Ismet Announces
Turkey Is Ready
to Enter League
Lausanne Delegate Says Action
Will BE Taken as Soon
as Peace Treaty Is
Signed.

Lausanne, Dec. 1i.--(EY a. P.l--
Turkey Will join the league OF pa-
tions as soon as peace iS signed at
Lausanne. Ismet Pasha announced at
the near east conference today.
As the league exercises general tu.
/ peryision over minority popula tions,
1smets announcement was interpreted
as meaning that Turkey will accept
! the league s. supervision over the
Christian people of Turkey.
Turkey accepts in principle the ap-
plication TO the national minorities in
! her territory of the clauses on this
subject inserted in the Austrian. Bul-
garian and other peace treaties, 1snlet
Pa slaa declared and also the granting
of amnesty TO the members Of these
minorities
Ismet said Turkey was ready 10
accord the same treatment to ninori-
ties as provided in the treaties eY-
changed between the various Euro
pean countries.
Accept General Amnesty.
This, Ismet declared, was not be-
cause of the menacing words yester-
day OF Lord Curzon. the British for
eign secretary. but because the Turk
Isl, national pact required it.
lsmet said Turkey accepted the
granting of general amnesty to po-
ltical prisoners. Il would decline,
however, to establish a national home
for Arnlenans.
Ambassador Child frank talk with
Ismet Pasha yesterday on the subject
CT minorities residing in Turkey made
good impression in Turkish circles
and exercised a calming influence on
the entire Lausanne conference, which
nervously saw dangers Of a break
down of all negotiations because Of
the threatened rupture over the treat
ment of the Greeks and Armenians
by Turkey.
The friendly intervention Of the
American ambassador at the right
moment has convinced the Turks Of
the immense strength of the world
opinjon-particula that of the Unit
ed States-ou the need for a settle
nent OF the minority problem.
Urged to Reconsider.
! Ambassador Child urged 1smct to
reconsider his position as tho Arnle-
mans and other dislodged populations,
stating Americans desired to know
that their gifts would help the refu.
gees in Asia Minor TO settle in per-
manent homes.
Turkish spokesmen believe that the
American representative at the con-
ference was the natural arbitrator Of
this vexing problem. They contend
that Turkey desires to do the right
thing. but adds that any measure de-
signed to satisfy world opinion must
not violate Turkeys sovereign rights
or force her TO grant exceptional priv
ileges to people within her borders
whom she cannot assimilate.

Bring Their Forces Up to
Full Strength.
SOME STRIKERS RETURN

Deny Weakening.
SOME STRIKERS RETURN

AS a result of their refusal to re-
store the seniority rights of strikers
the railroads were besieged by job
hunters yesterday. among whom. Of
ficials said. were former employees
eager to return to work before all the
jobs are gone.
This was denied by local strike
leaders, who said there were no break
Ing ranks in the union lines. One
added:
These men applying now didn't
have the nerve TO be strike breakers
at the beginning. They waited until
they thought some one else had taken
all the bumps. The roads won't get
much of n days work out OF such
safety first fellows"
The New York Central announced that
more applications for shop jobs had been
received yesterday than In the previous
ten days together. This applied not
only to New York but TO Buffalo. Cleve-
land. Cincinnati. Chicago. Detroit and
other division points Employment agen-
cies serving the railroads reported the
biggest rush since the strike began on
July 1. Many of the new men said they
had held off until they were sure OF
permanent employment.
f. NJ. Rine. vice-president and general
manager OF the Lackawanna Railroad.
said the labor situation had shown an
immediate response to the decision OF
the railroad presidents TO reject Presi-
dent Harding's compromise and protect
their new men. A number Of strikers
reported back to work. he declared.
The Lehigh Valley and the Central
Railroad Of New Jersey also reported
gains. Charles II. Stein. general man
ager OF the Jersey Central. said the
strikers were returning-''malnly those
who had been afraid to come back be-
fore. but saw the light breaking now"
The Erie issued equally confident re-
ports. John @. walber. speaking for all
the Eastern roads. said tho drift back
had been expected and the railroads
were determined 70 recruit their shop
forces to full strength as soon as pos
sibie.
Cen. w. w. Atterbury, vice-prcsident
OF the Pennsylvania lines. posted the
following notice on all employee bulle-
tin boards:
TO the employees Of the Pennsyl-
vania 81 tenn, the old men who have re-
mained loyal and to the new men who
have entered our service and who
Jointly have enabled the railroad and
It's officers to perform It's duty in a full
and efficient manner:
II give YOU my personal assurance
that my obligation 10 you under our
agreements viii be fully carried out.
Those agreements fully protect the
old and new men in their seniority and
the terms OF tho agreement cannot be
changed except by mutual consent"
Unless President Harding "defes the
railroads" the strikers predicted n gem
eral walkout of all the brotherhoods.
In the opinion Of Wall Street yester-
day the railroads have won the strike.
The rejection Of Hardlng's terms was
accepted az virtual victory. Tho rail-
way executives stand on the seniority
question was generally approved.

BREWSTER PASSES SACKS
Kansas City Man Is Leading
in the. Contest for Repub-
lican Nomination.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2 (Associated Press).
Senator James A. Reed is leading
Breckenridge Long for the Democratic
nomination for United States Senator
by 1895 votes. on the face of returns
from all but sos of the 3,S4S precincts
In Missouri.
Returns from 3,4o5 precincts at 10
O'Clock tonight give Reed 1880
Long 176.445.
The Senator's lead, which reached
more than $4,000 this morning. was
steadily whitfield away as belated re-
turns from rural districts. where the
Long strength lay, came in. Through
out the day Mr.. Long maintained q
consistent gain with an average lead
of approximately Is votes per pre-
cinct in the country districts
If this ratio is maintained in the SOS
precincts yet to be heard from Mr.
Long has a chance of winning, prob
ably by less than 1000 votes.
r. r. Brewster of Kansas City took
the lead in the Republican Senatorial.
race: 1857 precincts out of 3,s4s In
the State gave Brewster 66,376, VIII.
lam Sacks of st. Louis 62,0S1.
Practically all of the remaining pre-
cincts to be heard from are In coun-
ties other than Jackson (Kansas city,
and st Louis. The rural districts have
shown exceptional strength for Brew
ster.
Sacks's strength has been practicarfy
nil in the country districts, and on the
basis OF these figures friends of Brew
ster believe he will win by from $1,000
to $4,000.
Four other candidates in the Repubii-
can race are not within shooting dis
tance OF the goal. Three Progressives
split more than 10000 votes among
of staff OF the Seventh Army Corps. or
ganized reserves of Jefferson barracks
is far in the rear. The vote: Attorney
General Jesse Barrett, 29.26l; David M
Proctor. 21.12e: John c. Mckinley. 20,-
o19. and Parker, 10,053.
The outcome OF the ReedLong race
probably will not be known until the
complete vote has been tabulated. Scat.
tered precincts in many counties are
included in the 500 missing. along with
the entire vote Of Ozark and Stone, two
isolated communities In the Ozark
Mountains. far down in the southwest
ern corner Of the State.
On the basis or the returns already
received Reeds lead in the Kansas City
and St. Louis precincts may not be suf-
ficient to win, IL Mr.. Long maintains his
present ratio in the country districts.
An analysis OF the returns shows that
the present ratio. IL maintained through
out the missing precincts. would give
Long a plurality of approximately 1000.
In such a close race, however. a change
or two and a half votes TO the precinct
in favor OF Reed would change the re-
suit.
Sacks polled tremendous vote in st.
Louis, his home city, but as the rural
districts came in Brewster began climb
ing, and with 2.367 precincts reporting
the vote stands Brewster, 66.376: Sacks.

Britain May Cancel Debts
Except Sum Owed to U. S.

D ARIS. Aug. 2 (Associated
Press) The Balfour note. it
was said in well informed
quarters tonight, would probably
not affect the fundamental princi-
pie of the cancellation of the
French debt nor the proposed re-
duction in the German indemnity.
1t Is regarded here as probable that
Great Britain will offer to cancel
all debts due that country from
France and other countries. with
the exception of the sum of $780,
100000, the amount she owes the
United States. This figure would
be collected from Germany or from
the European States If and when
America demands full payment.
The note may, however, cause
France to refuse to consent to a
moratorium for Germany and de-
crease Berlin's chances for an in
ternational loan.
