THE MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON, . N. C;. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1921. eight: i NEAR EAST CONFERENCES OPEN IN LONDON MONDAY Object of Meeting Is to Settle the Differences Growing Out of the Treaty of Sevres Allies May Grant Modifications, in View of Greeks' Restoration of Constantine Veni zelos Thinks This Incredible PITTSBURGH DRIVKS A TUNNEL THROUGH .IMPRISONING HIIXS LONDON. Feb. 3. (Correspondence! Associates Press). The conference of the British prime minister, Lloyd George, Premier Briand of France and Foreign Minister Sforza of Italy with re.presentatl.ves of Greece and Turkey, which is to open here Jlonday, Feb ruary 21, has for its object the settle nent of important near eastern ques tions growing out of the treaty of Sevres. In point of world interest and perplexity it is expected to rank with the now historic conferences o Jlythe, Krussels and San Remo. . One of the most Interesting features of the gathering will be the meeting face to face of the delegates represent ingg the new Greek government under King Constantine with the former Greek Premier Venizelos for the first time since "Venizelos withdrew from Greece after the defeat of his ministry ln the elections and the recall of the king. This overturn in Greek affairs was an important factor in influencing the allies to call the conference. One of the most difficult issues con fronting the delegates will be the dis position of the port of Smyrna and the semi-circle of adjacent territory on the Aegean sea. 100 kilometers long and 100 kilometers broad which, under the terms of the treaty, were placed under the sovereignty of Greece. Since the signing of the treaty of Sevres, however, Turkey has demanded the abrogation of Greek rights in Smyrna as well as autonomy for Thrace. Thrace was given outright to Greece. The demand for autonomy in Thrace is made by the Turks despite the renunciation by the Ottoman gov ernment of its sovereignty over Tur key in Kurope outside of Constantino ple as well as its control overnight or more islands in the Aegean sea. Maintenance of Turkish sovereignty over the territory awarded to Armenia is another demand of the Ottoman gov ernment which is to come up for set tlement, ln the treaty. It was provided that Armenia was recogiuzeu u,g free and independent state." Turkey accepted the proposal that the Presi dent, of the United States should be the arbitrator as to the frontier in the provinces of Ezerum, Trebizond, Van and Bitlis and as to tne access of Ar menia to the sea. Turks Hunt Modification Modification of "the economic clauses of the treaty which infringe upon Turkish sovereignty and independence" will also be sought. The treaty of Sevres that the Turkish government ran contract ho loan, internal or ex ternal, without the consent of a per manent English-French-Italian com mission, whose duties include the su pervision of all Ottoman financial laws and the reformation of the country's monetary system. This commission is also to determine the amaunt of the annual sums to be paid by Turkey for the cost of occupation of her territory by allied troops. Turkey's desire to maintain a "de fensive army" will also be considered by the delegates. The military clauses of the treaty forbade Turkey to have a fleet or military airplanes and pro vided that all the fortifications along the Dardanelles were to be destroyed. The work of demolition is reported nearly complete.. France, England and Italy were obligated to maintain an army of occupation. Turkey was al lowed for police purposes a force of 35,000 men, with 15,000 special gen- trouble, and a bodyguard of 700 for the sultan. Premier Lloyd George is expected to preside at the conference and A. J. Bal four, who was to have attended the league of nations council meeting in Geneva, Switzerland which opens on the same day, will participate. In ad dition to representatives of England, France and Italy. Belgium also may 'send an o'fficial delegation. Plans for holding the conference were complicated hy disputes which arose both ln Turkey and Greece as to the delegations to represent those Greece fell and a new premier, M. Kal ogercpoulous. was ch'-sen. He is ex pected to head the GVeek commission. Eleutherios Venizelos, former pre mier of Greece? now in London, is ex pected to be an unofficial en,voy to the conference as it was while We was pre mier that Thrace and Smyrna were siven to the Greeks. He is On friendly relations with the allies while the at titude of the allies toward the new Greek premier has not been defined. Xo Revision Snya Venlzelo Venizelos has declared, that "the pos sibility of restoring in any degree whatever the blasting rule of the Turk by revision of the treaty is incredible." Turkey's representation at the con ference was complicated by the fact 'that the Ottoman government, heeded by the sultan, controls only a small territory in the vicinity of Constanti nople, the Bosphorus and the sea of Marmora, while Anatolia, the greater part of Turkey in Asia, is controlled by Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the leader of the nationalist revolt which follow ed the treaty of Sevres. Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish grand vizier, heads the delegation that .will represent the Ottoman government of Constantinople. Kemal Pasha who at first declared he would not do so unless the allies withdrew from Turkey and waived their indemnity claims, also consented later to send representatives to the meeting. NO MORE WILD HORSES ON THE PLAINS Of THE WEST After having tried, for, a number of years,, to get over and around the hills surrounding their city, the residents of Pittsburgh, Pa., have decided to strike at the heart of the difficulty and go through them. Accordingly tunneling operations have been gotten under way which, when completed, will result in a double-tube bore that will accommo date pedestrian, street car, and vehicu lar traffic, says the March number of Popular Mechanics Magazine, injiri il lustrated article. The estimated cost of the undertaking is between '$2,000, 000 and $3,000,000. and it is expected that two years will be required for its completion. It establishes i no prece dent, as another bore, made several years ao, has given satisfactory serv ice, although reserved for the use of street cars only. MACHINE TESTJS DYED FABRICS FOR FASTNESS OF COLORS DENVER. Col..- Feb. 19. Bronco busters of the northern Rocky moun tain states are about to go out of busi ness, according to reports from offici als of wild west and frontier shows. The reason is there aren't any wild horses to bust. At least not -around Wyoming and this part of the country. But down in Arizona they have wild horses to eat. There are 10,000 of them. They belong to the San Carles Indians who have a reservation not far from Globe. But there isn't much chance of getting the Arizona ponies for the bronco busters of Wyoming for the Indians won't give them up. The day of the wild herds of horses roaming the plains of Wyoming and adjacent statesi has been growing rap idly shorter wi'th the encroachment of civilization. More and more ranches are being fenced in, herds of cattle are reduced or confined and to make the matter worse for the existence of the wild steeds, oil drilling camps have been extended over wide areas of Wyoming, northwestern Colorado and Utah. - But down on the San Carlos Indian reservation there are 10,000 wild steeds, roaming at will over the fields, destroying mile after mile of grazing lands which might be put into good use for cattle, and turning green crass of the prairie into a scrawny covering for their bones which hardly make even a decent meal for an Indian. The cattlemen have tried to buy them, but the Indians won't listen. The government, through A. H. Sy monds, Indian aent, offered to pur chase them at about $6 a head, invest the money into cattle and save the meat1 from the horses, giving it back to the Indians- for winter food. But the Indians would have none of it. The horses are worthless, even for hides. They cannot be domesticated and the mest isn't much of a delicacy, but the Indians insist on their a.?e old prerogative to have rheir herds out on the- open prairie even as their fathers did. The Indians also have about 2.000 wild burros which they say they will keep. "And when an Indian makes up his mind." Mr. Symonds says, "you've --rot to have patience to get him to change it. They are proud cf the horses and burros for sc,me reason and although some Of their leaders have tried to per suade them to accept the offers made, so faif they have refused to sell." Sometimes in the isolated mountain canons ho-ses are found running loose, but while these might be termed wild, they usually belong- to some rancher who has let them- run loose. Wild bur ros are frequent in various parts of Arizona and occasionally are fomid in Utah. But the old wi!d horse herds of the mountain plateau regions have gone, probably forever. With the, constant production of new dyestuffs, whose color fastness is tested by nature only through the slow processes of years, a method for the rapid determination of permanency be comes desirable. A machine for this purpose is now offered by an Illinois manufacturer, says Popular Mechanics Magazine in an illustrated article in the March number. An inclosed elec tric arc. with special electrodes giving light of solar quality, including ultra violet rays, is surrounded by a metal drum with 40 windows, at which sam ples of fabric, up to 3 by 5 in., are ex posed in individual holders. Arrange ment is made for shielding part of each sample for comparison. 'To give access to the arc, the lower part of the drum slides over the upper, without disturb ing the holders. ' An extensive scheme of waterpower development' is to be carried out ' in Iceland, where the waterfalls will be made the source of hydro-electric power.

(Correspondence Associated Press). Germany has be gun to flood Switzerland and other , neutral countries with verv expensive j propaganda both in book and pamphlet form, such as the memoirs of Luden dorff. Von Hindenburg, Von Spree and other naval and military leaders in the war. The boks cost between two and 50 Swiss francs each. These together with experiences of ! the former Emperor William. and Crown Prince Frederick are sent to Swiss citizens free of all cost without anything to show where they origi nated. All classes of persons receive them and the Swiss newspapers are asking who is behind this unwanted propaganda. The German minister at Berne was denied any official knowl edge of it. The Journal Democrate says that while Germany is pleading poverty in order to obtain exemption from repara tion payments and provisions of the treaty of Versailles, and that while she is sending to Switzerland many chil dren for charitable care, she is spend ing: large sums for useless propaganda through which it is hoped to create favorable neutral pressure on the al lied premiers.
