TURKEYS STAND
ON STRAITS WILL
Be KNOWNFR|DAY
KemaIists Believed TO Favor
Entente Plan Supported
by United States.

LAUSANNE, Dec. 7.-(By the
Associated Press).-The Turkish
delegates to the Far East confer
ence today face the difficult prob
lem Of deciding whether Turkey,
in formula ting its plan for con-
troll Of the Dardanelles, should
cast her lot with Russia or with
the Entente Powers and the
United States. Turkeys sugges.
lions for the solution Of the per-
picking Straits situation will be
made public tomorrow.
Ismet Pasha and his associates,
in formulating their plans, noted
the sharp difference between
Great Pritain and Russia in dis
cussing the Dardanelles situation.
II Turkey on one hand goes over
to the British camp she fears the
irate Russian army on her eastern
frontier; II, on the other, she
sides with Russia in demanding
complete control Of the water
way, she fears the British naval
fc-ce In the Straits.
The Turks thus far have tenn
porized by saying that they favor
ed NJ. Titcherin's plan; but they
took this attitude before they had
heard the solution offered by the
powers. Imet Pasha and his as
sistants were impressed by the
plan presented. by Lord Curzon
yesterday on behalf of the En-
tente, which was approved in
general by the statement Of the
position of the United States.
The Turks apparently cannot for
get that Russia Is Turkeys tradi-
tional enemy and that Premier
Lenine's government may be not
less coYeteous OF Constantinople
and the Straits than was Russia
in the days Of the czars.
Turkey has always found pro-
lection in numbers. She has play
ed the European countries against
each other to her great advantage
time and time again, and she
hesitates to trust her fate to Rus
sia alone while the rest Of Eu-
rope, supported by the United
States, opposes an effort to turn
the Black Sea into Russian
lake.
NJ. Tchitcherin, fighting hard to
defeat Lord Curzon's plans, urges
that 1t would enable a combina-
ton of powers like the Entente
to keep a great navy In the Black
Sea, as each member OF the COM
bination would maintain there as
many ships as belong to Russia,
or whatever Black Sea power hap
pened to have the largest navy
at the time.
Turkey, however, in consider.
ing Russia's plan, apparently has
an eye on It's own pocketbook. II
It adopted NJ. Tchitcherin's pro-
| posals, Turkey would be forced
to make a great outlay for feet
and for Notifications, and as II
has no money 1t would prefer to
have some one else bear the ex-
pense Of policing the Straits.
Ismet Pasha is in constant
communication with Mustapha
Renal Pasha. There are many
rumors OF a possible adjustment
of the congress for the Christmas
holidays Inasmuch as the situa-
ton between the powers and Tur-
key has cleared considerably.

Mr.. Durham made Il strong plea for
real homes, places fixed and equipped

make women more cortsntcd and happy.
He said that population is what we all
most want for our city. If more were
settled in homes Of their own, it would
result in stabiizing .hc population we
