The huge flag sank slowly t.
the foot of the pole, where Gen

ain will appeal to the League Of
Nations to intervene in the al
lies dispute with Turkey and
prevent war in the near east.

sion. demanded by the allies, an
nounced the situation threatened
world peace and that Britain
would lose no time in taking it
before the League.
American Ambassador Child, u.

ference note asking that the
open door" principle. be applied
to oil concessions under dispute.
Such concession, he claimed. should
not be monopolized by any single

oil fields brought the parley to
its present deadlock.
