ID IMPRESS UPON
 TURKS MASSACRES
 MUST BE STOPPED
Military Demonstration At COnstantinOple Planned and Quick Action
 Is Expected
sy Assoolated pres,

London March 6-rhe proposed allied military control of Constantinople is not to be an occupation in the sense which that term usually implies. according to the peace conference plans, which, how ever. have not as yet been fully matured GA London dispatch filed later than this message but passing it in transmission and being received last night, announced the despatch of note by the allies to the Turkish government, the terms of which were understood to be drastic and to be followed by drastic action should that prove necessary.)
 The idea of the conference, it is indi-
 ated, is to impress upon the Turks that the world will not tolerate massacres
 uch as those of the Arrnenians in Cificia last month This has been unsuccess- fully attempted through threats from the conference that unless the massacrea ceased the peace terms of Turkey would be much more severe than otherwise, md now it is the plan to make some sort Of a military demonstration at Con stantinople. Just what form this shall take is understood not to have been de- cided, but a speedy decision is expected, as Great Britain, France and Italy are agreed that quick action is necessary to
 hundreds of lives
 The allies have enough troops in Tur- key to control Constantinople if 1t be nec- essary to resort to force but the allied premers are believed to be convinced that this necessity will not arise. They are of the opinion, it appears, that when the Turkish government finally comes to the conclusion that the allies mean business the situation will be considerably clari- fled. This is the first point in the plan of the conference. Some endorsements for the allied troops in Turkey arrived on the scene this week, and more will follow. The weather conditions in Cilicfa are unfavorable at present for the start
 ing of a new military operation, but the allies are agreed that it is absolutely nec- essary for the French to retrieve quickly and at any cost. their recent losses in Cilicia, as the view in conference cir- cles is that the Turks undoubtedly think the allies are tired of fighting. and that their notes and warnings have little back ling.
 As outlined, the plan is to show the Sultan that this is not the case, no mat ter how dstasteful further military activ- ities may be now to any of the allies
 What the conferees really would like, according to the reports ot statements at the meetings here, is for the United States to augment her naval forces in Turkish waters, but there seems to be little ex- pectation that this can be brought about. Although the premers are not attend- ing the sessions just now. the peace con- ference as it is now constituted has full power to rearrange the outline of tte Turkish treaty within a fortnieht. but the conferees are not planning to hurry with the document, now that the reports l of the massacres have teen confirrae@
 Their attitude is that the Turks must 1 conform to the European interpretation of civilized government before any treaty | shall be handed to them.

COUNTIES AID in
STATE HIGHWAY
FEDERAL MONEY, cLINcHED BY
SUBSCRIPTION, TO BE ADDED
TO ROAD FUND.

Frankfort, Ky.-Plans to construct
projects sixteen and twenty-five of the
new State highway system of perma-
nent surfacing material were discussed
with Governor -dorrow and Joe S.
Boggs, Commissioner of Public Roads,
by delegation frSm all the counties
along the route
The persons Interested in the pro-
jects, instead of trying to withdraw
the $500, 900 raised for the work, are
viewed it, by proposing to let their
contributions go into construction and
simply asking that the State appro-
pirate the sum it would otherwise be
required to and devote this to a more
lasting type of road.
BY coincidence the Federal aid pro-
ject. extending from HardyvilIe. Hart
county, on the Jackson highway,
through Green, Taylor, Marion, Boyle
and Garrard counties, conforms to
two OF the new State highway pro-
jects. The residents had raised the
money necessary and were preparing
to obtain Federal aid, when the new
law was passed.
1t then occurred to them that they
were spending their money for a
highway which the State eventually
would build, and they learned from
Commissioner Boggs that until the
new law becomes operative no ar
rangements may be made for reim-
bursting counties for funds advanced
for State highway projects.
Commissioner Boggs told them
however, that where local aid is forth
coming, in his opinion. the commits
sion will be. inclined to initiate the
work, and he suggested the plan
which met with Governor Morrow's
approval.
They viii certify the amount they
have raised and tie up Federal aid fol

mission eomest in tiley viii propose
that the State add to the fund suf-
ticient 10 pave instead of macadamize

this means those counties will get fol
their money a first-class permanent
road. and the State will get for .ths
amount 1t would have to spend on the
projects. had local funds not beer
