WARNING BY FRANCE
OVER SYRIAN BORDER
I \USANNE—France has officially warned Turkey
anew hat she does not like the Turkish concentration of ,. „ ... .
troop on the Syrian frontier and has added that if Turk-1 Delivers One of the. JVl03t
tish n litary pressure on the Syrian border,is not removed Forceful and Inspiring
it ma, be difficult for France to go on with the Lausanne
peacejnegotiations,
gucli la the news emanating
Iron 11) French delegation. It has
-indue I a very considerable sen-
Lli„n ml led. to hurried confer-
I -tween the allied leaders,
rench charge delivered the
»arnin to Conslpntinople and
Ceni r, Pelle, the French high
conimi doner, repeated It to Ismet
Paslia who said he would refer the
mint i> his homo government.
C.o. rJ Pelle had already warned
i, me t I’asha of France's dlspleas-
orr ,..pr the Turkish mobllliatlon
„„ Ui.i edge of French mandated
territory and that If It was Intend-
as an InUmldatlon, while the
pencil were occupied with Ger
many. to force more concessions
„ tt t ol the French delegates at
ljuj.inne. it would not serve It*
pinpose.
What Ccheral Pelle pracUcally
told Ismet wit* that France refused
to be bluffed. The latest and more
official notification to Turkey goes
a ■ten further and, according to
the French spokesman, plainly In
dicates to Angora that failure to
liquidate the quesUon uaUufactorl-
lv to France may render contlnua-
tton of the Lauaanne peace parley
problematical so far as France Is
concerned.
Turkish representatives said that
Turkey had a perfect right to mob-
lllze troops In Cilicia, as well as In
other districts of Turkey, and there
vaa no reason why the French
should feet provoked. Turkey her
self had to endure the humiliation
of having both (Tench and English
troops In ContatnUnople and else
where In Turkish territory.
The Turkish statement contin
ued: "After all we are still at war
with the allies and Oreece and
have a perfect right to maintain
troops wherever we see fit for
some time."
Turkey has about 39,000 troops
In rillcta and General Weygand,
the French commander, will find
about 26.000 French troops, chief
ly colonials, when he- arrives In
Syria ns high commander.
The French representative fur
ther explained that no time limit
was attached to tho notification to
Turkey, and there was no reason
why the Lausanne negotiations
could not continue at least for tho
present. The Turks apparently feel
the same way. In conference cir
cles the general Impression pre
vailed that the Freneo-Turklsh
controversy would be adjusted and
would not bo the cause of a sec
ond collapse of the Near Eaat con
ference.
The second phase of the confer
ence which Lausanne la now wit
nessing Is mainly a financial and
economic battle betweeu Turkey
ond Engfand on territorial ques-
ilons. like Mogul.
Franco's protest against tho
'mops in Clcllla is approved by the

On Booze Ruling
London Papers Take Dif
ferent Opiinons on Re
cent Ruling of Supreme
Court Here.
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON.—All manner of views,
from grave to gay, from lively to i
severe", are aimed in tho London J
newspaitere In reference to tho
Unltde States supreme court’s liq- |
uor ruling; however, tho grave and
severe are most numerous.
Among the facetious suggestion*
is one that Great Brltal ntleclaro
war on the United States to en
force the sacretl right of her sub
jects to' drink as muoh> liquor as
they llko wherever they like, or
alternately, to retaliate by plac
ing a ban on chewing gum and
compel American ships to dump
their supply of this commodity In
the English channel.
According to ono legal vlow of
the situation, Great Britain Is in
a helpless i»osItlon and must ac
cept tho American law, making tho
best of it. However, Judging from
statements published Thursday, It
will be difficult to make tho ship
ping Interests and the traveling
public accept such a position.
It Is suggested that as far as
liners ore concerned 1 the United
States might be iniuced to. allow
them to enter her ports with their
liquor In bond inflicting a fine
without further penalties.
the Idea of transferring liquor
to* a store ship at sea beforo en
tering the three-mile limit Is gen
erally scouted as being unfeasible.
The Morning Post suggests that
tho league of nations may have
to act on "the fads and reforms of
well meaning, welf-organlzed peo
ples.”
The Post continues: "If the U. 8.
bans a vessel which carries alco
holic beverages should not Great
Britain ban one that lacks it”
The Westminster Gazette says
the American people are "most
emphatically not entitled to lay
down rules tor tho behavior of
foreign nations which i<to not
choose to follow their example.
We hopo Americg will concentrate
its attention on the simple re
quirements of international courte
sy and co-operation.”
"It is obvious.” observes tho
•Dally News, "fhat when one na
tion .has established the principle
that it can Interfere at will with
the freedom of the world’s mari
time commerce, others will follow
suit and produce a state of chaos
which may easily develop danger
ous quarrels."

FRENCH GOVERNMENT
UNAMIMOUSLY TURNS
DOWN GERMAN OFFER
, *»•**''!*Y.
PARIS—The French c&Binet Thursday voted unani
mously to flntly reject the latest German reparations
settlement program, which was officially received Wed
nesday. . '
, In the announcement of tho rejection of the proposals,
the reasons given for the refusal of the proposals were
the lack of guarantees contained in the proposals and
the insufficiency of the sum offered by Germany.
Premier Poincare will consult
with the Belgian government im
mediately as to the reply whleli
will be sent to Germany, which
when It la prepared and ready will
b& communicated to all tlm allien.
In the offer of the German gov
ernment the sum for total repara
tions waa set at thirty billion marks
In gold, twenty billion to be paid
before July liST, five billion m->r*-
to be paid before.July 1921), and
the remaining five billion to ho
paid before July *1M1.
It waa thought that the Gorman
government would laaue bonds tn
this amount, giving aa socurlty tin
national railroads and the possibil
ity, that several men, who mad.*
huge fortunes during the late war
would be taxed in proportion to
their wealth, however this was not
officially announced.
Several persons close to Prcmh r
Poincare ore of the opinion that
this latest offer from Germany was
simply- a blind, to give tho neutral
nations of theiworld the Ide i that
Germany waa really trying In good
faith to nutke some kind of h;
factory settlement to bring
strife In the Ruhr to an end.
It Is thought extermely likely
that following the rejection of Ger
many’s offer, the occupied area
along the right bank of the Itliin*
will bo considerably extended.
No statement or opinion of the
action of France In rejecting the <-f
fer of Germany haa been rc<«lv* d
from the Berlin government.
