Reorganization of the patent office With an increase in its force. of ending the country-wide strike thru separate agreements with individual roads, the Rock Island and the New York Central had definitely announced the failure of efforts to reach a final agreement and conferences of the Southern with union leaders had been no more successful as the strike en tered on its twelfth week. In the case of the New York Cen tral, a statement was issued by the road expressing a willingness to fulfill the memorandum of agreement reach ed at Baltimore at conferences be tween B. M. Jewell, head of the strik ers, and representatives' of certain of the carriers, but it was asserted that representatives of the shop crafts “at tempted to interject, questions not men tioned in the text and clearly outside the agreement, insisting that these matters be included.” The same misunderstanding result ed in disturbances recently when strikers began to return to work here In shops of the Northwestern and the Chicago, Milwaukee &■ St. Paul. In some cases the men were reported to have demanded that non-union work- erp be dismissed and in others that their striking foreman be reinstated. At the same time railway execu tives, who have refused to" come in un der the Baltimore plan, reiterated that, they are engaged in recruiting full shpp forces, and that the settlement talk has resulted <n large numbers of men returning to work independent- ly of any action taken by the union leaders. Many of the non-settlement roads were said to have forces rang ing from 70 to 100 per cent normal. These have formed new organizations to supplant the striking shop crafts. Among the roads which have announc ed agreements wit' the shopmen in dependently of the union are the Santa Fe, Burlington, Illinois Central and the Chicago and Alton. | Mr. Jewell departed for New York , where he said he would enter into conferences with the New York Cen Reorganization of the basis of pay trai officials at an early date in the of army, navy and .marine- officers, !

At union headquarters it was said that only trivial differences prevented the signing of a separate peace with that road recently. These differences It was said, would -be cleared away by submitting them to the arbitration board provided for in the Baltimore plan. .

The na tionalists will be represented by Ismet Pasha and possibly by I-Iamid Bey. Paris.—The text of Mii«taphh Kern- al’s .reply to the allied note of. Septem ber/23 was made public by the foreign office. The reply, dated September 29, promises immediately to stop military operations which have been develop ing, toward Constantinopln and Cha- naiF“in pursuit of the Greek armies.” It accepts the proposal for an armis tice conference at Mudania soon with representatives of the entente and nominates General Ismid Pasha to act for the Turks. Dealing with Thrace, the reply is worded with marked firmness. It credits the entente with sentiments of justice toward Turkey, but demands that Thrace shall rot be left one day longer under the Greek army. “Confident in 'the assurances which M. Franklin-Bouillon has given the commander in chief of the Turkish armies, in accord with the representa tives of the entente powers meeting in Paris, and persuaded -that nego tiations will at once be proceeded with to establish a just peace,” the note says "order has been given to stop immed'ately our military movements which have been unceasingly develop ing in the direction of Constantinople and Chanak Kaleh in pursuit, of the Greek armies. “The assurances given by M. Frank lin-Bouillon have established the sen timents of justice with which the 'propositions of the entente are truly inspired, with a view to assuring the rights of Turkey, nevertheless, as the maintenance of Thrace, if only for a day more, under the administration and occupation of the Greek arm is u cause of danger of every kind and 'grief to Turkey’s peoples, it is in dispensable that Thrace to the west of the Maritza river, with Adrianople, be evacuated immediately and restored .urgently to the government .of the great national assembly of Turkey." ' The reply accepts Mudania for a con- ference on October 3. f The general feeling here recently is that the danger, ppint in the .Near Bast situation is past!, Withdrawal of the [Turks from Eren Keui, and, as semi officially reported, also from their po sitions at Chanak, is accepted as proof of the Angora government's readiness hi comply with the allied desires.
