TURKISH DELEGATES
FACE DIFFICULT PROBLEM.

LAUSANNE, Dec. 7.-(By tha
Associated Press) Turkish dele-s
gates at the Near East conference
faced difficult problem deciding
whether Turkey, in formulating her
plan for control Of the Dardanelles,
should cast her lot with the Russian
or Entente powers and the United
States. Turkeys suggestion for
the solution of the straits question
will be made public tomorrow
A strong American plea for free
dom of the straits, with. the right
of warships to pass to and from the
Black Sea, was the outstanding fea-
ture Of the Near Eastern confer
ence yesterday, which received from
the Entente nations definite
project for the future control Of this
great world waterway. The Russian
plan for the exclusion Of all but
Turkish warships from the straits re-
eeived bad blow By the Allied pro-
posals.
Richard Washburn child, the
American ambassador, adopted the
broad standpoint that the very IN
terests OF the countries bordering OH
the Black Sea made it imperative to
keep the straits open. The United
States in common with every COM
mercial nation wishes access to ev-
cry free body Of water in the world.
and America would not be satisfied
IT her ships of war could not pursue
their peaceful errands wherever
American citizen and merchant craft
were accorded that privilege.
The Entente nations, through Lord
Curzon, presented a comprehensive
plan for restricted opening of the
straits, which was designed to pre-
vent any one body from acquiring
mastery there; they suggested de-
mllltarization of the entire straits
territorial zone and proposed the
appointment of an international COM
mission to guarantee observance sof
freedom of the straits.
George Tchitcherin, the Russian
Soviet foreign minister, ridiculed the
Allied proposals, saying it meant re-
sumption of international rivaIries,
but lsmet Pasha, for Turkey, inform
ed the Associated Press that he con
sldered the Entente propositions
suitable basis for further discussions
winch will be resumed Friday.
In addition to the plan presented
today the Allies are arranging for
the formation of committee Of ex-
perts to work out detailed arrange
ment for protecting Constantinople

tLITTLE RED PLAYHOUSE"

The little Red Playhouse on the
Hooks lawn on Lee street was the
meeting place every Sunday after
noon through the summer months for
IL little girls, who sang glad songs
and read scripture lessons and pray
ed their little prayers.
These little girls brought each
Sunday afternoon bright pennies for
the contribution box, until it has
reached the amount of as cents.
Today that As cents has been turn
ed over to the Empty Stocking fund,

And today these II little girls ask
that they be permitted to head the
list of contributors to the Empty

StateBank Law
Is Upheld

ATLANTA, Dec. 7.-The con-
stitutionality Of provisions of the
state banking law with reference to
assessments upon stockholders OF
insolvent banks in order to pay the
claims of depositors is upheld in a
decision handed down by the Su-
preme court today The decision
was rendered in the case of the
Commercial City Bank of Americus.
The foregoing decision is iof
wide interest here and is expected
to result in renewed litigation over
possession of the estate OF the late
Crawford Wheatley. Upon failure
of the Commercial City Bank sew
eral months ago, fl fas were issued
again Wheatley's estate by the state
banking superintendent, but when
it was sought to enforce these pro-
ceedings were started to test the
constitutionality of the new bank
ing statute.
Several parcels of property levied
upon as the property of Wheatley,
It is alleged, do not constitute any
part of his estate, and the owner
ship of this is yet to be decided.
Most of the property in dispute is
located in East Americus, and much
Of it is considered very valuable.
