BY HENRY WOOD.


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Lausanne, Dec. 4.-Members of the
Russian delegation decided at an
all night conference to demand in
conjunction with the Turks that the
Dardanelles be placed under the lat
ter's control.
Foreign Minister Tchitcherin, ac-
cYompanied by Rakowski, voronski
and Midvani all came to the con-
ference chamber for the resumption
Of the parley at II o'clock.
A crisis in the Near Eastern dis
cussion is expected today when the
allies will have to meet both the
Turkish and Russian demands un-
der threat of a possible war. The
Turks represent that nothing less
than the recognition of their full
sovereign rights will be acceptable
to the new nationalist government.
The Turkish delegates asked the
adjournment of teh Near astern con-
ference pending their consideration
of proposals in regard to the Darda-
nelles, put forward by Russia, Bull

chantmen but closed to warships and
that Turkey should retain sovereign
control of the Straits with the right
to fortify them for defense.
