This became known to-day coinci dent with resUmption of scssions of the conference which has for its ob jective the disposition of the former German cables. Thc controversy be? tween the United States and Japan centers around the future status of thc Pacific island of Yap, the United States holding that Yap, as an important cen? ter of communieations, should bc in tcrnationalized and Japan contending that the island was ineluded in thc mandate granting her all former Ger? man possessions in the Pacific north of the equator.

New York Tribune lnc. LONDON, Feb.

25. The British crown forees were overwhelmcd to-day in a territic clash with Sinn Feiners in the hills near Macroon, County Cork, thc scene of last Novcmbcr's massacre. An army of 300 republicans fought. scventy auxiliary cadets and members of the Royal Irish Constabu lary in an all-day engagement. The crown forees are reported to I have sustained heavy casualtics.

Major i Grant, commander of thc auxiliaries, was killed early in the fighting. Ten rrnen were left on thc scene of battle, 1 supposcdly dead, and seven of thc regu? lar constabulary are known to have i been fatally wounded. Although reports of the encounter I are conflicting, lt is, regarded as certain that at least six more Black and Tans 1 were seriously wounded in addition to i a number left in the hands of the Sinn Feiners when the crown forees effected a retreat. The extent of tho republi? can losses is not known. Crown Forees Ambushed A company of poiice auxiliaries, ac? companied by a few regulars, were traveling through the country in mili? tary lorries when attacked by thc Sinn Feiners from ambush.

The road had been mined, and when the first explo? sion came the poiice lorries were showered with bombs. Intense firing followed. After the first onslaught the crown forees withdrew, removing as many wounded as they could under fire and leaving thc Sinn Feiners in possession of tbe scene. A column of several hundred sup porting troops was dispatched to the aid of the crown forees as soon as word of the attack waa received at headquar? ters. Airplanes for reconnoissance joined the expedition.

Two officers proceeding from Cork to join the reinforcing column were kidnapped by the Sinn Feiners. There was renewed military activity in Dublin to-day. For the third time a large body of poiice and military sur rounded an area supposed to contain the headquarters of the republican govern? ment and made a thorough seareh. Ar mored cars and tanks aided in patrol ing thc district while the seareh was in progress. Biggcst Fight of Guerrilla Warfare CORK, Feb.

25 (By The Associated Macroom ambuscade re? sulted in the biggest fight that has occurrcd since guerrilla tactics began in Ireland. The attack took place at Coolavoiking, on the mountainous part of the road between Macroom and Bal- lyvourney. Tho preparations for the attack were extensive. It is said the road had been mined or with fallen trees, which compelled the poiice to dismount asid take cover when the al tack was launched. The attacklng party employed bombs and used rifles from both sides ot the road.

The men in the ambuscade party closed in on the poiice from threu sides and com- pelled them to retreat toward Macroom. The fight continued until the auxilia- ries were in sight of that town.

It is believed prob ablo that, so far as the issue of the island of Yap concerns the cable set? tlement, it will be held in abevance bv tlie American commissioner until tlie discussions procceding between the United States and the Council of the League of Nalions have been concluded. Prior to tlie adjournment of tlie ccnfeicnce last December Japan and France were holding out against a set? tlement tentatively reached among Great Britain, Italy nnd the United States, but recently France is under rtood to have modilied her position and to havo shown a disposition to lean to the side of the other three powers. The delegates for thc present have decided to thrash out in informal con? ferenees among tlie affected the differervt which have arisen over the cable settlement, and for this reason there will bc no formal session again until some of the outstanding difficultits have been smoothed out, or until another nlenary session is deemed advisable.

Since thc last sessions of the con? ference the instructions awaitcd by some of the powers from their govern? ments have arrived, and this is ex? pected to expeditn the discussions. Allies Abandoii Sevres Treaty For Plebiseite Turks Agree to Vote in Disputed Arcas of Thrace and Smyrna, but Greeks Await Word From Athens Big Victory for Briand Agreement Provides for a Comrnission lo Decide on Claims of Rival Nations By Arthur S. Draper From Thc Tribune's European Bureau fopy right. 1921, New Vork Tribune lnc. LONDON, Feb.

Allied con fci-ence with Turkish leaders to-day sent the Treaty of Sevres to its death. The British and Greeks were outma iieuvcred and thc honors of the negotia? tions went. to Premier Briand, rcpre senting France, and -Bekir Samy Boy, of the Turkish Nationalist delegation. Thc cleverness of Briand's diplomatic stroke in getting thc Turks to agree to a plebiscite in the disputed districts of Thrace and Smyrna to determine whether they shall remain under Turk? ish sovereignty or go to Greece, as the Sevres pact provided, became more ap parent at to-day's sitting. When the proposition was put to the dclegations i formally, whether they were willing to let an intcr-Allied comrnission decide their rival claims and leave the re maindcr of the settlement in the hands of the Suprerne Council, the Turks ac i ceptcd with alacrity, but the Greeks made vigorous protest against any such arrangeinent.

Premier Kalogeropoulos 1 of Greece expressed his disapproval, but asked that he be permitted to delay answering until he had consulted Athens. Britain Frgcs Greek Approval The British government, it is inti niated to-night, realizing that a plebi? scite, even though distasteful to the Greeks, would be the best way out of thc situation, telegraphed King Con? stantine advising him to accept the pro posaL It is believed here that the Greek government undoubtedly will follow this recommendation. Thc success of this move not. only strengthened Briand politically, but it added new power to the growing strength of the. Angora rebel govorn tnent.

One feature of the conference has been the drawing together of the two Turkish factions, which, on their arrival here, were politically isolated. Briand's diplomacy is credited with bringing them into line. When mem? bers of both Turkish delcgations left St, James's Palace after to-day's ses? sion Bekir Samy Bey, of Angora, was laughing heartily at his own success, and even Tewfik Pasha, head of the Constantinople group, who left a sick bed lo attend the meeting, seemed pleased.

in the Near Fast. Out of hia succeos at this con? ference is bound to grow a closer rola tionship between the Constantinople and the Angora governments, and the belief is expressed here frequentiy that Kemal's rise to power foreshadow.5 the eventual Bwallowing up of the Sul tan's government by the Angora rebels. Thc Greeks are bitterly resentfu! over the outcome of thc London con? ferenees. peace haa come to the Near Kast. but actually all the old jealousics and bitterness The Armenians aro hardiy any better than they were before, and the situ? ation for other nationalitics in Turkev remains as unsettled.

The Pennsylvania Railroad plans another sharp cut in general operating and maintenance expenses, it was an? nounced to-day. A conference of gen? eral superintendents with Genpral Manager 0. S. Krick will take place hrrp to-morrow. "The new cut is made necessary by the continued low ratio of freight earn? ings to general expense," it was said at the general offices of the company.

"Whatever measures are decided upon there will be no cut in wage rate. "Following a conference here plans will be drawn up for the further cuts necessary. This will be about 10 per cent. Tha entire Pennsylvania system will share in whatever cuts are tna.de." Some curtailment of passenger serv? ice is being considered.

while Judge Gary was in Europe, that an international organization was in the making. Some' of the cables even went so far as to call it a trust, but these were later de nied. Other reports mentioned the' possible taking over by the Steel Cor- i pnration of Le Creusot Steel Works in i France, headed by Eugenc Schneider. I These also were denied. I Steel Trade Interested Yesterday's conference was wiftehed with particular interest in the financial district and by the trade, because of! ihe numcrous reports that the Steel Corporation and the independents would come to some agreement regard- inr a lower scale of prices.

The Steel Corporation is still adhering to the so- i called Industrial Board level, but buy- i era have stated recently that reduc-: tions must be made in order to stimu- late business. When the question of, prices was put up to Judge Gary he I said: "Prices were discussed at to-day's meeting only in a casual way. proposition was made to change the present situation."

Thc full facts as to these conditions are just beginning to come to light. It may take a Congressional investigation to illuminatc them com? pletely. Already there is talk of such an in? quiry.

Ono of the proposals is for a scarching investigation by a joint com? mittee of Congress. which would go to the islands and make a business like examination into Philippine affairs. Another proposal is that a competent commission of experts and reliable men be sent over. Neither of these plans may be fol? lowed, and the upshot of it may be that the new Governor General to be named by Mr. Harding will make his investigation.

If such a man as General Leonard Wood or W. Cameron Forbes is made Governor General it is probable. the. full burden of trying to rectify things in the archipclago will be thrown on his shouldcrs. A powerful movement on to have General Wood sent to the to undertake again a task of the same.

Ono of the most recent de? velopments in relation tn the bank concerns t.he Shanghai agency of the institution. It is known tha! the Shanghai, agency has lost money heavily. It suffered losses by selling exchange on New York and Loudon.

25 i By The Associated first attempt to sovietize a large plant in France, when the red fiag was raised to-day over a big elec? trical works under construction at Gemievilliers, ended in dismal failure, according to the poiice and military authorities. On the other hand, the of the Communists dcclare it was a complete success. The poiice and military draw their eonelustons from the fact. that not a single man is at work on the plant, while the leaders in the soviet move? ment point out that the red fiag is flying over the building as a token of victory. The troubls had its origin when the workmen refused to quit the place in spite of a lockout declared by the company, which had reduced wages be? cause the employees had slackened up in their work.

Louis Loucheur, the Minister of Liberated Regions, is in? terested in the company. An "'armed peace" is the situation to night, with hundreds of gendarmea and republican guards under Lieutenant Dubois and Poiice Commissioner Ge rardin patrolling the plant at Genne villiers. which is just to tlie nort'i of Paris, in the Department of the Seinc, while the workmen are assembled across the River Seinc in thc Depart ment of Seinc et Oise at Argenteuil singing the "Jnternationale" and pro claiming that they will the. works to-morrow morning.

Walks Out of Cage of Northern Trust of Chicago, With Liberty Bonds on Person Received Salarv Of $65 a Month Had Been With Bank 3 Years, Had Good Name and Lived With Mother Speeial Dlepalch to Thr Tribune CHICAGO, Feb. 25. -Liberty bonds having a par value of $772,000 were taken from the Northern Trust Com? pany at noon yesterday by William Dalton, a seventeen-year-old clerk in lhe trust department, according to an? nouncement made to-day by H. 0.

Ed monds, vice-president in charge of thc trust department. Despite thc presence of others in the cage, Dalton, it is charged, was able to conceal tlie bonds on his person and walk out, ostensibly to lunch. Thc theft was discovered two hours later, when M. L. Hanson, senior clerk, noted that Dalton had not re? turned.

The city police and a private detec? tive agency were notified immediately, but to-day have been unable to dis lover any trace of Dalton. The boy lived with his mother and sister, at 5ns Wilcox Street. A reward of $1,000 is offered by thc bank for Dalton's ap prchension, and $25,000 for recovery of thc bonds. Dalton had been employed by the bank for three years, and re? cently had been promoted to a junior elerkship. He was rcceiving $65 a month, Mr.

Edmonds said. Dalton was known in his neighbor? hood as a quiet, home-loving, church going boy, whose chief ambition was to become successful in business so that. he could provide eomforl.s for his widowed mother. The following deseription was issued py the bank to the police and detective agencies: "William Dalton. seventeen years cld; five feet three inches in height; '05 pounds: slendcr build; dark hair, mbed pompadour style, cut recently; wore a mixed gray and black suit.

William Dalton, who has been in their cniploy for three years, and who was stationed with others in the securities cage in the department, was sorting t.empo ry bonds preparatory to their being taken for exchange for permanent bonds. During the noon hour, although others were present. with Dalton in the eapre at the time, he managed to leave with a bundle of the bonds and get iway from the building undetected.

lhc loss was quickly discovered, but as yet Dalton has not been apprc hended. "The bonds taken were temporary f.er cent United States Liberty boiids pf the fourth issue, without coupons. The total par i-aluc is $772,000, of vhich four were for $10,000. nine for $6,000 and the remainder for $1,000. $500, $100 and $50.

Their total market was approximately $670,000, not registered. "For many years the bank has car? ried a blanket bond itsued by the un? derwriters of Lloyd's, of London, cov i-ring a loss such as this, which will cover a very substantial part of the ioss, if any results.
