 England Without News.
 London. Nov. 10 tBy Associated Press) No one in England seems to know whether the situation in Con stantinople Is better or worse. The news that has trickled through since the Turks cut the cable near Chanak has been of vague nature and the air is full of disquieting rumors.
 The Daily News has a report that the Angora government has asked the soviet government at Moscow whether the Russian bolsheviks will adhere to the Russo Turkish military agreement in the event of war" This report said Moscow had replied at- tlrmatively but the correspondent who filed the dispatch understood that such adherence would not take the form of lending troops to the Turks as the soviet fear that this would af feet Russia's individual interests with other nations

 Everyone seems to be simply wait ing to see what reply the Angora will make to the demand of the allies, that the Turkish nation slists comply with the Mudros and Mudania conventions. Upon this re- ply hinges the question of whether Inc allied commissioners will declare martial law in the Constantinople area. EYE
 The various powers have not yet agreed on what to do about getting the Near East peace conference at Lausanne started.
 Russias Stand.
 
 The text of Russia's reply to the invitation of the allies for the soviet to attend the Lau- same conference merely during the discussion of the straits has been re- ,eived here. It reiterates the views expressed by Foreign Minister Tchit- ,herin in his note of October 20. con- ending that the exclusion of Russia rom the whole conference proves he allies have decided to deprive Turkey of the fruits of her victories. The reply proclaims the soviet govern nent is in effect sort of protector if Asiatic nations and insists that he Moscow government and the gov of the Ukraine and of seoreia should be given full partici- ,ation at Lausanne. |,
