Leaves for Paris

were made by the Angora govern
ment of Mustapha Renal today as
French and British diplomats sought
to agree upon united front at the
Lausanne peace conference, now def,
initely set for November 20.
Turk ENJOYS at Lausanne declared
they would abandon the parley Ell.
tirely If the allies, at a preliminary
meeting, formulated peace terms en-
bloc and tried to force these upon
Turkey.
Britain and France, still at odds
over the allied attitude at the forth
coming conference, had planned to
hold a council Of foreign ministers
including Italy.
The Turks have put the shoe en-
the other foot, announcing the a.
lies must accept their terms or
there will be no conference.
At the same time Near East relief
dispatches told of an order that has
gone out from Angora, commanding
all of the million Christians in Ana
tolia to evacuate within 80 days.
Mindful of what happened at ex.
piration of the last Turkish Ultima
tum of this sort, 10000 Christians
are fleeing in panic from Anatoiia,
choking the roads in their flight.
TWO FRENCH 0ONSULS ARE
EXPELLED BY NATIONALISTS
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 15.-
The French consuls at Mersina and
Adana, in Asia Minor, have been ex-
PEELED by the Kemalists. They ar
rived here Monday. They were ap-
pointed under the Bouillon pact to
insure protection of Christian minor
tiles.
The French consul at Brusa was
expelled week ago, but another
consular official is returning to that
city accompanied by a Turkish ma
tionalist officer to supervise the re-
moval of thirty French residents.
A number of leading French mer-
chants in Constantinople met at the
French embassy Sunday and drafted
a strong memorial to their govern
ment, declaring the French economic
interests are threatened with ruin
if the Turks are allowed to continue
their present policy unchecked.
From Kharput come reports that
the Kemalists are calling all men
liable to military service and sending
them to Mosul.
LAUSANNE DISAPPOINTED
IN APPEARANCE OF TURKS
LAUSANNE, Nov. 15.-By the
Associated Press.)-As a spectacle
the Turkish delegation to the peace
conference has been a keen disap-
pointment to the people of Lausanne.
Not a single member of the delega-
ton wears the red fez. Most of the
delegates have even laid aside their
astrakhan caps and are so conven-
eionally dressed in derbies and Euro
pean overcoats and suits that the
curious Swiss are unable to distin-
guish the Turks from other guests
at the Palace hotel.
The only Oriental touch about the
Turkish party today was provided
by several Turkish newspapermen
attending the conference. They still
wear bright fezes. Several Of the
Turkish delegates are read-haired
and so unlike the stage Turk that
curious observers never suspect them
of being with the Angora delegation.
/ Ria Nur Bey, the second mem
Der of the delegation, and we'll
known physician, has light hair and
blue eyes.
Ismet Pasha, the Turkish nation
alist foreign minister, stated positive
ly in a conversation with the AS.
ISOLATED Press correspondent that
the entente is recognizing the An
CORA delegation as the sole represen,
lies will not receive any delegation
from the Sultan or his CONSTANT
tatives of Turkish interests. The al
NOBLE government should such group
come to Lausanne.
Ismet Pasha, head of the Turkish
Nationalist delegation here, has de-
cided to accept the invitation to visit
= Paris before the opening of the con
ference, it was announced today. He
will be accompanied by Ferid Bey
Nationalist representative at the
French capital, who came here from
Paris yesterday.
Ismet, it is stated, expects to
spend only Wednesday at Paris, re
turning to Lausanne Thursday.
