MOVE TO FORT|FY
/. STRAITS REPORTED
Turkey Declared Seeking
Frances Consent to
Arming DardaneIIes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSs.
PARIS, December 24.-Turkev was
represented in informed Partisan
quarters last night to be seeking
Frances consent to the fertilization
Of the strategic Dardanelles in prep
aration for a mutual assistance pact
against any Italian attack.
Today's visit to Premier Pierre Laval
by Tevflk Rustu AraS, Turkish foreign
minister. was considered highly i'm
portant by diplomatic onlookers. OFF,
cials said. however, as far as they
knew, the question of fortification was
not raised.
Fernand de Brinon. friend Of NJ.
Laval, wrote in the newspaper
Information that Turkeys price
for complete cooperation is not only
the abolition of the freedom Of the
straits under the Treaty Of Lausanne.
but eventually the return of Rhodes
to Turkey or special regime for that
| island"
Under Italian Sovereignty.
Rhodes, de Brinon added, "is i'm
portant for control Of the Ottoman
Coast" The island has been under
italian sovereignty since 1923.
The Dardanelles. famous since
Xerxes' army crossed on a bridge of
boats to enter Europe in 4S0 B. c.,
with the more easterly Bosphoros
Straits provided the first gateway be-
tween Europe and Asia.
About 40 miles long and from l TO
miles wide, the narrow Dardanelles
passage unites the Seat of Marmora
and the Aegean Sea. Rhodes lies in
the latter.
Under the Treaty of Lausanne the
Dardanelles and Bosphorous regions
were demilitarized. Prior to the World
| War, under a treaty with the great
| powers, Turkey could bar the passage
to any non- Turkish ship.
UtS military and naval Importance
was proved conclusively in 1915 when
the allies attempted, with complete
| failure. to force the DardanellesD
There was feeling in official circles
that France would not be inclined to
support the fortification request be-
cause it would, necessarily, involve
treaty revision.
De Brinon also asserted that Spain,
because of internal complications, has
delayed her reply to Britain's "feeler"
on the question of aid in case Of 4
Mediterranean attack.
Laval Sees CerrutI.
NJ Laval also discussed Mediter-
ranean aid plans with Nicolas Socrate
Politis Of Greece and saw Vittorio Ger
ruti, the italian Ambassador.
He was understood to have told Ger
ruti that he could not undertake 10
negotiate new peace terms.
In usually informed quarters a
French hope that Ethiopian rains soon
will halt Italy's war, obviating the
necessity for League Of Nations oil
sanctions, was disclosed.
Other sources disclosed that the
Soviet Union is seeking a 1000, 900 600
franc Cabout s66 1000 .O00) loan in this
| country to finance Soviet purchases
from French factories.
Whether or not the proposed pur-
Chases involve war materials was not

JUDEA PILGRIMS
PRAY FOR PEACE
Bethlehem Worshipers al
Christ's Birthplace Ask
End of War.

(copyright. 1885. by the Associated Presso
BETHLEHEM, December 24.-The
PRAYERS of Christian pilgrims for an
end to the Italo- Ethiopian war min
gled today with the pealing OF bells
hailing anew the birth of Jesus OF
Nazareth.
Throughout the day thousands of
worshipers from many lands poured
into Bethlehem to celebrate Christ
mas eve in this little market town
where 2 1000 years ago the Magi found
the newborn Jesus in manger.
Some trudged laboriously on foot,
Others rode in automobiles along the
broad highway from Jerusalem, 8
miles away.
Symbol of Star to Be Seen.
At midnight, a symbol of the star
of Bethlehem which guided the three
wise men long ago will be set ablaze
above the altar in the Church of the
Nstivity-built directly over the spot
where the Christ Child is believed to
have been born.
Then in the dim half light, with
medieval effect. priests with swing
ing censers will group themselves
before a curtained niche in the
tranSept.
The great congregation will shout
"Halelujah!" as the patriarch draws
aside the curtain to disclose an efhgy
Of the Holy Child.
To Heral Christmas Day.
Again the bells will peal out, herald
ing Christmas day. The effigy will be
borne to the narrow grotto beneath the
trsnsept, which is accepted as the
actual site of the humble manger
where Christ was born.
Twinkling candles light the dark
little grotto, so that only twoscore
worshipers may enter at one time to
kneel and kiss the holy spot.
Outside the air is sharp with a
touch of frost, but there is no white
cleaning snow, holly or mistletoe.
Spend Evening in Field.
Instead of Sleighing parties, hum
dreos of young men and women pill
grimis spend the evening in Shepherds
Field outside Bethlehem, reputedly
the site where the humble folk of
Judea beheld the heavenly visitation.
There whole sheep are roasted and
eaten with Arab bread. spiced with the
fragrant aroma of olive trees still
dotting the hills as they did in the
time of Christ.
Around the blazing bonfires old
familiar carols and hymns swell to
the skies:
Silent night, holy night 80"
