CONFERENCE At
LAUSANNE HAS A
HEATED SESSION
Turkey Finds the Great
Powers of Europe Ar
rayed Against Her on the
Question of West ThraCe

Lausanne. Nov. % (by the Asso-
ciated Press) Turkey found the
great powers Of Europe arrayed
against her today on the question
of western Thrace, on W. 9h she
demands q pleblscite. and Greece,
helpless end leaten by the armies
of the Ottoman state. left a rather
heated afternoon session OF the
Near Eastern conference with the
feeling that she Is not so aban-
doned as she feared.
The Turkish plenipotentiaries re-
turned to their hotel looking de-
iected. One Of them said:
"They were all against US on the
Thracean issue today, but 1t Is not
vet decided; we probably shall
have something more to say to-
morrow" .
The Bulgarian premier, AleXan-
der Stamboulisky, explained Bul.
garia's necessity to have an outlet
10 the Aegean sea at Dedeagatch,
already promised by treaty. Greece
has admitted her. obligation to
grant Bulgaria port rights at Ded-
eagatch. but has explained that her
war with turkey prevented reali-
zation until now. Stamboulisky
was inclined to support the idea OF
making western Thrace autono-
NOUS but the trend of the allied
leaders speeches was opposed to
this.
While hostile TO a plebiscite, the
entente spokesmen favored demili-
tarization OF considera' @ zone on
the right bank Of the Martha river,
which divides western from eastern
Thrace, so that danger Of an arme!
conflict between the Greeks and
the Turks In the future would be
lessened.
The former Grecian premier
Eliptherios Venizelos was at his
best in defending I . Interests OF
his country. He frankly admitted
that Greece had made mistakes
and added that she had suffered
severely as a consequence OF these
mistakes.
The burden Of IN, -Lrks' arsu-
ments was that possession OF both
eastern and west rn Thrace was
necessary to make Constantlnople
safe for Turkey and prevent incur
sions into Turkish territory.

great deal Of good, I dare not
say"
Throughout his address he
sandwiched caustic comment on
America and her postwar atti-
tude with expressions of friend
ship and admiration for the coun.
try and her people. He told his
auditors, for example, that they,
with the rest of America. were
mot as well informed as they
ought to be-" When they came
to France, he said, they con-
tinued to talk shop. or to chatter
about Fifth avenue and Broad
way.
Easy TO Learn French
Then he robbed the remark of
it's sting by advising them to ask
any American soldier who had
met a French girl how easy and
pleasant 1t was to learn French
and the ways of France. The
suggestion brought burst Of
laughter and applause.
Immediately after he had
charged America with leaving
France ''in the lurch" he set the
hall reverberating with applause
when, with a great flashing Of
eyes, he declared 1--WE have to
defend our frontier and we will
defend it."
Closing his speech, he declared
he already felt his self-imposed
mission to America was a sue
cess.
'Tf were to go home tomor-
row." he said, Il would tell my
friends: BE quiet. l don't know
how they will do it, but be sure
the Yankee will do it once
more.'"
Inspiring Occasion
When Clemenceau went home,
shortly before 6. to take a long
rest before starting for Boston, he
told members OF the party that
the trip to Brooklyn would live
in his mind as "the most inspir-
ing occasion l have ever attend
ed"
Colonel E. NJ House. who ar
ranged his tour, asked him how
he felt after his strenuous day.
81 never felt better in my life,'
he replied. II would like to go
to a dance with you"
Colonel House declared he had
never seen the tiger happier, or
more pleased, over any achieve
ment of his life than he was over
the results, so far, of his Ameri-
can visit.
Paderewski Calls
The Tiger was ready to retire
at o'clock tonight when Ignace
Jan Paderewski, pianist and first
premier of Poland, arrived at the
Gibson home and begged to see the
Frenchman.
"Just for a minute" he whis-
pered to Clemenceau's secretary.
The Tiger was delighted. "Of
course. At once. Why, / would

His eyes glowed as Paderewski
entered his chamber, and he trem-
bled with excitement. They met

braced and put lips TO cheeks, aft
er the continental custom.
"You are the greatest man in
the world" exclaimed the pianist
statesman, who had occupied a box
when Clemenceau spoke at the
Metropolitan last night.
"No, Paderewski, you are the
greatest" the Tiger corrected him.
II was moved to tears when you
told at the peace conference of the
sufferings of Poland"
Their chat ended, the French
man said, Before l go home
want to hear you play. When shall
l have that pleasure?"
In flash they held hands again.
MASTER" said the pianist, II
will play for you now"
Clemenceau was delighted. Lead
ing the Pole by the hand, he al
most danced downstairs to the mu-
sic room, shouting like a boy and
summoning the household to come
and hear; come and hear"
Pianist Plays
Paderewski seated himself, look
ed at the Tiger a moment as though
for inspiration, then leaned back,
closed his eyes and played.
-Four times he played. And
through 1T all, from the first to
last Clemenceau sat erect in his
chair, staring intently at his friend,
his features kaleidoscope of the
passion and pathos Of the music.
AS Paderewski finished and pre-
pared to take leave, Clemenceau
caressed him again.
"OhNmy friend; my heart is full
of happiness. What a man you
are! You are more than o mu-
sician. You are q poet and there
Is poetry in your fingers"
Then the Tiger trotted off to bed.

The hearing which is set here for
Monday morning, on the governors
motion to quash the indictments
against him will determine wheth-
er the executive is cleared OF the
bribery charge or whether he must
go to trial before jury.
Judge Edwards late today sus-
talned a demurrer entered by Gov
ernor Robertson to the motion OF
County Attorney Hepburn seeking
to have vacated q change Of venue
granted IN Okmulgee u week ago
by District Judge Lucien B. Wright
OF Creek county. Hepburn's mo-
tion was thus disposed Of and TIE
case remains in Ada.
