vides the method by which this gov

the allies having common application
to American citizens and American
interests. For that reason IL seems
unlikely that Mr.. Grew will proceed
with the separate treaty negotia-
tions to the point of signature before e
the peace treaty has been completed
and signed.
The substance of his informal con-
yersations with the Turkish delegates
at Lausanne, as he has transmitted
his reports to Washington, has pro-

with a view to ascertaining whether
a suitable basis could be found for
revision of existing treaties between
the United States and Turkey. These
conversations have reached a point
where the department considered it
opportune to authorize Mr.. Grew to
initiate more formal negotiations and
to this end full powers to negotiate
and sign a treaty or treaties of amity
and commerce with Turkey were tele-
graphed to Mr.. Grew on May 20. The
conclusion of such negotiations is. OF
course, dependent upon a satisfactory
adjustment of outstanding questions
between the two countries"
Negotiations Preliminary.
1t has been emphasized at the de-
partment that conversations between
Mr. Grew and the Turkirh delegation
at Lausanne and previous converse
tions of the same character at the
first session of the near east con-
ference have been wholly informal
and intended only to clear the way

thorized. The preliminary conversa- =

Washington government under dis
cussion at Lausanne have had to do
with the treatment to be accorded
American nationals in Turkey, which
has been taken care of in the capitu
lations, now to be displaced by spe
cific treaty agreement. These include
such questions as that of supplanting
the old consular courts with system
of foreign advisers in the Turkish
judicial system, and also the general
revision of the Turkish legal machin-
cry to bring it more into harmony
with western ideals and to separate
the question Of enforcement of Turk
ish law, so far as foreigners are con-
cerned, from the powers of the re-
ligious heads of that country.
On Economic Matters.
Most of these questions have been
taken care of in the peace treaty be-
ing negotiated at Lausanne between
the Turkish and allied governments
and it was not upon these phases OF
that treaty, but, rather, upon Geo.
nomic matters relative to conces-
sionary rights in Turkey, that the
first conference split.

treaty negotiations have reached
such stage that Washington of

Farmers Want Rehabilitation of Europe
(NnW York PnSt l

Farmers of the Middle West and Northwest are slowly but surely arriving the conclusion that their prosperity is largely dependent upon that of Europe The Evening Post publishes reports of several observers in close touch with opinion in the Farmer States" Former antagonism among agricul- tural interests to closer relationship between America and foreign nations has yielded to widespread be- lief that the United States should take decisive step toward the rehabilitation of the people the seas for until crippled Europe gets her feet and is able enter the markets for American crops and manufactured goods, it is felt throughout the great grain and livestock region that the return of pre-war prosperity in this country cannot be attained
 Reports from various States the Evening Post indicate that the farmer is beginning to many things that he did not understand before. He now that he was deceived the tariff issue High prices for the products he sells did materiaze but high prices for the manufactured things he buys did .materialze.
 policy of isolation has not brought prosperity to the farmers, who pretty well understand that there is close relationship between prostrate Europe and low prices for the products of American farms.
 As yet there has not been developed in the Middle West and Northwest any definite suggestions to just what the United States should do in order to help Europe. Senator Borahs proposal for a world economic conference is generally indorsed: in fact the conference idea has taken hold strongly among the Western agricultural interests.
 Intelligent leadership appears to be the chief need among the farmers. Hitherto. reports from q wide area indicate they have accepted facts many as- see have been unfounded They understand now for lnstoncc that appeals for policy of closer relation ship with Europe arc not mere carnations from Wall Street. they were told.

Well Known Local Men, Transport
ing Booze in Hudson, Overtaken
By Officers Travelling In
Ford; Six Shots Fired

After a spirited chase of several
miles, on the southern outskirts of
this city Sunday afternoon, A. r.
Toby and w. d. Zuick were taken
into custody by Sheriff G. w. Brady
and Officer Perry Boyd, charged
with the unlawful possession of in
toxicating liquor, seven quarts of
moonshine and still being taken as
evidence against them.
Tobey and Zuick attempted to
make their getaway in a Hudson
speedster owned and piloted by
Tobey and were pursued by the Off
GERS in the county Ford who fired
several shots at the fleeing car be-
fore a third vehicle coming in the
opposite direction caused them to
make a slight detour which some
what retarded their speed and made
their apprehension possible. Six
shots were fired at the car by the
officers before the men would stop,
five of the shots taking effect.
The two men were released from
custody after furnishing bonds to
the amount of $1,000 in each in
stance and upon being arraigned
before U. S. Commissioner S. j.
Bonnifield this morning waived pre-
liminary examination. The car was
placed in a local garage by Sheriff
Brady, subject to the order of fed
eral authorities, and probably will
be confiscated by the government.
Tobey is proprietor of the Index
bar, while Zuick has been engaged
in mining in the Kennedy district.
