session for discussion of the Straits.
Whether a rupture will come on the
Straits problem depends chiefly on
whether the entente diplomats and
their experts can remove the Turk
ish fears. This they are trying to
do, tonight.
The diplomats are endeavoring to
convince the Angera statesmen that
the Straits project is essentially framed
and thar the allies are not in any SIMS
ter hidden manner seeking facilities for
war; especially against Turkey. They
say that they have only sought the
equality Of all fleets passing through
the Straits on peaceful errands.
The allies have emphasized that they
could not accept the Turkish request for
the suppression of submarines and
military airplanes: especially they have
been liable TO accept the Ottoman sug-
gestion that combined foreign fleets
entering the Black sea should not ex-
ceed in strength the fleet of the strong
est naval power of the Black sea.
That would make the Black sea
forbidden ground, said French ex-
pert Tuesday night
As the Russians are here only for

Lausanne. They still are in fighting
mood, however. Georges Tchitcherin

In the fourth roand Gibbons shade was not pronounced, and one of the later rounds also was a mar row margin affair.
