NOTE PROTESTS
SECRET PACTS
U. S. Outlines Policy on
Mandate Territories in
New Message.

The United States has dispatched
a note to Great Britain protesting
against secret agreements between
the allies for the exploitation OF
territories of the former Turkish
Empire, it was learned Saturday
night.
This is the second of a series OF
communications that have been ex-
changed between the United States
and Great Britain since a secret
agreement between England AND
France for exploitation of the oil
resources of Mesopotamia came to
light some time ago. The present
note is understood to be addressed
to Lord Curzon.
The first note was sent to Great
Britain several months ago as an in
quiry about the agreement reached
at San Reno, Italy. between Eng
land and France on Mesopotamia oil
supplies. The State Department is
understood to have pointed out in
this note that the agreement was in
violation of the stand Of the United
States that all nations must be CIV

tries. Great Britain holds the man.
date over Mesopotamia-
The reply of Great Britain to the
frst note OF the United States is un-
derstood to have said that the
agreement did not prohibit any other
nations from the commercial ex-
ploitation of Mesopotamia or pre-
judice their rights. but that the pact
was merely intended to facilitate
greatly needed oil supplies to the
two countries
The note which is now being sem
by the State Department in answel
to the British rejoinder to the FRS
American note is believed to con
tain a broad declarntion of polio,
on the question of mandate terri

farmer in the country may increase
his income by $50 to 500 a year.
The survey wants farmers to raise
fur bearing animals. officials are
anxious to furnish farmers with
directions as to how to proceed, pro-
vided the farmers will raise the
right kind of animals. The direc-
tions are simple, officials emphasize.
All the farmer needs to do is to kill
an old, wornout horse every fall for
the fur-bearing animals to feed on
The fur-bearing animal which the
survey favors is the black skunk.
Almost every farmer should have

People Go Wild When News

ATHENS, Nov. zI-All Greece last

old pomp and glory OF the court Of
King Constantine.
The possibility arose when the
cabinet announced today that the
people shall be permitted TO vote
November IS on whether King Con-

throne.
The news spread even faster than
IL could be carried by wire. IL
spread among the peasantry in
their vineyards and gardens, among
the skirted Thracians and among
the soldiers. The Constantine hymn.
suppressed for three years, re-
sounded everywhere as royalists
had a vision of the king restored
to his people.
The royal palace will be placed
in order at once. II was maintained
while Alexander was king. but II
was not the same as when Constan-
tine and his family ruled. Servants
hustled today with a realization
that a spick and spanness to an
irreproschsble degree must be main
tained hereafter.
The grounds were shaven TO an
unbelievable trimness, hedges and
yew trees were shaped and the way
prepard for the kings triumphal re-
turn from exile.
The Greek populace could see
nothing more than a resumption OF
the old times. The terrors and
griefs OF war time were swept away
and a new golden age was seen.

SAYSSPIRITISM
CAN ENDCRIME
Paris Expert Thinks Medi-
ums Should Have Place
As Detectives.

PARIS. Nov. 21.-That crime can
be abolished by making 1t impossi-
BILE for the criminal to go unde-
tected through the medium of COM
munion with the dead is the re-
markable claim put forth in Paris
by Gustave Geley. director of the
International Metaphysical Insti-
tute. and one of the worlds best
known authorities on spiritualism.
Nine. Robert, a wealthy Parish
enne, called on DR.. Geley one day
last week and said. that she had
been robbed of a diamond brooch
worth $4,000. DR.. Geley suggested
that they consult a medium.
The medium was told of the cir
cumstance, and forthwith went into
a trance, wherein she not only gave
the name of the thief-a chamber
maid-but described the exact loca-
ton of the loot.
The Information was given to the
ponce, the chambermald confessed,
and every detail of the mediums
statement was proved correct.
AS a result of the occurrence, DR..
Geley believes that any crime can
be similarly solved provided a mo-
dium of proper powers is obtainable,
and has suggested that the French
police establish a special metaphys-
les department stated with mediums
of every nationality and degree of
power.
This done, he says, the detection
of crime will become so simple that
criminals will become a class eX-
tinot.
The discovery has caused enor-
nous interest IN police and meta
physical circles throughout the
world.

The secret Of manufacturing ac-

the process permits of making dia-
