THRACIAN QUESTION NOT YET SETTLED
Frank |. Polk, Head of American Peace Delegation Holds Conference

Paris, Aug. 16, (By The Associated American peace delegation, had a long conference yesterday with Premier Venizelos on the Thracian question. They discussed various plans to adjust the situation, but the conference end, ed with the question apparently no nearer settlement #
 The effort to provide Bulgaria with an outlet to the Aegean Sea by. means of an Snternationalized railroad to Dedeag agatch does not seem to be meet. ing with success. American delegates believe it is impossible to interna- tionalize the railroad without grant ing surrounding territory to Bulgaria.
 The supreme council of the peace conference is studying various plans suggested for a division of Thrace i'll such < manner as to be acceptable to Greece and Bulgaria, as we'll as England and France, which are vii tally interested in the.sdisposition to be made of European Turkey.
 Uncertainty as to what country will receive the mandate of Constant1- nople and surrounding territory com
 
 lessly, as interested powers are all striving to protect their avn interests regardless of who gets Constant:- nople. A
 The Allies and. Greece have appar- ently reached an understanding, so that the United States stands virtual ly alone in supporting Bulgarias s claim for an outlet to the Aegean Sea. The Bulgarians assert that only by giving them such an outlet can an- other Balkan war be avoided.
 A dozen different plans for the di- viding and disposing of Thrace have been considered during the past week but the one most likely to be &C.,. cepted as compromise although op- posed by Greece contemplates an internationalized zone extending from the Bulgarian border to Dedagatch on the Aegean sea. Western Thrace would go to Greece and she would also be given a strip eastward from Dedeagatch extending from the Aeg- can to the Black Sea, including the port of Midia. The territory im- mediately about Constantinople would go to the country receiving the man. date there. This internationalized zone would be under the adminstra- stion of the league of nations.
 9 The plan violates the rights of ma ' iorities and separates districts to be given Greece but it is apparently impossible to reach an agreement on any hlan which would make this region less of crazy quilt. The plan gives Adrianople to Greece which is regarded as unsatisfactory as that city is considered sacred by the Moham- medans. There is great difference of opinion regarding the exact size of the proposed nationalized zone and new suggestions are offered at every meeting of the council.
