TURKEY WANTST|ME
ACTION AT PEACE CONFERENCE
CALLS FORTH STORM
OF PROTEST.
AND WILL NOT TREAT With GREECE
Its Representative Tells Conference
His Government Must Feed Peo-
Pile at Adrianople Before
Negotiation Proceed.

London.-Turkey is playing the old
game of delay and has caused a fur
Their postponement of the oft-delayed
peace conference.
1t is evident the Turkish delegates
are trying to gain the right to provi-
sion Adrianople by consenting to in
clude Greece in the conference. The
allies are anxious to proceed with the
negotiations and have openly limited
that these delays must come to an
end.
Saturdays sitting was the most i'm
partant since the beginning of the con-
ference, as it was the first time the
opposite parties had come into Sc
rious engagement, which is preliminary
to the crucial question over the pos
session of Adrianople.
Turkish Delegates Speak.
The Montenegrin ex-premier, Miyus-
kovitch, who presided, seemed on ac-
count OF his rather severe and impe-
rlous aspect to be the best president
for the occasion of a stormy sitting.
When the president asked Rechad
Pasha to communicate in confidence
the answer which he had received from
Constantinople there was moment Of
GREATNESS silence.
Rechad Pasha arose and outlined the
instructions he had received to the
effect that Turkey should not treat
with Greece, as the latter state had
put herself out of the negotiations by
refusing to adhere to the armistice.
But, he added, wishing to show a len
lent spirit and a conciliatory DISPOSE
ton, and also out of regard for Europe,
Turkey was willing to treat on con-
dition that the allies in return granted
the privilege of revictualing Adrian
ople.
This, he pointed out, was simply a
humanitarian request, as, besides the
belligerents, there were more than
100000 people suffering from lack of
food. Revictualing this fortress, he
argued, would not change the situation
as it existed, at which time the Bulga-
rlans declared they could seize Adrian
ople Whenever they wished or force
Tchatalja.
Creates Sensation.
Rechad Pasha's statement caused a
great sensation and the Balkan dele
gates whispered among themselves.
The head of the Turkish delegation
continued to illustrate the Ottoman
viewpoint, which aimed to limit as
much apsossible disasters and suffer-
ings from the war by supplying to
Adrianople what was strictly necessary
to sustain life.
The conference will then be able to
proceed with it's work, he said, in the
knowledge that the town was not
starving while the delegates were ne
gotiating.
DR.. Daneff, the chief Bulgarian plen-
ipotentiary, eloquently countered with
solid arguments against Turkeys prop
osition. He recalled that the armistice
was an accomplished fact and was so
well defined that the delegates lacked
the power to change it, their mission
being circumscribed to the conclusion
of peace. With reference to peace, he
said, there was no limit to their pow
ers, but their credentials did not au-
thorize them to deal with incidents
either already solved or outside the
mission which brought them to Lon
don.

Reducing State Expenses.

The state is now paying over $780,
600 a year to aid the colleges of the
state. These are fine institutions but
the appropriations should be mostly
cut off and the money used to aid the
elementary schools and the orphans.
Only seven per cent of the children go
to college while 100 per cent are in
the elementary schools.
The expense of maintaining the
courts and the administration of
justice has crept up to $3.50, 900 year.
This is more than double what it was
a few years ago when there were just
about as many cases to be tried.
There ought to be saving of a hun
dred thousand dollars a year in this
item and could be. The lawyers of
the state who are responsible for this
increase should make a determined
effort to cut it down for this is a
bill that does not return dividends as
do the appropriations for highways,
schools and things of that character
