Allies to Block
Turks Plan to

fications or military organizations,
! however, are to be allowed commanding
either the Dardanelles or tlie Bos-
porus, and the right to suspend the
freedom OF the Dardanelles in case
Turkey became involved in hostilities
would depend greatly on the sort of
navy possessed by the Turkish OPP
ponent. This is, of course, a restric-

tion of military control Of the Straits

here tonight.
To Form Three Commissions
Quite the most important task that
Will come before the commission to-
morrow will be the formation of three
commissions to handle the categories
Of questions that will come before the
gathering. The most important of
these, the commission thut will deal
with territorial questions, will be un-
der British craftsmanship, it was
learned
With the Allied decision at the pri-
vate conversation held to-day that tho
future Turkish boundaries must be
held to the lines stipulated in the last
Allied note In regard to Thrace, the
first great difficulty of the conference
is probable to arise here. For the in
structions to Rafet Pasha from An
CORA are to hold as not debatable the
question of separating the city of
Adrianople from its surroundings
across the Martha River. According
to the Allies, the latter territory must
continue TO be Greek. The Allies also
are agreed that the Turkish frontier
in Asia must remain as it was accord
ing to the now defunct Treaty of
Sevres, with the exception of that
section of Smyrna evacuated by the
French through their subsequent treaty
with the Turkish nationalists. This
the villayet of Mosul, and the Turk
ish claim to Mosul and it's oil lands is
a determined one.
The second commission, to be ap-
pointed tomorrow, is that which will
take up judicial questions, such as the
protection of minorities and the status
of foreigners. This body will be under
Italian Craftsmanship. 1t is understood
that the Allies are prepared to agree
TO Turkeys right to demand that all
foreigners abide by Turkish laws af-
fecting religious sects, which hereto
fore, under the regime of the Sultan,
have enjoyed certain immunities.
Mixed ribunals--part Turkish, part
foreign, that is-will still, however, be
demanded at the trials Of foreigners
in cases of certain kinds.
Turks Have Another Protest
The third commission will be under
French Craftsmanship and will deal
with economic and financial questions
1t is understood that the Turks arc
ready to protest the Allied domination
of the conference, not only in this
matter of the chairmanship of com
mittees, but in their makeup. What
will happen in this connection, though,
remains to be seen.
The harmonious tenor of the Allied
private meeting to-day was INTERRUPTED
by at least one embarrassing inciden,
when Premier Poincare handed the
Italian Premier telegram from the
French Consul at Vintimiglia, a town
on the Franco-Italian frontier, where
group Of Fascist to-day indulged in
a violent demonstration in front of the
French consulate, shouting, Down
with France-the Italian frontier must
extend to the Var!" The Var is
Small river west of Nice that flows
within the territory Franco gained ut
the expense of Italy in the war Of
1850, under Napoleon III.
Musolini was visibly embarrassed
when Premier Poincare said that he
hoped that the reports of this Fascist
demonstration at Vintimiglia would be
found exaggerated. The Fascist chief
tain promised an investigation. Pre-
mler Polncare later ordered Ambassa-
