Arguments and e1oquence abound ing will probably be the items of spe- cia1 interest at the meeting of the Cannon Council tonight in the coun- cil chambers at o'clock. Officials at city hall today promised nothing ex- cept the ordinary. routine business with perhaps the additional work of passing few long-standing ordi- nances.

TURKEY DENIES RESPONSIBILITY
 FOR MURDERS

Constantinople, Feb. 16 - Turkey denies all responsibility for the main- tenance of order in the Aintab region, where James Perry and Frank John son, representatives of the American Y. M. c. A. were killed recently. This stand is taken on the ground that the French and British troops are jointly occupying Syria and that Aintafb is well within the armistice lines, 1t is learned on good authority.
 The government probably will not make any official statement regarding its responsibility for the death of Perry and Johnson, until the investt- gation nowin progress has been com pleted.

W. branches in nearly 50 industrial centers through out the territory, mostly in Pennsyl- vania, Illinois, New Jersey and the manufacturing cities of New Eng land, 1t was said. Seach is being conducted on 8 nationwide basis foI E. F. Doree, Philadelphia secretary of the I. w. w, who occupied a room jointly with Andrea Graziana of the terrorists group. The I.

DRASTIC TERMS TO BE IMPOSED
 ON B0LSHEv|KI

Warsaw, Feb. 16<- Terms which may be viewed as quite drastic have been advanced by Polish nationalists in framing military conditions to be imposed upon the Rolsheviki in the arrangement of a peace settlement. These include a demobilization of the Ted armies on this front. and the es- tabHshment of Polish bridgeheads ever the rivers Dvina and Dnieper.
 Armistice plans call for a strategic line protecting Poland if peace nego- tiations are unsuccessful. As the allies demanded the left bank of the Rhine from Germany, the Poles plan to demand bridgeheads at ViteEosk and Orsha, on the Dvina, and the pos. sible occupation of Smolensk as a guarantee the Bo1sheviki will fulfill the conditions.
