Lausanne, Dec. 19.-(By the A. P.)-' Turkish fears of submarines, Turkish fears of swiftly flying military air planes laden with bombs. and, general ly, Turkish fears of aggressions from without that will put Constantinople in danger, have tonight placed, the whole L' >>;anne conference. in jeopardy.
 'fne United States is silent on the sit uation, but the allied leaders say tonight that they have uttered their last word on tho question of the liberty of the straits. Tomorrow the Turks must say yes or no to the allied project.
 The British experts, Admiral Reyes and General Burdett- Stuart, already have left for Engl2nd, believing their work to have been completed, and the French ex- perts are preparing to departme tomor- TOW night at the conclusion of the Hast session" for discussion of the straits. whether a rupture will come .o on the straits Whether, rupture VIII come on the straits problem depends chiefly. on whether the entente diplomats and their experts can remove the Turkish fears. This they are trying to do tonight
 The diplomats are endeavoring to convince the Angora statesmen that the straits project is essentially framed tto meet conditions in times Of peace, and that the. allies are not in anys sinister, hidden manner seeking facilities for war, hndespecially against Turkey. They say tS=ev have only sought. the equality of all fleets passing through the stralEs on peaceful errands. .;-.-
 The allies have emphasized that they cannot accept the Turkish request for the suppression of submarines and mill itary sirplanes; especially they have been unable to accept the 0ttomon sug- gestion that ombined foreign fleets en- tering the Black Sea shah not exceed in strength the fleet of the strongest nav al power of the Black Sea. That would make the Black sea forbidden ground, 9 said a rench expert tonight.
 As the Russians are here only for c;s- cussion of straits question, tomorrow may see the last of them at Lausanne. They still are in lighting mood, how ever. George Tchitcherin was in fine ar gumentative form today He tried tu Efn American sympathy for the Russian Itraits project by ingising that it incorp- lrated the American Idea of 'benencent Narships" ss@ 9.
