tion. They discussed various plans

Monday.
The supreme council is industriously
studving plans to divide Thrace in n
manner acceptable to Greece and Bull
garia, as we'll as England and France:
Uncertainty as to what country VIII
receive the mandate of Constantinople
and surrounding territory compIlcates
the situation, as interested powers are
striving to protect their own inter
ests. regardless of who gets Constan
tinople.
Italy and Greece apparently have
reached an understanding, so that the
United States stands virtually alone in
supporting Bulgaria's claim for an
outlet to the Aegean sea. The Bull
garians say that another Balkan war
can be avoided only by giving them
such an outlet.
A dozen different plans for the di-
viding and disposing of Thrace have
been considered during the last week f,
but the one most favored, although op
posed by Greece, contemplates an inter
nationalized zone to the Aegean sea
Western Thrace would go to Greece and
she would also be given a strip eastward

This internationalized zone would be

This plan violates the rights of ma
ioritics and separates districts to be
given to Greece, but it is apparently
impossible to reach an agreement on
any plan which would make this region
less of a crazy quilt. The plan gives
Adrianople to Greece, which is re-
garded as unsatisfactory, as that city
is considered sacred by the Mohamme
dams.

The tremendous legal costs of the

ratio to the monetary damages obtained.
The costs to the Chicago Tribune are
