 AGAINST CIvING
 TURKS CONTROL
Lloyd George Bombarded With Protests From All
 Sides.

London Feb. 23-Protests against the Turks retaining their hold upon Constantinop1e were made in several churches here yesterday, and the sub jest continues to be conspicuously featured in newspapers of London and other English cities. A number of the most prominent people in the country including the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, other leading clergymen, university professors, lit erary and scientific men and politi- clans have memorialized Premier Lloyd George, earnestly opposing a policy which would leave Constanti- nople in Turkish hands.
 The Premier, however, is not likely to alter his opinion that the Turks should retain in Constantinop1e, &C., cording to the Daily Mail, which says he considers himself bound to Q pledge to that effect, given in 1918 in the course of a statement as to war aims before members of the labor party. More over, the newspaper says he considers dispossession of the Turks would have Q serious effect up on Moslems in India, Mesopotamia and the Near East.
 MT. Lloyd George is said, however, to have prepared a compromise by which Turkish influence would be re- stricted to the city of Constantinople

ANIMAL SERUM SAVES LIFE OF
 NEW YORK GIRL
Six Members of Family Sue cun1b to Olive
 Poisoning.

Washington, Feb. 23-It was serum prepared by veterinary scientists Of the Bureau of Animal Industry for experimental purposes in treating forage poisoning of horses that saved the life of Lena Delbane, after the other six members of her family had died from eating poisonous olives in New York recently, according to the Department of Agriculture. The serum was made from the blood of a sheep that had been immunized against bacillus botulinus poisoning.
 In Investigating forage poisoning of horses the bureau of Animal In dustry made extensive experiments with serums and discovered there were two strains of bacillus botulin- ous. They look alike and the poisons they create produce the same, effect, but inmunization against one does not afford immunization against the other. The two strains are common ly known by the government if.resti- gators as t'the olive strain and "the cheese strain'' Three Instances of olive poisoning, one in Michigan, one in Ohio and the third in Montana, were all caused by ''the olive strain. .' The veterinarians, therefore, were reasonably certain that the serum af- fording protection against the poison generated by 'tthe olive strain" would be effective in the New York cases, and it proved to be in the one case where it could be given a, fair trial.

REPORT STATE
 PEACH CROP IS
 90 p, c. RUINED

Cold weather has ruined 90 per cent of Connecticut's peach crop for the coming season, according to a statement yesterday of Leonard H. Hea1ey, secretary of the state board of agriculture. Large growers have reported that frost has killed virtually entire crops Mir. Healey said he thought small percentage of the usual crop might be harvested.
 Former Senator Elijah Rogers, who has a large fruit farm near Southing- ton, reported heavy damages, and doubted if his harvest would total an appreciabIe quantity. Stancliffe Hale of Glastonbury, one~of the states largest peach growers, said he would be more thoroughly informed as to the condition of his own prospective crop within a week. According to Secretary Healey, L. c. Root of Far mington, another large grower, re- ports heavy damage to trees by recent cold weather.
 MT. Hale said he had been told that the heaviest damage occurred along the shore, where entire crops in the formative stages have been ruined. The state board of agriculture, how

 My crop was practically gone in December" said MT. Root. The thermometer registered 8 degrees be- low zero in the orcIlard.''
 A bulletin issued by the Connecti- cut Agricultural College at Storrs contains the following announcement: There will be no peaches grown in Connecticut this next season. Ap- pies and pears will be in demand. D Both growers and officials of the de- partment of agriculture question the literal accuracy of this statement, ex- blaming that a small percentage of , the crop will be harvested. During the past season, however, a noticeable shortage of local peaches 1 was felt by commission merchants and other dealers in the city. The 1 crop was unusually light, and at the end of a few weeks local markets were filled with peaches from Dela- ware, New Jersey, the South and Cal 1 ifornia.

RESERVE HAS ANNOUNCED ITS PEACE
 TIME CREDIT POLICY
WILL EXERT FULL POWER OF RESERVE BANKING SYSTEM IN REGULATING AND CONTROLLING CREDIT SYSTEM-TO
 AID COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY.

Washington, Feb. 23-Deter- imitation of the federal reserve board to exert the full power of the reserve banking system in regulating and controlling the credit situation-a course designed to aid commerce and industry in restoring 6 pre- war equilibrium-was disclos- ed in the boards annual re- port, made public today.
 With this as it's announced peace time policy, the board was prepared to '-test the ability of the system to check expansion and to induce hea1hy liquidation" The board explained it was aware of the implied power to recttfy the condition which confrOnts the country. This power necessarily followed the authority for and em- ployment of an elastic system of re- serve credit and note issue, it was added.
 Recomme also were made to congress for amendment of the re- serve act which would permit reserve banks, with approval of the federal reserve board, to establish normal maximum lines of credit accommoda- ton for member banks. An ascending scale of rates would be provided if money was borrowed above the max imum line. This, the board believed, would induce banks to hold their own large borrowers in check and thus work to the end that credit expansion On a large scale would be stopped.
 Warning was given that the country must guard against too rapid def1a- ton. While the board was in entire sympathy with measures to overcome this evil, it pointed out that reme- dies employed to correct imitation might create conditions worse than dehation itself.
 "Defiation merely for the sake of defiation and a speedy return to nor maT---deflation. merely for the sake of restoring security values and com modity prices to their pre-war levels without regard for other consequences would be an insensate proceeding ln the existing posture of world affairs the report said.

ND PREPARATION TO DISPOSE OF

He Has Arranged to Repay Money Taken To
 Authorities.

The case of Louis Lanz, the Green wich town bookkeeper who is charged with taking $192.O0O of the towns funds and increasing his capital to $35O,G00 by stock investments, will probably not be disposed of at the present term of the Criminal Super. for court. As Judge Curtis must preside over a special session of the Civil Superior court on Wednesday the criminal side must adjourn to- morrow afternoon.
 So far as is known no preparations have been made to dispose of the case tomorrow. The illness of Judge. N. c. Downs of Stamford, counsel for Lang, prevented any action in the matter last week. Meanwhile Lang has made arrangements to repay the money to the Greenwich authorities
 The arrest Of Lang a short time ago was a shock to his neighbOrs because he was always known as model fam fly man Instead of squander:ng the money as is generally done under such circumstances, Lang bought stock in the Ocean Leather Co. This increased in value after his purchase that Ianzs profit on the deal will be about $t5O, ,000, it is said.

 FROM DUTCHMAN

Amsterdam, Feb. 23.-kn unfIatter- ing view of America is given in an interview in the Amsterdam Telegram by William Oudegeest. who recently returned from attending the inter- national labor congress at Washing ton.
 Among other things, according to The Telegraaf, MT. Oudegeest found that in the United States.
 Politics are at this moment on a level with those of 1S4O iu Holland.
 Economically, America has got to the stage of 1880.
 In the light of culture the Ameri- can still lives in the 18th century.
 "One gets the impression the Telegraaf quotes MT. Oudegeest- as saying, '@when he is in America. that he is in the closing days of n0- biiity, when the peasants thought their noble lords the only things oG importance in this world, but with the difference that the bankers and great business men take the place of the junkers and barons.

PAPERS SAY THERE IS NO LONG EN AN ANTI-BOLSHEVIK ORGANIZA- TION-PROBLEMT TO BE CONSIDER
 ED BY SUPREME COUNCIL

London, Feb. 23-Premier Lloyd George and Premier Nit Ii are believed to favor resump- ton of relations with Soviet Russia, although Premier Mil lerand of France is not inclin- ed to agree to any immediate action, according to the Daily Mail. The newspaper says this problem must be considered by ,he Supreme Allied Council al its sessions which begin today
 The Chronicle maintains that "aH candid minds must recognize that, as no anti-Bolshevik organization exists any longer, soviet Russia is now Rus sia.''
 Do we want peace.' it asks, Cor do we want to continue The blockade, with the risk of mourning the hostiI- ity of the Russian government and military reprisals against the Let's Poles, Runlanians, India and Mesopo- tamia, at the same time depriv.ng the rest of the world of the Russian grain supply? Surely, there is only one answer, peace, which would be altogether better if it could be ob- tained on the proper terms.''
 Similar views are taken by the Daily News, which says:
 Since there IS not to be war with Russia, there must be peace. By what right does a handful of politi- clans condemn their democracies to needless hardships and the demoe- racy of Russia to hardships four fold more acute, by prohibiting a natural and beneficial exchange of needed commodities
 We have to make up our minds frankly to a resumption of relations,' says the Express. There is only one government with any authority =u Russia. The choice has become one between ramming ones head against stone wall and. overcoming preju- dice"
