FATE Of OTTOMAN
EMPIRE At STAKE

PARIS, Sept. 30 (By the Associated
Press What will be the fate of the
Ottoman empire and what sort of peace
it will receive are subjects that are
predominating peace conference circles
now that the German and Austrian
treaties have been signed and the Bull
garian treaty delivered.
There is no question concerning which
more uncertainty and hesitation have
been displayed by the conference than
that of Turkey. At various times since
last December 1t has discussed three
solutions for the situation, first. wheth-
er II was desirable to dsmember Tur-
key; second, whether Turkey should be
allowed to retain its prewar position in
Europe, and, third whether the sultan
should be retained or dismissed.
The question of the removal of Turk
ish influence from European affairs
dates back more than a century and
each time Europe has had to face IT,
Europe has decided for the maintenance
of the Turks as 1t was calculated that
the complete dissolution of the Turkish
empire would cause bitter competition
for the city. which is considered the
most coveted of any in the world.
The French point OF view in peace
conference and political circles is that
the disappearance of Turkey or its
transfer to the suZerainty of one or
more of the powers does not appear de
sirable French financial interests In
Turkey are greater than those OF all
the other countries together.
1t is believed in high quarters here
that the French point of view at the
coming conference OF Turkey probably
will be for the retention Of the Turkish
empire In Europe as solution most
ltkely to be satisfactory to all con-
anrnad

BELGIUM CLAIMS
PRIORITY PAYMENT

Paris, April Al. n. S.)-The big
four has granted Belgium's claim of
priority payment from Germany, it
was understood this afternoon, al
though there has been no official
statement on the subject.
King Albert came to Paris from
Brussels by airplane, and for two
days has been pressing Belgiums
claims. Close advisers to President
Wilson have been insisting upon the
justice of Alberts demands. Accord
ing to report, Belgium is to get $780,
100000 from Germany.
Thus when Albert returns he will
have news that will flood his war
stricken country with sunshine of
prosperity. In other respects the con-
ference continues to furnish little
more than guesses.
Within the past six hours, reports
have been circulated that the big
four had virtually agreed upon the
of the Sarre valley and
the question of reparation, and then
again that the big four had agreed
upon nothing and were calling in the
to consider further their
on these two problems.
1t was reported in one breath that
the redraft of the league of nation is
ready, and in the next that it would
not be ready for several days.
Some of the other reports and
counter reports are:
"The league of nations may have a
double home to satisfy Geneva.
Lenine has proposed to make peace.
Lenine has not proposed to make
peace"

ethical. philosophical and religious. So
cieties of Germany have addressed an
appeal to President Wilson giving
warning against a disregard OF prin-
ciples to which Mr.. Wilson has pledged
himself, which they claim induced
Germany to lay down her arms. The
appeal declares that ''if the Germans
are driven to desperation. they would
rather become bolsheviki than slaves"
and charges the Czechs and Poles with
anticipating the conclusions of the
peace conference and violating the
Wilsonian principles. 1t says the allies
are not ''eondoning the acts of the
Czechs and Poles. but are supporting
other nations"
1t is maintained the allies provoked
anarchistic conditions in Germany by
refusing to relax the blockade.
In discussing the possibility OF a re-
vival of militarism. the appeal says:
only one thing could again weld the
Germans of every state into a warlike
power-the continuation of the policy
of hate and annihilation that has been
pursued by tine allies"
Mr.. Wilson Is warned that the United
States with its great private fortunes
and billion dollar trusts is a fertile
field for communism" and II Is sug-
gested that wealthy Americans had
better support the league Of nations"

secretary for Ireland. calling upon

tary occupation of Ireland for the

and lawlessness."
Mr.. MACPHERSON expressed the be-
lief that lf-determination. for Ire
land is impossible under the Sim
Fein organization.
The chief secretary backed UP the
proposals of Sir Edward Carson, the
unionist leader ofN4lster, for better

term of education in Ireland and an
nounced that plans are under way ito
make Ireland one of the most pros
porous countries in the world, but 1t
must be freed from terrorism and the
menace OF Sim Feinism."
Mr.. MACPHERSON said he. believed
Sim Feinism would stif1e both in

Answering the declaration Of T. P.
O'Connor that England's refusal TO
reconcile Ireland is estrangling
America, Robert John Lynn. a mem
ber of commons from Belfast, said
that. the vast majority of Americans
are ssuninterested in Ireland, except

"the sleepy Rip Van Winkle of Brit
ish politics" after Sir Edward had
spoke at length in behalf of better
educational and housing methods for
Ireland and declared that the loyal

TO help England.

of Ulster might be accepted as an
