Turkish Women Try
to Reform Mere Man

Constantinople, May 2S.-Since
they have had a touch and a sight
of Paris and particularly Of dances
and dresses, Turkish women are max
ing attempts to reform their male
masters and are threatening to dis
card the traditional veil. Many have
already done so, causing the chief Of
police to issue an edict proclaiming
that women dancing in public dis
guised as Europeans" are liable to
prosecution.
Turkish women's clubs are creep
ing up everywhere, and tea dances,
dinner dances and similar amuse-
ments have been introduced in all
classes. In many homes wells have
been done away with, and pretty Pa
risian evening dresses and walking
out costumes have replaced Turkish
draperies. One club has hired rooms
for dancing where only competent
Europeans are allowed entry. This
is considered a serious offense, and
the population is astir as to what will
happen to the guilty ones" when the
chief of police carries out his threat
to prosecute.

Negotiations on
Conins-De Valera
Pact Deadlocked
Meeting at London Adjourns
Without Reaching Agree.
ment-Lloyd George
Warns Against Break.
BY HENRY WALES.
COpyrixi,t 1922.

London, May 28.-Unable to reach
a satisfactory agreement regarding
Interpretation of the Irish treaty, the
representatives of the British and
Irish governments discussing the
new Irish situation arising from the
Collins-De Valera pact, adjourned
until next week. The conference
was attended by Prime Minister
Lloyd George and Winston Church
ill for Great Britain and Michael
Collins and Arthur Griffith for Ire
land.
At the session, which lasted two
hours, Mr.. Collins said that neither
he nor Mr.. de Valera intended to
violate the peace treaty, but they
sought compromise agreement with
the Sim Fein.
The calling of general election
in the south of Ireland next month,
as the treaty provides, to decide the
free states policy to Ulster forms
the principal stumbling block. Mr..
Collins insisting that there will be
insurmountable difficulties if the
balloting is held in the near future.
The Irish urge delay under the coali-
ton government, as provided in the
Collins-De Valera pact, pending the
abatement of bloodshed, the restora-
ton of order and the assumption Of
complete control over the free state
by the newly created authorities.
They claim that peace in Ireland
was the primary object Of the origi-
nal treaty and the secondary agree
ments and pacts are aimed with the
same end in view, to coincide with
the spirit of the treaty.

President Approves
Eight-HOur Work Day
for Postal EmDlO4es

Washington. May 2S.-(By A.
PD-President Harding took ac-
ton affecting more than $4,000
postal clerks and carriers throughout
the country when he approved
recommendation of the Postofice de-
partment for the establishment of a
strict eight-hour basis for postal en-
ployes.
The presidents approval of the
plan followed a conference at the
White House with Acting Post
master General Bartlett. who ex-
planned that thousands of employees,
by reason of the exhaustion of ap-
preparation for auxiliary clerks. were
obliged to work from one-half to two
hours overtime each day. The presi-
dent was of the opinion, it was
understood. that additional clerks
in sufficient numbers should be put
TO work at all points where overtime
is now required in the discharge of
postal duties. To make such move
possible, the president was said to
have advised Mr. Bartlett that he
would ask congress for an additional
or deficiency appropriation.

era OF development and open the
way to the employment OF 100000
men.

three railway members of the board
and the three members representing

fell in the war. .e.
I'VE will not abandon our al
lies; on the contrary we desire to
remain united with them," M.
Clemenceau continued. However, we
demand a little justice in our be-
half. We shall not forget the as.
sistance which was given, nor shall
we forget our duty. We ask that
en- their side they understand-that
tl.ey do not accuse us Of ulterior mo-
tives.

terests for the interests of others.
We want to do all that is possible
to make peace, but there is a limit
beyond which we will not go. We

wish peace. However, we are cap
able of making war. Nations are

we are friendly, but unfortunately
we have not ended wars. ~

a battle to found family, to make
it live, to make it prosper-a battle
for those for whom it is ones duty to
