TO INTERNATIONALLY
DARDANELLES STRAITS

London, Feb. 1.-THE International
zation OF the Dardanelles, which had
been forecast, was decided upon def
nitely by the allied supreme council
One of the big questions to be de-
cided is the policing Of the straits and
knotty problem is as to who will
furnish the necessary troops. Further
than deciding that COnstantinOple is
to remain under Turkish control the
council has not drawn definite
boundary line. Details such as the
actual frontiers remain to be decided,
three commissions were set up by
the council today in connection with
the Turkish peace, One is to decide
upon the boundaries Of the Armenian
republic another is to report on the
Turkish finances and the third is to
examine into the Greek claims in the
Smyrna territory which were dwelt
upon by Premier Nenizelos in his state
ment OF yesterday. The commissions
are expected to report to the council
the latter part Of the week.
today that in reanirming his position
the president had held that this nation
could not participate further in the
conferences or be a party to any sub
sequent action which was in contra
vention TO the original principles laid
down 10y the president.
State Department View.
President Wilson's communication to
the allied powers on the Adriatic ques-
tior was not a threat. but WAS an in
Quiry. the state department announced
today.
The president addressed a telegram
to the council of premiers TO inquire
whether they intended taking action
without consulting the United States.
with the expectancy that the United
States would abide by such action, II
was stated.
Sufficient Concessions.
Tho state department explained that
President Wilson had agreed TO consta-
siOus iu the Adrintic problem last year
which had apparently been sufficient
but that after D'Anuunzio went into
the Adriatic territory the italian gov
eruneut had asked for further extern
siON OF the line of its territory and that
this request had been tcutstivcly agreed
upon without the consultation of the
lu,ted states.
The orteution OF the United states IE
that there must be an outlet for th'
JuEo- -luvs and the Austrlans 90 ih'
sea. it was stated. President Wilson
mas taken the position that with fIum'
under Itrnau control there would Doc uo
outlet to tho IuEo-SIaNs. despite the
TACT thnt their railroads would reach
the coast.

All for Bio Business.

Lawyers who get into the senate are
Invariably corporation attorneys who
are direct representatives of big bust
ness. Big business in fact does its
dirty work almost entirely through
lawyers. So the lawyer delegation of
30 is solidly n big business delegation.
IN addition big business is represented
directly by five business men, three
bankers and two manufacturers, or
ten senator's. This gives big business;
representation of 20 out of 9G. But
1t is more than likely that the seven
farmers are all pluto farmers wholly
on the side of big business, or they
wouldn't he there as Republicans or
Democrats. The same, no doubt, can
De said of the doctors, Journalists and
educators, so that in the last analysis,
