Lausanne, Nov. 13.-The delegates
of the Turkish nationalist government
have come to Lausanne as victors and
their mood is wholly different than
that of the crushed representatives of
the sultan who begged for mercy
when the treaty of CeVres was draft
ed three years ago.
Their leader ISmet PaSha, boasts of
support from the Russian soviets and
alludes to the uncertainty which new
governments in England and Italy
have given to the solidarity of the
entente
Mustapha KemaI Pasha certainly
seems well entrenched in Europe to-
day. His delegates to the Lausanne
conference are confident of being
granted their demands that Turkey
shall be relieved of the capitulations
which are extra territorial rights
granted to foreigners in Turkey. They
are also firm and confident in be1iev-
ing full sovereign rights will accrue
to their government thru the confer
ence.
Want to Regain Territory.
Having beaten the Greeks at arms,
the Turks apparently are determined
to recover practically all the Eu-
ropean territory wrested from them
The Turkish delegation is out
spoken in its criticism of the post
ponement of the conference here.
Apparently eager to embarrass the

Turkish group is insistent in urging
a quick start of the discussion which
were to have begun today.
Clash With Citizens.
London, Nov. 13.-CIashes in which
British citizens were beaten up by
Turks were reported from Constanti-
nople today. Gen. Sir Charles Har-
rington. British commander-in-chfef at
Constantinople, has ordered the with
drawal of the disorderly Kernalist
forces that caused the trouble.
The situation at Constantinople con-
tinues acute. Panic was reported
among part of the population with
many civilians in flight.
Altho the allied high commissioners
have drawn W a proclamation of mar
tial law. it had not been put into ef-
feet at late reports.
Reports Are Conflicting.
Owing to the cutting of the Near
East cable and the censorship, many
conflicting reports are being received
from the Near East One was that
Rafael Pasha, nationalist envoy at
Constantinople, had refused to recoz-
nize the allies administration and was
overriding the apitulations-the re-
strictionS placed upon the Turks at
the end of the war. The reports, how
ever, said that the situation in Turkey
was more favorable.
General Harrington has refused to
recognize the Turkish nationalist
governor of Chanak, appointed by the
Angora government.
ParIcy Is Postponed.
The Near East peace conference
was to have opened today at Lausanne,
Switzerland, and the Turkish ENJOYS
have arrived thee. Owing to
the new dangerous situation which
already have arrived there. Owing to
allies have agreed that the parley
should be continued until next Mon
day and perhaps longer.
