Curzon Tells Ottoman
ENJOYS England VIII
Not Abandon Mosul
Oil Fields.

London, Dec. 27,-(By Associ-
ated Press. "A Reuters dispatch
from Lausanne says:
There is serious danger of the
Near East conference becoming
abortive If the Turks persist in
their present methods"
Lausanne, Dec. 27.--(By Asso-
ciated Press Through Foreign
Secretary Curzon, Great Britain
informed Turkey today that the
British never will abandon the
Mosul oil vilayet, as requested by
the Turkish delegation and that
no prolongation of the Near East
conference can influence the Brit
ish government to recede from Its
positions.
The British position is outlined
in a letter sent by Lord Curzon to
Ismet Pasha, head of the Turkish
delegation, covering the formal
reply Of the British delegation to
the Turkish note of Sunday last,
which insisted Mosul belonged to
Turkey.
Arab Freedom Guaranteed.
Lord Curzon stated that the
pritiub oovarnpnapt hod avnalIa1
the Turks from the Mosul area and
occupied and administered 1t. The
British had taken a pledge to free
the area both from Turkish rule
and establish the government OF
the Iriak, and England since then
had repeatedly given her word
that the Arabs would not be in
terfered with.
Lord Curzon added that Great
Britain had given her solemn
pledge to let no foreign power
take any part of this territory and
that she would steadfastly adhere
to her promise.
Question Turk Data.
The foreign secretary, however,
said that Great Britain was pre-
pared to have her experts meet the
Turkish experts to define the
northern boundary of the lriak.
The British delegations formal
reply to the Ottoman note ques-
tions the reliability Of the statis-
tics put forth by the Turks to JUS
tify their claim to Mosul. AL
though the Turks ruled this dis
trict for centuries they never cot
lected exact information, 1t was
pointed out, and no confidence
could be placed in their statistics.

PAROLE OF THEO LACY NOW UP ID
 GOVERNOR K|LbY
He May or May Not Follow Favorable Rrecommenda- ton of Pardon Board.
 Lacy Hopeful

Montgomery. November 1.-(Spe- cial. al.)-Governo Kiiby was in possess sion today of all the evidence in the case involving the petition of Theo Lacy, former chief clerk of the state convict department, for release on pa role. The record. with the recom- mendation of a majority of the board in favor of Lacy's release. was de- livered to the executive department during the day.
 Governor Kilby did not indicate when his decision will be rendered, He expects to take up the petition in the ordinary course of business. Throughout his term as governor he has considered all petitions for elem eacy as soon as possible, but has steadfas stly declined to take any &C., ton on cases which were not recom- mended by the board of pardons.
 This case of Lacy's comes within the class which the governor will consider. However. the governors de- cision may or may not be in line with the recommendation of the majority of the board of pardons. The recom- mendation of the board of pardons is merely a suggestion to the governor
 
 ton of the evidence and other in- formation submitted in support of or in opposition to the petition. The governor is not bound by any recom- mendation of the board of pardons.
 Not Guiity-Isacy
 Lacy, when advised that a majority of the board had voted to recommend him for executive clemency, ex- pressed the hope that the governor will concur in the views of the board. He said he positively is not guilty of any violation In the case in which he is now serving a sentence of six years and that If paroled he will return to civil life and attempt to make amends for the wrong which he admitted he did to the state in the original case, and for which he served a sentence of 10 years, less the time allowed for good behavior.

Blue Gray Chiffon Clouds
 Indian Summers Garment
By DOLLY DALnYMPLD

Just at this season of the year when the summer time is dying out
 and the autumn leaves of crimson
 and gold are beautifying the land,
 there comes the inquiry as to just
 what period of the year properly an
 swers to the call of Indian summer"
 There are many people who will
 not be convinced that the true In-
 dian summer does not come until November. These persons call any mild and beautiful fall day after De-
 tober begins "a real Indian summer day" They are right in stating that
 such days are like those in Indian
 summer, but, although there are
 times when we may grow skeptical,
 dian summer this year, the season
 generally comes. and now Is the time
 to expect it.
 What Is Indian summerf
 A few weeks ago a Boston paper
 answered an inquiry concerning In-
 dian summer so we'll that I am going to quote the answer here:
 Indian summer-in North Amer
 ica, period of mild. balmy weather usually occurring in November
 characterized by a clear sky and a hay or smoky atmosphere. especial
 ly near the horizon, Is called Indian summer. The name is said to be de- rived from the custom among the
 Indians of using this delightful time of year to harvest their corn. Ac- cording to one of their traditions, they always had q second summer
 of nine days just before the winter set ins Indian summer corresponds
 to a similar season prevailing dur ing the late autumn in England and the Mediterranean countries, called "St. Martins summer" from St. Mar tins festival, which falls on Novem-
 Der Il, which Is also "Armistice
 Day"
 According to legends, if St. Martin $ day Is clear, with a hint of crispness l in the air, the winter following will be long and cold one; but if the day Is stormy. then we may expect short and mild winter season. The | tradition seems to show that things generally go by contraries; hence, in | stead of hoping for one of the lovely 1 St Martins days l have so often known, 1t might be well for us to pray for rain on that festival so as to have mild winter.
 THE MELANCOLY DAYS So many people speak of autumn, | 1nu tSUttldlly OI 4NONtIllpCis dS q Hlcl- ancholy time, because the falling leaves and the death of the flowers l remind them of the shortness of life | and of the drawing nearer to the | end that comes to all Yes, all these | thoughts may be depressing if we | dwell only on the side of death and | decay and refuse to look on the other and brighter side. This years s 1 flowers have died and the leaves 1 have fallen, but others will come | in the spring and they will be as
 beautiful as those which have been. The flowers and leaves which are gone, have done their part; they like | ourselves. have had something to do, l part to play in the universe, and l all are responsible for but one part. | If we play that as well as we can. l live as truly as possible, enjoy all | that we have right to enjoy, and | miss as little of the good so bounti l fully bestowed, surely we need not
