Two Treaties to
Come as Result
Lausanne Meet

Lausanne, Nov. 23.-(By A. P.)-
Two treaties will probably grow out Of
the Lausanne Near East conference,
if 1t has successful outcome. One
will be treaty between Turkey and
Greece settling their boundaries and
adjusting the problems which have
arisen directly out of their conflict at
arms: the other will probably be the
revamped and revised treaty Of Sevres,
designed to put Turkey at peace with
all the Allied powers which were at
arms against Turkey in the Great War.
The latter treaty will doubtless con-
tain provisions for the regulation CT
the Turkish straits and it is likely
that the Russians will participate in
framing it.
Thrace occupied the attention of the
conference until late tonight and will
again be under discussion tomorrow.
