LONDON, March 2.-The SapssusS
Council Of the Allies to-day decided
that Turkey shall have no navy. Only
few revenue cutters will be left to
her. The council will deal with the
Turkish army tomorrow.

just what areas will be allotted to
Turkey, it is understood that the sub
fractions to be made from her terri
tory will decrease her population from
3O,000,o00 to 100000. This will neces-
state an entire readjustment Of Tur-
keys debt.
Premier Millerand of France has
been forced to postpone his return to
the conference until Thursday, when
the economic decisions of the council
will be reviewed. The council men,
bers, however, know that M. Millerand
is in accord with their decisions, it was
said to-day. 1t is planned to publish a
long statement on the economic con-
clusions, probably Friday morning.

pected to leave for Rome Thursday,
has been persuaded to remain an addi-
tional day or two.

ing the meeting as to where the needed
materials might be found" the news
paper says, "the exchange situation be-
tween Europe and the United States
was considered as hindering purchases,
and Premier Lloyd George of Great
Britain urged exchanges with Russia,
particularly for wheat. There was,
therefore, only a step to be taken
toward making direct agreement with
the Soviet government for exchanges
which were previously arranged for
with the Russian Cooperative Soci-
administrative organ. This step has
been taken"
