TURKEY Will
Join LEAGUE
OF NATIONS
When Peace is Signed
at Lausanne
tBy Associated Press,

LAUSANNE. Dec. 14-Turkey will
joint The League Of Nations as soon as
peace is signed at Lausanne, Ismet
Paha announced at the near eat con-
terence today. As the league exer-
clses general supervision over minority
population, Ismets announcement was
interpreted as meaning that Turkey
will accept the league uperviion over
the Christian population of Turkey.
In replying to Ismet Pasha, Marquis
CurZon said he was happy to note that
the Turkish delegation had changed its
tone, and had reached an understand
ing of the vast importance of the mi.
nority's question. He thought Ismet's
most important announcement was the
decision of Turkey to enter the League
OF Nations after thesignatureof peace,
which Lord Curzon hoped might be an
accomplished fact in about a month.
He believed Turkeys decision would
facllltate the solution of many of the
problems before the conference
Pledges League Support
The British spokesman emphasized
that the clauses in the European treaty
mentioned by Ismet stipulated super.
vision of the minority population by
| the League of Nations and said he was
/ happy to see that Turkey was accept
/ ing control by the league She could
count upon the adequate support and
guarantees which the league provided.
| He expressed the hope that confer.
ence of the sub-commission on minori.
ties would be permitted TO study the
question of establishing a homeland
/ for the Armenians and urged exemp.
tion from military service of the Chris
/ tian people in Turkey Lord CurZon
| assured the Turks that they need en-
tertain no fears of the League of Ma
tions infringing the rights of their
country. Turkey could always speak
out freely as a member of the league.
Child Gains Farley
/ Ambassador Child's frank talk with
| 1smet Pasha yesterday on the subject
of minorities residing in Turkey made
a good impression in Turkish circles
and exercised a calming influence on
the entire Lausanne conference, which
nervously saw dangers of a break
down of all negotiations because of
the threatened rupture over the treat
ment of the Greeks and Armenians by
Turkey.
The friendly Intervention OF the
American ambassador at the right mo
ment has convinced the Turks of the
immense strength of world opinion
4 particularly that of the United
States-on the need for a settlement
of the minority problem. Ambassador
Child urged Ismet to reconsider his
position as to the Armenians and
other dislodged populations, pointing
out that American contributors to re-
lief work in the near east desired TO
know that their gifts would help the
refugees in Asia Minor to settle IN
; permanent homes.
Turkish spokesmen believe that the
American representative at the CON
ference was natural arbitrator of
this veXing problem. They contend
/ that Turkey desires to do the righ:
thing, but adds that any measures de.
: signed to satisfy world opinion must
not violate Turkeys sovereign rights
! or force her to grant exceptional priv.
? iieges to people within her borders
: whom she can not assimilate.

Progress Reported
in Care of Health of
Children of u. S.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-Progress
in public provision for the care of
children since establishment in 1912
of the children's bureau of the depart
ment of labor was summarized in the
annual report of Miss Grace Abbott,
chief of the bureau, which was made
public today. The bureaus current
appropriation, she said, will enable it
to meet only small percentage Of
the opportunities offered for substan-
tial contribution to the welfare Of
children.
The report recited that in the 10
years the number of states having
special agencies to deal with child
health had increased from one to As,
and the number providing mothers
pensions from two to 40. More than
half the states, it said, have estab-
lished commissions to make compre-
hensive inquiries to bring their child
welfare legislation and administration
up to the standard and a similar num-
ber have established bureaus or di-
visions to deal with dependent and
delinquent children.
Adequate birth registration has
been extended during the decade to
include sc per cent of the population
and AZ states are cooperating with
the federal government in efforts to
reduce loss of life among mothers and
babies.
Physicians are giving more consid-
Grafton to social and economic aspects
of child health, Miss Abbott added
and soical workers have recognized
the Importance of physical diagnosis
before determining social treatment
Citing that the funds appropriated
under the maternity and infancy act
to be apportioned to the states fol
the year which ended June 80, did not
become available until, the report
said, payments had been made to Al
of the AZ states which have accepted
the terms of the legislation.

nounced that if any citizen had a tree
which would be appropriate for the
purpose, and who wishes to donate it

and bring it to the location. Trees
in past years used for the community
tree, have not been as beautiful as they
might have been,"- said Mayor Hand
ley. I'VE desire to get as beautiful a
tree erected as it is possible to get.
At present, we have a tree under con-
sidration which is not so good looking.
The contribution of large tree from
any citizen would be greatly appreci-
ated."
1t was also suggested by the mayor
that if any persons desired to contri-
butte decorations to the tree, they
would be gladly accepted. He stated
that the city had no fund for purchas,
ing decorations for the tree.
Fire Chief Miller is anxious to have
the tree look as good as possible this
year, and will appreciate cooperation
| of any citizens who care to donate
decorations to make it more beautiful
| than it has been IN past years.

STRIKE INJUNCTION
ISSUE FOUGHT AGAIN
IN DAUGHERTY CASE
Bv LAURENCE M. BENEDICT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The Chi
cago rail strike injunction issue may
be fought out all over again today in
the Daugherty impeachment proceed
ings before the house judiciary COM
mittee.
Unless further testimony is desired
on the Burns appointment matter the
committee today will start taking testi-
mony on the charge of Representative
Oscar Keller that Attorney General
Daugherty violated his oath and over
stepped his authority when he went
before Federal Judge Wilkerson at Chi
cago last summer and obtained the
drastic writ against railroad strikers.
If the Injunction matter is taken up
Donald +. Richberg of Chicago, the at
torney who fought the Injunction on
behalf of labor will testify. He faces
a chilly reception at the hands of Re
publican committeeman, practically
all of whom have committed them
selves informally to the opinion that
Daugherty's action in the injunction
proceedings could not possibly consti-
tute an impeachable offense. They
are also. anxious to push on to other
of the IA Keller specifications. Steven
son and Oscar Horne, labor union law
yers of Cleveland have also been sub
poenaed to appear today.
Woman is Advisor
Mrs Mabel w. Willebrant today
took place as an advisor in the
ranks of the attorneys representing
the attorney general. She is a special
assistant attorney general.
The committee was expected to de
eide today that A. P. McAuley of Tor
onto, shall be called, if he can be To-
Gated, and be given a chance to defend
himself against statements made late
| yesterday by William ]. Burns, chief
of the federal secret service.
I McAuley's efforts to prevent Burns
appointment in 1921 were attributed
/ by Burns to the fact that the Burns
detective agency arrested McAuley on
a charge of passing spurious money
! in ST. Louis and New York.

The wreck occurred when passenger

done, but the escaping steam filtered

According to members of the crew
of the switch engine a watchman
named Smith had been left in charge

ALTOONA, Pa, Dec. 14.-With one
entire business block in ruins and
flames demolishing another, the little
town of Juniata was threatened with
destruction today.
The borough reservoir is dry and
there is practically no water with
which to fight conflagration.
The fire started in a barber shop
at 4:30 a. m. and spread unchecked
while fire fighting forces sought des-
perately for some means to get water
to the scene.
The Pennsylvania railroad gave
thousands of gallons from it's reservoir
but the flames continued to gain
headway. An acute water shortage
has existed for some time, Juniata

being closed on this account.

FARM CREDIT
WAITS UPON
AGREEMENT
Definite Plan Sought
No Opposition
by MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The farm
credit legislation will be passed just
as soon as those WHO want it caa
agree among themselves about just
what form they want it in. Wide var
iations of opinion among farm bloc
senators and representatives and far
mers themselves as to just what they
want the government to do is the only
impediment to prompt passage of this
legislation by an overwhelming ma
iority.
There is practically nobody in Wash
ington who refuses to concede the
need and no one who is disposed to
block the way. But in the reconciling
of the various proposals and Welding
them into one definite bill there is
need for a world of patience and work,
which can only be contributed by the
farm bloc senators and congressman
and the farmers themselves.
The chief differences are in the de-
gree to which the government shall be
asked to contribute money. At one
extreme there is a proposal, fathered
by a few of the farm bloc senators,
that the government shall go into the
business of buying and selling farm
commodities on a national scale.
other Extreme
At the other extreme is a proposal
from the American livestock associa-
tion, composed of the livestock inter
ests of eighteen western states, which
proclaims that they do not want one
cent of federal money, all they ask Is
