OF THE TURKISH ENVOY

American relations with Turkey are so
unsettled, it has become known that
the State Department does not plan to
take any action toward the confirmation
Of Fuad Bey. named by Turkey as am
bassador. until that country gives consid-
GRAFTON to American representations and
interests.

the Turkish authorities in their treatment
Of the Syrians and Armenians and the

There were $4,000 applicants for
them last year. There are six times as

In the United States there are more
than six million men working in fac
tories who are receiving OF an average
of 1919 a year-at least they were in
1909, and even If their salaries have
been increased 20 per cent they are
receiving no more than our government
janitors. Most of them work ten hours
a day.
This money in the Treasury isn't

Unusual Test for Premier.
The first appearance of David Lloyd
George before the house Of commons as
premier was made in circumstances
seldom, if ever. faced by a new holder
OF the office. Even IL the peace pro-
posals of the central powers had not
interviewed his statement of the policy
OF his government. which was chosen
in reply to 1 public demand for more

corner of the world awaited the an

THE secret was 50 well kept that the
hest informed parliamentary corre-
spoudents differed as TO the treatment
the peace proposals would receive. The
Jondon papers which support the Lloyd
strongly
pressed the view that the government
had decided 4 conference on Germanys
terms would not be considered. Even
Ihe moderate provincial papers warned
the pacifists they had best make up
their minds that prompt refusal
would be Forthcoming. But the hope
was expressed in many quarters not
wittstanding the fact that the German
note contained terms. that Premier
lloyd George would be a little more
communicative .and give the central
powers some hint as to what they
would have to give as the price OF
peace.
Besides the peace proposals the pro-
n,ier had to deal with many questions
facing the new government, including
the drastic war emergency measures
the Irish and food problems and the
submarine menace.
Such was the interest in the speech
that every member Of the house OF
