AGREEMENT OF THE ALLIES '
LEAVES SITUATION , CLEARER
London, , SepJU 24. , (Associated
Press.) The agreement' of the allies
on the political side of the near east
ern problem leaves the genera,! sjtua,,
cion much clearer and transfers,, the
interest to the Dardanelles, where to.
day s news proves the combustible na
ture of the problem to be solved there.
The first actual "incident" between
the British and Turks has already oc
curred in the shape of Turkish viola
tion of the Chanak neutral tone, bu$
has ended happily after a. conference
between the British and Turkish com
manders. This incident while seeming,
ly displaying the prudence of the
Kemalists in not precipating a con
flict, will undoubtedly be seized upon'
by those critics of the government at
home who call for British evacuation
of the Chanak zone, as the French
and Italians have already evacuated,
arguing that the presence of a British
garrison there is likely to provoke
just such occurrences, . endangering
the preservation or peace.
cThpse critics are apprehensive that
soma similar incidents will haDoen
when the Turks may be disinclined to
withdraw, as they did today. , . .

beginning January 1, according to a
bulletin : sent to postmasters
throughout the country by the post

This order has been sent out be
cause of the delays caused ,to ear

not the department's desire to de

persons will see the reasonableness
of .it , and h advantage both to

the last day of this year.
While this requirement has been in
force for a long time it has never
been rigidly carried out. A large
majority of residences are already
provided with mail boxes and the new
order, will not effect their occupants
at all. No standard box is specified
nor is one sold by the postoffice de

Joe Turner Pulley from his home near
