Most of the time was given over tc demands by the allies that the Turks: give suitable guarantees for the sufety of Christian minorities, especially the Armenians, and to dis-cussion of the proposition. Lord Cur-zon-,. spokesman for the allies In this, was supported to a considerable extent by American Ambassador Child, who not only' stated bis position before the conference, but called on Ismet Pasha and tried to Induce blin to agree to a compromise. Lord Curzon insisted that Turkey should join the League of Nations and cousent to the establish-ment of commissions to supervise and assure protection for the Chrlstlun minority populations. Ismet protested that the presence of such commissions in Turkey would result In the defiance ' . i added that when the latter measure was ready he would be willing to lay aside the subsidy bill temporarily If it had not been passed by tneu. .

How would you like ' ' to see Mr. Wilson again a can- - $ t dldats for the presidential nom- - i Ination by the Democratic party? t FRANCE Is to be left to act as she when Germany defaults on the reparations payments in January, but she will not have the active sup-port of Great Britain. That appears to be the sole outcome of the meeting of the allied premiers In London from which so much was expected. First, tbey flatly rejected the tentative plan offered by Chancellor Cuno, which was no surprise to Berlin. Then the vari-ous premiers submitted their proposals, and after discussion they merely ad- - of Turkish rule and sovereignty. He said he would accept a plan to put the minorities on the same tooting as the minorities in Rumania, JuSlavia, and Czechoslovakia, as provided in other treaties. He pointed out that In none of these countries does the League of Nations maintain commissions to be a constant Bource of trouble. Lord Curzou's reply was that unless Turkey yielded an this point, the con-ference would come to an end. Ismet took a day to consider this, and then announced that Turkey would Join the league of Nations as soon as peace was signed. As the league exercises general supervision over minority popu-lations, this Vas taken as meaning that Turkey wllr:nccept the league's super-vision over the Christian minorities In that country, Ismet. however. Insisted Turkey Would not establish a national home for the Armenians. The allied delegates expressed their satisfaction with the Turkish decision and assured Ismet the rights of his country woula not be Infringed.

Chairman McChord of the Interstate commerce commission was called t testify as to the failure of the Depart-ment of Justice to enforce the safety appliance and locomotive Inspection laws, lie testified that Daagherty bad with the commission te the best of his ability. Representative Keller of Minnesota, who preferred the charges against the attorney general, and some ethers were dlssutlsfied with the attitude ef the committee and said It evidently Intend-ed to "whitewash" Mr. Daagherty. Mr. Keller finally declared angrily that he would prosecute the charges ao further before the committee. SEVERAL recommendations of the appointed to prepare u plun of governmental reorganization have been submitted to President Harding, perhaps the most Important being a consolidation of. the War and N'uvy departments Into a department of national defense under one cabinet member with assistants in charge of each branch.

Bonar Law clung to his policy of "tranquillity," aad made It clear that the British government would be quite willing to reconsider the question of a cancellation of the French debt, pro-vided such a step was made possible by a reparations settlement satisfac-tory to Great Britain.
