The Presidents Turkish note, de-

terday by the Department of State.
United States participate in the
peace settlement with Turkey, yet
a desire that the White House
should dictate the terms of the
treaty.
Two important provisions of the
Presidents program were forecast
some days ago. They were that the
Sublime Porte should be banished
from Europe and that Russia should
be admitted to membership in the
proposed International council to
govern Constantinople and the
Straits. Mr.. Wilson declined to
share the Lloyd George fears Of a
Moslem uprising should the Sultan
be driven into Asia. The Presi-
dents reference to Russian partici-
patton in the internationalizatio of
constantinople were regarded as
sarcasm directed against the re-
vised decision of the allies to con-
cede to Russia when it has a gov
ernment recognized by the civilized

He had taken a firm stand agains,

Russia. His position was one OF
opposition to desire attributed
to Great Britain. France and Greece
to accomplish in Turkey what led
to the Adriatic controversy through
British, French and Italian policies

gary.
Mr.. Wilson would not give all of
Thrace to Greece. He would allot
the northern part Of the province
including the vilayets of Adrianople
and Kirk Kilisseh to Bulgaria He
would not yield the western coast
of Asia Minor to Greece as pro-
posed by Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge and other Senators favoring
the Greek claims, without having
further information to justify such
an arrangement. Under the Presi-
dents proposals with respect to
Thrace. Bulgaria would regain Ad-
rianople which she was forced to
cede to Turkey after the second
Balkan war. having won it in the
first Balkan conflict under the terms
of the treaty OF London. Although
European opinion of the Hungarian
treaty held that the late ally of
the central powers had been let
off too lightly. there was criticism
