Still Want Separate
Treaty With Turks
Stands Pat
PAsHA YIELDING
Angora Delegate is Anx-
ious to Have Lausanne
Parley Continued
Allies Should Act.
CRy United Prrss.l

Washington, Feb. 6.-The
United States today again stood
forth in the role of great peace
maker trying to stsye Oft war N
Old World.
With fuel added by the dis
agreement at the Lausanne Con-
florence. war clouds that rolled
over Europe now are spreading
over the Near East.
The American Government in
every way possible will try to
bridge the gulf between the Al
lies and Nationalist Turkey that
has developed from the break
up of the Conference at Lausan-
ne. 3
This Government, it has been
made known, still stands on it's
Near Eastern policies as out
lined ut the Beginning Of the
Lausanne Conference. and de-
spite the rupture in the negotia-
tions will continue to seek q
satisfactory separate treaty with
the Turks.
But Ambassador Child, Ameri-
cas- representative at Lausanne,
who is in constant communica-
tion with Secretary of State
Hughes, will seek in whatever
practicable way offered itself to
heal the breach between the al
lied powers and the Turks.
In the same spirit that the
United States offered a way for
problem and tried to check the
French occupation of the Ruhr,
it still stands ready to extend its
good offices in the Rhine crisis
if the proper moment arrives;
so this Government will do what
it can to dissipate the war threat
that has arisen from Lausanne,
With the situstion that has de-
veloped from Lausanne so con-
fused by the many cross-cur-
rents of interests, officials here
have so far found it impossible
to predict just what will be the
outcome of the breakup of the
Near Eastern Peace Conference.
But on the issue of Peace or
War, the latest developments over
seas seem to favor the former
and the possibility of patching
up the Lausanne breach.
The Administration realizes it
is in a difficult position in con-
nection with the necessity for
negotiations to conclude sepa-
rate treaty with Turkey, de-
mands of important elements in
the United States, including a
large part Of the clergy are for
a belligerent stand with the Al
lies against the Kemslists. But
high officials here emphasize that
this Government has never brok-
en- with the allies as in favor of
the Turks in the Lausanne nego-
tiations.
Paris, Feb. 6.-Turkey has
eapitulated on the chief point
under dispute at the Lausanne
conference. and threat of inn
mediate war in the near east is
somewhat further averted.

drawn from the parley, and the
French had made preparations to
follow. lsmet Pasha, Turkish

COLORFD TROOPS

But there is extremely delicate point which concerns
humanity at large rather than the relations between Ger
many and France.
The German cities the Rhine, which among the
most cultivated in the world and where the intellectual
level Of the population is the highest have been occupied
by numerous colored troops sent from France
The German municipalities have besn compelled not only
% pay I'll the expenses Of The occupation but also 20
furnish their women African negroes who but short
time ago were canAibals.
There have been the Rhine as many az seventeen
regiments Of $500 coored soldiers EACH from
France There was plenty Of variety negroes from Central
Africa, yellow men from Madagascar Of pronouncedy
Malay type Indo Chinese Of Monaghan race, Negroids,
brown men from North Africa, Arabs and Berbers.
War has its dire necessities and nobody thought Of pro-
testing when the Entente Powers brought coored
troops to Europe In order to fight Germany Only one
thing paramount in Victory The losers in the last
great war have found this out their cost the victos
have forgotten all their promises and have been guilty

FACTS TO BE MENDED.

At the Paris Conference Cemenceau wished to hand
Upper Slesa to Poland without further parey, merely
separate Germany much possible from Russia Finally
pebiscte agreed upon.
From military, economic and political point Of view,
Poland is entirely under French contro to give Upper
Sesia to Poland really meant handing her the
French metal industry But in spite of every violence
the population of Upper Sles voted by huge majority
about 60 cent of the total to remain part Of
Germany
In open disregard Of the result Of the plsbsct however
almost the whole Of Upper sesa adjudged Poland
especially the region of greater value to the metal industry
These facts Of economic nature although serious are
not irreparabe and will certainly be mended in future
for Europe could possibly continue live longer
in her present state Of economic chaos without finding
herself face to face with utter ruin.
But there is another fact which cannot be mended
atoned for namely the humiliation imposed upon the
pushed by the Of occupation the Rhine which has
lasted four and which would be continued in
definitely it quite certain that after the fifteen years
have elapsed Germany will still be unable fulfill i'm
possible terms imposed upon her.

Plea TO AMERICA

cannot but turn to the Congress Of the United
States the appeal which has been addressed There
certain questions Of human dignity which equally con-
all peoples and America which has the greatest
power, also has the greatest duties.
According to the declarations made by France to the
League Of Nations the first of January 1922 France
had at that time army Of $4,000 officers and $4,000
Germany is disarmed and powerless
France, with population about equal that Of Italy
maintains army three times and perhaps
four times efficient It is the most formidable army
which has existed in times of peace.
According to the statements of the French government
the army consists Of 100000 professional and other
ratings $4,000 conscripts 2e5O0O African and other
Colonial soldiers and 600 Of the Foreign Legion
Of these $4,000 according the French govern
men 10000 to guarantee the execution Of
the peace treaties occupy the colonies and $4,000
remain in France.
It an enormous army, especially when remember
that Germany has no longer regular army, is without
general staff But at rate France has $4,000 men
