LAUSANNE, July 25.--The Ameri-
can minister, Joseph c. Grew, ana the
chief Turkish delegate, lsmet Pasha'
held a night session that lasted until
4 o'clock this morning, but little
Srogress was made in solving the
problems of the projected Turko-
American treaty.
IT was denied categorically that the
United States asked for extension of
the authority of the foreign legal ad-
visers that Turkey has agreed to ap-
point in temporary substitution of
the former system of judicial extra
territorial privileges.
The Turkish spokesmen who made
the assertion last night declared the
Angora assembly would never ratify
more privileges to America than to
Europe.
The Americans today said they had
agreed to accept the terms OF the
Turkish declaration concerning ju-
dicial safeguards which lsmet Pasha
VIII send to the European states that
signed the general peace treaty yes
terday.
American Purpose Defined.
The Americans explained that in
attempting to draft a treaty they
had adhered constantly to the princi-
pies laid. down as u basis when the
the negotiation began. They had met
the Turks half way on details, but the
Ottoman delegates seemed to follow
policy of yielding nothing.
Claims advanced by American citi-
70 ing b. Irl- hs.,h hn
United States wishes to settle by ar
bitration and recognition by the
Turks Of the American nationaliza-
tlon laws continue to be points of
discord.
Mr.. Grew and Ismet Pasha. however,
agreed upon one thing during their
conference. This was 10 continue the
negotiations until an agreement was
reached or clearly shown to be i'm
possible. .....
lsnIet has recognized that separate
treaties require special stipulatlons To
meet special conditions ana the Amer
leans arc said to be conducting the
negotiations along this line without
attempting to secure general privi-
legcs which the Turks refused TO the
allies. The American and Turkish ex-
perts have called another meeting Tor
today.

Ing peace in the near east, bears the
signatures of Great Britain, France,
Italy. Japan, Greece, Rumania and
Turkey.
Simple ceremonies marking the term
lhatiOII of negotiations, wrlicn have en-
tel;ded over many months, were carried
out III the main hall of Lausanne CiTi-
NerSily yesterday afternoon, and when
the representatives of the various ma
tons, led by lsmet Pasha, had affixed
their signatures President Schurer OF
the SWISS confederation declared the
session adjourned, with the admonition !:
Let the closing thought be a bene-
diction'
An impressive demonstration acclaim
ing the signing of peace occurred in
Lausanne last night. The streets were
crowded with rejoicing multitudes many
coming from the country districts to

which dominates the city. were aglow

lights played across from the surround
ing hills.
