Tewfik Pasha, on the other hand, Is
a typical diplomat of the old Turkish
regime He presented a rather pa

wrapped in rugs, speaking only once,
when he replied to the British prime

Agree on Broad Principles.
The two delegations agreed on the
broad principles of their claims. These
looked toward maintaining the in
tegrity of the Ottoman empire, but
with recognition of the fact that the
allies would maintain mandates over
certain parts of former Turkish prov
inceS.
They insisted on the rights of mi
noritieS under these mandates, and de-
manded also the return of Thrace and
SMYRNA to Turkey. The liberty of

the straits and military and financial
control in COnstantinOple were insist
ed upon.
Mr.. Lloyd George said it would be
necessary to go beyond mere state
ments of general principles, and that
| the allies required specific details of
| the proposals for examination.
When the British prime minister
made this request Bekir Samy Bey in
| terpOsed, making a longer, more de-

| George still was not satisfied and
| asked that the proposals be put in

| The nationalist delegate agreed to
| this, but before the conference ad-

| delegation alone was authorized to
| represent Turkey. Mr.. Lloyd George
replied that it was not the business
of the conference to decide between
the two delegations and that 1T would
have to hear them both.
The conference adjourned with the
understanding that the Turks would
submit their proposals at IL 10 O'Clock
Thursday morning.

Wellington KOo, for China, then
threw a bombshell into the council by
announcing that China favors the
"freest possible publicity" and urged
that the contents of the entire note be
given Immediately to the press.
After a stormy discussion in which
only the question of publicity was de-
bated, it was finally decided to issue
much censored summary
The pronouncement Of the japanese
ambassador. which definitely places
the United States at loggerheads with
the league, was delivered Immediately
after American Ambassador Wallace
had handed President Da Cunha
long note from Washington.
Washington Warns League.
The note from Washington formally
warned the league that America would
never recognize the Japanese-Yap
mandate. 1t also demanded that the
league revoke the class @ mandates
announced in December and recon
slider the whole matter.
The Washington note expressed the
great surprise of the American govern
ment that the league had given the
Yap mandate to Japan, without con-
sulting the United States. 1t stated
that Washington had plainly intimated
on several occasions the Importance
of the Island of zap as a cable sta
ton, such as should not be given to
any power but should be interna-
tionalized or placed under American
protection.

The liquor forces got another set
back in Congress on Monday, when the
Senate by vote of 80 to 20 passed tie
measure, already adopted BY the
House, prohibiting physicians from
prescribing beer as a medicine and
otherwise tightening up the Volstead
prohibition law. The "wets" made
strenuous efforts to defeat or nullify
this bill, which kills ruling by the
Attorney-General allowing physicians
10 prescribe beer with large alcoholic
content and which would have flooded
the country with the product of brew
cries that are still resisting the prohi-
bition law.
Despite all the buster of the
"wets,' there is constant tightening
up of the prohibition laws. The sale of
liquor is dead thing in this coun-
try.

THE primary election in Virginia
last week, which resulted in the nomi-

over Harry st. George Tucker, was a
shcck and a surprise to many who can
hardly realize that the old arisiocracy
OF Virginia is no longer the all-pow-
erful influence that dominates the
State. A fine gentleman of a fine fami-
ly, Mr.. Tucker was overwhelmingly
defeated by MIR. Trinkle, the repre-
sentative of the modern and progress
SiVe element of Virginia, which cares
more for business and efficiency than
for tradition.
Mr.. Trinkle's nomination is another
victory for the temperance forces OF
Virginia. The prohibitionists were
fearful OF Mr.. fuckers sentiments on
this subject, and they unhesitatinely
gave their support to Mr.. Trinkle
They know his record and his senti
ments and the dry influence helped tc
magnify his victory.
