Fire Damages

OF Cary & TurcOtte

flre winch was discovered about
1870 Sunday morning In the shoe re-
pairing shop Of Cary g. Turcotte at
AS Water street. caused some dam
age to the shop and to the stock OF
repair materials, which, however,
will be covered by Insurance.
The fire which is believed to have
originated in the back part of the
shop from a short circuit in the
electric wiring. burned in the leather
dust Of the shop and worked up
through the partition of the shop to
the next floor where it caught in a
pile of stems from the tobacco
plants which had been used by John
U. O'Brien in the manufacture Of
cigars. The flame was not much in
evidence. but the resulting smoke
greatly hampered the firemen, who
were made i'll by the pungent to-
bacco fumes.
The large chemicals from the
trucks were used and the flames were
quickly subdued, but the leather
scraps continued to shoulder so
that it was necessary to leave a man
at the shop for the balance of the
night.
The fire was discovered by Ernest
Cote. who runs the taxi service with
an Office next dor to the repair shop.
Mr.. Cote came out of the Office and
saw the building next door wreathed
in smoke. He quickly called the fire
station and the chemical combina-
ton truck came to the scene of the
fire. Chief Small Immediately sent
in a call for the rest of the depart
ment from Box 81. and the truck
from across the river and the hook
and ladder from the Hartford sta
ton were quickly at the scene of the
trouble.
AS the shoes which were to be re-
paired We're in the front Of the shop
and the fire originated in the rear of
it, there was little damage to the
shoes. the larger part of the damage
being on the stock of rubber heels
and other repair parts which were
stored there.

Harding Backs
Child's Demand
For Open Door

Washington, Nov 25-(By A. P)
Ambassador Child's exposition at
the Lausanne conference today of
the American open door policy as
applying to Turkey, accords with the
position consistently maintained by
the Washington government. While
official comment was lacking pend
ing formal advices, there els warrant
for the statement that Mr.. Chil.'s
presentation has the full approval
of the government.
1t is noted here that in addition to
reading the brief expression of the
open door policy contained in the re-
cent American memorandum to the
allied powers, Mr.. Child declared it
to be the American conception that
universal adherence to that policy
would go far toward promoting world
peace. In so doing, the ambassador
expressed. it can be said on authority,
the idea that has been uppermost in
the minds of government officials here
III their approach to the Mosopota-
mia oil question, the adjustment of
far eastern problems at the Washing
ton conference. and similar diplo-
matte exchanges.
Trpartite Agreement
1t was largely that feeling which
dictated the reference by Secretary
Hughes. in his memorandum to the
allies on the near eastern crisis, to
the tripartite agreement of 1920 as
typical of secret treaties and agree
ments prescribing zones of special
commercial and economic influence"
which are held by the United States
to be not "consonant with the prin-
ciple of the equality of economic
opportunity'
There can be no question that the
Washington government views the
present situation in the near, east
with its threat against world peace
as a natural outgrowth of the COM
mercial and economic rivalry among
European powers that has kept the
region in a ferment for years. The
American solution would be to do
away entirely with special CONNER
cial rights in Turkish territory.
The history of near eastern settle
ments" holds slight hope, however,
that such result will flow immedi-
ately from the Lausanne gathering.
The Washington government must
therefore be prepared to deal with
the question to be raised later by
whatever special rights in Turkey
any power may have under the peace
treaty that is being negotiated. Am

Deny Clemenceau's
Talk on Scapa Flow

Washington. Nov. 25-By A. 70
The British embassy. in formal
statement today, took exception to
the recent declaration of foremer
premier Clemenceau of France that
Great Britain had secured a guar
antee" of national safety by letting
the surrendered German fleet sink
in Scapa Flow.
The statement follows:
M. Clemenceau is reported in the
press as having stated in 4 speech on
Nov 81, at the Metropolitan Opera
house in New York. that Great
Britain let it (the German tieet 80
to the bottom Of Scapa Flow and
thus secured her guarantee.
"The British embassy is author
lied to declare that any suggestion
that the British government wilfully
allowed the German feet to be sunk
at Scapa Flow is not only untrue. but
without any possible foundation in
fact
"By the terms of the armistice, in
tie negotiations for which France
was one of the principals, the British
authorities were not permitted TO
place any guard on board the Ger
man vessels and they were therefore
unable to take any measures to pre-
Vent the German crews opening the
powers were confined to ensuing
seacocks. The British authorities
that the fleet did not steam out TO sea
or open fire.
"A statement in the above terms
was issued by the British govern
yaent on June 81. 1919, 4 few EourS
after the German feet had been
sunk"
New Haven, Conn, Nov. BIB A
Recommending on the British en-
t,;,ssy's statement concerning the
sinking of the German fleet at Scap2
Flow, Georges Clemenceau said to-
night that he had not charged Great
Britain with "wilfully" permitting the
yarships to be sunk.
"The German ships We're turned
ever to the control Of the British, and
ne German crews sank them he
said.
He declined to amnlify further the
statement he made ii his Metropoli
tan Opera house address.

there is any truth in this allegation"
The embassy's statment follows:
THE attention of the British en-
bassy has been called to articles
printed in today's issue of certain
organs of the Hearst press, which
seek to convey the impression that
the British government is carving
on a propaganda for the purpose of
influencing the decision of the Ameri-
can Congress and people with regard
to measures under discussion relat-
ing to the American merchant mar
Inc. The embassy denies emphatically
that there is any truth in this allie
CATION.
Amongst the articles printed by
the Washington Times Herald there
is included what purports to be an
affidavit, said to have been made by
certain Matthew Quay Chaser, de-
scribed as vice editor and vice presi-
dent of a publication called the Ma
sonic Review, who appears to claim
that an offer was made to him on
behalf of the British embassy en-
volving the publication of a series
OF paid articles against the passage
of the ship subsidy measure. 1t is not
true that any such offer was ever
made on behalf of the British en-
bassy or with the knowledge of any
British government official.
mo member of the British en-
bassy staff has any acquaintance
whatever with the individual describ-
ing himself as Matthew Quay Chaser.
On Friday morning last, about 9
o'clock. two men appeared in the
nelghborhoOd of the eInbas~,,-, wait

that they were acquainted with Mr.

to the embassy. Mr. Lawrence had

bassador Child was seeking to make
this plain in his statement to the
conferees today.
The United States has specifically
disclaimed any desire for special
treatment in the near east. On the
contrary, the chief desire Of the
Washington government in cOnnec-
ton with the Lausanne proceedings
is known to be that the Christian
countries should stand united to
maintain in substance the capitula-
tions in Turkey which protect the
nationals of Christian states who
might otherwise be subject to Mos
lem laws and customs.
But the possibility must be faced
by the American observers that other
states which enjoy or seek to obtain
special commercial consideration in
Turkish territory might be willing to
forego certain of their rights under
the capitulations in lieu of CONNER
cial concessions which could be of no
value to American nationals. Such
action, ratified by the forthcoming
Lausanne treaty. to which the United
y
make the subsequent negotiation OF
a satisfactory treaty Of amty with
Turkey more difficult fol the WASH
ington government.
That the United States would be
willing to surrender any of the rath-
er narrow rights it's nationals have
in Turkey under treaty or the wider
exemptions they enjoy under the
capitulations through "most favored
nation" status, at least until there
has been in fact a complete reform
and revision of the Turkish judicial
system, is highly improbaWe. There
can be no question. however. that
Ambassador Child. in emphasizing
the open door attitude of his gov
eminent. was looking ahead to con-
ference discussion of the capitula-
tons and other problems and the
effect the boundary settlements are
likely to have on those matters.
