IBy Associated Press.l

Paris, Aug 15.-The main council or
the peace conference is industriousiy
studying various plans suggested for
a division of Thrace in such man
ner as to he acceptable to Greece ana
Bulgaria as well as England ana
France, which are vitally interested IN
the disposition to be made of European
Turkey.
Uncertainty as to what country VIII
receive the mandate for Constantinopie
and surrounding territory complicates
the situation almost hopelessly, as IN
terested powers are striving to protect
their own interests regardless of VINO
gets Constantinople. Italy and Greece
apparently have reached an under
standing so that the United States can
stand virtually alone in supporting
Bulgaria's claim for an outlet to the
Aegean sea. The Bulgarians assert
that only by giving them such an out
let can another Balkan war be avoid
ed. A dozen different plans for the
dividing and disposing Of Thrace nave
been considered during the last Week.
but the one most likely to be accepted
as the compromise, altho opposed by
Greece, contemplates an International
ICED zone extending from the Burgar-
ian border to Dedagatch, on the Ae-
gean sea. Western Thrace would go
to Greece, and she would also be given
a strip eastward from Dedagatch eX-
tending from the Aegean to the Black
sea, including the port of Media. The
territory Immediately about CONSTANT

ing the mandate there. This interna-
tionalized zone would be under the ad-
ministration OF the league of nations.

The effort to provide Bulgaria with
an outlet to the Aegean sea by mes
of an internationalized railroad to Ded-

with success. American delegates pe-
lieve it Is impossible to lnternationaiize

SAYS ECONOMIC
LAWS MUST WORK
Senator Reed, Of Missouri, in Speech
on High Cost Of Living Says Many
Remedies Proposed Are Futile Be-
cause They Disturb Operation of
Natural Economic Laws.

Washington, Aug. 15.-High cost Of
living Is the result of operation Of
fundamental and immutable laws
and lower living costs will come, to
a large degree only from operation Of
these natural laws, Senator Reed, DEM
ocrat, Of Missouri, declared in an ad-
dress In the senate today.
Many Of the remedies being pro-
posed to reduce living costs, Senator
Reed asserted, are futile because they
are artificial and designed to disturb
operation Of natural economic tenden-
cies. Increase in production, the Mis-
souri, senator declared, would be the
greatest factor toward reducing prices
There are two great principles II
economies and finance which can not
be disregarded and which no amount
Of legislation can effectually control"
said Mr.. Reed. First, whenever the
demand for any great necessity ma
terially exceeds the supply, an in
crease in price Is inevitable. Converse
ly, when the supply exceeds the de-
mand. decrease in price follows. The
latter condition may be temporarily
affected by combinations artificially
Withholding the supply and control
ling the market. But, no combination
Of men and no decress of government
have ever been able to transmute Il
deficiency into plenty or to remove the
natural lon2ings for n necessary article
which cannot be obtained ,~-..--
Second, a radical increase in the
number of dollars in circulation results
in decrease in the purchasing power
Of the dollar.
ANY device, plan ,or scheme, there
fore, which will have a tendency to
lessen production and discourage en-
terprise or to arrest industry, will, in
stead OF bringing lower prices increase
present excessive prices by under pro-
duction."
