HR OF VICTORS TURK DELEGATION IS 111 LADSANNA Representative of New Govern ment Assumes Importance After Defeat of. Greeks. MAKING OPEN BOASTS OF AID FROM RUSSIA Isr-iet P-jha is Confident That Soviet Bricking Will Over- Balance Strength Shown by Governments of Allies. (By Associated Press. ) Lausanne, Nov. 13.—Turkey de mands will merely be dealt with as a responsible government’s and wdl he allowed such rights i„ international relations, according to a statement made to the World Pres s by General Islimet Pasha, head of the Turkish delegation, when asked today what Turkey’s demands would be in the near east confetuH>e here. The delegates of the Turkish na tionalist government have come bo Lausanne as v : ctors and their mood is wholly different from that of the crushed representatives of the sultan, who begged for mercy when the trea ty of Sevres was drafted several vears ago. Their leader, Ismet. Pasha, boasts of support from the Russian soviet, alludes to the uncertainty which new government in England and Italy have given to the solidarity of the en tente. Mustapha Kemal Pasha cer tanily seems well entrenched in Eu rope today. His delegates to the Lausanne con ference are confident of being grant ed their demand that Turkey shall be relieved of the capitulations which are extra territorial rights granted to foreigners in Turkey. They also firm and confident i n believing that full sovereign rights will accrue to their government through the confer ence. Their attitude brings to mind the remark once made by an Ameri can diplomat that Putting Europe out of Turkey would come nearer to ef fecting peace i n the Near East than putting Turkey out 'of Europe. Having beaten (the Greeks at arms the Turks are apparently determined to recover practically all the Euro pean territory wrested from l , them by the world war. The Turkish delegation is outspok en in its criticism of the postpone ment of the conference here. Appar ently eager to embarrass the British and French efforts to come to some sort of agreement before facing the Kemalist representatives, the Turk ish group is insistent in urging a quick start of the discussions which wer e to have begun today. UNREST IN TURKISH CAPITAL London, Nov. 13. —Now that the Lausanne conference has been Post poned to November 20, the question most urgently asked here is whether it will he possible to maintain peace in Constantinople in the interim. Restoration of communications has revealed such a n ugly situation there that it is evident the utmost tact and skill will be necessary o prevent vio lent outbursts. All reports coming to London con cur in saying that the extremists are dominating the Angora government, which through agents in Constanti nople is following the policy of defi ance today the allies and terrorism amqng the local population. Residents of Constantinople are described as being in a state of ex treme alarm while the positio n of ‘the allied troops Is represented as one which may soon be untenable. An incident which sharply shows the total change in the situation from conditions which have prevailed during the past year ' s reported by some correspondents whose dispatch es say that an English book merchant who became involved in a street squab hie was seized by the Turkish police, taken to the Galata police station and thrashed. The correspondents maintain that, the establishment of martial law alone can make Constan- tinople safe. Complete agreement among the al lies and display of unity in the nature of granting full authority to their commanders in Constantinople to co operate in any emergency would re move anxiety, it is contended, and guarantee the stability during the discussion with the Turk s at Laus anne. Without such complete co-oP eration, it is argued, the conference had better not be held. Commentators in London general ly insist strongly upon the necessity for the allied representatives to meet together before talking to the Turks at Lausanne in order to decide a com mon policy. Unless thi s is done some observers feel it will be impossible for Great Britain to be represented at Lausanne at all. iTEST P 7 v RE-El|% ' - -'*£//■ ■ 1- Lady Astor with one of her children.

(By Associated Press.) Santiago, Chile, Nov. 13.—The Chilean government has asked con gress to grant a million pesos for re lief of the inhabitants in the stricken districts and five hundred thousand re-establishment of public utility serviced. The cruiser Chacabuco has arrived at Huasco with supplies and medical help and the dreadnought sailed later today from Valpariso for Antafagas ta. A relief commission has bee n or ganized at Buenos Alreg L, aid of th e sufferers by the thousands made homeless by the earthquakes through out Chile early Saturday morning and the flooding waves which followed the shocks were being mobilized to day. The death toll will probably be at least one thousand, it is estimated, and the Property loss will run into the millions, as several towns were almost entirely wiped out and heavy damage to buildings and communica tion lines and Particularly ships along the 1,400 miles of coast affected by the huge wave s has resulted from the violent upheavals of nature. The extent of the casualties, prop erty damage and distress wrought by the catastrophe disturbances has not yet bef'n learned except in a gen eral way, as many communication lines, both overland and underwater, were put out of commission. Five hundred persons were reported killed at Vallenar and in the districts sur -1 rounding the city. At Coquimbo at least 100 ar e known to be dead. The damage from the succession of earth shockp, which filled the population with terror, was heaviest in the north ern Provinces of Antofagasta, Ata cama and Coquimbo. All along the coast little ships and big ships were swept on shore, pound ed against the rock or left high and dry. At many mall ports wharves and quays were destroyed. Today naval ship s wer e steaming up and down the coast, stopping at the vari ous places to send landing parties to the relief of sufferers, many of whom are without food and shelter. The tidal waves which followed the earthquake indicated a gigantic dis turbance beneath the Pacific. ’ The waters first were drawn away from shore, far below the low tide mark and then they came rushing back in a great wave which some observers said was fifty meters in height. At Aantofagasta this queer and fright ful movement of the se a was repeat ed five times, until the city was bat tered almost to ruins and the entire Population fled to the hills. Tremor Lasts Three Hours. The tremors were so severe that some of the seismographs wer e put out operation. Tl 4 total duration of the tremor s was three hours and forty minutes and the estimated rad ius 1,200 kilometers in a direction transversal to the Andes. The meter ological institute announced that the earth shock coincided with the pas- sage of a sunspot over the central meridian or the solar body. The sun spot made its appearance on Novem ber sth and was the largest observed this year. At Valpariso it was pointed put. by Rear Admiral Martin, director of the naval meterological service, that the earthquake came just as the conjunc tions of Mercury and Jupiter and Neptune and the sun were approach ing, and he dec I '-' -- —•s” ficant. * WITH BIT G F >' v.i.'
