TURKISH PROBLEM PRESENTS CRISIS
 TO PEACE COUNCIL
Desire United States to Be come Mandatory for Con-
 stantinople.
(By The Associated Press.)

\Dy lHC ASSOClttCcU ITcSS.J
 Paris, May 2l.-The Turkish prob lem has become most acute in the peace conference. Various delegations are striving to find some solution for the dismemberment of the en- pire which will not provoke religious war.
 The United States is being looked to by the other powers as the only nations which can become the manda- tory for Constantinople without the danger of precipitating another Euro- pean war, but the American delegates to the peace conference express doubt of the willingness of the United States to accept the mandate, .espec- ially under the conditions which the powers have outlined
 With the sultan removed from Constantinople, the American dele gates expressed the belief that it mipbt be possible for the American public to become reconci'ed to the mandate However, the Indian dele gation which has appeared before the council of four to plead for special consideration of the feeling of the Mohammedan world as we'll as other Mohammedans, who have made state ment, assert that the sultan must not be forced out of Constantinople, de- claring that such action would great lv affect his standing in the church. Consequently Great Britain is seeking to have the sultan remain in Constan- tinople as head of the Moslem faith, but with purely spiritual powers.
 Sultan May Remain.
 It is now suggested that instead of transferring the sultan to strip of territory somewhere in minor. that he remain in Constantinople, but he allowed to exercise degree of temporal power over some territory in Asia-nninor to be selected. thus pre- servine the form of the Ottoman en- pire. Such a p'an it is asserted. would prevent the obliteration of Turkish rre-war debts and necessitate the framing of a peace treaty with the empire.
 The American commission discuss ed this plan yesterday but annarently there was no considerable difference of oninion among the delegates. Some of them feel that the United States probably would be unwilling to ac- cent the Constantinople mandate under any conditions in the event it accents the mandate for Armenia. which would reauire a large number of American troops until such time as native forces could be organized and the unsettled conditions con- trolled.
 Military experts declare that Con- stantinople could be controlled entire lv bv the navy and policad under dir ection of the marines. The probable military force necessary to restore order in Armenia and protest the Armenians from their aggressive neighbors has been variouslv estindat- ed at from 5O,000 to 100000.

Grant Seven Days.
(By The Associated Press.

(By The Associated Press.)
 A period of seven days of grace has been extended to Germany by the representatives of the allied and associated governments in which the German peace plenipotentiaries may conclude their study of the peace treaty and formulate such replies to the various clauses as they desire
 The extension of time, which ori- ginally, was to have expired at noon Thursday, was set forward to Thurs day, May 29th, at the request of the Germans, who advanced the plea that more time was, reauired in order that they might formulate arguments of much importance.
 Almost simultaneously with the request by the peace plenipotentiar- ies, for more time, comes from Ber- lin statement of the German cabi- net that Germany is unwilling to sign the peace treaty. The document is a reiteration. although in strong words, of the views of the foremost statesmen in Germany, that the seal ing of the compact would spell the ruin of the former empire.

s Engine Caused Delay.

lby The 'ASSOclaLe0 Pf0SS)
 Ponta Delgada, May 21.--Engine trouble caused the postponement to- day of the flight of the NC-4 from Ponta Delgada to Lisbon, which 1t had planned to start at daybreak today. The crew boarded the plane two hours before sunrise to tune up the motors After making three unsuc- cessful attempts to take off with one engine functioning improperly, Lieut.. Commander A. c. Read decided that it was too late to remedy the trouble this morning in order to take of in time to make the flight to Lisbon in daylight hours.
 Thousands of persons who crowded the decks of ships in the harbor and vantage points and water front were disappointed at the failure to start today. Commander Read is confident that the engine trouble Is not import- ant and that 1t will be remedied in time to begin the flight to Lisbon at daybreak tomorrow, weather permit ting.
 Crowds of souvenire hunters who tried to get pieces of the NC-3, the flagship of the flight, which Is moored in the harbOr here, made it necessary today for the naval authorities to is- sue orders that the ship be guarded day and night.

 By Blaze.

Mobile, Ala, May 21.-Probably 200 structures, including six or more small stores, were destroyed by fire here late today and early tonight. About 1500 persons are homeless and prop erty damage is expected to exceed $500,000. A citizens relief organiza- tion, hastily formed, is caring for those in need.
 Millions of dollars worth of river front property, including docks, ship building plants and railroad shops, in the path of the flames were saved when the fire was checked at the wes- tern boundary of the Alabama Dry Dock and Shipbuilding company's property.
 The fire started in a trash pile near a fence in the yard of store and had been whipped beyond control by strong northwest wind before it's seriousness was realized.
 Twenty blocks in one of the oldest sections of Mobile occupied chiefly by persons in moderate circumstances, were wiped out before by fire prac- tically burned itself out. Little prop erty of modern construction was de- stroyed, though for time. the busi- ness section was threatened, while tre wind gradually swung around from the northwest to the west and hen almost southwest.

U. s. FABRIC TIRES
STILL GREAT FAVORITES

The advent of cord construction in
automobile tires has made possible the
manufacture Of tires which give as
founding mileages, yet there are many
automobile owners who have found so
great degree of satisfaction in some
favorite brand of fabric tire, that
they are loath to change to the new
type.
The United States Tire Company re-
ports sales of it's fabric brands that
show these tires are continually gain
ing favor among motorists who want
good tires at q moderate initial cost
President J. Newton Gum of the
United States Tire Company has re-
ceived this letter from a New Haven
merchant, telling why he remains firm
in his allegiance to the "Chain" tread:
II think 20,346 miles up to date is a
remarkable record for three out of q
set Of five of your 35x4 IL Chain
tread tires. They are still on my
seven-passenger car in serviceable
condition, and the car is used every
day. ",
"The full set of five tires was put on
my new car the first week in March,
1915. The first of the set went out
Of commission April 2, 1918, after
running 16,103 miles. The second
blew out beyond repair the month fol-
lowing, but the remaining three have
been running ever since. I have had
few punctures or blow-outs, owing to
the elasticity and durability of the
tires"
