to create the greatest disorder, how
ever, according to advices from Near
East Relief officials. The greater part
OF the Christian population is re-
ported to be in panicky flight, with
erary road choked with men. women
and children, who have fed their homes
and farms In an effort to get away
before the stipulated time limit ex-
pires. They are trooping toward the
Mediterranean and Black seas in i'm
mense confusion, dispatches say. car
rying what they can in their hands.
Rains have now set In and are respon-
sib2e for much sickness and many
deaths. The Christian population
affected by the Ecmalist order num-
bers more than million.
To effect the evacuation OF any such
number OF people is task calling for
worldwide assistance, relief officials
say, The organization already is char
tering steamships to take away the
Greek and Armenian orphans in it's
charge. One OF these ships left Con-
stantinople yesterday, bound for sam
soun, where it will take aboard 1900
little ones. The steamship carries
9oodstuffs for distribution at Black Sea
ports, which are crowded with refu-
gees to number estimated as already
approaching $4,000.
LAUSANNE, Nov. 13--{By The Asso-
ciated Press).-Iamet Pnsha, head of
the Nationalist delegation, left for
Paris tonight to discuss conference mat
ters with the French. His departure
has created all kinds of speculation
concerning attempted reconciliation of
the views OF France and England.
Although some are of the opinion
that the Lausanne conference may
never be realized, official arrange
ments continue vigorously. The Amer
ie&f and English representatives are
due to arrive the latter part Of the
week.

LONDON, Nov. l4.-With the news
that 1smet Pasha, the Turkish Nation
alist representative to the Lausanne
Iconference, has to-day accepted Pre-
10 Paris prior to the conyocation . .
the conference there, the key to ths
Near Eastern situation, in the opinion
or many observers, may lie in what
takes place between him and the head
or the French government at their
meeting tomorrow.
The differences between the British
ana french policies in regard to the
aims OF the Lausanne conference,
which seemed at so acute a stage yes
terday. have meanwhile been tempo
rarily CLOSED over through q compro-
rntse to-day which provides that pre-
hnainary Allied conversations shall
take place through the several Ambas-
sadors and foreign offices. Fundament-
ally, however, the situation remains
serious. While the Turks have not vet
translated their threats at Constanti-
nople into action, it is not known how
long they will abstain from such
course in the face of the Allies delay
IN meeting them at Lausanne.
The Allied program for the rest of
thia week now calls for meetings be-
tween Lord Curzon and Signor Della
Torretta, the Italian Ambassador at
London. and between Premier Poincare
and Lord Hardinge, the British envoy
at Paris, in an effort to draw up tarr,r
OF 9 joint Allied case to be presented
to the Turks. Should an agreement he
reached Lord Curzon will see Premier
Poincare at Paris on his way to Lau-
| sanne, The impression here ia that
while the French President may &C
company Lord Curzon to Switzerland
he will not participate in the actual
negotiations with the Turks.
