TURKS TO REOPEN
ECONOMIC ISSUES
Struggle for Oil Fields Seen
at Bottom of Lausanne
ParIey Deadlock.

BY the Associated Press.
LAUSANNE, July 16.-The Turkish
delegation to the near east conference
announced today that it has accepted
the proposal of the allies to reopen
joint meetings of the experts in an at
tempt to agree upon satisfactory formu-
iae concerning the questions yet in dis
pute, which had been holding up the
conference, notably those concerning
concessions in Turkey. The allies made
this proposal last night in an effort to
break the deadlock.
In the opinion of neutral Swiss
newspapers the international strug-
gle for possession of oil fields
has reached the surface in the
present Lausanne conference, as it did
at Genoa, at The Hague and at the
first Lausanne gathering. They base
this view on the Turkish note of yes
terday, which referred to the cropping
up in the conference of conflicting in
terests for which the Turks disclaimed
responsibility.
The Journal de Geneve points out that
the Royal Dutch Company Is behind the
Turkish petroleum company, accounting
for England's keen desire to obtain con-
f1rmation In the treaty for the conces-
sion. which includes the Mosul oil
! fields. 1t thinks the Americans, on the
other hand, desire to support the big
American oil interests through the
Chester concession, providing for the ex-
ploitation Of a belt approximately twelve
! and one-half miles wide on each side
of the railroad which 1t is proposed to
build to Mosul.

VETERANS RELIEF
MEASURES SOUGHT
Disabled Men to Press Big
Legislative Program in
Next Congress.
SNAPSHOTS

A legislative program calling for
adjusted compensation for world war
veterans and affecting their rehabilita-
tion, hospital care and insurance will
be pressed upon Congress when it con-
venes in December by the Disabled
American Veterans Of the World War.
The program. based on recommenda-
tions adopted by the third annual con-
vention of the organization held recent
ly at Minneapolis, was announced here
today.
The proposals provide a rating of
total permanent disability for veterans
who have been given hospital care for
twelve consecutive months. and that all
treated at home shall receive the same
family allowance as given veterans
Bureau trainees. An effort also Will
be made to have all veterans recon-
mended for permanent total disa bility
rating carried on this roll temporarily
pending final award. Total disability
ratings will be sought for men entitled
to training. which has been declared
not to be feasible, and rating of 90
per cent permanent disability will be
asked for men discharged from hos
pitfalls with diagnoses Of arrested or
Quiescent tuberculosis.
Amendment of the civil service laws
will be proposed to place disabled vet
Grams who attain a passing grade in
an examination at the head of the
eligible list.
The program would make woman vet
Grams who are i'll or in need eligible
to enter any home maintained by the
government for veterans, with pro-
vision for a separate home for them
when their number warrants. The
benefits OF the Veterans Bureau act
also are sought for the bureaus nurses
having bedside contact with patients.

ROME. July 16.-Amid scenes
rarely enacted in any chamber, Pre-
mier Mussolini last night won vote
of confidence from the chamber of
deputies with a margin of 163 votes
on his electoral reform bill.
Before the vote was taken he har-
apgucd the deputies in his accus-
TONED style. His fiery address was
punctuated with outbursts of ap-
plause both from the benches and
the galleries. The emotional wave
swept lis auditors into songs and
wild demonstrations. The vote was
3O3 to 140, seven not voting.
The hill changes the system under
which the present chamber is chosen

In his advocacy Mussolini did not
plead; he commanded. He empha-
sized his points with loud bangs OF
his heavy fists on the rostrum.
What l.; liberty?" he asked. and
answered. Liberty is not license. We
have crossed the road where it has
eased to be license"
Turning to the socialists and COM
munists again. to whom he directed
many OF his sallies, he said the So
clalists always assert that there is
liberty and elamor for liberty to
work
Yet these same socialists" he
added. do not hesitate to commit in
1uries against free work. In Russia
IS there liberty of assembly, of the
press, of parliament. or other lib
erties?"
And the chamber hurled back the
answer: No"

in police court today on charges of

deserted the Aquitania. proved that
he had never been on her.
Two other cases were taken as
tests. The prosecuting solicitor said
the proceedings were not instituted
to embarrass the United States lines
but with view to vindicating the
rights of British shipping companies
to maintain discipline aboard their
own vessels.
. The Cunard line has lost 600 men
through desertion in four months. and

Midwest Plays Host

THERMOPOLIS. The Midwest
Refining company was host to sew
eral hundred people at their Grass
Creek camp. the occasion being the
opening of the new Midwest club
house.
The new community home built
by the Midwest Refining company
for the employees is a large modern
building with dance hall and loung-
ing and reading room occupying
half of the building. while the other
half is used as a billiard and card
room.
Cigars. tobacccs. candles and soft
drinks are also handled in this part
of the club.
On the opening night the Gebo or
chestra furnished the music for the
dance and the floor was packed with
employees OF the Midwest and Ohio
camps and n large number of Their
mopolis people who were fortunate
enough to enjoy the hospitality of
the club management. About 20
cars went out from Thermopolis.
Ice cream. cake and coffee was
served the guests at the Midwest
dining room.
The club was opened by Col.
Burke H. Sinclair. who in a very
pleasing address. told of the conduct

with his advice and guidance, the
club will be a real benefit to the

Foreign Conditions

Tbere- are many indications that AFFAIR." II,
Europe may be moving definitely toward a ter
mination of the deadlock which has existed be-
tween France and Germany over the question
of Preparations since the occupation of the Ruhr
last January.
1t appears that the new German administra-
tion Is taking n more sensible view of the coun-
trys plight, and is urging a campaign of digging
in and crawling out from under, in the only way
for n state or individual to settle claims against
them. Heretofore the Berlin government has
held the workers in the Ruhr district to q policy
of passive resistance.
The whole German problem turns upon the
settlement of the PREPARATIONS question, and un.
til that difficulty is removed there will be slow
betterment in the economic condition of the con-
tinent.
The strangling effect of the French occupa.
tion is being felt more keenly day by day. Am.
erican official observers report that German
imports during the period from January to May
inclusive, of this year declined in comparison
except raw materials and products for further
was nearly 30 per cent. Foodstuffs and bever.
ages declined more than 20 per cent. German
exports declined in every chief group, shipments
of raw materials and partly finished products
being only about half the 1922 monthly average,
and finished goods declining by about 30 per
cent. Wheat imports for this five months period
in 1923 were 80 per cent less than during the
corresponding period in 1922, and 1t is predict
ed that n progressive reduction of exports, in
creased imports of coal and certain other raw
materials, and n further increase of Germany's
unfavorablc trade balance will continue as long
as tho present situation in the Ruhr persists.

MOTHERS OF VICTIMS
OF MINE TRAGEDY MAY
LOSE COMPENSATION

CHEYENNE. wyo.. Sept. 2e.-
The mothers of a dozen miners who
lost their lives in the recent dis
aster nea Kemmerer, in which 80
miners were killed, may receive no
insurance from the Wyoming work
mems compensation fund because
the sons, at the time they entered
the employ of the Kemmerer Coal
company. entered upon their COM
%pensation records mo dependents"
Whether the mothers are to receive
compensation from the state fund
will depend on the decision of Judge
John A Arnold OF the Third Judicial
district. The mothsrs' claims total
about $4,000.
Payment of compensation claims
resulting from the recent disaster
has depleted the Kemmerer Goa
company's credit in the workmen's
compensation fund and left an over
draft of s135 ,051.19 against the cor
p%oration's credit. Until this over
draft is paid the company will be re-
quired to pay into the workmen's
compensation fund 8 per cent OF its
pay roll, instead of the customary
IL per cent.
Reports hat the Remmerer mine
disaster payments had bankrupt the
workmen's compensation fund are
absurd. After payment of all claims.
there remains in the fund over
S600, 900.

cred a stirring sermon in the evang-
elistic tent on Center street. He
took as his subject Some Nuts o
Skeptics to Crack"
Mr.. Kramer designated today as
Kindness Day" in Casper. He
asked everyone IN tho audience to
remember to do at least ono deed
of kindness during the day and
promised that as q result Casper
would be a happier city tonight.
In his plea for more consideration
for the bible, Mr.. Kramer told OF the
fight on the bible that had been
made by Ingersoll who assumed that
a belief in God was incompatible
with reason.
mo man" said Mr.. Kramer, DE
lieves that something from
nothing. II there was a creation
there must be a creator. You have
only to sec the heavenly bodies per-
form their duties with cloclriike reg
ularity to realize that behind It all
there must be a master mind"
Ingersoll contended that all the
miracles were frauds perpetrated on
The people for the benefit Of those
who performed them.
I'VE are performing greater mir
acles today than was ever performed
in the days of bible history said
the evangelist. I'VE are making the
lame to walk and the blind to see
and only a few days ago a mans
life was saved after he had been
stabbed in the heart.
I'm the days to come we shall per-
form even greater miracles for the
miracle is in Its infancy. Man shall
have dominion. God said, and even
greater things shall ye do
"Ingersoll refused to believe in tho
authorship of the books of the bible.
On the same grounds we might re-
fuse to believe in the authorship of
Shakespeare. OF Bunyan, of Milton.
Only by history and by tradition can
we prove that these men wrote their
respective works. On tho same
ground I base my belief that the
books OF the e testament were
written by the apostles.
"Ingersoll maintained that the
bible contradicted itself. My friends.
in all that wonderful work. there Is
not n contradiction as any one
who has studied It thoroughly will
testify.
THE bible is the trinity of all lit.
