ALLIES PLANNING
STEPS IN TURKEY
MILITARY CONTROL OF CERTAIN
TURKISH GOVERNMENTAL
ACTIVITIES PROPOSED
FEAR OF MASSACRES ALLAYED
Steps Planned BY Allies Does Net
Mean Taking over The Ottoman
Government

London.-The peace conference
spent a day recently in trying to work
out details of military and naval plans
in connection with Turkey. giving par
ticular attention to Armenia. Admi-
raj Beatty, Winston Spencer Churchill,
secretary for war, and others, were
called in to give their opinions. Pre-
mier Venizelos Of Greece was also
present and again insisted that the
allies should take the sternest meas
ures against the sultan.
The general plan of action was not
changed, however, as a result of the
conference. It became known that the
military demonstration at Constant
nople is likely to take the form Of
allied military control of certain Turk
ish governmental activities, among
them probably the war department.
The conferees were careful to make
clear that this does not mean the TAX
ing over of the Turkish government at
the outset and would not in the fu-
ture if Turkey shows an inclination
to abide by the terms Of the armistice
and cease massacres.
The third meeting Of the council
of the league of nations will begin at
Paris shortly, it is announced. At this
meeting the commission to carry out
Investigations into Russian affairs
will be named.
The fears of some that the confer
ence's military demonstration at Con
would leave to further mas
sacres among the unprotected in Ar
menia and Cilicia have been consid-
erably allayed by the attitude of Nj.
Venizelos. He is represented as be-
in confident that stern show at Con-
stantinople would bring the Turk into
line. Those joining in this attitude
are certain that the Turkish govern
ment has enough control of Mustapha
Renal to prevent his troops from
committing excuses in Asia Minor.
Should this policy be adopted, the
Greeks stand to lose more heavily
than any other nations, as there are
a million and a half Greeks in Asia
Minor.
French force is bound for Gill
,ian tel ritory to the number of seveD
thousand.

A wELLKNoWN INSTITUTION.

Probably no Institution i'm America
is more widely known than Doctor
Pierce's mvalids' Hotel in Buffalo,
n. Y. Although established many years
ago 1t is today a modern sanitarium,
having all the latest facilities for the
correct diagnosis of diseases and their
successful treatment through medicine
or surgery.
1t was Or. Pierce. its founder,
who over 30 years ago gave TO the
world that wonderful stomach tonic
and blood purifier, Golden Medical
Discovery" and that famous non
alcoholic medicine for women, ia
vorite Prescription"
In his early professional career, DR..
Pierce realized that every family, but
especially those who live remote from
a physician, should have at hand an
instructive book that would teach them
something about First Aid, Physi-
Ology, Anatomy, Hygiene; how to rec
ognize different diseases, how to care
for the sick, what to do in case of ac-
cident or sudden sickness, etc, so he
published that great book, the Medical
Adviser" an up-to-date edition of
which can be procured by sending 90
cents to Doctor Pierce's lnvalids'
Hotel in Buffalo, n. Y.
Later, DR.. Pierce added another link
to his chain of good works by estab-
fishing bureau of correspondence to
which any one can write for medical
advice, without any expense whatever
and if necessary, medicines especially
prepared in Doctor Pierce's Laboratory
will be sent by parcel post or express
for use at home, at a reasonable cost.
Thus those who have symptoms of dis
ease need not suffer mental agony fear
ing that they have some serious all
ment, but can have a diagnosis made
free by a physician of high profess
sional standing. Write to DR.. Pierce
relating your symptoms if you need
medical advice for any chronic disease.
All letters regarded as confidential.
