Dear BILL
My little daughter. aged nine. and
two of her little playmates in the
neighborhood had an appointment with
the dentist a few days ago For sew
eral days prior to the fatal day they
looked forward to the event as though
1t was to be a regular party OF candy
pull instead of tooth pull and they
could hardly wait for the appointed
time to arrive. All of which leads me
to wonder whether or not the dentist
really gave them a party and served
q menu something like this:
Consomme Iodine
Fiiet de Tooth-Tartar Sauce
Rubberdam Salad
OIL of Cloves Dressing
Crushed Molars
Soregum Molasses Candy
I Scream Pie o'Rear
Cement Cake with Porcelain Filling
Needless to say, a party of the kind
suggested would prove a "howling
success.

IN MOSUL OIL ISSUE
Insist That Lausanne Pact
Shall Send Dispute to
League of Nations.
CURZON NOTE WITHHELD
Delays Letter to League in Hope
That Turks May Change Minds.
u. S. Position Outlined.
By the Associated Press.


LAUSANNE, January 24.-British
spokcsmen at the Near East confer
cnce anfounced today that they would
insist that a clause he inserted in the
projected treaty with Turkey to pro-
vide that the dispute over the Mosul
OH district be referred to the league
of nations for examination and deci-
Ston.
Meanwhile, it was said. the Mosul
incident would not be permitted to
interfere with the continuation of the
conference or with the presentation
of the allied treaty draft, which is
almost completed. Lord Curzon's
letter to the league of nations, which
he announced last night as foreign
secretary of the British empire. he
would send, appears to be temporarily
withheld in the hope that the Turks
may change their mind and accept
his proposal to refer the Mosul prob
lem to the league.
Lord Curzon held a lengthy con-
ference with NJ. Bompard and Marquis
di Garroni. heads of the French and
Italian delegations, respectively. to-
day, to determine the future pro-
2cedure.
= An important American feature of
last nights dramatic meeting was
statement read by Ambassador Child
outlining the position of the United
States. :
Mr.. Child said that Lord Curzon
had clearly indicated that the British
government would hold aloof as far
s possible from making concessions
in Mesopotamia, otherwise called Irak,
The subject of deepest interest, and
he had declared his belief in the
principle that large factors in the
worlds resources should not become
the subject Of monopolistic develop
ment
The representatives were glad to
associate themselves with the intent
Of Lord Curzon's remarks on this
subject; they had expressed their gov
ernments policy, but neither the state
nor adherents had reference to any
particular resource or field of. eco
romic activity Only those who viii
FULLY perverted these declarations had
read into them meanings which suited
their own political ends.
Ambassador Child continued:
The American representatives feel
1t their duty to refer to Lord CurZon'S
specific mention of the validity of the
claims of the Turkish petroleum COM
pany and TO remind the conference
that, without seeking special priv
ilege or favor, the government of the
United States has not assented to the
principle that 1t may be dissociated
in the rights of peace from the usual
consequences of association in war
nor in other cases where another
principle is involved, will 1t abandon
its policy of the open door.
We refer to the substantial cor
respondence our government has
already accumulated under two sue
cessive administrations in the United
States. So far as means to7furnish
protection to. legitimate American
interests is at their hands, 1t does
not affect the duty of the American
representatives whether the identity
of American rights is associated with
r. comm ercial or any other American
interest"
Mr.. Child concluded by saying that
Lord Curzon's reference to certain

which. according to the; British. there
will be a clause providing that the
Mosul question be submitted 10 the
league. Unless the Turks change
their mind this will be suf1cient TOT
them to refuse to sign the treaty
Then, Lord CurZon said last nignt.

near east
U. s.-Turk Treaty Considered.
AS the American delegates here are
systematically preparing notes TOT a
possible treaty of amity ana cYn
merce between Turkey and the ontlea %
States. they have lively interess ~
the decisions Of the conference. "hich
is now approaching its climax.
The United States has no regular
Diplomatic relations with Turkey AT
present, having failed TO recognize
the government set up by the ma
tionalists under. Mustapba kemai
Pasha. The proposed treaty, tnere-
fore, would provide for the resuHp-
tion Of official relations.
In this the broad doctrine OF eqIsi-
ity of opportunity which John Hay.
as Secretary of State, enunciated for
the far east would presumably play
an important role, as Mr.. Child mas
como out for extension of this doc-
trine to the near east during the oe-
Hberations here.
1t is understood that the French
also are negotiating with the Iurks
a special treaty of commerce, whicn
may stand as an annex to the general
Lausanne peace. The French position
is that. under the application of the
doctrine of most-favored nation
treatment, all other countries would
benefit by the general clauses OF the
French treaty.
