From the Dardanelles.

LAUSANNE.-The closing Of the
Dardaneles to all warships except
those of Turkey and giving Turkey the
right to fortify the straits were advo-
Gated by foreign minister Tchitcherin
of Russia at today's meeting of the
Lausanne conference called to discuss
the question of the straits.
Ismet Pasha, leading Turkey delegate
asked for absolutely Turkish control
of the straits, or demilltarization.
The preliminary exposition of the
question by representatives of the
great powers had not been completed
when the meeting was adjourned.

accompanied to the meeting by four
guards. The detectives are constantly

taries Belin and Amory.
Fortiiy the Straits
Tchitcherin insisted that Turkish
sovereignty could only be guaranteed
by the presence of Turkish warships
in the straits. while the warships OF
other powers should be postponed from
entering them. He contended also that
Turkey should have authority to forti-
fy the straits as a means Of safeguard
ing her independence and particularly
for the protection of her capital, Con
stantinople.
This speech caused such a commotion
In the ranks of the allies that Lord
Curzon rose and remarked ironically
that the conference intended to observe
the Russians, who came to Lausanne
representing three countries. were now
acting as the mouthpiece for fourth
namely. Turkey. In this he referred
to Russia's representing Georgia and
the Ukraine as well as Russia herself.

cherin and NJ. Rakovc<y had been in
close consultation with the Turks for
the last two days and there was evi.
dence of great uneasness among the
