LAUSANNE, June 23.-The attempt
today by the allies and Turks to
clarity the critical situation which
has arisen In the near east confer
astrous in another.
Toward the end Of the session,
which lasted well into the night, the
Turks announced that they could not
discuss the problem of concessions at
Lausanne until the question Of the
evacuation of foreign troops from
Turkey and the question of the Otto
man debt were satisfactorily dis
posed Of.

government"
The meeting got nowhere on the
big unsettled questions.
An agreement was reached on
one Important point today, namely
that England and Turkey mutually
engage to. settle the Mosul con-
troversy= between themselves within
nine months after the signature of
peace. falling which England will
bring the controversy to the league
OF nations for settlement by arbi-
tration.
Turkey asked for years delav
but England wanted te limit the
period OF the private negotiations to
SIX months. compromising finally on
nine months.
Debate ON Troops.
The general impression among the
allies tonight Is that they will. be
reluctantly compelled to frame the
text OF a treaty and present it to
the Turks, If they hope ever to reach
an end of the Lausanne conference
The Turks tried to get something
definite from the allies respecting the
evacuation of foreign troops from
Turkey. but the allies replied tina,
the date OF the evacuation could be
arranged only when other important
outstanding questions were settled
because evacuation depended on peace
and peace hinged on an agreement
over subjects such as concessions
meeting was whirled in circle.
The question of the payment OF
the interest on the Ottoman debt was
not attacked. because the Italian gov.
ernment has not yet forwarded fina
instructions to it's delegation and 9

The Turks today issued a com.
muniQue stating that the Turkish
army in Anatolia was not being
strengthened, but charging the French
with reinforcing their army on the
that the French occupy dominating
points on the frontier and are using
armored cars in military demonstra.
