TURKEYS ANSWER ON DARDANELLES
 DUE TOMORROW

Lausanne, Dec. 7-CBy the As sociated Press)-The Turkish dele gates to the Near East conference to- day faced the difficult problem of de- ciding whether Turkey. in formulat- ing her plan for control of the Dar- danelles, should cast her lot with Russia or with the Entente powers, and the United States. Turkeys sug- gestions for the solution of the per picking straits question will be made public tomorrow at the Hotel Du Chateau.
 Ismet Pasha and his associates, in formulating their plans, were con- fronted by the sharp differences in opinion between Great Britain and Russia in the discussion of the Dar- danelles question. If Turkey, on the one hand, goes over to the British camp she fears the irate Russian army on her eastern frontier; if. on the other hand, she sides with Russia In demanding complete control of the waterway, she fears the British navy in the straits.
 The Turks were greatly impressed by the plan presented by Lord Curzon yesterday on behalf of the Entente, which was approved in general by the statement of the position of the United States.

By FRANK J. OUINLAN.

When war clouds gathered over the nation and burst, Detective Reyes itched to join the nations forces.
 NO said Department of Justlce chiefs to Detective Reyes when Pres'- dent Wilson went before Congress and asked for a declaration of war on Germany, there is work for you to do in New Yo.k. Already the for ces that seek to undermine the na- tions's strength are gathering.
 And so Reyes went to New ork Conscientious objectOrs, radicals and hot heads of all sort gathered in the stronghold of radicalsm Greenwich village, to work against cOnscrlptiOn and to tear down, if possible all that the country was striving for.
 Draft dodgers Hooked to Green Evich village and secre ed themselves in it's labyrinth. Then cropped up the Conscientious ODJectOrs' League, the object of which was to aid and abet dodgers to escape the draft. From all parts of the nation, north, south, east and west, Hooked draft objectors who refused to serve the nations forces in France. A majori- " of them were aliens and radicals
 Then came the opening of hear quarters in Union Square. The names of the dodgers, and the ways and means to escape detection of dI It boards and army off.c als were de- vised as the conspiratOrs closted themselves with officials of the Ob- Jectors' bureau
 
 police was conducted upon the bu- reau in Union Square and near riots were precIpitated. Secret service men descended upon the bureau and seiz- cd it's officers. But as soon as one set of officers were seized and i'm prisoned another took up the direc- ton of the bureau.
 What was the trouble with the bu- reau? The objectors registered, told their friends who also registered and aired their grievances. But a singu- lar thing was hap'l ening- The Objec- tors were being carried off by the secret service, arraigned before court martiaIs and imprisoned, despite their protests of innocence that they had nothing to do with the radical rIots and German intrigue that at tempted to entwine itself about the country. In every case the govern ment had a clear case.
 This was the reason for the failure ef 7he Collectors eague plans. Upon being turned down by the secret ser vice for a release to join the army Reyes was assigned to New York and 10 the squad that kept an eagle eye on Greenwich Village.
 Through methods. known only to himself, he managed to gain the con- fidence of the radical groups holding sway in the vi ge. So confident were they of his belief in consc entious OO- and treasurer of the objectOrs league and had access to all it's books and all it's knowledge of plots against the government.
 Detective Reyes fraternized with the radicals and revolutiOnists and voluminously gave them his sympa- thy. "Comrade, you are one of us" This was the constant greeting which Reyes received from the Utopianists, dreamers and arch revolutionists
 Over the coffee tables of the Bo- henian village he learned of their plots to bomb. burn and destroy: their schemes to overthrow organized government. But every one of their cOups was arrested. Greenwich viii Iage could not account for 1t.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-12-07

But Detective Reyes could. And so could the secret service in which he was employed. Reyes always man aSad to be '-Out" when the raids on the bureau of which he had charge, were conducted. Whether the bureau was established by the secret service or not Reyes declined to say.
 While Reyes was working among the draft dodgers he met Leon TrOtz- ky. who with Nicholas Lenine, con- trols the destiny of rudderless Russia.
 Reyes was on intimate terms with Trotzky, who at the time wrote for a radical paper. Describing him Reyes said.
 ''Trotzky and I were very intimate. He was 9 Ekeable sort of a fellow and spoke fair English But what an His ha-r was long and bushy His beard was stub6y and most of the time he went unshaved His hat sIouched over his frey eyes. lis trousers were bagSgy and impressed. All in all. he looked like a regular Utopian.
 But Trotzky had an awful wife. Every time I would see him he would threw me out. She says I don't work :: that I'm no good. But what do I care.
 "Trotzky at that time lived in the Bronx, on Nyise street. He was a theoretical radical of the frey Rus sian Jew type He was learned, but his mind was one track one and he refused to listen to other peoples principles
 Often he used to boast that he would go to Russia and set up a So- Viet government. Not long after he made that boast he carried it out and did go. He so impressed the Bolshe- vists that they placed him next in command to Lenine. But before he went he made a touch.
 "One morning he came down to the coffee house where I happened to be. 1 don't know whether his wife had gone through his pockets the night before, but anyway he came over to me and said: Reyes; I'm hard up. Let me have a dollar and a quarter I want to get something to eat and a book that I've heard a great deal about. I'll pay it back to you and to make sure I'll give you my I. o. U.
 '' Alright, I said, I'm hard up my self, but I'll let you have it on the conditions you say.
 'I. let him have the S1.25, but he never paid me back because he left for Russia soon after that. I still hold the l. O. U. Maybe some day if Pm assigned to a case in Europe I might drop up to Moscow and show my friend the I. O. IT. he gave me- If he pays I don't want the money in Russian rubbles, but in good Ameri- can coin.'
 A concluding adventure of Detec- tive Reyes operations will follow.
