Tense witnesses.

sinister figure Of Russia, urging
Turkey to defy the allies and max
ing promises of assistance.
Russia wants q strong Turkey,
believing that a defensive alliance
between Moscow and Angora will be
the final outcome OF Near East de-
velopments. The Russian believe
that, If the Turks can get all Of
Thrace and Mesopotamia, Turkey,
with Russian support, will be able
to demand sovereignty over the
Turkish straits. This is the goal
of Russian ambitions. It would bar
foreign warships from menacing the
Russian Black sea coast.
The Petit Partisan refused to get
alarmed, over the breakdown Of the
Lausanne conference.
There is no immediate danger, -
said the Petit Partisan. Reported
iperils in. the Near East should not
be taken too seriously. Islnet Pasha
declares the rupture 10 not final,
because the allies have not yet mott
fled him that the conference is at
an end"
The Petit Journal took just the
opposite view.
1.-THE only consideration which
permit any optimism at all is that
the Turks are not in q position to
resume hostilities against the
Greeks" said the Petit Journal.

u. S. to Make Treaty
With Turkey Despite
Break at Lausanne

Inc UnlLeQ states VIII proceed
with the negotiation of a treaty OF
"amity and commerce" with Turkey
despite the breakdown OF the Lau-
same conference, it was learned
here today in official quarters.
Never having been at war with
Turkey, and not being a direct
party to the disputes that have
again brought the Near East situa-
ton to the verge of renewed war
fare, the American position was of.
ficially described as being largely
unaffected by the collapse az Lau'
same.
Has Unabridged Rights.
The United States has existing
treaty rights with Turkey that
have never been abridged or abro.
gated, and these win be insisted
upon by this Government in the
light of recent developments which
make a new treaty desirable, it was
said. In addition to such rights
this Government will insist upon
the open door and equal oppor-
tunity'' for American investors in
Turkish territory, laid down by
oCCESLdIy Va SLdIo I1uSAcS ia HIS
memorandum of instructions to Am.
bassador Child at Lausanne when
the Near East conference opened.
The "open door," protection of
religious and racial minorities, and
maintainence of the right to try
American lawbreakers in American
consular courts, instead of in
Turkish courts, are the chief points
Of the American program.
Consider Situation Grave.
1t is assumed here that Ambassa.
dor Child at Lausanne will proceed
with the treaty negotiations shortly,
in view of the breakdown of the
Lausanne parley, and officials do
not forsee any serious difficulties.
The State Department was of.
| ficially advised today Of the col.
lapse Of the conference. although
| details have not yet arrived.
Officials were inclined today to
view the Near Eastern situation
with it's threat Of war between
Great Britain and Turkey with un
| disguised gravity.

BIGGER SHRINE
LIST NEEDS
NEW PLAN
Estimates to Entertain 100
Temples Found Too Meager
on Latest Reports.

Though the coming session of the
Imperial Council of the Mystic
Shrine, to be held in Washington
next June, is still four months
away, all but twenty mine of the
156 Shrine Temples in the world
have already registered for quar-
tiers here.
When Washington was selected
last June as the site for the coming
session it was predicted that this
session would by far exceed any
session in history. In the face Of
the record, made at San Francisco,
where ninety-four temples register
ed and 23S,000 Shriners were in at
tendance, predictions that there
would be more than 100 temples
present in Washington were secuted.
After the registration began, how
ever, Almas Temples 1928 commit
tee issued an estimate that 125 tenn
pies would be present in Washing
ton in June. This estimate was
reached February /, and the regis
tratiOns continue undated.
Two additional temples registered
today with EIlwood p. Morey, chair
man OF the hotel and housing COM
mittee, smashing the estimates and
leading to a great broadening of the
plans for the session. 1t is now
considered likely that by the end of
May las temples will be in line.
The temples listed today are Kar-
max. of Montreal, Canada, and Sc
sostris. of Lincoln, Neb. Karnak is
the last OF the large temples in Can
ada; three others having registered
up to this time. The Karnak dele
CATION, including the patrol and
band, will come in twelve Pullman
cars, which will furnish sleeping
quarters during the session. Sesos-
iris temple will send its patrol and
cf1anters.
Every temple in New York State
has been listed, this State having
been divided into nine jurisdictions.
The mother temple of the Shrine,
Mecca Temple, Of New York City,
will send at least 10000 people, &C
cor1ing to preliminary estimates.
The temples at Syracuse and
Rochester are also planning to send
record delegations to Washington.
Motion pictures will be called to
the aid Of the publicity committee
in spreading to all Washin gtonians
the immensely of the coming ses-
sion, it was announced today. A
film showing certain phases of the
San Francisco session of last June
will be shown before the Columbia
Heights Citizens Association by
Edgar C. Snyder. chairman of the
entertainment committee and United
States Marshal for the District Of
Columbia, at meeting at s o'clock
