KEMAL IN DEMANDS
French Envoy Given Much
Credit or Offers To
Bring Peace

Judging from dispatches from
Constantincple LONDON, Paris anu
elsewhere today, the Immediate DAN
ger Of war between treat Eritail
and Turkey in the Near East has
been averted. From all indications
the proposal Of Mustapha Kemal,
leader OF tie Turkish nationaiisto,
that representatives of Great BRIT
ain. France. Italy and Greece meet
Turkey in preliminary peace par
ley TO be held az Mudanial tomor-
row, would be accepted by the pow
cas-. France Immediately accepted
the invitation.
Although tho British may view
with disfavor ito demand OF heinai
that he DO allowed to occupy Thrace
as far as the Martha river immedi-
ately, it was thought that Great
Britain would not turn down ke-
mails proposals on this ground. The
whole attitude of Great Britain in
the. matter has been conciliatory TO
the extent that the maintenance OF
her prestige would allow.
The Chanak area of the Dardan-
Giles zone, where 1t was thought
that q clash between the British
ard Turks was imminent, was quiet
today. The Kemaiists had made
good their promise.to make no fur
ther military moves and were re-
ported to be withdrawing slightly
in some sections.

hoped that an immediate armistiee can
be reached, and the basis of final

Kemal in the ChanalS aud lsmid areas
of the neutral zone he suspended pend
ing the Mudanln conference.

WILL PUBLISH
THE DIARY OF
COUNT T0LST0I
Three Unpublished Works To Be
Included In The Memorial
Edition

Moscow, Feb. 13.-Three unpublish-
ed works of Count Leo Tolstoi are to
be included in the Memorial edition
of his works which his daughters are
planning to issue.
The most important of these is his
diary, which will run to eight VOL.
umes of 500 pages each. The diary
was begun in 1850 and continued to
1870, without a break, then abandon
ed until 1889, when the great writer
renewed it and kept it until two days
before his death in 1910. ,
The first 20year period Of the diary
describes his life as a soldier in the
Caucasus, during the siege of Sebast-
o1ol and his marriage. The second
period Of the dairy is less personal
and devoted to questions Of religion,
philosophy and politics.
| A second Of the unpublished works
is an unfinished romance called "The
Story of Peter the Great" and deals
with revolutionary plots Of that time.
The third work is comedy in five
acts, 'The Nihilist," written in 1860,
poking fun at short-haired women,
long-bearded idealists and other Rus
sian types. It was refused by the
Art theater, of those days, a fact
which made hlle author downhearted.
Other than these three works, there
are large number of unpublished or
incomplete short stories to be issued.
AS Tolstoi made his daughters
promise not to copyright any Of his
works, after his life rule, these new
works will be published simultan-
eously throughout the world.

MURDERER IS
SERVING SECOND
LIFE SENTENCE
Pardoned While Serving First
Sentence, Goes and Kills
Another One

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 13.-Sol Flem-
ing, who is serving his second life
sentence for murder, has retired from
the~presidency of the Mutual Welfare
League, an organization of prisoners
in the State Reformatory here.
The league, while conceived by the
superintendent, largely is the creature
OF Fleming's constructive efforts. The
league is charged with providing rec
reatlon for the inmates Of the prison,
looks after the amusements and es-
tablishes standard of conduct for it's
members, demanding that they main
tain the standard if they enjoy it's
benefits.
Fleming, the former president, and
who still devOtes much time and study
to the league, has the unusual record
Of now serving his second life SEN
tence for murder. He was pardoned
while serving his first sentence. I'm
1915 he again killed a man and again
received a life sentence.
The welfare feature Of the league
has Fleming's chief interest. It looks
after the dependents Of it's members,

families are being cared for" Flem-
ing says, "and will keep many wife
faithful until her husband gets out,
in my opinion. A woman with de-
pendent children and her husband in
here has hard outlook"
Tangible achievements in the year
of the leagues existence are consid-
cred remarkable by the superintend-
ent. Notwithstanding the fact that
large majority Of the prisoners prac-
tically are destitute, their league has
spent in cash $4,000 improving the
baseball diamond, $3.50 for band uni
forms and instruments, $1,5OO on it's
'commissary and office fixtures, and
has accumulated about $500 worth of

were made possible by the operation
