(By Associated press,) Christmas threatens to' b a stormy time at th Lausanne near eastern conference. Thursday waa a bad day; today waa worse.

He declined to give any rea son for this declination and several others equally, as flat. . M. Laroch of the French delega tion made an appeal to Rlsa Jfur Bey on military exemption, aaylng "come on, make th allies a little Christmas present, on this point." The Turkish delegate, however, retorted angrily, "W don't believe In Christmas pres ents." . Rlsa Nur Bey also refused to agree to a provision for the preservation of Christian cemeteries In Turkey. This caused much surprlss among ths other representatives, as the Turks ordinarily are extremely careful to protect all cemeteries. The allies Insisted upon considera tion of the clause providing that the Turks must respect the work done under the league of natlona In re covering and restoring to their fami lies Christian women and children who were seised and Islam ld by the Turks before the close of the great War. The Turks also declined to agree to this provision, and the sub oommlaalcn ended tne session seem ingly with a feeling cf utter disgust st th attitude of Rlsa Nur Bey, which several members. of the sub commission described as "highly In solent." Wo bVaaaaale Agreement. Th Turkish delegation has 're ceived Instructions from Angora that no agreements are to be made at Lausanne on economic questions, which ars to It over for negotiation at aoma later time. This has oreated dissatisfaction among the allies, especially tha French, ' who are anxious that eco nomic questions should be settled at this conference. Control of the straits still la being considered in private sessloaa Lord Curson, M. Barrere, Blgnor dl Qarroni and lamet Pasha were In conference on this subject yesterday and again today. The representatlvea of three great powera have made It clear to lamet that if they give th special guaran tees Turkey aeeks to protect Con stantinople from attack, Turkey In turn must give the allies jurisdiction over the, straits and the sntlre demili tarised ions. .Ismet has this jnder consideration. Tha Intranalgeant poaltion of the Turka oa capitulations, straits con trol and the rights of minorities Is generally regarded by the allied dele gates aa oaing flue, at least In part, to their deslrs to hold as many ques tions as posslbi In reserv for the purpose of future trading, and lhat they may yield many moot questions If they are able to get strong guaran tees which will prevent ths Invasion of Turkey. Th outlook for a satisfactory out come, however, Js far from bright. Th prominent delegates are so un easy about the situation that few of them are planning to leave Lausanne tor the Chrlstmaa tide.

Washington, Dec. J!. In a brief filed In th Supreme court today by the International Mercantile Marine, In eupport of Its appeal from the interpretation given the Daugherty "bone dry" ruling by Judge Hand In New York, the company contends that American ahlps cannot justly be prevented from serving liquor on the high seas under tha orohihitinn laws and that U la not unlawful for vessels to bring their ships' stores of liquor Into American territorial waters. The position ia Similar to that set forth" recently by forelgi shipping companies In a brief fllTd with .the aama court. Declaring also that should th de cision of Judge Hand be austalned "It will be Impossible commercially to operate American flag steamers In the paaaenger trades of the world," the brief points out that the great foreign trans-Atlantic lineVs will always be able to sell liquor on their westbound voyages, and agalnat auch competition, the . American lines will be seriously handicapped, because. It says, Europeans will not travel by American steamers when they can come by foreign ahlps and enjoy their usual wins. Similar conditions, it adds, will prevail In the South American trade on the northbound voyages, whlls vessels southbound In that trade can atock up with liquors at Bermuda or Havana The most aerlous com petition will com. It asserts, on the Pacific, where In the far eastern trad ships sailing from Canadian ports would have dtvertqd to thsm practically all tha passenger busi ness. "It seems Inconceivable that Con gress would have Intended to extend prohibition to ships," the brief as serts, "when the result of so doing would be to nullify the national pol icy of th United States with re spect to shipping so far as passenger traffic is concerned." Whatever one's personal views may be on the subject of prohibition, "It must bs admitted that It is not pos sible for American passenger vessels which sre dry," the brief continues, "to seek In foreign ports the patron age of subjects of those foreign na tions whose customs and diet pre scribe wines and other liquors."

And Senator Borah, who Is a keen Judas of what Is sro- Ing on In the people's' minds, Is one more to the front which Is likely to have a powerful effect upon this government's course toward Europe In the comins months, l.d s HHH (f ner ner negndfgbsddg The situation resembles that which preceded the arms conference last year when th administration heal, tated over just what action It should bring. about a reduction of arma ments and the saving of expenses which the country wanted. Publlo opinion formed strongly and rapidly In favor cf a meeting of the nations to agree on armament policies. And Senator Borah forced the Issue by resolution, which at first the admin istration oppoaed, urging th Presi dent to call the leading naval na tions together In Washington. The First Ilea Is Imsaeaaw. The first sign of the immense pub lic Interest In the European situation was the outbreak of conjectural dis patches from here as to what the ad ministration would do to bring order out of th European chaos. There was little or no basis for the sto ries that were printed but the excite ment which they caused was sig nificant The public- evidently felt that something, must be done and welcomed the idea, that the admin istration was about to act Secretary Hughes was annoyed by th activities of th "Irresponsible' press" because, as the state depart ment said, of th false hopes that war baing stirred hp In this coun try. A atate of mind waa being cre ated which made some action by the American governmt neceasary and th situation bristled with difficul ties for the legal mind ot tha secre tary of state;. new fillip to publlo expectancy by asking the President to call an eco nomic conference of the governments Involved in th 'European difficul ties. ' Chamber Of Cemjaereet Act. ' At tha same time the United States chamber of commerce has started a movement for sending a commission of American business men to Ger many to aid In th settlement of th European problem. That Is to say In th abaeno of evidence that the United Statea gov ernment is doing anything effective to save smash-up 'in Europe every one else Is taking a hand in It, first the Washington journalists then the chamber of commerce and than final ly Senator Borah. It la all irrespon sible but it la all tending to form American opinion In favor of a con structive policy toward Europe's economic distress. It Is not sentimental. It aprlngs from a sens that American economic tntereats are Involved In th restora tion of Europe. The proposal of ths United States chamber of commeroe may probably be dismissed. It might be accept able to Germany. But It clearly would not be to France. M. Polncare made that clear In his talk-to th French enate yesterday. France Is unlikely to deal with un official representatives of th United Statea Mr. Borah's proposal, however, Is to be taken very seriously. It is made first of all by a man who la i n Isolationist. That Is to say, suppos ing Mr. Borah has ths support of his group In the senate. It gives the state department the license to act with the expectation of being sustained by the senate. Mast Da Something. Then, too, It haa become clear that the administration must do some thing more this tlms than use ltsM "Influence." Its favorite word In Europe. And a conference ot eco nomic conditions is ths natural step to 'aks. Mr. Borah la free from the Inhibi tions of Mr. Hughes. It Is an odd consideration that whsr Mr. Borah is an Isolationist and Mr. Hughea ia net one, Mr. Borah admits the pos sibility of cancelling the allied debt to th United States where Mr. Hughes does not. , The Idaho senator has said that If thorough disarmament In Europe might be brought the cancellation of the debts might bs considered. To Mr. Hughes debts and reparations have no relation whatever. It la thla fixed Idea of the secretary's that has eauasd the Initiative toward settling Europe's difficulties to pass from nls into other hands. WASHINGTON CONTINUES TO .
