History has probably recorded no
stranger pilgrimage than that of
Georges Clemenceau to Americas s
capital on this date. The atmosphere
here Is neither hostile nor friendly to
the aged statesman, who guided
French policy in the making of the
peace of Versailles
First there's a curious mixture of
admiration for the aggressive per-
sonality of the distinguished visitor
and wonder at the boldness of his ap-
peal for American cooperation at a
time when the dominant elements in
the United States government were
never more concerned about domestic
problems to the exclusion of matters
external. Then there's the odd atti-
tude of the democrats. who it would
be supposed would welcome NJ.
Clemenceau as the exponent Of inter-
national cooperation and as the
champion of policy on which Wood
row Wilson made his last stand in
American pc litics.
Meets Wilson TomorrOw.
Tomorrow NJ. Clemenceau and Mr..
Wilson meet in the home of the for
mer President. 1t is because they
have SO little in common that the
democrats find it difficult to act as
the avowed champions of the Clemen-
ceau mission. The former premier
of France doesn't belong to the same
school of thought on international af-
fairs as does Mr.. Wilson. He be-
lieres in offensive and defensive al
iiances and Mr.. Wilson doesn't. He
thinks strong military and naval
preparation should be international
so that peace may be guaranteed. In
other words. NJ Clemenceau believes
in a league to enforce peace and his
objection to the league of nations is
exactly what it was three years ago
when it was launched-he doesn't
think 1t has teeth enough. He does
not regard article Y as binding
enough. He doesn't see how any

The Capper bill. increasing the SAL
aries of the public school teachers in
the District of Columbia and au-
thorizing certain reorganization. was
passed by the Senate today without
Ia dissenting vote and practically
without debate
Section is of the bill, authorizing
the board of education to conduct as

other activities and to fix and pre-

at the request Of Senator Smoot of
Utah, who contended that it gave too
wide a discretion to the board.
Fixed Pay and Prmotions.
The bill fixes the salaries of teach

salaries of administrative and super

When Senator Capper reported the
bill from the District committee he
presented a written report in which
he said:
"The bill provides adequate COM
pensation for the teachers in the
public schools OF the District and
also authorizes certain reorganiza-
t;ons which are vitally necessary for
the betterment of the school system.
at is the belief of your committee
that the salary Of the school teacher

make it possible for the teacher to

LAUSANNE. December 5-Turkey

the near east conference that the

unhappy representations of a COM

the resumption of war in southeastern

military or naval support for the pro-
visions Of the league Indeed. his in
depreciation of the league covenant
is exactly opposite to that view by
which men like Senators Hiram
Johnson, Borah and others made
successful fight against American ac-
ceptance of the covenant.
In fact, even if the Wilson view that
the covenant didn't interfere with
national sovereignty and freedom OF
action had prevailed in this country
still VI. Clemenceau would have beeh
disappointed. His declaration that ne
favors American membership in the
league Of nations as it is at present
framed is merely declaration IN
favor Of half a loaf being better than
none.
An Far Apart ns Ever.
So NJ Clemenceau and Mr.. Wilson
stand as far apart today as they dld
In Paris. except that the former
premier would probably have to ad-
nit that the American President dio
know American sentiment better than
the French supposed when he argued
that even the league covenant was
marked departure from American ira
ditional policy. and that the wnoie
thing would fail to win favor II the
settlements between the nations at
Versailles were unjust.
Since the Versailles conference Mr..
Wilson's predictions in the informal
conversations with NJ. Clemenceau
have come true. The people nave
found many of the rigid provisions OF
the Versailles treaty unsatisfactory.
Mr. Wilson accepted the treaty as
written because he didn't want to see
the negotiations prolonged and un-
rest stimulated-the world was cry
ing for an early peace. And he ac-
cepted them also because he sincere.
ly believed the Versailles treaty could
be revised through the machinery
of the league of nations. Now 1t de-

LAUSANNE, December 5.-Hs is ap-
uarent that Russia and Great Britain
have opposing views on the control OF
the Dardanelles and the Bosporus,
while France. italy, the United States
and even Turkey seem to have no
definite plan. Turkey. it appears. is
ready to accept any plan compatible
with her interests and acceptable TO
The others Turkey is afraid OF both
Russia and Great Britain. but at pres
ont perfers Russia for an ally because
Great Britain seems the more threat
sning.
Want Sea to Be Russian Lake.
Apparently the Russians. who are
following d purely national policy.
want to make the Black sea Rus
sian lake, with the Turks as door
keepers. At present the Russian and
British positions are opposed. with
both sides determined to fight vigor-
ously for their views. Lord Curzon
accepted NJ Tchitcherin's challenge.
and the fight is on. Both sides are
trying to discover Ine opposing view
and strength without revealing their
own intentions. 1t is sort of jockey
ing for the start.
The Turks tell the correspondent
today that at the next session they
will again maintain the strictest 81
lence and that they will wait until the
allied views are known before ac-
cepting or offering plan.

Foreign Commissar Tchitcherin, at
Mondays session. in a rasping mood
and voice, described the British as can
tankerous" He read a long declaration
which he said was part of a fixed plan
which he had brought from Moscow.
This place is to have the Bosporus and
the Dardanelles closed to warships and
military aircraft at all times with per-
manent liberty of commerce.
Excepts Turkey From Plan.
NJ. Tchitcherin excepted Turkey from
the plan and said that Turkey had the
right to fortify both entrances to the
straits. to possess fleet. and. if neces-
sary. to permit other fleets to enter the
Black sea to protect Turkey. Briefly,
the plan would restore the pre-war sit
uation. NJ. Tchitcherin added that Rus-
sia had Cancelled all agreements by
which she had been promised control Ct
the straits, but would oppose any ar
rangement which might be directed
against Russia and would permit an
enemy feet to intervene.
In a conference with newspaper cor
respondents today, NJ. Tchitcherin said
that three solutions were possible: first
the occupation of the Dardanelles and
The Bosporus by Russia, which Russia
does not want; second, control by an
international combination which would
give possession to the strongest naval
power. and, third, the restoration of the
pre-war regime with the straits in pos
