SURROUNDED BY TURKISH FORCES SOUTHERN ARMY OF GREECE SURRENDERS Turks Within Forty Kilometre* of Smyrna and on Coaat of Algean Sea Hellenic Government Offers to Evacuate Asia Minor Greek LOM During Offensive Esti- mated at About 50,000. A despatch from Constantinople eays: A telegram announces that at 11 o'clock Thursday morning the Greek Government made, through the Allied High Commissioners, a request to the Angora representative in that city for an armistice, the Greeks to evacuate all Asia Minor. If the re- quest is granted it is expected that representatives of the two govern- ments will meet in a neutral zone to draw up the terms of the armistice. It is not, however, considered likely that the Turks will grant an armistice, at least until the present offensive has either reached its goal or has been checked, as there is Mill possibility it might be on the outskirts od Smyrna. The latest telegrams state that the Turks are now within 40 kilometres of Smyrna and that the whole South- ern Greek army had been surrounds and has surrendered. The Greek loss- mated at 50,000, among whom 15,000 are prisoners. A wholesale concentration of Greek able relief auppiies, medicines and workers in the Near East shipped to Smyrna. , Latest advices received here from Angora confirm previous reports tha the Turkish Nationalist army num bers 350,000 men. Of this number 200,000 men are engaged in the offens- ive operations against the Greeks. The remaining 150,000 are being held in reserve. A telegram from Angora reiterate the assertion that General Tricoupis the new Commander-in-Chief of th Greek army in Asia Minor, and sev era! other Greek generals were mad prisoners 'by the Turks on the even ing of September 2. The despate adds: "They were taken to the heac quarters of the Kemalist forces where they were treated as guests o Mustapha Kemal Pasha." A despatch from Paris says: i column of 4,000 Kemalist cavalryme 1 occupied Bender, 30 mites from Smyrna, and are advancing on Smyr na, says a Havas despatch from Adana dated Thursday.

By Allied agreement France's share is 52 per cent, Great Britain's 22, Italy's 10, Belgium's 8, and the remainder divid- ed among Jugo-Slavia, Caecho-Slo- vakia, Roumania, Japan and Portugal. The Reparation Commission decided that the total debt should be divided into three categories: "A" bonds, $3,000,000,000; "B" bonds, $9,500,- 000,000, and "C" bonds, $20,500,000,- 000.

Indirect payments were also made amounting to $35,688,250, bringing the total cash from Germany during 1921 to $296,043,000. Germany also furnished goods valued at $690,835,500 ant} the value of state properties in ceded territories was credited against reparations at the rough value of $626,085,500. Thus the Allies col- lected from Germany during 1921 $1,621,964,000. 1922 During 1922 and up to March 22 Germany paid $70,487,230.12.

Most of, these vessels were wrecked or atoan-j doned at sea. Some were broken uipt ashore as too old for farther use.) Others vanished after departing from! their ports. The destruction amount-j ed to approximately 1 per cent, ofj the total merchant marine of all na-i tions. Of the 559 ships, excluding all o#i less than 100 tons, 344 of 536,587 tons 1 were steamers and motor vessels and^ 215 of 157,720 tons were sailing boats.' The record for the year, while* heavy, was a return to normal com-' pared with the wholesale sinkings registered during hostilities. At tha height of submarine activities in 1917| 2,605 steamers of 6,607,000 tons and! 748 sailing ships of 520,000 tons werej lost at sea.
