CONFERENCE WILL
Continued from page I

Allied nations would be called upon to
maintain force of 300 600 men in Turkey
10 insure execution OF the terms OF the
treaty with that country which was framed
at London recently, it is understood This
treaty. will be considered by the Supreme
Allied Council when it opens its session
here next Monday. and announcements
that Marshal Foch of France and Field
Marshal Wilson of Great Britain weuld be
present at the meeting are regarded as
indicating that military experts Will be
called upon by the council before 1t de-
cides finally on the terms to be submitted
to the Sultan. The draft of the treaty
which has been prepared is looked upon
as important notifications with view
TO removing obstacles to execution.
None of the Entente powers isdlsposed
to furnish large numbers oil soldiers TO
impose the treaty terms on the turks;
Greece, IL is understood, is ready to seno
an army TO Asia minor, but there are
serious objections to the presence OF Greeks
there, as il would probably intensity
Turkish resistance Hence there is strong
undercurrent of opinion in favor softening
the terms and sparing Turkish pride as
ar as possible in order that the treaty
NAV be accepted by Turkish govern
ment strong enough to overcome nation
alist opposition.
Armenia. under the treaty as 1T stands
Mt present. would be gwen. the territory
comprised within the boundary roughly
outlined by the towns OF Erzerum, Bitlis,
Van and Mush, and the corridor leading
to the Black sea. -,
Other features of the treaty which will
be given consideration will be the organi-
cation of allied supervision at Constan-
tinbpIc, and the formation OF a commits
sion to control the Dardaneiles. IL Is
expected proposals will be made to admit
Balkan states, including Bulgaria to
membership in this commission.
WAYS and means of insuring the execu-
tion of the treaty of Versailles will be dis
cussed. and clauses calling for German dis
| armament being certain TO receive caro-
| full attention.
Considerable doubt exists whether the
