President Holds Constantinople
Storm Center Without
Freedom.
MAY OPPOSE PEACE TREATY
Atrocities Against Armenians
Not OverdraWn, lnyesti-
cation Shows.

President Wilson will refuse to
recognize the peace treaty with Tur-
key il the allies carry out their an
nounced intention OF allowing the
Sultan to remain in Constantinople.
1t was predicted here today.
The President is unalterably op
posed to leaving the Turk in Con-
stantinople, on the ground that the
peace OF Europe will be jeopardized,
1t was said today on high authority.
The views of this Government on
Constantinople have been outlined
to the allied premiers, 1t Is under
stood. Although the United States
has been invited to participate in the
making of the Turkish treaty, this
work has been followed only unoffi-
cially. The treaty is expected to be
presented to Turkey on March 20.
Oppose Turk in Europe.
Reports from all over the United
States. newspapers and Congress IN
cluded, are that American sentiment
10 solidly opposed to leaving Con.
stantinople in the hands OF the
Turks. Press dispatches from London
make 1t clear that public sentiment
there also is over rwhelmingly opposed
to such a settlement, regardless of
Lloyd Georges declaration that Eng
landsgave a pledge to India that the
Sultan would not be driven out Of
Constantinople.
In France sentiment seems to be
along the same lines. and political
writers have adopted a critical atti-
tude toward the reported decision.
Americas position is said to be well
known to allied statesmen.
The talk of holy war by the Mos
lem races IL the Sultan is elected
from Constantinople has never been
taken nearly as seriously here as in
some European capitals. 1t is real
lied that England has Moslsul
problem OF large proportions in India,
but this is held to furnish no ground
for such a settlement of the Turkish
question.

Even in Turkey there is i'm
provement. Homeless, starving
dogs that made Constantinople's
streets hideous and dangerous
have been driven out. Many were
put on an island because Turkish
religious feeling forbade killing
them. On that island the miser-
able dogs devoured each other.
Pagan religions sometimes work
that way.
Having got rid Of the dogs in
Constantinople, Turkish women
have now got rid Of their wells,
another improvement in many
cases. That is a change since tho
