LAUSANNE, Nov. 24.-Both Turkey
and Bulgaria made greater demands
than had been anticipated at the meet
ing today of the sub-commission ap-
pointed by the Near East conference
to study and report on the question of
the Tharcian frontier, and Bulgarian
outlet to the Aegean Sea.
In reference to the proposal for
de-militariZed zone along the frontier,
between eastern and western Thrace,
the spokesman for Turkey demanded
effective guarantees. He asked that
these guarantees also apply to the
boundary btween eastern Thrace and
Bulgaria which the latter country asks
de-militarized. Sucn guarantees would
mean surer step toward an effective
peace, according to the Turkish dele
CATION The powers will have difficult
ty in refusing them. Bulgaria asks
for more than mere economic outlet
at Deagatatch near the mouth of the
Meritza. While not demanding terri
torial concessions of that part repre-
sentatives insisted on full control of
the country which would practically
amount to sovereignty. The sub-com-
missions report will be considered by
the full commission later in the day.
LAUSANNE, Nov. 24.-The ques-
tion of Russia's participation in the
Lausanne conference is being consid-
cred, and If the ideas of the delegates
| of the leading European nations are
carried out such participation will be
restricted to questions relating to the
Dardanelles.
The straits question now Is to be
handled by the first commission of the
conference which is also in charge of
military and territorial matters.
| The Russians will be invited to par
ticipate in all discussions bearing on
the status of the straits, but the line
of differentiation between the Darda-
nelles problem and the military and
other questions, is so haZy that diff
Guilty may be encountered in confining
the Bolsheviks severely to that one
point.
Il The idea of re-vamping the old
treaty Of Sevres also has been cast
aside, and the conference will start
afresh to write a new document de-
signed to dispose satisfactorily of the
Near Eastern problem.
Urge Fears Quieted
Turkeys spokesman at the confer
fence hearing Of the arrival of Ameri-
can missionary representatives here
expressed the hope that American
philanthropic and educational institu-
tions would not be needlessly alarmed
by the advent of the new regime in
Turkey. The Kemalist agents ex-
planned that there was no disposition
to drive out Americans, especially
those engaged in educational and char
liable undertakings
1t was pointed out, however, that
Turkey saw no reason why foreign
institutions whether educational or in
dustrial, should be dealt with differ
emily than Turkish institutions and
that if Turkeys schools and factories
paid taxes then foreign establishments

No Special Privileges

D all schools whether foreign or Turkish
Y should teach the Turkish language.

the attention of the conference today.
