Allies Offer Turks
Territory Extension
In Return for Peace
nv FRANK r MASON.
By FRANK E. MASON,
International News Service,

PARIS, Sept. 23.-Freedom Of
the Turkish Straits and extension
of Turkish sovereignty into East
ern Thrace European territory
are two Of the main principles
contained in the collective note
which France, Great Britain and
Italy agreed tonight to send TO
Turkey. This note contains the
formula for the proposed Near
East peace conference.
Great Britain Recedes.
The British are understood to have
agreed to give Adrianople to the
Turks and extend the Turkish fron-
tier 1856 miles northwestward from
ConstantinopIe along the Martha
river.
This would bring the line virtual.
ly to the point 1t occupied prior to
the first Balkan war In 1912, when
the Turkish and Bulgarian boufl.
daries in Thrace Joined ono an.

Chief OF the conditions which the
Angora government must accept
are as follows:
First-The Kemalists must re-
frain from sending troops into the
provisional neutral zones during
the peace negotiations.
Second-The Turkish straits are
to be frcCd or internationalixed and
this freedom Is to be held invio-
latee by the league Of nations.
Third-The Turks must pledge
themselves NOT to cross the Oar
danelles, Sea Of Marmora, or
Bosphorus into Europe during the
negotiations.
Fourth.-Cbristian minorities In
Asia Minor are to be protected.
The Allies. on their side, agree to
withdraw their troops from Constan.

peace treaty IL effective, and to admit
Turkey into the League Of Nations,
so that she will bear a share OF the
responsibility for keeping the Turk.

Russians Left Out.
The most threatening cloud upon
the horizon was the leaving out Of
Both the Russians and Turks had
demanded Russian participation In

Belief is prevalent that the Turks
will accept the conditions. and that
the conference will open somewhere

tions tonight were that the in.

GIANT WAR FRAUDS
CHARGED BY LEGION

$4,000 Horses, One Of
Allegations Made.

The American Legion Weekly,
to be published September 29
makes sensational charges Of fraud
in the purchase and sale Of war
property. Here are some OF The
charges:
"a power plant which cost sl43,-

die mounts, but GAS 900 saddles
were bought, nearly eleven saddles

"a total of 1850 sets Of spur
straps were bought. enough to SUP.
ply every mounted officer with
thirty-six sets.
Altogether our leather program
cost three-quarters Of a billion dol
lars. And one reason why civilian
shoes cost SIS and $50 a pair was
that the army program called for
more leather than America pro-
duced. II is also a reason why
the United States paid an average
OF s7.15 per pair for 32,OO0,000 pairs

Spens pointed out that the Fed.

as to coal produced and sold within

retail or wholesale margins or
handling coal within these States.
Responsibility as TO these fea.
lures must rest with the State au.

a problem of transportation. The
Federal authorities, he said. in CO.
operation with the railroads, are
making every possible effort to ex.

Coal today enjoys the same
priority in transportation as food
and feed" the telegram stated.
Transportation OF coal Is ample TO
meet current necessities, but Is not
sufficient to permit stocking. either
by household or commercial con.
sumers, and possibly will not be
ample for that purpose for another
sixty or ninety days"
Spens said that II appeared neces-
sary that State organizations or
agencies be created in States where
they do not now exist that will in.
vite cooperation and prevent stock

sites and that will establish rea.
sonable margin for retailers and

THE Federal act is nation. wide in
its scope" Spens told the governors,
but we shall depend upon the judg.
ment Of the State authorities in each
State as to whether or not the aid
Of the Federal Government is desired
or necessary as to interstate coal"
Spens called upon the governors
for an early response as to the situa-
tion in each State and the measures
taken or contemplated to meet the
emergency.

WHEN AGIRL MARRIES

couldn't help joining in. Perhaps II
was pique which made me so aax-
tous to do my share OF shining.
Carlotta, leaning forward across
the table in her mermaid's green
and lavender, was a bewithching
looking creature. When she slipped

in clouds of gray smoke from her
own cigarette, she looked Rlluring

very sophisticated young person
with her cigarette, the flamboyant
Carlotta, OF smart plaids and gay
colors, would appeal to Anthony
Norreys as the wistful girl Of the
past months might have done.
And now, children, all aboard
for cozy chat in tho sunparlor
where, II were as new-fangled as
like to think am, we'd have been
served with coffee" cried Carlotta,
gayly sweeping toward the door.
I'd taken II for granted that
Carlotta's departure for the Gus
tom of having our coffee in the
sun-parlor was due to the fact that
she felt 1t would be easy to leave
US when we left the dining room.
Almost of their own volition my
brows went up a fraction Of an
inch. Carlotta laughed consciously
and flung up her hands in an
exotic gesture OF self-reproach, as
she declared:
1--WE Just had a twinge OF con-
science-a signal from my better
self! I've a definite duty tonight,
and we're all such good friends by

sternly to social formalities. SO

There was a burlesque note In
her voice which Jared me unpleas-
antly. Then found my sympathy

AppeHzing
Soups
BY LorettO C. Lynch.


IN VERY housewife, whether
she keeps house on a large
or small scale should keep
half a dozen cans OF prepared soup
on hand for emergencies. One
woman solved the problem Of serv-
ing several vegetables at once to
her family by adding them to
canned soup.
Canned tomato soup has so
many possibilities that II might
be we'll to keep several cans of
this one variety alone on the
pantry shelf. For the can of to-
mato soup that costs about 10
cents, allow one and one-half
cans of water. Mix the water
and concentrated soup and heat
to boiling. Add one level table
spoon of washed rice. After this
has boiled rapidly for ten min
tes add one small potato cut into
cubes, one tablespoon of minced
parsley, one tablespoon Of minced
opion and one of green pepper.
A small carrot cut into tiny
cubes may be added or a little
white turnlp or celery root or
leaves may be used in place of
some of the other vegetables sug-
gested above.
Bits of raw or cooked meat
may be added to the tomato
soup. A little raw lamb or even
a raw lamb bone gives a most
desirable result with canned to-
mato soup.
Canned vegetable soup is i'm
proved by having a raw bone
, or a little meat cooked with It
and a fresh vegetable or two
added.
Boullion cubes greatly improve
plain tomato soup.
Pea soup, likewise, is improved
by adding q boullon cube to IL
after 1t has been diluted with
water.
Cream of vegetable soup, which
is, with crackers or bread, a lunch
con or supper in itself, may be
quickly and successfully made from
concentrated soup. Tomato, pea,
asparagus, bean, celery and many
other concentrated vegetable soups
are ideal as a basis for cream SOUP.
With tomato soup, II is safest to
add pinch of baking soda to the
tomato before combining It with
milk. Instead of adding water to
the concentrated soup as is usual,
a similar quantity of milk is added.
A bit of butter and seasoning TO
taste may be added just before
serving.
Rubbing the cook pot with a
Glove of garlic before cooking the
cream soup in II will give the soup
an elusive flavor. Cooking a single
Glove and a few drops Of onion
juice in the soup will again delight
fully vary the flavor.
1t is well to have soup at the be-
ginning of a meal, as 1t tends to
take the edge off the appetite and
prevents one from over-indulglng
in the more nutritive, more Cxpen-
sive foods that follow.

Rhyming
Optimist
BY Aline Michaelis
Looking for Trouble.

A S Benjamin Beckett arose
IA from his bed, he quoth: Il
am looking for trouble; I've
an ache in my toe and a pain in
my head and I know JOY is only a
bubble. Though I work like a
Turk, my expenses still climb and
my living is frightfully mcagre;
l am long past the time Of my hey
day and prime, when for tasks I
was ready and eager. But I'll tell
all the world that / thirst for a
fight, and I'd try one with Demp-
sey's own double; there's a chip on
my shoulder from morning till
night and 1 go about looking for
trouble" Then Benjamin Beckett
stepped out on a tack, and he
howled till he reused all the neigh
bors; next, he slipped in the bath
tub and twisted his back as a start
for the busy days labors. At
breakfast he said that the sausage
was tough, the cereal awfully pur.
and the eggs the maid served him
were not doneFenough, so he found
lots of reasons to glover. On his
way to his office a swift auto-truck
sent our hero ker-flap in the gut
ter, where he raved quite a bit on
the subject of luck, though his
rage made him stammer and slut
ter. He was looking for trouble
and did 1t appear? Yes, misfortune
would not disappoint MIN. so a
telephone pole fell across his left
ear and six doctors now dose and
anoint him. They converse by the
hour on Benjamin's case, making
casts for his lungs and his liver,
and they've fixed up a mask for
the poor fellows face, so 1t won't
make the onlookers shiver. It's a
rule that can't fail, anybody con
see he can get his full measure
and double, II he cuts out all mirth-
fulness, gladness and glee ana just
goes about looking for trouble.
I'VE have one began
uncertainty, but he went right
ahead:
