the American Representatives woult

Lausanne, Nov. "a (By the Associ
ated Press).-Eliptherios Venizelos,
former premier of Greece, and M
.Stamboulisky, the Bulgarian prime
minister faced each other at today,
session of the Near Eastern confer.
ence, when an effort was made to
reach an agreement on Bulgaria's
claim to an outlet into the Aegean
sea. Both men showed great emo
ton.
Stamboulisky was holding out for
he actual possession by Bulgaria oil
he port of Dedeagatch, contending
hat in no other way could Bulgaria
>e guaranteed free commerce. Veni
clos! opposed this proposal in an i'm
oassioned speech, holding out for q
free port at Dedeagatch under the
ontrol of mixed commission.
'The temper of the speech Of M
Venizelos alone indicates what diff
,ulties Bulgaria would have ndeal-
ing through a port which is not az.
tually in her possession" M. Stam
boulisky retorted.
The clash did not give weight ta
the rumors of Balkan entente, ia
include Greece, Bulgaria, Rumanis
and Jugoslayia, !, which rumors have
been circulated In Lausanne for the
past fewSdays. BulgaFia today made
reservations on the Sdeaision to givs
her the use Of Dedeagatch as q free
port and Turkey made reservations

border without giving her Asiy gdaff'
antees that neutrality would be re-
3rected.
Thus Lausanne seemingly already
is getting into the class Of the Genoa
which was more notable
for the reservssieas-she- powers made
than it was for definite agreements
arrived at without reservations.
Ismet Pasha today wanted clear
understanding in the treaty which the
Lausanne conference frames that the
powers will guarantee the neutrality
of the zone which Turkey requesrs
shall be created from the Black sea
% the Aegean sea. He asks that a
belt of territory 60 kilometers wide
be laid out, thirty kilometers on each
side of the frontier between Turkey
and Bulgaria and between Turkey
and Greece along the Maritz river,
which forms q national boundary be-
tween eastern and western Thrace.
Ismet called attention to the i'm
rortance of fortifcation on the iron
ties of the city of Adrianople, say
ing it would be too much to ask tn.
Turks to destroy these strongholds
without effective guarantees tina,
they would not be relsuired in the fu
'ufe.
The representatives of the powers
gathered at Lausanne apparently did
not find great joy in the prospect Of
assuming responsibility that the neu.
trality Of such an important Balkan
belt would be respected. At all
events they avoided taking any def
mite decision. They agreed that ne'i
trality undoubtedly would arise as AZ
issue when the Dardare!les question
is discussed and that the Constanti
