teo 10 the council at tO-morroW's ses-
sion.
Tae Turkish treaty was approved by
the Council to-day in the general form
in which it was drawn by the Council
OF Foreign Ministers in London.
Changes were made in two points. but
these were not disclosed. Ghabib
keMali, twenty-three years old, former
Turkish Minister to Athens and men,
Der Of the Turkish Armistice Commits
sscn; IS here, but for what purpose is
not known.
Amcng the sections Of the Turkish
treaty which were discussed were the
financial clauses and those affecting
the Bsgdad Railroad.
Sir John Cadman, Great Britain's oil
expert, has been sent for in connection
with Turkish oil for shipping and other
fuel purposes. Italy and France are
short of oil.
German Policy Still Unsettled
1t developed to-day that before the.
conference opened there had been dis
cussion over the question of enforcing
the execution of the treaty of peace
with Germany. There seems no doubt
that the Premiers are agreed a joint
declaration must be sent to Germany
requiring her to fulfill the conditions
of the Versailles Treaty, ,and that if
she does not do so the Allies will take
measures to compel her. The Premiers,
however. have not yet agreed upon the
form of pressure to be used should
Germany continue negligent
Premiers Millerand, Nitti and Lloyd
George. after their meeting with For
Berthelot. political director of the
French Foreign Office; Earl Curzon,
British Foreign Minister, and numer
Gus secretaries yesterday at the Villa
Devachan, met again late in the after
noon at Premier Nitti's hotel. No out
siders were present, with the exception
of three interpreters-Coloney Hankey
for Mr. Lloyd George; NJ: Kammerling.
of the French Foreign Office, for M.
Millerand. and Signor Tromponetti, of
the Italian Foreign Office, for Premier
Nitti.
Agree Germany Must Obey
They were agreed without a mo-
men,s discussion that Germany should
be told in the most positive manner
that she must observe the treaty; that
the Allies were firmly united upon
this and that she should be warned
of the unitive consequences should
she refuse or fail to observe the
treaty.
Premier Lloyd George suggested eco
nomic pressure. depriving Germany of
food, raw materials and intercourse
with the Allied countries. Premier
Millerand is described as having said
that such pressure, without the use of
naval or military aid, would in effect |
BE- no pressure at all. He declared it /
wo,sd be another "makebelieve" and |
that Germany could conduct her eco
nomic business through the neutral |
countries just the same. The only |
warning that would be respected, the |!
only pressure that would be effective, |
he asserted, would be force-the appli- |
cation of such force as the military |
and naval advisers might deem suf |
ficient.
Nitti Sides With Britain
Premier Lloyd George, it is said, re-
sisted this conclusion. Premier Nitti |
inclined toward the British Prime |
Minister'S view and the matter rests |
there for the present. A compromise
may take the form of an ultimatum to
Germany with the threat of applying
effective compulsion without indicat
ing what form the compulsion might !

The City Council of San Reno has
changed the name of the beautiful

PARIS. April 19.-The Supreme
Council has definitely decided to in
tcrnationalize the Dardanelles, accord
ing to a Havas dispatch from San
Reno. Allied contingents will be sta
toned in Constsntinople.
Allied occupation OF. the Ruhr basin,
in Western Germany, is being consid-
cred by the Allied premiers at San
".
miers Lloyd George, MilIerand and Nitti
held brief meeting Sunday night and
agreed, in principle on the necessity of
forcing Germany to disarm, the news
paper declares, but were not agreed as
TO the best means of procedure.
There was a certain coolness be-
tween NJ. Millerand aad Mr.. Lloyd
George at the opening of the meeting
but it vanished in a short time, and
utmost cordialty prevailed at the close,
according to the "Matin."
Poincare Opposes Revision
Demands that the Allies during the
San Reno meeting this. week resist all
attempts to revise the terms of the Yer
sailles Treaty with Germany are made |
by Raymond Poincare, former Presi-
dent of the French Republic, in an ar
tiele published by the "Matin" France
and Belgium have been "deprived of
guarantees" by the failure of Great
Britain and the United States to put
the tripartite convention into opera !
ton, he says. and the league of nations
IS as yet without means of action.
Premier Millerand is congratulated
by NJ. Poincare for the wisdom he
showed in pursuing a wise policy in
lew of the necessity of stopping the
fatal movement leading the Allies to
the precipice," and it is declared the
Allied governments should support
France against Germany. The former
President asserts Germany is violating
the Versailles Treaty and avoiding all
engagements" and that France and
Belgium could not have done otherwise
than advance east of the Rhine when
German regulars invaded the neutral
zone in the Rnhr Valley.
