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 British delegation.

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.

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."

SLOW HERE 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.
