By tie Associated Press.


PARIS. March 9.-Premier Millerand
has instructed Jules ]. Jusserand,
French ambassador in Washington
and England and Italy, no doubt, have
initiated him-to communicate to
President Wilson general decisions
reached relative to Turkey by the su-
preme allied council. and to ask his
opinion. says "Pertinax," political edi-
tor of the Echo de Paris.
This was done by way of precau-
ton, in view of Mr.. Wilson's veto of
the Turkish settlement, which Wash
ingtOn dispatches foreshadowed," he
continues. Hope is still entertained,
however, that America will shoulder
her part of the oriental burden"
For Theatrical Denomination.
Premier. Lloyd George of Great
Britain proposed. on Friday. says
'Pertinax." grand theatrical deni-.
onstration at Constantinople-th oc-
cupation of the war ministry, the ar
rest of statesmen working against the
allies and the substitution Of a mod
er1ee, conciliatory cabinet for the
existing semi-nationalist ministry"
He says the dismissal of Mustapha
kemal would also be part of the Brit
ish premier's program.
The Paris ministry has persistently
pointed opf that such clustering in
tervention could only make things
much worse" the writer says, but it
Is improbable Mr.. Lloyd George will
be convinced. for he has engaged in
an internal political maneuver to ap-
pease the non -conformist conscience
Premier Millerand gained few
moments Of grace by stipulating no
action would be taken until the reply
of the allied high commissioners at
Constantinople was received"

says:
mo matter how many troops are
sent to Constantinople, the present
critical situation will not be relieved
until we come to grips with Mustapha
Kemal Pasha, the Turkish commander
in Asia Minor and Cilicia. Not sim
gle European or American in Anatolia
today is safe from assassination.
Open attacks have been made on Eng
lishmen and women and stores OF
ammunition at the Dardanelles have
been carried off into the interior.
This state of things will continue
until it is realized that the real power
in Turkey is not at Constantinople
but at Angora or Sivas, and that the
allies have got to deal with Mustapha
kemal PaSha before any settlement
whatever can be reached. 1t Is futile
to present peace terms to the puppet
government at Stamboul SO long as
the real dictator remains at large"
