Demand For Adrianople and Eastern Part of Thrace Is Denied in Treaty Revision
Turkey Retains Constanti- nople and also keeps Hold on Armenia, Under It's Terms.

Paris. March 27.-(By the Associat- ed Press) )-Turkey has conceded all her claims except those 10 Adrianople and part of eastern Thrace. in the memorandum which the allied foreign ministers today forwarded Athens Angora and Constantinope with a view to it's acceptance as prelimin- ary peace settlement, revising the treaty of Sevres.
 The Enos-Mid line in Thrace is modified so as to give Turkey more territory on the Bulgarian frontier but the old Turkish capital of Adrian ople is excluded. .-..
 Loses Gallipoli
 Constantinople remains Turkeys. and she retains Armenia, with the population under league of nations protection. but she loses the Gallipoli peninsula and Mesopotamia.
 The foreign ministers give the Greek and Turkish belligerents three weeks in which to reply to the pro- posed terms.
 The Armenian Problem
 Dealing with Armenia the docu- ment says:
 The situation of the Armenians has received special consideration as much on account of the obligation contracted by the allied powers dur ing the war as on account of the cruel suffering endured by that people Consequently the aid of the League of Nations is sought, in addition to the provisions made for the protection of minorities with a view to satisfying the traditional aspirations of the Ar menian people and the establishment of a national home for them"
 The document does not mention any particular territory where the nation- al home may eventually be fixed, but it specifics that the territory now in- habited by the Armenians shall be under Turkish sovereignty.
 The Dardanelles
 With regard to the Dardanelles the communication read
 The Turks are allowed again on the Asiatic shore of the Dardanelles but the interests of peace and security for the future require that Europe
 
 perils and sacrifices imp osed upon in 1914 by closing of the Dardanelles and the condition for the return of the Turks to the proximity of the straits dS the establishment of a wide demilitarized zone, making any mli- tary projects in that region impossi- be."
 Difficult Problem.
 The foreign ministers found eastern Thrace their most difficult problem, they state. They finally decided on a line running from Ganos on the Sea of Marmora, to the Bulgarian frontier in the region of the lstriania mountains, leaving Rodosto Greek town to Turkey and Kirk-Kilisseh a Turkish town, to Greece.
 The southern end of this line is more favorable to the Greeks than that laid down by the treaty of Sevres. but the northern end of the line considerably favors Turkey, giv- ing her the entire region of the east ern Istranii mountains.
 The ministers found Adrianople and Smyrna in much the same involved position with great difficulty in de taching either from the surrounding territory. They therefore decided to give Adrianope 10 the Greeks de pending upon them to supply ample guarantees for tho safeguarding of the Turkish population. in exchange for similar guarantees by the Turks with reference to the Greeks in smyrna.
 Cut Turkish Army. The foreign ministers demand the suppression of obligatory military service in Turkey and the restriction of the army to 45,oOo and the police to 10000, regular troops. The financial clauses of the treaty of Sevres are somewhat notified by the commission on debt is maintained | and a committee on liquidations is | appointed to assure the payment of ] the Turkish pre-war debt and fix the indemnity due the allies for war damages. Another commission is rec commended to modify the capitulations system.
