"I am not concerned about these positions, and would not interfere if I could, and could not if I would. They are simply party matters.

(By the Associated Press.) A note sent by the Greek government to the allies respecting the Intentions of Greece in Asia Minor emphasizes the view that the occupation of Constantinople fin the only mean? of bringing about peace and says Greece has made arrangements with that purpose in view. The note begs the Allies to Issue the necessary orders to the armv of Brigadier General Sir Charlel Harrington, commander of the Al lied forces in Constantinople and says it is confident difficulties will not be Imposed in the way of Greece. The notie adds that by the neutralization of Constantino ple, the Allies are protecting in stead of coercing Turkey and thus depriving Greece of means for im posing peace. , The Turkish atrocities, the note continues, make it vital for Greece to adopt more energetic measures against the Turks, but' that the Greek government ia willing to discuss the matter with the Allies. General Harrington's declara tion that he will oppose by force any move toward Constantinople has caused deep discouragement and disappointment In- Greece aa tha 'newspapers had been leading mi peopie n Deueve ureejt- occu patton of Constantinople would not be resisted by the Allies.

I will not mention some un pleasant matters that will throw Xrticular light on the subject, but 111 call to the minds ot tne peo e a few facts which confirm my pinion In the matter. "Mr. Tolbert poses as a. large farmer, whereas the record In fireenwood county shows that he loes not pay a cent ot taxes, ex cept . a dollar poll tax, and the Irecords In the Municipal- State knd the Federal Courts both on the -civil and criminal side show that his record is an unenviable one. I do not mean to say that it is nt -ssary for a man to own property to hold office;, faT be it from me to take any such post ilion, but TOlbert is sailing under f alse colors. says He Is Spoilsman of the Worst Class. "Mr. Tolbert's conduct since he (has been appointed 'referee' has known him to be a spoilsman of! nhe worst class. For instance, tinder the practice of this admin-I titration in selecting postmasters. the Civil Service Commission sends po the Postofflce Department ths three names making the highest marks, and this department dele gates to Tolbert the 'referee hhe right to select -whichever he hooses.

Up to today the most optimistic forecast of the railroads position on the compromise was that there would at least be a prolonged dis cussion of the terms before it was accepted. The sentiment opposed to acceptance was known to bs strong but whether this would be sufficiently offset as a result of Mr. Harding's several conferences with transportation chiefs early this week was one of the conjec tural, elements Of the situation. Executives who have declared themselves as opposed to resign ing their announced position on the seniority Issue have estimated that from 160,000 to $00,000 men are enrolled on the rosters of the railroads as having remained loyal during the strike crisis despite ths strongest Inducements.
