WASHINGTON, May 8.-Provisions safeguarding the rights of minority populations make up a large potion of the Turkish treaty of peace. A sum- mary of the treaty, which will be handed to the Turkish delegation in Paris Tuesday, was received here today.
 Fourteen articles of the treaty are devoted to protection of the "Arme- nians, Greeks and other minority pop ulations which under the pact will re- main within the new boundaries of Turkey In general, these articles fol-. low the lines of the treaty of June 2S, 1919, between the allied powers and Po- land for protection of the Polish minor ity peoples.
 One of the things Turkey agrees to do under the treaty is to annul all con versions to Islam, which have occurred between November l, 1914, and the coming into effect of the treaty. The nation of the sultan also undertakes to assist in the recovery of men. women and children, of wholly or partly non Moslem parentage, who have adopted the Islamic faith since November, 1914, and who are claimed by thelr 1afnlies or communities.
 Raht of Search Granted
 The fullest right of search for lost persons in private houses ana ihsulu tions is conceded; the search 10 De carried out by a representative or the community affected, an official or the Turkish government and represehla- tive of the league of nations
 Such reciprocal and voluntary eml- grafton of persons belonging to raclal rninorities as the allied powers may consider opportune is recognized py the Turkish government, which agrees to adhere to the treaty between Greece and Bulgaria of last November. relat- ing to reciprocal emigration.
 Turkish subjects of non-Turklsh races such as Armenians and Greeks who have been driven from their homes by fear of massacre or any other form of pressure during the war are to De permitted to return to their homes ana assist in the recovery of their property and reestablishment of business.
 Racial minorities are gwen freedom to establish manage and control char itable, religious and social institutions, schools and other educational estao- lishments, a right previously eXerclsed exclusively by the Turkish government.
 Guarantees concerning the minority populations are lodged in the league Of nations.
 Other provisions of the treaty follow closely the original draft as drawn up by the supreme council in London in February.
 The most substantial change made by the allied premiers at their San Reno meeting in the draft formulated at London in February provides further limitations on the power of the sultaT in Constantinople.
 The exact nature of this change is not noted in the summary received here. Since President Wilson's reply to the allied request for the fiXation or the boundaries of Armenia is not eX- pected to be received in time for the inclusion of the settlement of the Ar menian question in the treaty to be given the Turkish delegation Tuesday, diplomatic officials here believe pro- vision will be made by the supreme council for leaving open the Armenian question for somewhat later settlement.
