BRITISH SURPRISED AT
 STAND OF FRENCH ENVOY

London, Oct, 6.-(By the A. P.)-The visit of Lord Curzon, the British foreign secretary, to Paris was described in of ficial quarters this afternoon as being for the purpose of satisfying himself and the British government on a point they already were firmly convinced of, name ly. that the French government has no intention of going back on the stand taken by 1t in the allied note to Mustapha Keu1al Pasha of September 23
 Surprise was expressed today at the stand that M. Franklin -Bouillon, the French envoy took at his conference with Mustapha Kemal Pasha in Mudania. The British government is not willing to be- lieve that he went beyond the instructions of his government.
 It was definitely stated today that M. Poincare, the French premier, gave as- surances to Lord Curzon, during Curzon' s previous visit to Paris. that NJ Franklin Bouillon had been definitely instructed not to go beyond the terms expressed in the allied note.
 Lord Curzon is going to Paris mainly to clear up this apparent discrepancy, it was said today It also was stated that the question of Russias participation in the peace conference, demanded on Kemals reply, might incidentally be dis cussed by M. Poincare and Lord Cur zon.
