Turks Are Ha,Ighty.

Paris, Nov. IS. (By Associated Press) The delegates of the Turkish national government have come to Lausanne as victors and their mood is wholly different than that of the crushed representatives of the sultan who begged mercy when the treaty of Sevres was drafted three years ago. Their leader, Ismet Pasha, boasts of support from the Russian soviets and alludes to the uncertainty which new governments in England and Italy have given to the solidarity of the en- tente. Mustapha Renal Pasha cer- tainly seems well entrenched in Eur ope today.
 His delegates to the Lausanne con ference are confident of being grant, ed their demand that Turkey shall be relieved of the capitulations which are extra territorial rights granted to for eigners in Turkey. They are also firm and confident in believing that full sovereign rights will accrue to their government through the con- ference. Their attitude brings to mind the remark once made by an American diplomat that putting Eur ope out of Turkey would come nearer

Critical in Constantinople

London, Nov. IS (By the Associat- ed Press <eNow that the Lausanne Near East conference has been post poned to November 20, the question most urgently asked here is whether lit will be possible to maintain peace in Constantinople in the interim. Re storation of communications has re- vealed such ar ugly situatier ther, |that it is evident the utmost sAct ani skill will be necessary to prevent violent outbursts.
 All reports coming to London con- cur in saying that the extremists are dominating the Angora government, which through its agents in Constan tinople Is following the policy of de- fiance toward the allies and terrorism among the local population. Resi- deI>B of Constantinople are described as being in a state Of extreme alarm while the position of the allied troops is reported as one which one soon may become untenable.
 Englishman Thrashed
 An incident which sharply shows the total change in the situation from conditions which have prevailed dur ing the past year, is reported by some correspondents whose dispatches say that an English book merchant who became involved in street squabble was seized by the Turkish police taken to the Galata police station and thrashed. The correspondents main tain that the establishment of martial law alone can make Constantinople safe.
 Complete agreement among the al lies and display of unity in the na- ture of granting full authority to their commanders in Constantinople to CO., operate in any emergency would re- move anxiety, 1t is contended, and guarantee stability during the discus sions with the Turks at Lausanne. Without such co-operatioH it is argued, the conference had better not be held.
 Commentators in London generally insists upon the necessity of the allied representatives to meet together be- fore talking to the Turks at Lausanne in order to decide common policy.
