TURKISH PROBLEM PUZZLES
Peace Conference Trying to Avoid Re-
liQious War.

Iigious War.
Paris, May 23.--The Turkish prob
lem has become most acute in the
Peace conference. Various delega-
tions are striving to find some solu-
tion for the dismemberment OF the
empire which will not provoke . re-
ligious war.
The United States is being looked
upon as the only nation which can
become the mandatory for CONSTANT
nople without the danger of precipi-
tating another war.

President w. H. p. Faunce Of
Brown University Addresses
Northern Baptists.
CLASS RULE IS BLIND
Speaker Asserts Nationalism, Which
Aims to Bring Prosperity to One
Nation at Expense of Others,
is Teuton Doctrine.

Denver, May 23.-W. H. p. Faunce,
president of Brown university, declar-
ing nationalism, which sought to bring
prosperity to one nation at the ex-
pense of others, is German doctrine,
and that no league of nations COM
posed of purely selfish nations can en-
dure, told the Northern Baptist con-
vention that he was in favor of a
league of nations which should be
backed by the good will of all men,
ber nations.
Degrading Labor lntoIerable.
Labor that degrades and stunts
personality cannot be tolerated In a
Christian land" he said.
Speaking of the present social and
Industrial unrest, he said: "Class rule
is always blind and hateful. Chris.
tianity knows no class and will sub
nit to none. Democracy is clumsy but
Christian autocracy is smooth-running
but sure in the end to run upon the
rocks.
'The laboring man who regards all
employers as his natural foes is blind
to the facts as they are, is a poor
helper in any enterprise and is not
fitted to function in a Christian socie-
ty. The employer who regards all la
boring men with suspicion and fear Is
not fitted to function in a Christian So
ciety, and is menace to the state"
Foreign Missions Society Reports.
The report of the American Baptist
Foreign Missions society, submitted at
the opening session today, requests
$2,175,573 TO carry on the work of
the ensuing year. Reconstruction work
of activities curtailed by the war are
chief reasons set forth in the request
for an increased appropriation.
The society spent $S6,312 more in
the year ending March 81 than in the
previous year, although funds avail
able were $l11,017 under the figure
fixed in the budget as approved by the
last convention. The money spent to-
tails $1,131,973. This does not include
various expenditures for which special
appropriations were made.
Hundreds of missionaries took up
war relief work when their usual du-
ties were interrupted by the war, the
report says. In India, famine and
unrest have rendered missionary work
difficult; influenza removed a large
number of native Christian workers,
and cholera has claimed big death
toll, the report says.

COERCION TO FOLLOW
Allied Plans Complete If Germany
Refuses to Sign.
Economic Pressure May Be Resorted
to, With Military Operations
Later On.

Washington, May %. - Repeated
statements by German officials of
various ranks that Germany cannot
consent to accept the peace treaty in
the form presented have led officials
In Washington to give serious consid-
Grafton to the course to be pursued in
the event of the failure of the Paris
conference to bring ssbout the restora.
tion of peace in the near future.
While announcement has come from
Paris that the Supreme Council has
framed plans for dealing in military
way with the situation in the event of
a refusal of the Germans to sign the
treaty, 1t is assumed here that before
recourse was had to the use of troops
an effort would be made to bring the
Germans to terms through economic
pressure.
Officials here believe this would re-
suit in the speedy collapse of the pres
ent German government under the at
tacks of the Socialist elements, which
peace upon any terms.
In their calculations officials do not
overlook the possibility that the re.
pudiation of the treaty by Ebert's gov
ernment might be so popular In Ger
many as to insure his support by a
majority of the people, in which case
the only course open would be the re.
sumption of the war and a military oc-
cupation of Germany

SUFFRAGE IN SENATE
Fight Shifted to Upper Body Fol.

Quick Committee Action Promised by
Senator Johnson-Antis Doubt
Senate Majority.

Washington, May 23.-Suffragists
have moved their camp to the senate,
where they hope to obtain, within a
few weeks, the favorable vote SUBJ
mitting the national suffrage amend
ment to the states for ratification.
Following their 304 to SO victory in
the house, suffrage leaders predicted
the senate, on its third opportunity in
two sessions, will finally approve the
resolution
Immediate Senate Action Planned.
Senator Hiram Johnson, scheduled
to be chairman of the suffrage commit
tee, announced that IL he Is given that
place, he will lose no time in bringing
the suffrage amendment up.
Il will get the committee together
as soon as possible" he said.
Immediate committee action will
bring the question before the senate
before the League of Nations and
peace treaty or other great problems
engross it,"
The vote is expected to be much
closer in the senate than in the house
and may not be reached SO quickly
as In the house, where there was but
two hours debate before the vote.
Antis Doubt Majority.
Senate "antis" said the suffrage
claims of 65 votes for the resolution
are "extravagant"
The two votes on suffrage in the
senate last session showed suffragists
gaining. The first. In October, 1918,
showed two lacking. The second, last
February, showed one vote needed.

Berlin Soldiers and Workers
Council Insists on Signing
of Treaty With Allies.
ITALY MUST EXPLAIN
Called on by Allies to Tell Why Her
Soldiers Were Landed In Turkey
Orlando Asks Venizelos
to Withdraw.

Berlin, May 23.-The greater Ber-
LII soldiers and workers council has
adopted a resolution demanding that
the peace treaty be signed and ap-
pealing to the proletariat of the AL
lied countries.
One hundred thousand independent
socialists staged a demonstration in
the Lustgarten in favor of immediate
peace. They bore numerous red flags
and banners with the inscription, I'VE
Want Only Peace, Bread and Work"
After they had been addressed by
several speakers, the Independent So
cialists marched to Wilhelmplatz,
where $4,000 majority socialists were
conducting demonstrations against the
treaty.
Before the appearance of the inde-
pendents, Chancellor Philip Scheide-
man, addressing the crowds, declared
that protest is Germany's only re-.
naming weapon"
Ask Italy to Explain.
Paris, May 22-It has been learned
In trustworthy quarters that the
United States, Great Britain and
France have united in sending a note
to Italy, requesting an explanation of
the landing of Italian forces in Tur-
key.
Premier Vittorio Orlando is said e.
have made reply to the Council of
Four after a sharp personal incident
during which he objected to the pres
ence of Premier Eleutherios Venizelos
of Greece. The latter retired from the
meeting.
In evident anticipation of a Greek
mandate to administer the Smyrna
district, allied forces were landed at
Smyrna last Thursday, meeting with
considerable resistance from the
Turks. Italian troops were reported
to have participated. The Italians had
previously landed forces at Adalia on
the southern coast of Asia Minor and
likewise disembarked troops at Bud
rum, SO miles southeast of Smyrna
and at Makri on the gulf of Makri In
the village of Smyrna.
There has been nothing to indicate
that these landings were not by agree.
ment among the allies.
Some of the unofficial forecasts as
to the probable division of Turkish
territory under League OF Nations
mandatories had indicated the prob.
ability that Italy would be given the
Adalia district to administer.

not accepted an invitation from the
city solicitor to attend a conference.
