THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3. lDzt. Coiistantiiie Says Greeks and Turks Cannot Asree - Grecian Kin Declares He Does Not Regard Pfational ,ist Leader as Person Worthy ; to Be Dealt With. Athens. Feb. 2. (By The Asso ciated Fress) Direct ' negotiations for the settlement of near eastern problems between the Greek and Turkish nationalists are impossible, said King Coiistantiiie today. He indicated he was not averse to con versations between Greek represcn- tatives 4nd delegates chosen by the sultan's government, if such proce dure was dictated by the interests of Greece ' Whether this attitude ou the part of the Greek kinp would have any hcarinpf on 'the near east conference to be hela in London late this month, was not disclosed by Cony stantine, but he made it evident his government would refuse to recog nize Mustapha Kemal Pasha, head of the furkish nationalists, or his delegates. . ' Constantine declared he would make no overtures to former Pre mier Veni?elos, who is at iresent in France, stating M. Venizelos must take the initiative, I Doesn't Recognize Kemal , "I do not reTognize Mustapha Jvetnal as aperson vvortfry to be dealt with," said the king. "Why does Europe make all this fuss over an outlaw? Mustapha v Kemal is only a big bluff: a big bubble, and w e could blow hhn off the map as we would blow a fly off the table. If it seems wise after the London conference for. Greece to enter into negotiations with , the responsible Tufki&li government in Constanti nople, we will not hesitate to take that step, but any' discussion must take cognizance of our right to hold Smyrna and Thrace. This is not an imperialistic policy. It is our na tional policy. We must protect our people outside the home land." M. Gounaris, minister of war, will go io London as one of the Greek delegates, as he is a leader of the dominant political party, and King Constantine asserted he did not see how the allies could refuse to accept the minister if he was the choice of - the government and people. ' Hopes for "U. S. Recognition. Constantine said he had no in formation that the United States would soon recognize him, but add- cd he was naturally hopeful such action would be taken. -He said he was glad, to see that President-elect Harding had expressed friendly sentiments toward Greece, in a com munication to a Greek-American re publicans club. Reports that the Greek army in Asia Minor had suf fered a defeat in recent operations 'were denied by ConstaAtine, who . said the Greeks had won a complete victory. , - "We have smashed the Turkish nationalists everywhere we have met ; them,'" he asserted.

More than 100 Poles and Lithuanians, are quitting Chicago every day. Every train tor the south bears away negroes who are unable to find employment here, or what is more vital, they can find no place to live. An apartfnent building housing 60 negro families was s bombed and burned this morning and the "home less, ones have nowhere to turn ex cept back to the south. ' , The '.Poles and Lithuanians are leaving because of retrenchment in the packing and steel industries. They fear an era of hard. times, or at bst a chiseling down in all work, in which pYocess Americans and men of families will have first chance at whatever work is be had..

Germany does not consider the terms of reparation de cided upon by the supreme allied council at Paris last week as being the final settlement of the Indemnity question, but the basis of future negotiations. This was indicated by Dr. Walter pinions, foreign minister, who spoke on the repara tion questicu.before the Reichstag yesterday. . His address was viewed as a cautious statement 4y party leaders who were willing informaUy to dis cuss' it. The prevalent opinion was that Dr. Simons had not burned his bridges behind him, and that "this presentation of the Grman attitude might enable him to gam important time, both in anticipating the-, alti tude of -the nc American ad ministration and ii reaching a definite settlement ol the fate of uooer Silesia. " S Rumors have been current that the present German cabinet would re sign, but they have been given little credence. Only the communists stand out as the opposition. The opinion was also quite universally expressed that the independent so cialists could adopt no other atti tude than one of stern opposition to the reparation conditions, under which the proletariat would be the greatest sufferers. This view vas promptly subscribed to by majoritv socialists, who have made it knowR they would stand by the present gov ernment. "The reparation demands are above all a blow at the German workingman," Dr. ' Eduard David, majority socialist leader and former member of the ministry, declared in talking with The Associated Press.
