This virtual ultimatum was com.

who are considering 1t.
Curzon declared It was impossible
for the allies to accept either the
Russian or Turkish counter pro
posals for settlement OF the straits
problem. Hence. he said, II was
imperative that the Russians and
Turks give their final answer on
the allied project.
Foreign Minister Tchitcherin de-
livered long speech against the
allied project, but Ismet Pasha, the
Turk envoy, asked more time. Cur

homes during occupation OF Constan-
tinople," the Turks declared in a
memorandum to the minorities COM
mission.
The troops entered hundreds OF
homes, tearing former Christian
wives and their children from arms
of their husbands and against their
will returned the women to their
Armenian domiciles, the memoran-
dun declared. Stories that Christian
women were forced into Turkish
harems were characterized as leg
endary" When the modern Turk
marries a Christian woman the mar
rlage is voluntary on her part and
she accepts the religion of the hus-
band in consequence, 1t was as

The Turkish delegates declared
hundreds of babies and older chill

Cry The United Press,

Drumright, Okla, Dec. 1g.--In-
junction proceedings were expected
to be started today against Mayor
w. Il. Nicodemus here to prevent
him from tapping the gas lines of
the Oklahoma Natural Gas company
to supply local demand.
Since Friday night the state of
gas affairs here has been "on again
and off again." with local residents
standing by to see what will happen
next. When the gas is ION" local
homes are warm, and when the com.
pany turns 1t off the town freezes.
Although the town is in the heart
of one OF Oklahoma'' greatest oil
fields, the local gas company has
been unable to supply the towns
needs.
The gas line Of the Oklahoma Nat
ural Gas company was first tapped
by Mayor Nicodemus Friday night,
when he issued proclamation that
public calamity threatened. The
gas was turned off by the company
Sunday. Yesterday Nicodemus' "gas
gang" again tapped the mains and
the company turned 1t off again.
Within three hours after the COM
pany turned the gas off yesterday
it had again been turned on last
night.
Legal action was expected to fol-
low today.
