 IF TURKS IN EUROPE
lRepub,ican A. p. Leased wire]

NEW YORK. Feb. 29-Banishment of the Turk from Europe; end of the Moslem governments control over Christians and fulfillment of the allied pledge to Armenia, were urged in resolution adopted at a non-sectarian mass meeting here today under the auspices of the authorities of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Copies of the petition will be for warded to President Wilson and the supreme council at Paris
 Messages supporting the protest against Turkish rule in Europe were received from Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts.
 Montana also sent telegrams support ing the action.
 The resolution said in part:
 This meeting. representing the Christian people of New York, With out distinction of creed, hereby pro- States, to the supreme council at Paris, and to the Christian communi- ties in all allied countries against this conformation of Turkish crimes, because we believe that our faith is more deeply pledged to the 100000 ArmenlanSs the VlctlmS or the lurh- ish sword, than to any political party or financial interest whatsoever.
 These martyred Christians plead with us more strongly than do the wishes of the Mohammedans of India themselves constituting less. than one third of the population of India We call upon our government to assert the moral rights acquired by our sacrifices and to demand that the Turkish oppressor be utterly banished from control or influence over any Christians;S that Armenia is given her. entire historical and racial territory and that our help be pledged to Ar menia for the restoration of her in. dependence and the development of her life"

 While all arrangements for formal restoration of the carriers to their owners were completed yesterday by Mir.

 Public Behind Owners
 In resuming operation of their properties, the corporations have a particular asset bequeathed them in the opinion of Director General Hines. The corporations, he believes have public sentiment as favorable to them as at any time in their history.
 As for finances MT. Hines has as- serted that the corporation would have had difficulty obtaining the necessary credit had the government not ex- tended it's care over them during the war. This difficulty has been swept aside to some extent for the roads can obtain loans from the govern ment in these days of strained credit, it was explained. The interstate com merce commission also is bound by law to consider the roads financial status in rate making so the proper ties may always stand on solid basis.

Plant Flight to Last Ditch" If Effort Made to Com promise = Ultimatum to Get Weighty Considera- ton of Colleagues at Con- ference Today
IRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

Republican A. r. Leased WireI
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 29-RepubH- can senators irreconcilably opposed to the peace treaty took vigorous meas ures again today to block any modffi- cation of the Article 10 reservation which was adopted last November, est barrier to all compromise negotia- tions.
 Feeling that the republican leaders unable to obtain enough votes to ratify the treaty with the reservation unchanged. might consent to some modification, the irreconcilables served notice through Senator Borah, repub- lican of Idaho, that unless the pro- vision were kept as it stands they would reserve liberty of action when consideration of the new treaty is re- stunned tomorrow
 The new ultimatum, similar in na- ture to one laid down by the irrecon- cilables during the bipartisan com promise negotiations. was presented directly to the party leader, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, who is ex- pected to confer with is colleagues on the subject tomorrow.
 The votes of the frreconcilables have been counted on to insure a ma
 
 program, as was the case in November and the move today is expected to receive very serious consideration.
 Keep Plans Secret
 Just what the irreconcilables might do to wreck the plans of the republi- can leaders was not revealed. It was suggested. ia some. quarters however that if they chose to do so the irreconl cilable group might easily debate the treaty at such length that action could be blocked until the assembling of the national political conventions. That result. in the opinion of many senators, would preclude any possibility of rati- fication until the isue had been fought out in the campaign.
 When the senate takes up the treaty again tomorrow it will have before it the reservation relating to settlement of domestic questions under the league Of nations. By the unanimous consent agreement reached Saturday a vote on this provision is to be at D. m., and unless the plans of the leaders mis- carry it will be adopted in the same form as at the last session of congress
 Many senators predicted tonight that if no actual filibuster developed the entire list of reservations would be disposed of and a vote taken e., the treaty itself within the next 10 days.
