Whether that spotlight again

question before America today.
There seems litUe doubt that Mr.
Wilson today la physically better
than at any time sine his collapse

Though his left side still la partly

to stand without his cane and he

And there are evidences that his
stronger physical condition is per

Decision is Reverse to That

(By The Auecteted rti)
Constantinople, "Dec. IT. The
Turkish nationalist government
has notified the American embassy
here that It has decided to permit
Greek vessels to enter Black Be a
ports for the embarkation of
Christian rafugee . . from Asia
Minor on oondition the ships are
not under the Greek flag and that
they be escorted and under sur
veillance of American destroyers.
This is a complete reversal of
policy on the part of ths Angora
government which ortly a short
time ago categorically refused a
request for such permission trans
mitted by the American navar au
thorities here. The new move
comes on the heels ct the Turkish
concession restoring to Christians
full freedom to leave Anatolia
whenever they desired. Both
changes of front are believed here
to have resulted from the pressure
brought to bear on the Turks at
the Lausanne conference, particu
larly from the American delega

their previous measures had creat
