The Mosul oil fields are part of
Turkey proper and when the time comes
to make oil concessions to foreigners

I'VE are reading great deal these

the conference concerning Mosul. all
of which proceeds from the theory that
Mosul IS British the Turkish delegate
said.
"Thc contrary is true. Mosul has
been ruled by the Ottoman dynasty for
exactly 100 years and we intend to
assert vigorously our claim to SOW
crpignty over Mosul when the frontier
question is discussed in the conference.
British troops occupied this terri
tory after the nrmistice. not before,
and IL is not Il part of Mesopotamia.

key and prefer to deal with Americans
because they work their concessions on
n strictly business basis without seek
ing TO advance the interests Of their
governments by mixing in politics and
following a policy Of economic pcnctra.
ton harmful to the Turkish state.
Let Americans keep their hands oif
internal Turkish politics and they will
be favored by u.s.
Ria Nur was distressed over what
he termed American inability to nm
dcrstand the honorable and constructive
aims # the new treaty.

Raid on Home

Commissioner of Accounts David
Hirshfield took testimony yesterday in
his investigation of the arrest of Mrs.
Morris H. Elvidge, of 7S2 West End
Avenue, wife of the president of a
roofing manufacturing concern. The
Elvidge apartment was raided June 20
and a considerable quantity of LIQUOR
seized. The liquor was ordered re
turned, but Mr.. Elvidge charged much
of it had disappeared
Patrolman Arthur T. Hall, who made
the raid, admitted he was without war
rant and said he acted on complaint of
the superintendent of the apartment
building.
After the hearing the Commissioner
said:
Il will send copy of the patrol
mans testimony to District Attorney
Banton with a recommendation that
action be taken. am convinced that
Hall was not telling the truth, and In
specter Bolan and Deputy Troy never
should have permitted the arrest of
Mrs: Elviage to be made.
THE whole affair is an outrage and
one for which the police cannot be too
lutely no right to enter the apartment
and arrest Mrs. Elvidge, who was guilty
of no crime. There is nothing criminal
or wrong in a wife accepting liouor
bought by her husband; Furthermore

Of the first straw vote ever taken in
Germany on the question of prohibi-
tion showed an overwhelming majority
to-day in favor of the abolition of al
cohol as prescribed in the United
States.
This balloting was conducted in the
first police precinct Of Bielefeld, and
of l4,069 qualified voters, 12,626 voted
for prohibition, 416 against and 1922
declined to vote, the others being un-
accounted for. The test was made by
the newly organized campaign com
mitteee for the German prohibition
movement, which plans to take similar
votes in other parts of the country
The committee issued a statement
from it's headquarters at Darmstadt
asserting that Germany wastes an
average of 3,50o,000,000 gold marks an
nually on alcohol. The statement says
this sum would be sufficient "to shake
off the yoke of the reparations burden
and all its bitter accompanying eff
fects." "Germany's credit abroad -

words If Am II recognition is to be
extended to .ico, according to "Ex-

A communication to this effect, the
paper says, was delivered by George 7
Summerlin, the American Charge DAT
faires, to Foreign Minister PAM last
Thursday, in answer to the Mexican
Foreign Ofice notes Of May 4 and "a

be secured by treaty of amity and

ton as embodying friendly insistence
by Mr.. Hughes that recognition Of
Mexico must be preceded by some writ

Mexico are not to be subject TO confis-
cation.
The American Embassy has followed
it's policy Of silence on the situation,
all inquirers to-day being referred to
the Mexican Foreign Office, where it
was said such matters must be treated
confdentially.
From other sources, however. it was
learned that the communication re-
form of a letter from Mr.. Hughes 10
Mr.. Summerlin. 1t was dated July 28.
In it the American Secretary OF State
reiterates his previous enunciated poll

while insisting on treaty, points out
that it in nowise shall impugn Mexi-

said to call attention to the confsca-
tory program which has been carried
out during the Obregon administration
against American property owners and
to say that until fair and reasonable
compensation is provided formal dip
lomatic relations between the United
States and Mexico cannot prevail.
Irritation Noted in Mexico
Although the tone of Mr.. Hughes's
communication is said to have been
friendly and to allow all freedom to
Mexico in the accomplishment of its
guarantees, persons who profess to
know assert that nevertheless there is
a slight undercurrent of Irritation
over it.
