I. H. NEWBERRY QUITS
MICHIGAN SENATOR DECLARES
 TT IS FUTILE TO GO ON.
TROVERSY OVER RIGHT TO SEAT IN CONGRESS.

Washington.-Truman H. Newberry of Michigan, whose right to a place ir the Senate has been subject of long and bitter controversy, has submitted | his resignation with a request that il | become effective immediately.
 l In a letter to Governor Groesbeck of Michigan, made public here, MT Newberry said he had been impelled to retire voluntarily because of the de feat of his Republican colleague, Sen ator Townsend, in the election of Nov. z. The turn of events he said would make it ''futule" for him to attempt ] to continue his public service since he continually would be "hampered by partisan political persecution"
 Reviewing the outstanding features of the controversy which grew out of his election four years ago over Hen ny Ford, his Democratic opponent, he declared his right to a seat in the Sen ate had been fully confirmed" He added that if, in the future, there seemed to be opportunities for public service he would not hesitate to offer himself to his state and country.
 The resignation brings to an end a fight which already has made political history and which it appeared would be resumed early in the present ses- sion of Congress. Convicted in Mich igan of a conspiracy to violate election laws, Senator Newberry appealed to the Supreme Court, which declared un- constitutional the statute under which he was accused. The Senate itself, after a long investigation, finally con- firmed his title to a seat by margin closed the case was an issue in many states.
 A copy of the letter of resignation sent to Governor GrOesbeck was de livered to Vice President Coolidge by Walter R. Dorsey, MT. Newberry's secretary. MT. Newberry himself is at his home in Detroit.
 Confident that as the result of the recent elections they had gained suf- ficient strength to give them a clear cut majority, senators who voted last January to deprive MT. Newberry of his seat had planned to bring about another vote on the question in Con gress and possibly to force the issue to another vote before next March 4.
 Some of MT. Newberry's political advisors are known to have been urging him since the election to sub- init his resignation and rumOrs had been current that he was about to do so. Before the Senate voted on the resolution declaring him entitled to seat he was advised by some if his friends to resign, but at that time Mir. Newberry said he would not quit under fire. Minority members of the committee which investigated his election, while insisting that he was not entitled to his seat, agreed with the majority findings that MT. Ford should not be seated.

PLAN MADE TO
 HALT TURKEY
GREECE LEADS MOVE TO FORM COMBINE TO RESIST
 kEMALISTS.
BALKAN STATES UNITE
AMERICAN DELEGATE STATES U. S. POSITION IN NEAR
 EAST AFFAIRS,

Lausanne.-It is learned that Greece probably will oppose vigorously any Turkish proposal at the conference to hold plebiscite in western Thrace to | decide the future of that territory and will combat any claim of Turkey for indemnity or separations growing out of the recent hostilities.
 Negotiations are under way between Greece, Jugo-Slavia and Rumania to defend their common interests in con- nection with the return of the Turks to Europe, under the belief that this may constitute menace to them in the future.
 Opposition to the western Thrace plebiscite is based on the contention that the Lausanne conference was not summoned to revise all past treaties affecting the Balkan territories, but merely to revise the treaty of Sevres
 Greece officially regards the recent war in Asia Minor as a continuation of the great war, in which Turkey, as the ally of Germany, was an ag- gressor, and considers that therefore any Turkish claims for separations are unacceptable and ill founded.
 Greece also will resist Italian de- nunciation of the treaty whereby Italy agreed to cede the Dodecanez islands, in the Mediterranean, to Greece. Advices from Athens show the existence of apprehension there that the alleged Italian demands for greater extension of Italian rights in the Mediterranean may be at the ex- pense of the Greek nation.
 Another source of the greatest anx- iety to the Greeks is the future safety and prosperity of Greek residents of COnstantinople, for which adequate guarantees will be asked at Lausanne
 Ismet Pasha and his associates of the Turkish delegation to the confer ence appear less confident than when they arrived and the feeling is grow ing that they will reduce their pro- gram materially in the hope of restOr- ing peace and re-establishing trade re- lations with the outside world
 It is becoming evident that they are beginning to realize that it was Greece and not the great powers of Europe, which they defeated in their recent successful campaign about Smyrna.
 The United States played a brief part in the Near Eastern peace con- ference, Richard Washburn Child, American ambassador to Italy, mak- ing a declaration before the assem- bled delegates of the position of the official observers representing Amer ica.
 American participation in the con- ference will consist of joining in the and safeguarding as far as possible rights which the United States feels must be protected in the interest of America and the rest of the world. The American observers will not vote or act as members of any of the commissions.

DEFIANT
 AT LAUSANNE
OTTOMAN DELEGATE TO PRESS DEMANDS ON THREE
 MAIN POINTS.
PEACE FARLEY OPENS
WORLD PEACE HANGS ON OUT. COME OF PRESENT
 CONFERENCE.

Lausanne.-Hope that peace on earth would result from the labors of the Near Eastern conference was voiced by the speakers at the brief opening session here.
 | This sentiment was voiced first by President Haab of the Swiss confed- eration, who presided over the opening plenary meeting, and 1t was dwelt up on by both Lord CurZon and lsmet Pasha in their responses on behalf of the numerous delegations assembled in the Lausanne casino, where the i'm pressive inaugural ceremony was held.
 Richard Washburn Child, American ambassador to Italy, and Joseph c. Grew, minister to Switzerland, the two principal American representatives, were seated prominently in the front row of the auditorium beside Premier FofHcare of France. and received a warm welcome from the delegation from other lands.
 The prospects of American activity in the conference, which many of the foreigners appeared to interpret as the launching of a new American policy in Europe and the presence of strong delegation from Japan, gave worldwide significance to the con- clave.
 Lord Curzon wanted Lausanne to make "a final peace of all." He pledged England's whole souled sup port in this cause.
 Benito Mussolini, the new strong man of Italy, with his air of alert de- termination, drew all eyes as he moved to his place not far from Veni- zelos, whose activities and popularity forced the abdication of Grecian king.
 Venizelos sat inscrutable under the accusations of the chief Turkish plen- ipotentiary, Ismet Pasha, that the Greek army, without justification, had systematically devastated the Turkish countryside and made a million innO- cent Turks homeless, hungry wander CTS.
 Paris.-Ismet Pasha, chief Turkish delegate at the Lausanne peace confer ence, has again been instructed by the Angora assembly positively not to yield on the question of capitulations, according to authoritative information reaching Paris.
 These instructions, it is said, were sent in view of the probability that one of the biggest battles of the con- ference will be fought over this point, the Turks insisting that foreigners be amenable to the Turkish laws and courts, and the other nations declar ing that thei- nationals be accorded extra territorial rights.
 Even before Smyrna was retaken from the Greeks, the nationalists put capitulations first, Smyrna second and ConstantinOple third.
