Tells Lord CurZOn Nation
Cannot Participate.
Outlines Interests.

LONDON, Oct. 81. - Ambassador
Harvey visited Lord Curzon. British
foreign minister. this morning and
conveyed to him the United States
refusal to take part officially in the
Lausanne conference on the Near
East. hut its consent to be repre-
sented by an observer.
At the same time he notified Lord
Curzon that America expects pro-
lection of its rights in the Near
East and favorable decisions on
questions in which it is most inter-
ested. such as the protection of
Christian minurities. American mis-
siOns and educational establish
ments. the rights of foreigners gen.
orally and the rights of archaelogi-
cal research.
Russia May Participate.
Bulgaria has been notified by the
powers that it will be welcomed to
the conference and be allowed to
state its case as to an outlet on
he Aegean Sea and the Dardanelles.
So far Russia has only been in
vited to the second conference deal
ing with the Dardanelles. but it is
gathered that there will be little
objection if England allows it to
enter both conferences on equal
terms in return for a guarantee to
cease intrigueinC into British pos
sessions.
1t has practically been decided
that the British delegates will be
