UTILE HOPE OF BRINGING

WHILE FRENCH HOLD GROUND
LAUSANNE.—(By the Associated Press.)—
ace or war was the grave issue placed squarely
lire tne Near Eastern conference Saturday. Ismet
:ia , foi _, T Urkey ’ bought this issue concisely be-
" re th< ? dele ffates when, after refusing all allied
wggestions concerning special courts for foreigners
> ! urkey, he declared: * ~
Gentlemen, the key to peace Ilea * ■

i :-rd c urzon, accepting the chal-
i~. retorted:
It peace is to come at Lausanne,
m c essential that some arrange -
in. in iif the question of foreign tri-
i mills bo arrived .at,” and he. added
innificantly:
■'Ve hope that time wilt soften
i lie Turkish attitude and that Tur-
h ’ will not maintain her position
of today.” . •
ADJOURNS v
abruptly »
The discussion tftok place before
i luii commission on capitnla-
tions which adjourned without
reaching any record on the most
vital question of the Lausanne
agenda and without fixing a date
i, ihe next meeting.
The debate on capitulations, dur
ing which Ismet Pasha praised the
American ambassador, Mr. Child,
for his recent ’:‘eloquent address"
to the conference on the question
in i i- foreign judicial system was
dignified throughout and marked
by no evidence of 111 feeling. In this
respect It differed greatly from the
morning session, which took up the
problem of providing, a national
home for the Armenians.
Angry at the allies’ attempt to
bring the Armenian question into
the official discussion, Rita Nur
Hey, the second Turkish delegate,
delivered a short but violent at
tack on the allies, then brusquely
nmrg&ed out of tbe meeting ball.
In consequence of this Lord Cur-
mu M Barrere and Marquis Di
Garond forwarded a strong letter

day night to be fading hour by
hour.
Thore la reason to' believe that
the Washington government not
only sees no further opportunity at
this time to euggeit a way . to
France-BriUsh reconciliation, but
lacks also^any Intimation that It#
solid offices will be sought from
across the Atlantic, at least 1% ad
vance of an actual teat of the
French theories on reparations.
Once the French plan has been
tried and Its resnlt demonstrated,
the situation with respect to Amer
ican aid may change. Bnt there la
no doubt that American official
"liinlon la gravely concerned lest
uo]itical chaos and complete eco
nomic breakdown come In Germany
before that point has been reached.
The official attitude In Washing
ton still Is of a sympathetic spec
tator.
NO MOVE a . *
PREMATURELY
It is certain that no move will be
made here prematurely or In a way
that might create hostile Impres

placed the body of James Carrier,
whose death at tbe hands of several
white men Saturday morning was
the sequel of the clash between the
races at Rosewood Thursday night.
He was shot to death wnlle
standing on the graves ot the four
other negroes who fell in the fight
ing that followed an attempt of’a
crowd of white mOn to enter a ne
gro bouse in search ot Jesie Hun

"Seven weeks ago he suggested
that he buy some poison pnd that I
