reds of lives

to save hundreds of lives.
 The allies have enough troops in Turkey to control Constantinople if 1t D enecessary to resort to force, but the allied premiers are believed to be con vinced that this necessity will not arise. They are of the opinion, 1t ap- pears, that when the Turkish govern ment finally comes to the conclusion that the allies mean business the sit uation will be much clarified. This is
 the first point in the plan of the con- ference.
 What the conferees really would like, according to the reports of state
 ments at the meetings here, is for the
 United States to augment her naval
 forces in Turkish waters, but there seems to be little expectation that this can he brought about.
 Although the preniers are not at tending the sessions just now. the | peace conference as it Is now consti- l tuted has full powers to rearrange the outline of the Turkish treaty within a fortnight. but the conferees are not l planning to hurry with the document. now that the reports of the massacres | have been confirmed. Their attitude | is that the Turks must conform to the European Interpretation of civilized government before any treaty shall be | handed to them.

Plan tD Hasten
 Vote on Treaty
Nothing to be Gained in Di- rection of Compromise by Further Delay Leaders Anxious to Give Attention to Article Ten.

Washington. March T. Various methods of hastening action on the peace treaty were discussed at con- ferences among republican and demo- cratice leaders today as result of the apparently universal sentiment of the leaders that nothing in the direc- ton of compromise would be gained by. further delaying the decisive vote.
 It was said no final conclusions were reached. though it was predicted in some quarters that tomorrow's ses- sion would see a formal agreement to limit debate on the six reservations which remain to be disposed of un- der the present programme before the senate gives its attention to Arts cle Ten. It generally is conceded that by the decision on this article the treaty will stand or fall, and all of the leaders have said they were anxious to get through with details and start the fight on the main is- sue.
 The plan of the irreconciliable op- ponents of ratification to move to sweep all the other reservations aside and take up Article Ten tomorrow may be abandoned if some other method of hastening the final vote is agreed upon. The republican lead CTS have taken the position that to break up the order of business and consider Article Ten before it's time would require a two thirds vote, and | the irreseonciliables concede that even with democratic cooperation they would not muster such majority. ! Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. the
 republican leader, favors going ahead l with the other reservations first, but | is understood to be ready to make ar
 agreement to hurry the debate.
 Despite the statements made yes ! terday by White House officials ant 1 generally accepted as meaning tha
 President Wilson had not altered his
 stand on compromise, the negotiation.
 for an agreement on Article Ten con. l tinued today with influential senator:
 on both sides declaring there still wa! chance of success. There was nc
 further indication whether the re. quest for a conference between thu
 president and Senator Simmons, dem
 ocrat, North Carolina, on the sub ject would be granted, and the nego tiations went forward on the theor! that in any agreement reached CT Article Ten the senate would have | l work out its own salvation and talk its chances on having the treaty pock eted by the executive.
 It was the general feeling tonigh
 that in any eventuality the debat
 probably would be brought to an en'
 and a ratification vote taken some
 time this week.

London, March 7.-The proposed allied military control of Constanti- nople is not to be an occupation in the sense which that term usually implies, according to the peace conference plans, which, however, have not as yet been fully matured.
 GA London despatch filed later than this message but passing it in trans mission and being received last night announced despatch of a note by the allies to the Turkish government, the terms of which were understood t9 be drastic and to be followed by drastic action, should that prove necessary)
 The idea of the conference, it is in- dicated, is to impress upon the Turks that the world will not tolerate massa- cres, such as those of the Armen;ans in Cilicia last month. This has been unsuccessfully attempted through threats from the conference that un- less the massacres ceased the peace terms for Turkey would be much more severe than otherwise and now the allies plan to make some sort of a military demonstration at Constanti- nople. Just what form this shall take is understood not to have been decided but a speedy decision is expected, as Great Britain. France and Italy are agreed that quick action is necessary

SUPREME COURT WILL
 ARGUE pRORiB. QUESTION

Washington, March 7-The consti- nationality of the prohibition amend ment and portions of the enforcement act will be argued tomorrow before the supreme court.
 The question is involved in original proceedings brought by Rhode Island to have the amendment declared in valid and it's enforcement enoiined as well as in appeals from Kentucky and Massachusetts, where federal courts have sustained constitutional prohibi- ton.
 Immediately after the court con venes Attorney General McCran of New Jersey will formally ask for per- mission to bring proceedings similar to those of Rhode Island and to partici- pate in the arguments. Such pernis- sion is customarily granted.
 As the court is permitting the cases to be heard ahead of their regular or der, court officials expect an early de- cision. In view of previous decisions relative to prohibition little hope for relief is held out for the ''wets."

 Io says if Italy and Jugo Siavia prefer to abandon the so-called buf- fer state containing an overwhelming majority of Jugo Saws and desire to limit the proposed free state to the corpus separatum of Plume placing the sovereignty iu thc League of Ma tions without either Italian or JuSo Slav control, the United States IS willing to leave the determination of the common frontier to Italy and Iugo Slavia.
 The president says he cannot pos SIbly join in the preniers' suGges- ton that the memorandum settlement of December 9 be withdrawn; de- clares that Albanian questions should not be included in the pro- posed joint discussions" and reiter ates that the United States cannot approve of the execution of the terms O; the treaty or London.

 Conceding that the absence of an American representative with plenary nOwers may have been q source Of inconvenience.' the president says he can recall several instances where decisions of the supreme coun- cil were delayed while the British and French representatives sought the views of their governments
 He adds that he 'is convinced that time would have been saved and many misunderstanding avoided if, before actual decisions had been reached and communicated to the Italian and Jugo Slay delegations, tn S government had been given suffi cient indication of the fact that the British and French governments in- tended radically to depart from their memorandum of December g."

 "The president desires to express his sincere and cord al interest in the response of the French and British prime ministers received on February 27. He notes with satisfaction their uualtered desire to reach 'an equita- ble solution in conformity alike with the prime pies of the peace conference and of the legitimate though con fiicting aspir2tio of the Italian and Jugoslav peoples He further wei comes their expressed intention re- garding certain essential points to urge upon the governments interested that they should bring their desires into Inc with the American point of view
