STORMY time
LAUSANNE
THREATENED
Yuletide Spirit Fails
to Soften Temper of
Sub-commission on
Minorities.

LAUSANNE. Dec. 22.-Christmas
threatens to be a stormy time at the
Lausanne Near Eastern conference.
Thursday was a bad day; today was
worse. A temper which did not seem
TO harmonize with the usual spirit of
the Yuletide perVaded today's session
OF the sub-commission on minorities.
Efforts were made to get DR.. Ria
Nur Bey, the second Turkish dele
gate who formerly was accredited by
the Angora government to represent
it at Moscow, % agree to the exemp-
ton Of the Christian minorities in
Turkey from military service. But
he refused flatly and seemingly sui
lerly. He declined TO give any reason
for this declination and several others
equally as flat.
Ria Nur Bey also refused to agree
to Il provision for the preservation Of
Christian cemeteries in Turkey. This
caused much surprise among the
other representatives, as the Turks
ordinarily are extremely careful to
protect all cemeteries.
The allies insisted upon considera
tiou Of the clause providing that the
Turks must respect the work done
under the League Of Nations in re
covering and restoring to their fami-
lies Christian women and children
who were seized and IslamiZed by
the Turks before the close OF the
great war.
The Turk also declined to agree to
this provision. and the sub-commis-
sion ended the session seemingly
with a feeling OF utter disgust at the
attitude Of Ria Nur Bey. which sew
eral members of the sub commission
described as "highly insolent."
The Turkish delegation has re-
ceiyed instructions from AngOra that
no agreements are TO be made at.
Lausanne on economic questions.
which are to lie over for negotiation
1t some later time.
This has created dissatisfaction
among the allies, especially the
French, who are anxious that econ
omic questions should be settled at
this conference. Control Of the straits
still is being considered in private
session.
