnic Hurry Hurry BONNEVILLE, JULY 27 Ask Your Grocer Cuticura Soap Complexions Are Healthy 3op.Oititanent.Tmlcgm .Sg.e-y oliaie.FofmmpiCB abdraaa: Onrtavrtv Lbortri.Ipt.X.

"Armament reduction is now the topic of the world, and the league of nations has been organized to pre serve the peace of the world, and it is advisable and timely for our country. which stands always for humanity and the world peace, to advocate the armament reduction policy which will eventually remove misunderstandings of other powers concerning Japan and effectively lighten the burden ol me people. "We have the honor of submitting our resolution to the authorities of the government, praying that the matter be given their serious and immediate attention." The appeal to the government offi cials was accompanied with a state ment which clearly set forth the benefit to be realized by armament reduction. Military and naval ex penditures, it said, amounted to one half of the total national expendi ture, and the entire amount of direct taxes is not sufficient to pay the armament expenditures of the coun try. Under such conditions, it is impos sible to develop industries and civil ization of the country, and such feats are causing misunderstandings in other nations about Jaapn. it is point ed out. Again, the pedple cannot stand to pay the ever-increasing armament ex penditures, it is argued, especially with the country still in the throes of the business depression which fol lowed the war. The chamber's resolution has at tracted a wide attention and it is ex pected that all chambers of commerce of Japan will come forward in favor of armament reduction. The action showed a departure from the old in activity of the business circle in na tional affairs, and especially in mili tary affairs. It has been hoped by the public, which is giving its hearty support to the business men's plan, that the pres sure from leading business -men of the country will eventually make the government see the armament prob VICTOR RECORDS $1.00 Tobermory. . . .Harry Lauder Wearin' Kilts. .Harry Lauder fl.OO Hey.
