ALLIES FEAR START
0FIRELIGIOUS WAR
Handling of Sultan a Delicate
Problem.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, May 21.-The Turkish problem
has become most acute In the Peace Con-
ference. Various delegations are striv-
ing to ind some solution for the dismem-
'herment OF the empire which will not
provoke a religious war
The United States is being looked to
by the other Powers as the only nation
which can become the mandatory for
Constantinople without the danger Of
precipitating another European war. but
the American delegates to the Peace
Conference express doubt of the willing
ness of the United States to accept the
mandate, especially under the conditions
which the Powers have outlined
With the Sultan removed from Con-
stantinople, the American delegates ex-
pressed the belief that It might be pos
sible for the American public to become
reconciled TO the mandate. However
the Indian delegation which has ap-
peared before the Council Of Four to
plead for special consideration for the
feelings of the Mohammedan world. as
well as other Mohammedans who have
made statements. ssert that the Sultan
must not be forced out of Const antino-
pie. declaring that such action would
greatly affect his standing in the church
Consequently Great Britain IL seeking
to have the Sultan remain in Constan-
tfnople as mead OF the M0Slem faith but
with purely spiritual powers
I 1t Is now suggested that instead Of
transferring the Sultan to a strip of
territory somewhere In Asia Minor
he remain in Constantinople, but be al
lowed to exercise a degree OF temporal
power over some territory In Asia Minor
to pc selected. thus preserving the form
or the ottoman Empire. Such a plan
1t IS asserted. would prevent the oblitera-
ton Of Turkish pre-war debts and neces-
state the framing OF a peace treaty
with the empire.
The American Commission discussed
this plan yesterday. but apparently there
was considerable difference OF opinion
among the delegates. Some OF them
feel that the United States probably
would be unwilling to accept the Con-
stantinople mandate under any condi-
tons in the event II accepts the man
date for Armenia. which would require
a large number of American troops until
such time as native forces could be
organized and the unsettled conditions
controlled.
Military experts declare that Constan-
tinople could be controlled entirely by
the navy and policed under direction
Of the marines. The probable military
force necessary to restore order in Ar
menia and protect the Armenians from
their aggressive neighbors has been
rariously estimated at from 80, 900 to
100000
