dated st. Petersburg, December q In this note it Is
stated that Russia accepts the third point relative the
naturalization of the Black Sea, In the following sense
That Turkeys right to close the Straits be maintained
thas ships-ofwar be admitted In the Black Sea- ex-
cepDg those of Russia and Turkey that the number of
ships to be maintained be mutually arranged by Russia
and Turkey and that it be ratified BY direct special
treaty between these two Powers without the inter
ference Of other nations" This Interpretation the allies
consider to be inadmissible.
