GREEKS AND TURKS FAR FROM PEACE Alliance Between Angora and Moscow Seen as Foment- ing Trouble. EFFECT OF WITHDRAWAL French Fear Berlin May Think U. S. Supports Her by Re- moving Troops. BY ANDRE TARDIEL, i Former French High Commissioner to America. By Csble to The Star. PARIS, March 25.—Peace between | the Greeks and Turks is becoming s increasingly difficult. Angora’s de i mands, which = include not alone} Anatolia. but Constantinople. the | Straits of Adriunople und all of | Thrace, are exorbitant.

Special Dispateh to The Star. WEST UNION. W. Va., March 25.— The recent death of Auna Jane (Pier- point) Darnell at the home of her «on, Samuel Darnell, near Deep Val- ley, Tyler county, reveals the fact that she had reached the age of one hundred and threc vears. She lived the simple life. She was born on the farm near Middlebourne, Tyler county, daughter of Clark and Jane Pierpoint, who removed to that sec- tion from old Virginia at an early day, and were among the pioneer set- tiers in the section they selected as « home. She was a descendant of the old family of Plerpoints, which has been prominent throughout this .Section <ince the early davs, and a cousin of ex-Gov. Plerpoint of Fairmont, known as the war govegnor. She married Aaron Darnell, and * they reared a family of sixteen chil- dren. The death of her husband put the responsibility of caring for this jarge family on her shoulders. She struggled and kept the family to- ether until they were grown and ble to do for themselves. After the loss of the home by fire and she was srowing old, she lived with her ehil- dren, six of whom are stiil living. Ome of her sonsidied in the civil war and four of her children died within a week of diphtheria. fact. Even the text of the document now is known. Everything today points toward a united diplomatic offensive between Lenin and Kemal, | while the approach of the Genoa ¢ ference cncourages them. Germany Alarmed. In_connection with Germany, the government there scoms to have been alarmed and discouraged by the repa- ations decision, which is divisible into two parts. The first concerns the payments collectible in 1 The second outlines the reforms demand- ed in the internal budget, which Ger- | many must adopt ‘before she will benefit by the reduction proposed. The 1922 payments are decidedly lower than the figures adopted at London in May. 1921, but Germany seems dis posed not to regard this as sufficient compensation for the severer condi- tions demanded for the future. These conditions will be _worth exactly what -the allies make them worth. In substance they mark, after two yvears of aberration, the first effort 1o apply articles 241 and 248 and anneXx two of the reparations sections of the treaty of Versailles. These never have been applied until now. As to form, they restore the necessary independence of the rep. arations commission, of which I per sonally refused the presidency in February, 1920, believing that the participating governments had usurp- ed_its functions. Poincare was ap- pointed after my refusal, but he re- signed three months later for the very reason I had refused the post. Power Is Restared. Conditions became worse yet in 1921, when, despite the commission's unanimous’ opinion, the governments excused Germany from the payment of 12,000,000,000 gold marks, which the treaty required should be paid before May 1 of that year, and again, over the unanimous opinion of the commission, in. December, 1921, granted Germany a moratorium for 1922, / Had this method been pursued further it would have becn better glu T excellent that they have decided to storc its powers, and it will be good to sce the commission again reach a unanimous decision. Then e -will see whether the restoration is a real one. ° The announcement that the Amer- ican forces will be withdrawn from the Rhine causes mixed emotions. Sentimentally the French are grieved, because the brotherhood in ari of the “doughb ” and the “poilus” re- mains a sacred thing, and one we cannot forget. We also recall that the American President, In_ 1919, called the Rhine the frontier of free- dom. Politically the impression is slighter because every one recognizes that the United States, having failed to ratify the treaty, can have no ob- ject in” maintaining troops‘ in the Rhineland. Their remaining only would aggravate the financial diffi- culties which the Boyden -note so painfully revealed. And again, in international, like personal relations, there is nothing like clarity, and per- haps Europe, seeing the United States refuse to interest itself in_her af- fairs, will make a much more serious effort to untangle them unaided. The only danger is that Germany may think, or_pretend to think, that the United States is supporting her against France. . ; t is the duty of the American press to dissipate this confusion, whether intentional or otherw!se.
