perial Valley according to a recent
bulletin of the Automobile Club of
Southern California which reports ex-
cellent shooting in flooded fields and
in the marshes at the mouth of New

are mostly sprig with an occasional
redhead and canvasback.

birds having arrived in large numbers
and the season about at its height
Ravmer's and Mullet Island in Salton
sea also advise good shooting with
plenty of teal, mallards, canvasbacks,
sprig and pidgeon.
Many local parties went out for
ducks over Armistice Day and the gen

birds but too many oVeranxious hunt
ers, who shoot while the birds are
still too high, thereby soaring them
off and making good shots few and far
between.
a general request has been made
for consideration for the other fellow,
and hunters urged to avoid unnecessary
shooting in order to give all an equal
chance at the birds.

PARIS, Nov. 14.-Fresh demands
were made by the Angora government
Of Mustapha Kemal today as French
and British diplomats sought to agree
upon united front at the Lausanne
peace conference, now definitely set
for November 90
Turk envoys at Laussane declared
they would abandon the parey entire
" if the allies, at a preliminary meet
ing formulated peace terms en- bloc
and tried to force these upon Turkey.
Britain and France, still at odds over
the allied attitude at the Forthcoming
conference, had planned to hold a
council of foreign ministers, including
Italy and Belgium, at which terms
should be drawn up for Turkish ne
ceptance. The Turks have put the
sl.oc on the other foot, announcing the
allies must accept their ,terms or
there will be no conference at the same
time, Near East relief dispatches told
of an order that has gone out from
Angora, commanding all of the Christ
ianS in Anatolia to evacuate within ~
days. Mindful of what happened at
the expiration of the last Turkish III
timatum of this sort, 10000 Christians
are fleeing in a panic from Anatoiia
choking the roads in their flight.
Meanwhile, the situation in Constan-
tinople itself is critical. Turkish and
allied commanders are struggling for
control of municipal affairs, with the
Kcmalists repeating their requests that
the allies get their troops and warships
out of the city and away from the
straits. Cooperation in maintaining
order in a city that is like a slumber
ing volcano, with internecine passions
ready to flame into warfare at q
moment s notice, has become impossi
Bile through Turkish truculence, Frenel
advisers at Constantnople report. The
allies are less anxious than ever to i'm
pose martial law, fearing that woult
be final signal for clash with Turk

Man Who Served in France

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Officials
of the government census bureau esti-
mated that Approximately 1000 Jap
anese will lose their naturalization
papers already granted them, as the res
suit of the court decision holding that
japanese are not eligible to American
citizenship.
OF this number, the ruling will come
hardest to more than 300 Japanese who
were given naturalization papers after
they had served with the American
forces during the World War.
At the present time the total num-
Der of Japanese nationalists In this
country is about ,0l2.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14.-Im-
portant litigation involving the right
of citizenship of Japanese who served
in the American army during the war
may be affected by decision of the SUI
prcme court holding that Japanese cam
not become American citizens, attor-
ncys here believed today.
The point is being tested in the suit
of Ichiao SatO against Harry Hall,
county clerk of Sacramento, and was
scheduled to come before the state SUI
preme court today but was continued
pending receipt of the supreme court
decision rendered yesterday.
Sato served with the 9lst division in
France during the war and was grant
ed citizenship papers under the act of
congress providing for automatic ma
turaization of all aliens serving under
the American colors.
On Sato s return to Sacramento he
sought to be registered as Il voter.
County Clerk Hall refused him regis
tration and suit was brought to settle
the point and test the right of Jap
anese soldiers in the American army
to citizenship.
In the Sacramento superior court
and the state appellate court the de-
cisions have been against Sato.
