"The activities Of men like Lloyd re-

Retained Last Summer

Samuel Untermyer, Il was an

By the heirs Of the late Abdul Hamid,
Sultan Of Turkey. 70 represent them
In a controversy over agricultural and
mineral lands In the Far East. which
Is now before the Lausanne conference.
Mr. Untermyer will send as his own
representative to the conference bis
son, Irwin, who sails on the Olympic

Mr. Untermyer was retained while
in Europe last summer by Captain John
Godolphin Bennett, formerly military
attache Of the British Embassy at Con-
stantinople and a friend Of the sons
and daughters Of the Sultan.
Royalty vs.. Standard Oil
Twenty-Five Turkish princes and
priucesses on the one hand and the
Standard Oil Company on the other
are fighting for the possession Of the
property, which is said to be worth
many billions Of dollars. Abdul
Hamid's heirs are supported by the
Turkish government. In commenting
upon the property fight last night. Mr..
Untermyer said:
!. when was in Europe last summer
Captain Bennett and Colonel Edwards,
representing the Turkish interests, re-
tanned me TO act for those interests.
Nv son, Irwin Untermyer. will leave
for Lausanne for that purpose. ! am
told that the Standard Oil Company,
which is actively cunning In the Meso-
potamia oil fields after its most ap-
proved gumshoe fashion with the help
Of our State Department has been cir
culatinc rumors relative to one John
w. DeKay, whose name has appeared
I in DISPATCHES from Lausanne in con-
nection with the Mesopotamia fields.
| This is. | understand. a part Of the
Standard Oils propaganda.
There is nothing new about these
methods Of theirs. They have long
I been familiar 70 US. The surprising
/ thing is that our government should
/ have allowed itself TO become inveigled
/ into putting its great prestige behind
the Standard Oil Company in order to
I help il wrest these great oilheldS from
the owners, the Turkish heirs TO whom
they have always belonged and who
have for many years been paying the
/ taxes and carrying charges upon them.
81 am convinced that when our dis
tinguished Secretary Of State Is made
aware of the uses 70 which the Stand
ard oil Company Is now seeking 20
put our government, this whole scheme
Of the Standard Oil Company will col
lapse"
The Mesopotamia oilhelds, which, ae-
cording 70 the statement, Constitute
the bone Of contention in the Far East
question" are largely on private lands
/ Of the late Sultan. During the reign
Of Abdul Hamid he invested millions
