TURKEY MAY LOSE TERRITORY
 BY MASSACRE
Proposed Western Bound.
 ary May Be Aban-
 doned.

London, March 6-The CiIician massacre may cost Turkey much of what the treaty of peace would oth- erw:se have left her, according to ev- pressions heard in inner circles al Whitehall, where allied foreign min tsters continue framing the Turkish settlement. It is believed, among other things, the proposed western boundary from Enos, on the Aegean Sea to Midia, on the Black Sea, may be abandoned and the line may be drawn much farther east. This would limit Turkish possessions in Europe to the narrow peninsula north of the Sea of Marmora.
 France and Great Britain are cred tied with being in agreement in this respect, but less certainty is expressed as to Italy's attitude and the matter is yet to be settled definitely. Another effect of the Cilician outrage is said to be unanimous sentiment among mem- bers of the foreign ministers council toward totally depriving Turkey of an army, and permitting her to maintain only a force of gendarnes. This scheme, which has been discussed for some time, seemed recently to be doomed to abandonment but it is now said to be the most probable solution of the question.

 blanket of snow today. The wind howled at 40 miles an hour and the temperatures at mid-forenoon were dropping to the zero mark Not
 train had been moved over any of the lines of the Central New England rail road and the prospects were not good for any rail communication today. The New Haven road sent a train with two locomotives from here southbound over the Brid idgeport-W sted division and it took two hours to cover the ten miles to Torrington. The Southern New England Tele- phone company had it's service greatly curtaiIed as the sleet storm which | followed last nights rain and was just ahead of the snow carried down poles
 and prostrated cross country lines in all directions. There was at one time | only two circuits working out of this place.

 Colebrook and other Iitchfield county towns agreed that the storm, the snow fall and the wind together made this

THIEVES LOOT
 FAIRFIELD AVE,
 STORE WINDOW

Unable to cut through the thick plate glass with a glass cutter thieves last night hurled a brick through the window of the Metropolitan Jewelry Company, 21 Fairfield avenue, and es- capped unseen with watches and bracelets worth in the neighborhood of $200. Two men passing the win dow notified the patrolman on duty at Fairfield avenue and Water street and although search was imm ediately made no trace of the thieves was un- earthed.
 Marks on the window indicated that the thieves first attempted to use a glass cutter but failing in this had recourse to the brick. Many valuable articles in the window were left un- touched because the fragments of the window falling inward so impeded the thieves that in their hurry they could not separate the glass from the jewelry.

Everybody but the plutocrats who owned autom obiles walked to work this morning. At 6 or 2 a. ID. the streets in the outlying districts were not the most inviting place for a stroll. The wind piled the snow in drifts and those who were walking against the gale found that it beat sharply against their faces. The fall of snow was not so heavy as in the February storm but the wind made walking more difficult.
 Although the stores in the shopping district had greatly depleted sales forces this morning most of them were open on time and there were enough clerks to serve those who had braved the storm.
 When the weather started to clear about noon and the sun came out, more of the women employees ventur- ed out and the stores were doing business as usual this afternoon.
 When Bridgeporters went to bed last night the rain was coming down in the style the old timers call pour ing pitchforks-'' But after the gut ters had been flooded and household CTS had visions of their sidewalks becoming clear again, the rain chang ed to sleet and then to snow.

WILSON'S REPLY TO ALLIES NOT
 PLAIN ENOUGH
Errors in Transmission Cause Doubt-No With
 draWal Of U. $.

London, March 6-Important pass ages in President Wilson's reply tc the note of the allied premiers re1a- tive to the Adriatic are obscure, ow- ing to errors of transmission which have necessitated cabled repetition and it is understood that for this reason the American presidents com munication has not been made public here.
 Some newspapers which have learn ed unofficia1ly as to the nature of the contents of the reply remark with evident satisfaction that it does not imply withdrawal of. the United States from the peace conference, and indi- cates compliance with two or three of the Ang1o-French suggestions.
 Paris, March 6---PreSident Wilson S reply to the note sent him by the a1- lied preniers relative to the Adriatic was not discussed by members of the supreme allied council at London yes terday because of obscurities in the text, the cable company beisg asked for a repetition, says "Pertinax," ln the Echo de Paris. As far as can be ascertained, however, he says, MT Wilson does not show any desire to withdraw from European concerns and accepts French and English sugges- tions that efforts be made to reach a direct und nderstanding between Italy and Jugo Slavia relative to the Adri- atic problem.
 It is said that, should this step fail MT. Wilson would be ready to sane ton any agreement satisfactory to the Italians and Jugo Slavs, but that he lets it be understood he regards the tenative agreement of December the most equitable solution of the prob lem and most consistent with the pre- vious allied policy. The American president is understood to reject. the treaty of London as a means of set ting the controversy, while carefully refraining from offering any other method for consideration.

The storm which ragged from o'clock last night until shortly before daylight, was one of the most severe of the winter.
