Turkish NatiOnaliStS
 To Oppose Allies

Constandnople, March 19.---Leaders of the Turkish nationalists from Azer. baijan to Palestine seem to be coop eratng in a movement to oppose al- lied proposals for a peace unfavoraible to Turkey. Men closely associated with Mustapha Renal, leader of the nationalistS, have been Skil1funy pro- noting opposition to all foreign inter- ference, it is asserted, and the Arabs, Kurds and other tribes are said to be mate any movement on the part of the entente looking to the partition ing of the country.
 The whole movement seems to be political rather than religious, it be ing declared by many not to be pam Islamic in any way. Whether Bol- shevism enters into the situation has not yet developed but it may turn in that direction. Mesopotamia has so far held aloof from the Russian Bolsheviki.
 Turkish newspapers frankly say the allies cannot muster sufficient strength to force an unacceptable peace upon the country. They point to Captain 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 it would be better in any event 10 risk humiliating defeat rather than have

The argument that jury verdicts should be greater because of the high cost of living did not prevail in the Superior Court this morning when Attorney T. E. Steiber argued before Judge Keeler that the verdict of $1,- 250 for Anna Hoops of this city, against David Gibson should be allow ed to stand. The court said he would set aside the verdict unless the girls counsel agreed within one week to re- init all in excess of $1,000.
 Attorney Steiber argued that the damages should have been greater and maintained that Judge Keeler had made a mistake in not making a cer- tain charge to the jury, although the lawyer admitted he mad not requested any such charge.
 T don't intend to sit here and hear you tell me I erred in not charging the jury in Q certain way when you made no request for such a.. charge p declared the court.

 With the exception of the Marasf incident there have been no mas sacres of Christians, although large numbers of Armenians and Greeks are at the mercy of the Turks in Asia Minor.

They were placed on board the cruiser Hebiscus today shortly before that warship sailed.
 After Mustapha Renal and Reouf Bey, Ha1ide Edib was probably the best known speaker and organizer in the nationalist movement. When the Greeks landed at Smyrna and som 8 Turks were killed she cast aside all traditions of Turkish women. She organized and addressed mass meet ings and so inflamed the Turks here against alleged plans for the dis memberment of the country that the Allied high commissioners forbade further meetings.

Adopt A
 Modified Preamble
Preparing For Final Vote on Ratifica-
 ton.

Washington, March 19-Pre- pairing for final vote on rati- ficatiOn of the peace treaty the Senate today adopted the mod flied reservation preamble worked out in the bipartisan conference under which af- firmative acceptance of the re- servatiOns by the other poW- CTS would not be required.
 The preamble provides that fail ure on the part of the allied and as- sociated powers to make objection to said reservations and understandings prior to the deposit of ratification by the United States shall be taken as a full and final acceptance of such reservations and understandings by said powers"
 The preamble was offered by Sena- tor Lodge of Massachusetts, the Re- publican leader, and accepted with out a roll call.
 A strong reservation expressing sympathy for Ireland and holding out faint hope of future independence was adopted after an all day wrangle. It is the only new one made part of the Lodge program since the treaty again was taken up Feb. g. It be- comes No. 15. The reservation was offered by Senator Gerry and follows:
 ''In consenting to the ratification of the treaty with Germany, the United States adheres to the principle of self-determination and to the resolu- ton of sympathy with the aspirations of the Irish people for a government of their own choice, adopted by the Senate June 6. 1919. and declares that when such government is attained by Ireland, a consummation, which, it is hoped, is at hand, it should promptly be admitted as a member of the League of Nations
 Amendments of every conceivable variety were offered and in turn re- jected. The new reservation was adopted by vote of 38 to 36. This was distributed without reference to party or factional lines.
