the Turks claim that all the Near

The Turks see the mandates as

the leagues action in approving and
issuing the mandates was prema-
ture and Illegal.
The British say the funda mentar
object of the leagues control over

therefore they cannot admit a

WASHINGTON. Nov. 81 Omitted
Press) The United States Govern
ment will use the full weight Of its
influence to prevent the carving out
Of special spheres Of influence and
privilege in Turkish territory by the
great powers at the Lausanne peace
conference. 1t was learned today
from high authorities of this govern
ment The statement at Lausanne
saturday by Ambassado Child's de-
fning the American Governm ent's
vigorous support OF the "open door /
and its opposition to secret and mon
opolistic arrangements in thu Turk

Secretary Of State Hughes for this
reason:
To forestal before any fait ac-
had been effected. secret
agreements before the powers which /
would make It necessary for this
to protest against ar
rangements preiudicing American
interests and which would produce
serious International friction.
This government has no sympathy
with the view now existing in
foreign capitols that the United
States is claiming the same rights
as the other powers in the Near
East settlement but will not accapt
the responsibility for those arrange
ments.
The American Government. It
was declared, is ready to

ity that may fan on it But It
hoes not believe that this country
should undertake to protect lines NJ

iaries in the Turkish settlement.
The Near East has long been the
scene OF wars in which the United
States had no interest or. part. so
his government sees no reason for

RICHARDS REGRETS
HIS TENNIS DEFAULT
But Insists That Entry in
Seventh Regiment Tourney
Was Tentative.

According to word received yesterday
from w. Dickinson Cunningham. presi-
dent of the Seventh Regiment Tennis
Club, Vincent Richards has apologized
to the club for the Inconvenience he
caused the tournament committee BY
defaulting nis match In The national in
door tennis championship recently. after
indicating by telephone that he intended
to play.
1t seems that a meeting was held on
Tuesday at which botn Cunningham and
Richards appeared before Julian S. Ny
rick. president of the United States
Lawn Tennis Association 70 explain the
circumstances Of the default. Cunning
ham declared that he had telephoned
Richards as a matter Of courtesy the
day before entries closed. because Rich
ards was a former champion and held
one leg on the championship trophy
and that he had accepted the entry by
telephone for that reason.
After a short discussion Richards
thanked Cunningham for his courtesy
and apologized for any Inconvenience he
may have caused. although he added
that he had intended his entry to be
purely tentative. lie had defaulted be-
cause he did not feel fit enough phys
weeks tournament.
AT a meeting of the board OF gov
ernors OF the club" writes Mr.. Cunning
ham, lit was voted to accept Richards's
apology and the incident is therefore
closed The question OF the conflict of
dates (between the middle States title
tournament and the national event)
rests in the hands of the executive COM
mittee and we arc content to await their
decision in the matter"
One OF the most attractive OF the
early season tournaments will be the
