TltC Turks in Paris.
(NCW York Tim CE.)

Tor tho third tjmc group of blGnfeless delegates repr c5enting a people spotlessly innocent, has ap- beared before the peace conference o~oxpla in that wicked and Unscrupu- Iots, persons rushed 'them into the vaT when they were looking the oth- CT way. After the Germans and ,4ustrians the Turks; when Magyars and Bulears have been added to the list we shall have before us an un- para1leled exhibition of pure nno- cense and freedom from Suilc, It seems that neither the Sultan nor l7iS people had anything to. do. with going 10 war; if was all due to so- cret agreem cnt between the Kaiser and the committee of union and progress. supported by the naval guns of Admiral ron Souchon. So the present. grand vizier submits St hat it wouR be only fair to allow thB Turk ish empire to remain intact--a htNc gall, 10 let the Sultan keep Constsn- = tinople, since Asia Minor has been reduced to a desert by the war;
 Who reduced Asia Minor to a des- ert? The Russians got into one cor ner of it; few French and British troops campcd for few weeks on the .ASi2tlC SldG 01 me I'9f0aneIlcS, otherwise, no troops have been in Asia Minor but Germans and Turks. The Turkish delegates do not explain who reduced Armenia to a desert: :: who massa cred thousands of Greeks and deported hundreds of thousands more; nor. as vet. have they offered any plausible reason why the Turks did not awake to the cnornlitY of tho conspiracy between 'thefr leaders and the Germans until Allenhy had ami Inflated their armies, and Germany was plainly falling to- ruin.e That Turkey's entry into the war was due 10 conspiracy between EnNer and his group and tho Germans is true enough. but the conscienCe of the Turk does not seem. to have been af- fronted by the. plot: it gave him a chance to indulge in the national sport of killing Christians

HUN MILITARISM TO BE
REDUCED TO NOTHING

Paris, March 19.-The first rough
outlines Of the peace Treaty. are be-
ginning to take form as a result Of
the rapid disposal of the main ques-
tions before the council of the great
powers. The preliminary draft win
be wen along with the present week
and with the arrival Of President
Wilson final revision win proceed so
as to have the document ready for
presentation by the end of next week
and thus conform to Marshal Foch's
limit of March 20, though the Brit
ism apparently are inclined to doubt
the possibility Of carrying out the
programme on time,
The treaty promises to be a long
document, chiefly owing to detailed
provisions concerning the German mill
itary system and methods for its
control by the allies. 1t viii embody,
however, only five or six main divi-
sions:
First Military. aerial and naval
terms.
Seeond-Reparation for the war
damages.
Third German boundaries.
Fourth ~ Economic and financial
provisions; and probably,
Fifth Responsibilities for the war.
All these main subjects are in AMI
advanced stage and have been either
adopted or agreed on in principle, |
with the exception Of some reserved /
points on which President Wilson and
the premiers are to take final action.
The military terms adopted yes
terday were in the hands Of the draft
ing experts today to be put in the
form of articles of the treaty. The
naval and aerial terms are agreed
to except as to reservations regard /
ing the disposal of the large German
ships and the dismantling of Helgo- I
land and the Kiel canal. Germany's |
eastern, western and northern bound
aries are now before the council or in
he committee on reports. The east
ern and northern boundaries are to
De determined Thursday. The west
srn boundary will be settled Friday
The consideration of Preparations is
jet for Saturday, though this question
nay go beyond that time This
.oveps all the principal subjects, ex-
.ept for responsibility for the war.
1t is the desire Of the French to
rave this made an integral part of
he treaty, so as to settle the ques-
ion, and this may be conceded,
hough it is an open question.
