Pars, Sept. 25.--The return of Turkey to Burope was assured Sat- urday night, when Great Britain, France and Italy, at the final session of the Alljed conference, unanimous- ¥ agreed to concede all the National- dst peace terms. The Turkish claims to Bastern Thrace, to the Maritza River, and including the ancient Turkish capital of Adrianople, were approved as peace terms that can be supported by France. Great Britain and Italy dn a joint invitation sent to Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the Na- tionalist leader, to a peace confer- once to be held at Venice at the earl- dest possible date. The Kemalists must agree in re- turn, not to enter the present neu- tral zone along the Straits, nor make any crossing elsewhere, and must accept complete freedom of the Dar- danelles, the Sea of Marmora and the Bosphorus, preferably under the League of Nations. Unity Essential. London, Sept. 25.--Enthusiasm for the Paris Near PFastern settle- ment is lacking in press comment this morning, the tenor of most of the editorials being that it was the only way to avoid war end maintain Ggreement among all those involved and therefore, had to be adopted . In some instances the preservation of AlHed unity 48 held to be the most important aspect of the settle- ment, and the question of concessions to the Turks fs not emphasized. The Delily Chronicle, however, holds that the concessions are excessive, and says that "never was a victor- Jous power shown more generosity for the sake of peace.' Turks Will Not Accept. Constantinople, Sept. 25.--Hamid Beya, representative of the Angora government in Constantinople, de- clared to-day that the Allfed invita- tion to a peace comference could not be accepted by the Turkish national ists on the terms laid down. The terms, he said, proposed to demilitar- ize the Sea of Marmora and part of Thrace, which would prevent the Turks from bringing out troops fram Asia to Europe. Neither could they accept Mterally the condition that SHOPMEN WOULD RE-0PEN DRECT REGOTATIONS With the Railway Companies on the Question of Rates of Pay. Montreal, Sept. 26.--The Canad- fan railway shopmen, after deliber- ations lasting several days, have ex- pressed a desire to re-open direct ne- gotiations with the companies on the question of rates of pay. The rail- way association, which acts for the companies in the negotiations with their employees, received an official their army shall not advance while the peace conference is progressing, Constantinople, Sept. 25.--The British officials announce that a Turkish force of 1,100 cavalry which crossed the neutral zone at Chanak Saturday night retired yesterday on Bairramjik, following a meeting at 6 o'clock Sunday morning between the commanders of the Turkish and British forces. No shots were fired. The Turks retired under a white flag. The Turks stopped their advance when the British notified the Turk- ish commander that a further for- ward movement would cause the British to open fire. The Turkish ultimatum allowed until 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon for guarantees respecting the return of Thrace, and it was because no guarantees were forthcoming that the Turkish cavalty crossed the border, Getting Out of Hand. London, Sept. 25---News from Smyrna forwarded from Constant- inople to The Times indicates that the Turkish army is getting out of hand. The officers are clamoring to be led against Constantinople. and the Dardanelles. The correspondent declares that it is doubtful even now whether Kemal Pasha will be able to control the troops, who are in a fanatical mood. Some Alarming News. Rome, Sept. 25.--A Kemalist in- surrection is being organized in Thrace, according to the Messagero, in order to attack the Allies in Con- stantinople in the rear, while the Kemalist army from Asia Minor is advancing, thus taking the Allies between two fires. Fears are ex- pressed, says the hewspaper, that Smyrna's fate will also be Constan- tinople's. Prepared to Resign. Constantinople, Sept. 25.--It is reported that the grand vizier has notified the Kemal government that the Constantinople government does not desire to embarrass the Angora cabinet and that the ministers are therefore prepared to tender their resignations, i] notification today from representa- tives of the shopmen that they de- sired a conference for the purpose of reaching an agreement concerning pay. The request is being placed before individual railroads by the as- sociation. It is believed the confer- ence will be opened some time next week. ---------- Blames Churchill, London, Sept. 25.--The Nation, a highbrow democratic weekly review, says that in the "flaming manifesto" calling upon the dominions for as- sistance in the Near Bast, while the hand was that of Lloyd George, the voice was Winston Churchill's.

He declared that the Canadian parliament had taken this position as it was known the United States congress would oppose the ratifica- tion of the covenant. The objection to if' was based on the article's vague. ness, he said. "Ambiguous texts are as pernicl- ous as secret treaties," he asserted. Mr. Fielding agreed that it will be & great thing to bring the United States into the league, but, accord- ing to him, the important point was that no country had been obliged to 80 to war without the approval of its parliament.

Ottawa, Sept. 25.--Protests have been received by the Canadian gov- ernment in regard to the seizure of Canadian vessels on the high seas by prohibition enforcement officers of the United States. No definite ac- tion has yet been taken by the gov- ernment in regarl to these protests, but it 15 thought that a communica- tion will probably be sent to the Washington authorities, and that the protest will be placed before the British government. The understanding here {s that Canadian vessels outside the three mile limit are not subject to inter- ference from United States prohibi- tion enforcement officers. CANADIAN EXPORTERS ~ - HIT BY U.S. NEW TARIFF The Poultry Export Business Is Demoralized According to the Farmers. Toronto, Sept. 25, -- Canadian produce marketers will find the new United States tarify almost prohibit- ive, says J. J. Morrison, but, he be- lieves, no retaliatory measures would help. The U. J. farmer will realize the mistake quite soon. Live stock will be hardest hit by the new tariff and produce will suf- fer next most seriously, in the opin- lon of many farmers. Ag butter and ©ggs are not exported to the U. §. from here to any great extent, the eight cents duty on them may or may that branch, and farmers say the price: here will possibly be as high as in the States, less the duty. The duty of 50 cents a hundred- weight on potatoes will injure the maritime producers, it is sald, and the $4 toll on hay will cut into On- tanio export revenue. On Alsike and red clover seed the duty will be $4 a hundred pounds. Formerly the duty on peas was 10 cents bushel, but it is now 60 cents, and heavy ship- ments were sent off this week to avoid the tariff before it goes into effect, Jo 8ays America Could Save Eastern Situation Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 25.--Fail- ure of America to stand by the allies was blamed for the present British- Turk situation by James M. Cox, Democratic nominee for the presid- ency at the last election, in an ad- dress before the city club here yes- terday. Cox assented "The world is drift- ing--no one knows 'where--perhaps into another war." "America alone, by participation in European affairs, can save the situation," Cox declared. the news from Paris that the allies the Angora government assuring the return of Constantinople to the Turks and demanding the-freedom of the straits, also according to report, to and Thrace to Turkey under condi- tions, allied fe9 an improvement in the Near Kast situation. Mustapha Kemel Pasha has an- nounced his willngness to suspend military activity against the Dardan- elles and await the decision of the beace conference if the allies under- take to announce officially that Thrace will be restored to Turkey without delay. It is understood that France and Italy are willing to accept the Na- Uonalists terms, which they consider reasonable, and are walting oly for the British reply. The Berengaria arrived at Chanak Saturday morning and landed a fresh detachment of British iroops. Other transports are expected to arrive soon. All the available British forces in Constantinople have been rushed to the Asiatic shores of the Dardan- elles, which are being fortited as far north as Scutari.

Should any of the Balkan countries attempt to interveme in the present conflict, Russia, he says, will under- take to prevent such intervention by armed force. On the other hand, it is reported that Kemal Pasha has | telegraphed to Moscow that he will not accept any settlement of the Dar- danelles question without Russia tak- ing part in the conference, Reports from Smyrna indicate that the Turks are continuing the depor- tation of Christians into the interior, The streets have been cleared of re- fugees who have all been interned, The water supply having given out, the American relief workers have telegraphed te their headquarters in Constantinople to cease sending flour which cannot be made into bread without water, and to send hard tack instead.
