|SLAM|C PEOPLES
UNITE WITH TURKS
0ttomans Say Allies Cannot
Force Objectionable Treaty.
Americans Neutral.

CONSrANTINOPLE. March 49,
Leaders Of the Turkish nationalist
from AxerbaijRn to Palestine seem t
be cooperating in a movement to op'
pose allied proposals for q peace un'
favorable to Turkey.
Men closely associated with Mus
tapha Kemal, leader Of the national
lists, have been skillfully promoting
opposition to all foreign interference
1t is asserted, and the Arabs, Kurdl
and other tribes are said to be align
ed with forces planning to checkmate
sny movement on the part Of the entente
looking to the partitionins Of the coun-
try.
The whole movement seems to b
political rather than religious. 1t be.
ing declared by many not to be pan.
islamic in any way. Whether boil.
shevism enters into the situation has
not as yet developed, but 1t may turn
in that direction. Mesopotamia has SC
far held aloof from the Russian boil
sheviki.
Turks Show Resistance.
Turkish newspapers frankly say the
allies cannot muster sufficient
strength to force an unacceptable
peace upon the country. They point
to Capt. Gabrielle D'Annunzio's de-
fiance of the supreme council of the
peace conference and other instances
in which the allies have been power
less to enforce orders, and say il
would be better in any event to risk
humiliating defeat rather than have
the country turned into a group of
european dependencies.'
with the exception Of the Marash
incident there have been no massacres
of Christians. although there are
large numbers of Armenians and
greeks at the mercy of the Turks in
Asia Minor. These people are living
IN terror lest they be attacked when
the peace terms are made known by
the allies. and even in this city we'll
ing into the embassy section. which
is under better police protection than
outlying parts of the city. In some
sections of Asia Minor Christians
nave appealed to the entente to send
troops. while in other regions the al
hes have been asked to withdraw
their troops. it being said the pres
ence Of the soldiers adds to the
danger.
French Are Opposed.
French detachments are reported
to be meeting stubborn resistance in
their effort to occupy districts north
vast u AiCppO, where bTltfSn troops
were formerly stationed.
Americans in Asia Minor have
been requested to remain absolutely
neutral in the event of disorders in
districts occupied by foreign armies
Great reliance is placed in Mustapha
kemars pledge that Americans are
not to be harmed. and many Arnen
ians are placing themselves unde,
the protection Of American missionaries
and relief workers.

HITCHCOCK is RETICENT
AS TO WET PLATFORM

Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska. the
democratic leader of the Senate, de-
clined today to comment on publish
ed reports that his telegram to q
democratic dinner at Omaha, Neb.,
March IL, was to be regarded as an
announcement of his candidacy for
the democratic presidential nomina-
tion on a wet platform.
The telegram, Senator Hitchcock
said spoke for itself as setting forth
his opinions on the liquor issue for
his friends in Nebraska, where an at
tack had been made on him as a re-
suit of the filing of petitions to pledge
the state delegation to support him
for the presidency.
In the telegram the senator said
that while he accepted unreservedly
the peoples verdict against strong in
toxicants. he thought "a lawful way
will be found and ought to be found
to permit the manufacture and harm
less use of light wines and beers"
