TURKS l N ' l I [ ] T0 RSUMPT |0N IF PEACE CONF ERE NCE
Note From the Allies Ex- cludes Any New
 Proposals

LONDON, April 1.-The British foreign office has issued the text of an identical note from the allies ad- dressed to Ismet Pasha. head of the Turkish delegation, which has the Near East peace pro posals in charge, inviting the Turks to a resumption of the peace conference at Lausanne.
 The note excludes from discussion any new proposals involving sub stantial modification of the territo- rial provisions already agreed upon but offers to accept in principle Tur- keys proposed redrafting of the con : vention relating to the judicial status of foreigners in Turkey. The only stipulation is that the powers cannot be regarded as pledged to anything in the Lausanne treaty as recently suggested.
 With regard to ismet Pasha's re quest that the economic clauses should be negotiated subsequently, between the interested parties the note says explicitly that the confer ence clauses must be rediscussed at Lausanne concommittantly, but adds: '''fhe inviting powers believe IL sh6uld he possible in the course of
  of some mutual concessions, to ar rive at an agreement upon clauses of this nature to be inserted in the treaty"
 The note explains with reference to the security of foreign capital and enterprises in Turkey that the allied powers already have invited some or their nationals interested to negG- tiate direct with the Turkish gov ernment. and it suggests that the success of such negotiations would greatly facilitate the conclusion of peace.
 Continuing. the note says that only in the event of the failure of such negotiat tions within reasonable tune would the allies have tt insist on the assertion in the treaty of detail pro visions apDroximating those appear ing in the draft agreement of Janu- : arv 2 in order to safeguard the vital interests Of their nationals.
 "For the nest" 1t is added, Tt Wlil be possible to deal with some ot the other econC mic clauses in more general manner. if necessary, leav- ing certain details to be settled bN subsequent negotiations between the Turkish government and each gov ernment interested.
 The note concludes with an eNpres- : sion of the conviction that with equal good will on both sides at Lausanne # will be possible to conclude peace without difficulty

JOHN BULL NOT AS BAD OFF AS HE THOUGHT
Check Reveals More Funds Which
 Will Go on National Debt

LONDON. April l.-The extreme difficulty experienced by chanceliors of the exchequer after the war. in es timating correctly the nations ac- counts a year ahead is shown by the figures for the fiscal year ended March 31. Instead of a surplus of be- tween six and million pounds sterl- ing. as estimated by the former chancellor, Sir Robert $. Horne the surplus actually exceeds f101. 100000, which by law goes automatically to the reduction of the national debt unless parliament should pass spe- cial act disposing of it otherwise.
 This big surplus is mainly due tp unexpectedly large reductions ir expenditures.
 On tbe revenue side, although the income tax was reduced. it produced $50. 000. 900 more than was estimat cd while the excess profits duty and sale of war stores together produced t24,- 900. 900 less than estimated.
 The question now uppermost in the nations mind is where the budget statement Chancellor Baldwin will submit a week hence will afford any further relief from taxation. The chancellor is being bombarded with demands for such reductions and there is general expectation of a re- duction on the income tax with relief in the beer and sugar duties.

NEW YORK. April 1.--(3 ciated Press)-American e
 is checked and information ealA ation of the Kellogg act, t5a munication retarded upon Il 5ts@ Carlton. president of the Union Teiegraph company dec e submitting the annual report corporation for 1922.
 The report dseloses net inc zs4 si5.15S,fS0, after deductinS all ating expenses, including Inter aa outstanding bonds amountin g sa,3oe, $50. and sl,63ee,56 as eml n9cs income participa ton. This is ees parable to net income in 1921 of sasa3.SoS.
 The gross operating revenue or Sio5.iii.ItS was an increase of Sl,- tgs, ,656 or i2 per cent over 1921, the report showing land line revenues during the first half year were 2.2 per cent less than for the correspond ing period the previous year, and 90 ger cent greater during the last six months than during the compara sve period of 1921.
 There was a decline in ocean cable avenues, due, Mir. Carlton states, to Inc condition of foreign commerce 8aiid the effect of wireless comped- ton at low rates. Total operating expenses were reduced by S2,307,S0S.
 The sum of s2.ooo.ooo was ap- proved for ocean cable development work and the balance of net income amounting to $if,l5S,1So was trans ferrcd to the surplus account, from which dividends of s6,9Se, e,6a4,2o were paid. The surplus account December II, i9se2, was $i6,S5t537.
 Knocks Radio.
 Comparing cable and radio com munlcation Mr. Carlton points out that the 2a-hour capacity of the IT transatlantic cables is approximately a5o.oee words, allowing .5 per cent for cables temporarily out of order. The capacity of radio, he says. is proba bly, half of this. making a com pined capacity approximately S25.- creates keen competition with an in- evitable adjustment of rates.
 The radio" he states, has made substantial progress not only in im- proved service, but in capturing addi tonal business with low rates from he cable companies. The advantages still lie with the cables, but they need waking up.
 An important advantage enjoyed Ly the radio is right to expand at WUl, without the 1ntermlnaDle ana expensive delays suffered by the ca hle companies under the working of the Kellogg act. Whatever may have been the governments purpose in supporting this measure, the result has been to make it's interpretation and enforcement a departmental mat ter of government routine by which American enterprise is checked and international retarded.
 Mr. Carlton states il is difficult to understand what advantage the gov crnment derives in withholding . landing license for an American ca Dle. while for all practical purposes the radio companies may build and operate stations at viii.

ANY ONE MAY GROW EXCLUSIVE BURBERRY
It's Special Soil Requirements Are
 Discovered

WASHINGTON, April f.-it is now possible for almost anyone to cultivate in the home garden the once exclusively wild blueberry.
 This has been made possible through the discovery of the berry s special requirements through the ex- perimental scientific work of Dr. r.. V. Coville, of the United States de- partment of agriculture. and the practical cultural methods developed, in conjunction with the department. by Miss Eliza beth C. White on the cranberry property of her father at Whitesbog. x. J.
 The spring planting season may make some of the now available in formation of interest to the home gardener.
 These experiments have shown that blueberries prefer light sandy. acid soil containing an abundance of partially routed vegetable matter or peat. If natural blueberry soil is not available, your garden may easily be prepared by mixing with the surface soil liberal quantity of partially or chip dirt from an old wood pile. If the soil is clay, the addition of some sand will benefit it.
 The highbush blueberry, which is the kind that Is usually cultivated. loves an abundance of moisture. If the bushes must be planted in dry location, four inch mulch of leaves. sawdust, lawn clippings, or other loose material should be placed around them. Such a mulch will con- serve the moisture in the soil and keep the soil cool. This mulch should be left on the year around and fresh material added every year. During extended periods of dry weather an occasional thorough watering will be very beneficial.
 For the commercial culture of blue berries. soil which naturally suits them should be selected. The com mercial fields planted so far have been in an acid peat or muck soil that stays moist throughout the growing season. A soil containing some sand is to be preferred, Land on which highbush blueberries are growing vigorously is undoubtedly suited to the cultivated varieties. Tn many parts of the country land suit able for blueberries is now lying waste and may be purchased cheaply.

States, Great Britain and Europe, ia mounting to important figures, the investor will no doubt show an in creasing interest in the question of the adequacy or inadequacy of radio rates.
 One of the chief handicaps of ca : bles, he says, is that IA of the r transatlantic cables land the shores of England. To meet the demaNds of continental Europe, he states. the companies should either reduce the number of cables terminating in Eng land by extending or by laying new cables direct to the continent.
 Regardless. however, of the way the question of competition between cables and radio may be decided or of the downward trend of rates, MT. Carlton states it should be borne in mind that more than 90 per cent Of the income available for dividends in 1922 came from the Western Union s system of land lines.
