(Continued from Puge )
THE ALLIES AND TURKEY,
Paris, Sept. 21.
An account of the proceedings of the Foreign Ministers' Con- ference yesterday is contained in the sami-official statement which says that Lord Curzon expressed great astonishment at the fact that while the British had decided to reinforce her troops at Chanak, both France and Italy had resolved to withdraw their contingents from the south side of the Sea of Marmera. Lord Curzon con- sidered that the Franco-Italian decision hardly conformed with the agreements of 1915 and 1918, providing for partial Inter-Allied occupation of Turkish territory.
M. Poincare regarded the agreements as being at present inapplicable, as no conflict was feared when the allocation of troops was provided thereunder. He added that French opinion would not permit French troops to act with the Greeks and he argued that if Chanak was held, the whole of the southern shore of the Sea of Marmora cught equally to be occupied.
Kemalists would entertain peace
Signor Sforza, agreeing with M. Poincare, believed, that the discussions on the acceptable basis of agreement cabled last night and which just then arrived. The Conference decided, in principle, to hold a Peace Con- ference at Venice, but pointed out that Russia had not been in- vited as she was not directly interested, the Soviet-Angeran Treaty of Turkey and the security of Constantinople. specifically exchiding Russian decisions affecting the sovereignty
M. Poincare further pointed out the military objection to th Allies fighting with their backs t: the sea. He also pointed out All broken chafed and damag-an uncompromising or bellicose attitude.

Simla, Sept. 21,
Twenty-five Moslem Members of the Legislature have sub- mitted their views on the Near East situation to the Viceroy, most earnestly and with the greatest moderation drawing his attention to the points on which it is considered Turkish peace ought to be based and which formed the subject of the Government of India's famous telegram of March 8, the unauthorised publication of which resulted in Mr. Montagu's resignation of the Secretaryship of India.
The Viceroy promised to lay their views before the Imperial Government.
París, Sept. 21. A message from Angora reports that the Turks altogether captured 60,000 Greeks.

Washington, Sert, 21,
The Near East policy of the United States has been cutlined at the White House.

Washington, Sept. 21. The Treasury experts, estimate that the now tariff under the Forday Mette er Bill, the must': 1 meetment whree f expected, wi : Wld about $100.000,00€ 21ral revenue, half of which will be derived from the following sourezs, viz., sugar, $87,000,000; raw wool, $63,000,000; tobacco, $35,000,000; laces and embroideries, $15,000,000; while the average ad valorem rates will be slightly higher than the Payne-Aldrich Tariff. They will in actual operation show an average slightly lower because some of the new duties will be inoperative owing to their height or the absence of imports of commodities they cover. Perhaps, the most notable feature of the Bill is the power given to the President, after investigation by the Tariff Commission, to increase or decrease any rate in the Bill by 50 per cant. if neces- sary, in order to set off the difference in the cost of production Almost all infantile troubles at home and abroad.
