LANE CORRECTS IDEA OF
OIL LAND LEASING BILL

Washington, Feb. 26.--To correct mis-,
information relative to the scope ana
effect of the oil and mineral land leas-
ing bill approved yesterday by the pres
ident, Secretary Lane today issued a
statement declaring many have gained
the impression that leases on proven OIL
lands of great value are to be had by
the mere filing of an application ahead
of anybody else.
In the first place" said the secretary,
"it should be understood that proven
lands of the government are largely
covered by claims of various kinds that
have been in litigation for some years.
and which claims must be submitted for
adjustment, within six months under
section 1S, lS-A and 10, OF the new law
Until such claims are acted upon none
of these lands can be leased, and then
only to the extent with such claims are
rejected"
The secretary stated that the only
part of the act which is self-operatlve
is that portion of section -, which pro-
vides for securing a preference right for
an oil prospecting permit, by posting
notice on the grounds, and dhis applies
only to lands not in the geologic strnc-
ture of producing oil field.

TO CONTROL HIM
Martens, Soviet Ambassador,
Tells of Relations With Rus
sian Socialist Federation.

Washington, Feb. 26.--The rela-
tionship of Ludwig C. A. X. Martens,
Russian soviet agent in the United
States, and the Russian socialist fed
GRAFTON, was again the subject of in
quiry today before the senate COM
mittee investigating bolshevik prop

the leaders and members of the fed
Grafton were rounded up in the re-
cent radical raid conducted by the
department. of justice and now are
awaiting deportation.
Martens admitted that he had met
on several occasions in conference
or executive session with the fedora
tion and it's leaders. He. denied that
the federation had any control over
his actions as soviet Ambassador"
but admitted they had tried to con-
troll him.
The witness said he tried to get a
resolution on the subject adopted by
the federation's central committee
and when he failed to do so he with
drew. Questioned by Wade II. Ellis,
counsel for the committee, Martens
said he met with the federation be-
cause he desired no opposition from
the Russian masses in this coun-
try" He said the Russians had been
"criticlsing my actions bitterly, in
letters and speeches"
Mr.. Ellis established that the fed
erstion's Detroit convention last year
had reafiirmed it's purposes ito estab-
lish the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat in the United States"
IF that meeting had been open, the
police would have raided it?" Mr..
Ellis asked.
Il suppose the police would have
dubbed them away" Martens said,
they have other meetings of
Russian citizens in the United
States"
Mr.. Ellis put into the record the
minutes of the Detroit convention
and Martens translated a line or
two of the Russian for the commit
tee. Permit me to greet you, in the
knowledge that eventually my work
must play an important role in the
legislation of the communist party in
America" Martens opening speech
to the Detroit convention of the fed
GRAFTON began.
Martens denied he had ever said
this, adding that he had protested
to the central committee
when he saw the minutes.

Turkish Peace Pact Dispos-
sesSeS Government of Half
.'of Empire.
ALLIED FLAG AT CAPITAL
ID ard a n elles Never to Be
Closed Again in Face of
British Warships.

London, Feb. 26.-formaI an.
nouncement that the Turkish gov
ernment is to retain Constantinople
was made in the house of commons
this afternoon by Premier Lloyd
George. The premier added:
ut would be the height of folly,
however, to trust the guardianship OF
the Gates (DardaneIIes and the Bos-
phorus) to a people who betrayed
their trust. The gates will never be
ctooed by the Turks in the face of
British warshps again."
Turkey is to be stripped of half
OF her empire under the Turkish
peace treaty, and will be completely
dispossessed of her military and
naval prestige, the premier declared.
The Turkish capital will be under the
allied flag in the future, he added.
when the treaty is published in full
the greatest enemy of the Turk will
realize that he has been abundantly
punished for his follies and blunders,"
continued the premier.
The premier denied that Jewish
financiers were responsible for the pol
icy of allowing the Turks to retain con-
stantinople.
Touching on the Indian situation the
premier said that the British viceroy
had reported the Mohammedan popu-
Alation disturbed and seeking assurances
Nfor the future.
Neil Mcclellan attacked the Turkish
settlement. He declared that Con
NEtantinople is a cesspool of intrigue"
AAnd predicted that 1.-THE sick man of
AEurope" in Turkey would recover, and
4tAat Constantinople would again be the
seat of a world war.
The decision not to ouSt Turkey from
\ Constantinople was reached by the al
lied supreme council only after long
consideration Of The difficulties In the
Turkish situation. Premier Lloyd
George declared in the house of COM
mons today when the question of the
future of Turkey was brought up for
debate.
Referring to the agreement made
early In the war under which Russia
was to obtain Constantinople, Mr.. Lloyd
George said this agreement had ended,
so far as Russia was concerned by
the revolution of 1917 and the peace
of Brest-Litovsk.
The influence which had decided the
peace conference to retain the Turks
in Constantinople, the premier said, had
come from India. The two peace dele
gates of India at Paris neither of
whom was Mohammedan, had de-
clared that unless the allies retained
the Turks in Constantinople their ac-
tion would be regarded as a gross
breach of faith on the part of the Britt
ishe empire, the premier informed the
house.
not taken a Mandate. Mr.. Lloyd George
said. For the moment America must
be reckoned as entirely out of any arr
rangement we contemplate for the gov
ernment of Turkey and the protection
Of Christian minorties."

Treaty Called an instrument
Of Hate and Destruction"
"Serpent Of Treason"

Washington, Feb. ee,--Another
broadside OF denuneiation WIS loos-
ened by irreconcilable opponents of
the peace treaty today when the sem
ate took up the subject under an
agreement to keep 1t constantly un-
der consideration until disposed OF.
Senators France. republican. Mary
land, and Reed, democrat, Missouri,
led of for the irreconcilables, the
former chamcterlzing the treaty as
an instrument of hate and destruc-
ton" and the latter calling II a ser
pent of treason"
The debate began after the senate
had voted with only a few scatter
inE noes" to pass over Article \
until action had been taken on all
the other proposed reservations. The
motion was made by Senator Lodge,
the republican leader. and, although
Senator Knox, republican, Pennsyl-
vania, one OF the irreconoilable group,
said he could not see the wisdom OF
delaying a decision, no rollcall was
demanded.
Senator France, presenting for
mally the resolution he offered sew
eral days ago for a declaration of
peace, declared the reservations dis
cussion had descended to "sophistry'
and "mere quibblinE over language"
Neither the republican nor demo-
cratic reservations proposed, he said,
would materially modify the league
of nations.
The France resolution also pro-
vdcs for an internationnl conference
to consider a concert for peace, but
provides that this authorization shall
be ineffective II president pledged
for the league with or without reser-
vations shall he elected next fall. BY
this method, the Maryland senator
argued the presidential campaign
could be made a referendum on ac-
ceptance OF the present League cove
