SAN RENO, Apr. 21.--(night)-
The third day of the conference of
1.-THE allied premiers was completed to-
night and apparently little had been
ACCOMPLISHED
SO far the premiers have spent
practically all their time discussing
the Turkish question. The official
statement tonight said:
THE conference this afternoon re-
sumed discussion OF the clauses of the
Turkish treaty. 1t heard naval and
military experts on technical points
and examined certain territorial
quesu tons"
Settlement OF the -Adr-iatic question,
which italians had hoped would be
effected during the present conference
apparently has been postponed to the
May meeting in Paris.
The fugo-Slay delegation. which ar
rived here from Paris TO-DAY denied
a report that NJ. RauUvitch, the Jugo-
Slav conferee in the recent Italian
Jugo-Slav negotiations was coming to
San Reno from Belgrade. Premier
Nitti of Italy, however, probably will
inform the conference OF the results
of the recent negotiations and read
the memorandum brought by Adristlt'
cities representatives, urging for
economic, sentimental and military
reasons" that integral execution OF
the pact of London would be wholly !
desirable to them. These cities In /
clude Sebenica, cara and Spalato.
The Turkish question, it was learn !
ed, was proving more knotty than the
premiers had anticipated. At yester'
DAVIS meeting OF military experts 1t
was agreed that for many years Il
minimum of 10000 men would pc re-
yuired to hold the valley of the River
Meander if that district was taken
over by the allies, and to protect
Smyrna.
Duty OF providing these men would
fall upon Greece and it was considered
doubtful whether the little nation
could sustain 80 costly an effort. I,
In Atolio and Cecilia the experts =,
agreed, Mustapha Renal could be /
brought to terms only by sendlng ,
arge inter-allied force to execute the
reaty and disarm the population. Z
