Of the commission seriously believe
that the schedule adopted in May

consideration as affording an adap-

According to tie German views
that plan has not only been summar-

English financial authorities and the
bankers conference at Paris, but has
also been discarded by the commit
tee of neutral experts, who recently
submitted an exhaustive brief on the

Constantinoplc. Jan. oS.-(By A. P.)
The Turkish press considers the
Lausanne conference already moribund
and expresses gravest apprehension
over events to come. The Akcham says
that official circles regard war as in
evitable unless the League of Nations
finds a solution other than the British
proposals, acceptable to Turkey.
The Tcrjuman quotes an unnamed
official as cclaring that the govern
ment will maintain it's petition to the
end. and means war.
General pessimism is reflected among
the foreign officials. 1t is reported
that the Angora assembly will meet in
special session tomorrow, Mustapha
Kemal being on his way there from
Smyrna. The League of Defense has
also held an extraordinary meeting and
a council of ministers has been called.

 With rains reported at a number of points in Nebraska, Kansas, Ok lahoma and Texas and with fore cast of general rain or snow through out the entire winter crop belt west and southwest, the wheat mark CT encountered heavy selling, especial ly at the outset. A bearish summary which one of the big grain com panies here issued in regard to sup plies had an evident further de- pressing effect on values, the sug- gestion being that the world carry over of wheat at the end of the season July 1 would amount tc PAT 1000 900 bushels as compared with IFS, S,000.O00 bushels last year.

EMBARRASSMENT OF WOMEN WOULD MEAN
 END OF WARS, CLAIM

HUTCHINSON, kans., March 3,- Universal enfranchis sement of women would mean permanent world peace. in the opinion of Mrs. W. Y. Morgan, recently named as a delegate to the international suffrage conference in Rome, Italy, May 10-1S. Mrs. Nor gan is the wife of the editor of The Hutchinson News, who is former lieutenant governor of Kansas.
 "There is no doubt in my mind that the enfranchisement of women in Eu- rope would end war in Europe said Mrs. Morgan.
 .France, denied the privilege Of suffrage for women, apparently IS about to be plunged into another war. when the vote of the women them selves probably would have prevent ed it. I hope and believe that ever lasting peace will come to the world when women are given the opportun- ity to do their share in managing the governments of the world.
 "The Italian women are in the
