Final Stage of Negotiations
Marked by Friendliest Spirit
Greeks Refuse to Sign Pro.

Turkish Generals in Speeches
of Mutual Generalization

Mudania Oct 11.-(By A. P1-Al-
lied and Turkish representatives. sign
ed the Near East armistice at $40 this
morning.
The agreement provides that the
Turks will be permitted a gendarmerie
of 5000 in Thrace and Ismd. They
asked for 10000 but a compromise was
reached on the former figure.
The Thracian boundary as specified
by the agreement is from the mouth
Of Martha, along its course to the Bull
garian boundary. The clause to which
the Greeks object on this subject is
presumably one referring to a small
but important slice Of land along the
railroad near Adrianople.
Definite delimitation for the neutral
zones was decided upon and was in
cluded in the agreement, although
Ismet Pasha opposed the inclusion.
The demarkation follows a line Is XIII
ometres from the coast along the
straits of the Dardanellcs and 40 kilo-
metres from the coast of the Bosphor-
us. 1t is provided that neither the
Allied representatives agreed not to
increase the number of troops nor to
undertake the construction of fortifi-
cations.
The portion of the railroad along
the right bank of the Martha river
from Svilengrad to Kule- Burgas will
be subject to supervision to be deter
mined by a mixed commission Of the
Allies, according to the agreement
This was done, it was said, with a
view to maintaining free passage on
this section of the railroad. which
opens to the region of Adrianople.
The final text Of the agreement had
been approved by II o'clock last eve
ming, but the signing had to be post
poned for several hours because the
Allies had failed to provide sufficient
typcwriters to make the necessary
copies in the various languages with
speed. 1t was at $50 o'clock this
morning before all the copies were

Turks and British
May Differ on Cost
OCCUPATION Troops

London, Oct n.-CBy A. P. )-One
Of the questions on which it is ex-
pected there will be important diff
ferences between the Turks and Brit
ish. is the cost of the British occu-
patton of Constantinople and other
areas in Asia Minor since 1918. The
British have kept careful accounts Ct
the expenditures, which are regard
ed as an ultimate charge against
Turkey. 1t is believed that the bill
will run into a hundred million
pounds sterling, without regard to
what claim might be advanced by
France, which maintained 10000
troops in these regions for a year
and half
1t has long been the contention of
the Kemalists that the charges are
unjust, they claiming that it was pos
sible to give them peace three years
ago
When the first conference assem-
bles. this financial question will be
introduced in connection with the
ottoman public debt. in which
France is a larger sharer. Thus Tar
the arguments of the kemallsts nave
been that Turkey has paid her war
debts by the loss of two-thirds of her
territories. and therefore. should not
be asked to pay more. Likewise, the
kemalists have consistently refused
to print their own money in order
TO preserve the stability of the Turk
ish pound.
The total outstanding Turkish
paper is $50. 100000 Turkish pounds.
At the present exchange one dollar
;s worth approximately one and two
thirds Turkish pounds. Three years
ago Turkey had approximately oo'-
600. 900 gold pounds.

CHIEF
SAYS CURFEW LAW
MUST Be 0bEYED

Portland. Me, Oct. 11.-Chief of
Police Irving s. Watts announced to-
night that starting Nov. 1, the cur
few law will be enforced rigidly in
Portland. This action follows the
recent appearance in court of a large
number of juvenile cases and the
presence on the street late at night
Of children of both sexes, police Off
Gals said.
Chief Watts declared the laxity in
the enforcement of the law in recent
years was because of the daylight
saving movement which made the
curfew hour actually SIS, instead of
0.15.
The city ordinance fixing a curfew
hour provides that children not only
shall be off the streets at 9.15 but
must be out of the theatres unless
accompanied by parent or guardian.
A penalty of $50 for child and parent
is provided after first warning.

Portland. Me, Oct. 11-Careless-
ness is responsible for practically 50
percent of the forest fires in this
State, S. T. Dana. State forest COM
missioner, said here today. This is
largely due to thoughtlessness, in his
opinion, particularly in the throwing
aside by sportsmen of cigarette ends
and pipe heels"
THE average man going into the
woods does not realize how dry
things are. said Commissioner
Dana, and how few sparks it takes
to start fire of lively proportions,
which results in great damage to
timberlands. Even after drench-
ing rain, especially in a clearing. the
slash and other waste soon becomes
dry and a small blaze will spread
rapidly"

His Avocation Is a Rattlesnake Farm

DENVER.-William A. Bevan, cleo A trician at the Lacombe station of the Denver Gas and Electric Light company, conducts snake farm in West Denver as an avocatiOn. Gagged in the back yard are rattlesnakes and copperheads. They are the subjects for experiments being made by two Denver physicians.
 Soon after the snakes arrive at the farm venom is taken from their fangs by forcing them to squirt 1t through a gauge stretched over the top of tum- bier. The sticky mass is then spread on small sheets of glass to dry. Within a few hours 1t changes into brittle vel low crystals and is collected in cap- sules. With the contents of these cap- sules the local doctors are now work ing, hoping to create a market for the venom of the local poisonous reptiles, and thereby save those physicians who pay $500 an ounce for cobra venom in Paris.
 ''The old theory that whisky does any good is all bunk-it only acts on the nervous system and has no neu- tralizing effect whatever" says Bevan.
