LONDON, Nov 5. GUP)-Diplo-

Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden's
conferences with Turkish Foreign
Minister human Menemencioglu in
Cairo may result in Turkey oper-
ing the Dardanelles and granting
air bases to the allies.
Eden arrived in Cairo yesterday
and was expected to begin his talks
with Menemencioglu and Sir Hughe

bassador to Turkey, momentarily
Though U. S. Secretary of State
Cordell Hull left Moscow at the

Finland Denies
Moscow Mission

as saying that "all rumors circu-
lating abroad that three Finnish
delegates had been instructed and
were prepared to depart for Mos
COW were false.
At the same time the newspaper
NYA DAGLICT Allehanda reported
from Helsinki that j. K. Paasikivi
identified rs one of the Finnish
delegation, said he was complete
ly surprised by the report, and
had received no order to go to
Moscow.
GOES TO HELSINKI
G. A. Gripenberg, Finnish minis
ter to Stockholm, left for Helsinki
yesterday without explaining the
purpose. Karl August Fagerholm,
Finnish minister of social affairs,
was named by the Social Demo-
kraten along with Paasikivi, who
negotiated the Finnish Russian
peace early in the war, and Gripen-
berg.
(Official circles in London said
they had no knowledge Of any
change in the Finnish situation,
but added that Finland unofficially
long has been attempting TO get
! out of the war;
Nc source was given for the re-
port and it could not be confirmed
/ here Immediately. However, should
i it prove true, diplomatic observers
speculated that the United States
or Sweden acted as mediator be-
tween Russia and Finland in lay
ing the groundwork for the pur-
ported mission.
NO KNOWN CONTACT
/ Finland on several occasions in
the past year was reported to have
made peace feelers toward Russia
and Soviet broadcastS have called
upon the Finnish people to get out
of the war, but so far as known
there has been no contact between
the two governments.
One Finnish broadcast was heard
complaining that Russia has not
offered Finland peace terms.
The only peace terms may be 'un-
conditional surrender" which the
Nose conference announced
would be demanded from Germany
and her satellites" There has
been no authoritative word whether
Finland is considered a satellite, "
however.
Paasikivi has been mentioned for
some time as a probable member Of
any mission to Moscow, because OF
his part in the 1899 negotiations
and his long experience in domes-
tic affairs. He is a former prime
minister, minister without portfolio
and minister to Sweden.
Gripenberg had opportunity to
contact Allied diplomats both in
the Stockholm and in his former
post, minister to the vatican.

TO TELL DECISIONS

Edens primary mission will be
to acquaint Menemencioglu with
the decisions reached at the Mos
COW conference as they affect Tur-
keys sphere of interest and it was
believed possible that the Cairo
meetings would bring implementa-
ton of the British French Turkish
mutual assistance pact of 1899.
This conceivably could mean the
opening of the Dardanelles and the
granting of air bases to the allies
to speed the ferrying of supplies
to Russia and to facilitate an
allied campaign in the Aegean. With
the allies in Turkish bases, the
German positions in Crete and
the Dodecanese probably would be-
come quickly untenable and the
way would be open for an allied
( thrust into the Balkans.
A precedent already has been set
for Turkey to grant bases to the
allies. Only last month, Portugal
turned over bases in the Azores to
the allies in implementation of an
ancient assistance pact
COULD GIVE AID
Under Article of the October
1899 agreement among Britain, Tur-
key and France, Turkey is pledged
to lend all aid and assistance with
in her power" to Britain and France
lin the event that an act of ag-
gression by European power leads
to war in the Mediterranean area. :"
The clause never was put into
effect, however, principally because
France had agreed to provide Tur-
key with armaments. When France
fell, the supply of arms to Turkey
ceased and Britain then was unable
to fill Turkish needs.
The situation has changed great
ly within the last year and Britain
and the United States have been
sending considerable quantities of
material to Turkey and assisting in
the modernization of the Turkish
armies.

Conn.Working
Women Are
Buying SBLI
Total Insurance In Force
More Than $2,626, 700
Royston Reports

Connecticut working women are
showing a growing interest in saw
ing banks, life insurance, and are
responsible for the increasing vol
ume of over-the-counter sales of
this form of low-cost insurance,
John p. ROyston, secretary of the
S.B.L.I. fund, said this week.
Because women are buying, the
sales of insurance in August this year
exceeded those of the same month in
1912 and the total volume of S.B.L.I.
in force is $685. 700, according to
the latest figures.
Applications for insurance received
through the 18 mutual savings banks
during the month of September to-
tailed $1O0,250 This figure represents
drop of $4,000 in comparison
with the $153,050 in August, which
was one of the best months in the
history of Conn. SB.LI.
Royston explained the interest
of women in S.B.L.I. as due to two
factors: CD insurance conscious
ness; and (2) sense of value in
buying.
and security. And one of the first
things a woman's mind turns to,
when she earns money of her own,
as many of them are now doing in
war plants, is life insurance.
Naturally Savings Bank Life In
surance appeals to them because of its
outstanding value" declared Royston
Since S.B.L.I. went into effect in
Conn.,, Jan. 1, 1912, only two
deaths have occurred among policy
hoIders-one was that of an in
FAINT, and the other, suicide. AS a
result only 1924 has been paid out
in benefits.
This remarkable mortality expe-
rience is away below the $4,000
amount that should have been paid
out in benefits according to the
American Experience Table of
Mortality, says ROystOn.
AS a result of this death rate, a
higher than usual dividend will be re-
turned to the policy holders, which
in turn means reduction in premium
payments, by the insured he pointed
out.

An Idle Mind Is
Devils Workshop

NEW YORK. = County Judge
Franklin Taylor in Brooklyn still
thinks that home relief creates paupers
and attracts the idle from all over the
country. In letter to Welfare Com
missioner Leo Arnstein, who had COM
planned about an unfair charge to jury
recently, Taylor wrote in part:
Never in the history of our city
has such condition of pauperism,
vice and crime contrived together to
push out the better and tax-paying
elements in favor of a wholesale
pauperism which by its continual
thrusting into the public grab bag
has rapidly driven US toward munich
pal bankruptcy. Truly it has been said
An idle mind is the devils workshop.
"Once here and on relief these peo-
pie (from e1sewhere) further de-
terlorate. By adaptation to idleness
vice and crime they become unemploy-
able. The men stay at home during
the day to remain on relief. Being idle,
they spend the time drinking cheap
liquor and gambling"
