was expressed confidently by Prime
Minister Churchill today in an IN
formal address to British troops be-
fore moving on to confer with some
very important people who came q
very long way. both from the east
and the west"

Mr.. Churchill declared that the wal
'is going WE'LL" but added:

his usual veteran skill and, Of

presumably he was alluding to the
former.

gone to the conference pre-
pared to discuss all angles of
Turkeys new relationship with
the Allies and to the war" The
dispatch declared that there
seems little doubt that the con-
ference is in preparation for
Turkish entry into the war, al
though military action may still
be delayed for a couple Of
months.")
No Empty Handed Gesture.
Few here believed that the three
days of conferences-at least one of
which was attended by the British
American general staffs-were an
empty-handed gesture or that the
three government heads did not
have something definite in mind in
placing the following words in the
communique:
The study of all our problems in
spirit of understanding and 10y
atty showed that the closest unity
existed between the United States
of America, Turkey and Great Brit
ain in their attitude toward the
world situation. The conversat tions
in Cairo have consequently, been
most useful and most fruitful for
future relations between the four
countries concerned"
The Soviet Ambassador to Tur-
key, Sergei A. Vinogradov. joined
most Of the sessions, but, while the
comnaurique asserted that the ''tra-
ditior&lrelations of friendship" be-
tween the Turks and; the Russians
WefSFfea fflrmed, there was no meH-
ton of Russia in that part of the
communique which declared the ex-
istence of closest unity"
Further Meetings Held.
Among the significant events OF
the conference were two last-minute
meetings; Of President Inonu and
Tuskisla 6eesntary Nuanan MeneaI-
encioglu with British Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden and the Brit
ish Ambassador to Ankara, Hughe
Knatchbull -Hugesson. They met on
the afternoon of December 6 and
again for more than two hours yes
terday morning.
These sessions apparently drew
President Inonu in on the same sub
jects discussed by Mr. Eden and Mr..
Menemencioglu in Cairo when the
British foreign secretary was re-
turning from the October tripartite
conference in Moscow. There was
wide speculation at that time that
possible cession of Turkish bases to
Britain on roughly the same basis
as use of the Azores was acquired
from Portugal had been under dis
cussion.
The prevailing opinion on the
just-concluded conference seems to
be that although immediate de-
velopments will not necessarily fol-
low, President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill hardly would
have invited President Inonu to
Cairo unless they had something
definite in mind. And the Turkish
President would not have accepted
unless he had something to ask
and give.
So far as could be learned off,
cially none of the principals at the
conference saw any member of the
exiled Yugoslav and Greek govern
ments who are here, including King
Peter or King George. And if either
exiled government was pleased at
the outcome of the meeting, they
gave no outward indication.
GA Reuters dispatch from Cairo
said. however, that Mr.. Eden met
King George and his premier,
E. J. Tsouderos and King Peter.
Mr.. Churchill was reported to

Turkish Military Partnership
With Allies Seen EventuuIity

Needed equipment presumably
could be provided under Lease-Lend
although 1t would take time to train
the Turkish soldiers to use it. The
British have sent some equipment
to Turkey already, but it probably
consists largely Of small arms
Oddly enough, and indicating Ger
man concern over Turkish neutral
lty, the Nazis are said to have con-
tinued their limited shipments of
military equipment to Turkey, de-
spite that country's increasingly evi-
dent drift toward the Allied camp
The greatest contribution Turkey
could make to the Allies, however
would be the cession of airbases and
permission to use the Sea of Mar
mora and its excellent ports, includ-
ing Istanbul, to land Anglo -Ameri-
can forces for an offensive through
the Merich Valley into Bulgaria.

ish soil would permit the retaking o1
the islands and the opening of the
Aegean Sea under Allied air cover.
Opening the Aegean and the use
OF the Dardanelles -Marmora- -Bos-
phorous area, would clear the most
favorable invasion route into the
Balkans, the Marich Valley, which
leads past Adrianople into the heart
OF Bulgaria, almost to Sofia. A
simultaneous large-scale attack or

good chance Of success. permitting q

Valley, however, is narrow, and more

would make such reports at al ex-

today, while the London Daily Mail
declared that declaration was
expected to be made in AnAara

One Turkish view of the signifi-
canoe of the conference came mean
while from the Ankara radio, which
said that ''large-scale operations and
a decisive battle are very close at
hand" The broadcast, recorded by
Reuters, said the Cairo communique
can he summed up in these words:
It Is a complete agreement on the
problems of war and peace
The communique was reported to
have started a whirlwind of diplo-
matte activity in Sofia, the Budapest
radio asserting that the Bulgarian |

ENTRIES
IN CITY FAIR

A total of 1,O95 exhibits were en-
tered in Ely's 10Th annual Community
Fair, with 513 of them winning prizes,
according to figures compiled by Miss
Rose Mochnik, fair association sec
retary.
The number OF entries was about 100
under last years because OF sizeable
decreases in domestic science, sewing
and flowers exhibits. The decrease in
clothing entries is attributable to war
scarcity and economy, while the de-
crease in flowers may have been caused
by increased attention given the more
important raising of vegetables.
Baking, dried and canned goods,
fruits, and vegetable divisions all re-
corded increases over the 1912 fair.
Comparative figures on the two fairs
follow:

NATL Proving Ground
DR.. Sutherland, DIR. Grahek to
Supervise Survey Starting
Next Month.

When the mass X-ray survey
of the Ely territory is launched
early next month, one impor-
tant objective will be to dem
onstrate to the state and the
nation that such a test can be
successfully concluded.
This was revealed by DR.. Mario
Fisher, Duluth city health officer, at
a meeting of local citizens Monday
night.
A second, and more important, OBJ
jective Will be to eliminate tuberculosis
in this area, DR.. Fisher said.
DR.. H. N. Sutherland, city health
officer, and Or. j. P. Grahek, school
physician, were named to head the
survey committee Membership of the
committee is being completed and a
second meeting will be held within in
short time.
Emphasizing the importance of
examining every man, woman and
child here, DIR. r. J. Davies, N0pem-
ing, said that IS per cent cover
age would be an absolute failure.
DR.. Davies pointed out that the X
ray picture would be taken at no cost
to the individual. An ANALYSIS OF the
x-ray, which will include a COM
plete examination of the chest as well
as a search for symptoms of tuber-
culosis, will be reported to the family
physician who will convey the find
ings to the individual, DR.. Davies said.
1t was emphasized by the two ply
sicians, and by DR.. G. A. Scherer,
county health officer, as well, that the
only sure method of detecting tuber-
culosis was through an X-ray exam
nation.
Many city organizations will be call
ed upon to assist in seeing that every
local citizen has an x-ray picture
taken. The picture will be examined
by Nopeming physicians, and the re-
suits of their findings sent to each
individuals doctor.
Once a community is free from the
afflication, and with the protection OF
it's milk supply, it has reasonable as
surance of remaining free, DR.. Fisher
said.
The supreme board OF the American
Fraternal Union has endorsed the sur
vey, Anton zbasnik, secretary OF the
society, reported.
Also attending the meeting was
Miss Agnes Anderson, secretary OF the
st. Louis County Health and Tuber-
culosis association, which purchased
the unit with funds secured from the
sale of penny Christmas seals, and
Miss Leah Keable, head OF the county
nurses corps.
