Proposed Military Con-
troll to Be Guarantee
Against Massacres.
Peace Conference Plans
Not Fully Matured AS
Yet, However.

London, March 1.-THE proposed al
lied military control Of Constantinople is
not to be an occupation in the sense
that term usually implies, according to
the peace conference plans. which, how
ever, have not vet been fully matured
"a London dispatch filed later than
this message, but passing it in trans
mission and received Saturday night an
nounced the dispatch of note by the
allies tc the Turkish government. the
terms of which were understood to be
action, should that prove necessary.
The idea Of the conference. it is in
dcated. is to impress On the Turks that
the world will not tolerate nassacre,
such as those of the Armenians in
CECILIA last month. This has been IN
successfully attempted through threats
from the conference that unless the
massacres ceased the peace terms of
Turkey would be much more severe
than otherwise and now the allies plan
TO make some sort Of military de-
monstratlon at Constantinople. Just
what form this shall take is understood
not to have been decided but speedy
dicision is expected as Great Britain,
France and Italy are agreed that quick
action is necessary to save hundreds of
lives.
: The allies have enough troops in
Turkey to control Constantinople If it
be necessary to resort to force. but the
allied premiers are believed to be con
ylnced that this necessity will not arise
They are Of the opinion. it appears. that
when the Turkish government finally
comes to the conclusion that the allies
mean business. the situation will be con
siderably clarified This is the first point
IN the plan Of the conference
What the conferees really would like,
according to the reports of statements
at the meetings here. is for the United
States to augment her naval forces in
Turkish waters, but there seems to he
little expectation that this can be
brought about
Although the premiers are not attend
ing the sessions now, the peace con
ference as it is constituted has full
powers to rearrange the outline of the
Turkish treaty within a fortnight The
conferees, however, are not planning to
hurry with the document. now that the
reports of the massacres have been con
firrned

AUTO MOST DEADLY MACHINE In U.S..
ACCIDENTS KILL 10000 in LAST YEAR;
FATALITIES GROW WITH CAR OWNERS

Briefly it is apparent that the auto
mobile has become the most deadly ma
chine in the United States Census NOR
tality reports show that one half the
number of deaths are caused by auto
mobiles against the other half charged
against industrial accidents Of all sorts.
Even more alarming than these stats
tics is the fact that in almost every case
of comparison, year by year, of the
number of automobiles, in use and the
number Of automobile deaths, indicates
that the deaths are increasing in almost
exact mathematical ratio with the in
crease in the number of automobiles.
With this rule as guide. it is altogether
likely that more than ten thousand per
sons will be killed by automobiles this
year.

Will require another ratification.
Powerful influences are working in

Socialists and labor party radicals
insist the reparations clauses are
too severe. International chances
are likely in the whole instrument,
Jurists declare the allies had no
right to attempt to dictate Ger

such clauses should be ahroaated,
Already there is a strong move
ment on foot for rewriting the Hun

all the Magyars now placed under

will permit Austria to attact, her
self to Germany when 1t is seen
Austria Is so crippled she can never
provide for herself and when the
United States finally withdraws from

France or Great Britain.
So far Austria has been forbidden

cause Uncle Sam has been paving
the bills keeping Austria going. The
only treaty which Is likely to stand
as written Is the Bulgarian pact.
