GERMAN BOY SCOUTS

II Is reported that the German scout
organlzation hitherto known as Der
Northumberland, has applied for aftilia-
uoh with the International scout body
which will convene for the second con-
ference in Paris next July. The only
question involved will be whether or
not the German organization is will
ing to follow genuine scout lines as
pfactlced in the British empire, United
states and elsewhere rather than the
mliltaristic type which 1t originally
"aopted. Lord Hampton, assistant
cnlef commissioner of the British
scout organization, says that if Ger

scout there will probably be no OBJ

Peace on Earth Not
Welcomed at Parley;;
Turks Spurn Request
"We Don't Believe in Christmas Presents" Says
Islam Delegate as Allies Ask Concessions on
Minorities; Ottomans Even Refuse to Protect
Christian Grave Yards on Angora Soil.

!. Lausanne, Dec. 22.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. .)-Christma threatens to
be a story time at the Lausanne con-
ference. Thursday was bad day:
Friday was worse. A temper which did
not seem to harmonize with the usual
spirit of the yuletide pervaded Friday s
session of the sub commission on min
critics.
Efforts were made to get Dr. Ria
Nur Bey, the second Turkish delegate,
who formerly was accredited by the
Angora government to represent it at
Moscow. to agree to the exemption Of
the Christian minorities in Turkey from
military service But he refused flatly
and seemingly sulIenly. He declined to
give any reason for this declination and
several others equally as flat.
NJ Laroche of the French delegation
made an appeal TO Ria Nur Bey on
military exemption, saying, Come on,
make the allies little Christmas pres
ent on this point The Turkish dele
gate, however. retorted angrily. I'VE
don't believe in Christmas presents.
Ria Nur Bey also refused to agree
to a provision for the preservation OF
Christian cemeteries in Turkey. This
caused much surprise among the other
representatives. as the Turks ordi-
narily are extremely careful to protect
all cemeteries.
The allies insisted upon consideration
of the clause providing that the Turks
must respect the work done under the
League of Nations in recovering and
restoring to their. families Christian
women and children who were seized
and Islamized by the Turks before the
close of the great war.
The Turks also declined to agree to
this provision, and the sub-commlssion
ended the session. seemingly with a
feeling of utter disgust at the attitude
of Ria Nur Bey, which several mem
bers of the sub-commission described
as highly insolent.''
The Turkish delegation has received
instructions from Angora that no
agreements are to be made at Lausanne
on economic questions, which are to lie
over for negotiations at some later
time.
This has created dissatisfaction
among the allies. especially the French.
who are anxious, that economic ques-
tions should be settled at this confer
ence.
Control of the Straits still is being
considered in private sessions: Lofd
Curzon, NJ. Barrere, Signor Dlgarronl
and Ismet Pasha were in conference
on this subject Thursday and again
Friday. The representatives OF the
three great powers have made it clear
to Ismet that if they give the special
guarantees Turkey seeks to protect
Constantinople from attack, Turkey in
turn must give the allies jurisdiction
over the Straits and the entire de-
militarized zone. Ismet has this under
consideration.

Turks on capitulations, Straits control
and the rights of minorities generally
