BRITISH REPLY CLEARLY.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. November 2S.-The Havas
correspondent at Lausanne has pre-
sented a number of questions to the
British delegation. to which the Brit
ith representatives responded. as fol-
lows:
First "Is 1t true that the British
government regards the tripartite
agreement of 1920 as non-existent:"
Answer THE British government
has always been hostile to the tri-
partite agreement because the United
states was not a party thereto. The
demned this agreement by its last
note. we have no reason not to re.
nounce it. For us the agreement or
1920 is dead"
Second. rs it true that Lord Cur
Zon visited the secretary general OF
the league of nations at Geneva Sun
day, and with what object?'
Answer. Lord Curzon did indeed
generaD. Lord Curzon's object was
to acauaint himself with the head
quarters of the league. which he did
not know. II is possible that he may
have had occasion TO talk OF the even
tuality of submitting certain litigous
questions pending before the peace
conference"
Third. .'What answer do you think
the conference will make to the move
OF the Russians asking to participate
in all the work of the conference?
Answer. Their request is not ac-
ceptable. We stand by the note OF
the 18th Of November last"

LAUSANNE. November es.-Eussia

expected to make a strong pair At
Lausanne, and other delegates t. tho
near east conference are wondering
what effect the combination will have.
English and French circles show
a disposition to reject the demands
forwarded by the Russian delegation.
insisting that Russia be heard not
only in the Dardanelles discussion.
but in all questions on the conference
agenda. 1t is pointed out that Rus
sia has signed a peace treaty with
Turkey and that. therefore. there is
no reasonable basis for her demand
that she participate in the gen'ra'
deliberations to determine the terms
of a settlement between Greece and
Turkey on one hand and Turkey and
the allies on the other.
Nevertheless. whatever may he the
decision Of the conference on the
stand taken by the Russians. Ii is ar
parent that there will be no dispo-
sition to shutout Russia. 1t is recnc-
nized that so many problems are par
ana parcel TO a settlement of TIE
straits controversy that Russian par
ticipation in this angle of the confer
ence will inevitably mean the asso-
ciatfon Of the Moscow delegates with
other important questions on the con-
ference program.

Judge Hardison further said that
il these conditions exist he hoped
that proof would be submitted and
thus enable the Police Court judges
to put stop to these practices.
There are said to be half a dozen
or more bondsmen taking bonds for
persons arrested in all Of the pre-
cincts. II has been openly charged
that one bondsman in particular has
a policeman as "capper" in each Of
the police stations. day and night.
