TURKS MUST MEET
ALL OBLIGATIONS
ENTENTE WILL NOT LOSE ITS
GRIP.-INTERALLlED HIG H
COMMISSIONERS RESOLVED
TO OBSERVE IMPARTlALITY
IN INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

Constantinople, Nov. 7.-Though
the Nationalist civil power is in con-
troll in Constantinople the. entente
does not intend for the present, at
least, to lose it's grip on the military
authority. Great Britain and France
are in accord on the point that the
Turks must live up to the convention
drawn up at Mudania and it is not
doubted that the other interested
countries will fall into line with this
policy.
There is every desire, however, to
meet Turkish aspirations within pro-
per- limit and to this end the allied
commissioners today issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"The interallied high commission
ers are firmly resolved to observe
strict impartiality with regard to
events which concern the interna-
tional policy Of Turkey. The allied
generals will continue TO apply the
clauses of the Mudania convention
and maintain order and security in
the zones occupied by the allied ar
mics.
Replying to the last proclamation
from Angora concerning the Laus-
anne conference the commissioners,
while renouncing the wish to inter-
fere with Turkish policy, express
the hope there will be only one Turk
ish delegation to the conference.
Constantinople, Nov. THE al
lied commissioners refuse to discuss
the demand of the Angora govern
ment that only one warship at a
time enter Turkish ports and then
only with the consent Of the Turk
ish authorities.
Paris, Nov. '7.-Rafet Pasha, now
Nationalist governor Of Constantine
pie, assembled the under secretaries
of the various administrations and
informed them that the Offices Of
grand vizier, minister Of interior and
foreign minister would be closed as
the result of measures taken by the
Angora government according to dis
patches received here from Constan-
tinople. The ministers Of war and
navy will continue under the direc-
ton of under secretaries, he said.
The troops in the city will be un-
der the command Of the garrison
commander, according to this new
program. To the police would be
left the execution of the. orders of
the national assembly and the judges
will administer the laws of that
body.
Beginning today the messages said
Rafet Pasha is proceeding to collect
Kemalist customs and personal tax
es from the inhabitants of Constan-
tinople.

Clothes for Gifts
for men from a mans
store

Years ago, when we first advertised Clothes for
Gifts as the Xmas gift for men par excellence we
met with little response. But during the war the
vogue of the sensible gift was swept in by govern
ment sanction, and since then has steadily in
creased in popularity.
And each Christmas season now finds more and
more folks buying clothes from this store for
those men members of the family, for those
friends, and for those employees to whom they
wish to give really substantial gifts.

NEW YORK. December 5.-The cot

day. with first prices II to 81 points

ably fresh buying on reports that pri-
vate returns indicated a ginning OF
only s.260.00O bales to December 1 and
an indicated total crop Of 9.640.000.
These figures were evidently cables to
Liverpool before the hour Of the local
opening and led to rallies there which
helped the initial advance here. but
the market met considerable realiz-
ing around 2514 for January and 25.19
for March. while there also was some
southern selling. This checked the up
turn and gave the market rather an
unsettled appearance after the call,
when prices eased of several points
