Uicy. The public -icillates. It is true,
but there is always a demand in each

Popularizing such plays is the mission
of the Devereux. Company, headed by
Mr. Clifford Devereux with Miss Zln-
ita Graf in chief support, who will ap

who made this interesting engagement,

MV.es ot to Lose Their Grip on Hit
, nation. - ; A
Constantinople, Nov. 6; Though the
nationalist civil power Is in control' In
Constantinople, the entente does not
intend for the present at teast to lose
its grip on the military authority. Great
Britain and France are in accord on
the point that the Turks must live up
to the oolivention drawn up at Mu-
danla, and it is not doubted that the
other interested countries will fall Into
line with this policy. . "
There is every desire, however, to
meet Turkish aspirations within prop
er limit and to this end the auiea com
missioners today issued the following
statement:
"The inter-allied high commission
ers are firmly resolved to observe
strict Impartiality , with regard to
events which concern the internal pol
icy of Turkey. The atl.'ed genera
will continue to apply the clauses of
the Mud'anla convention and maintain
order and security In the zones occu
plod by the allied armies.. :V
Replying to the last communication
with Angora concerning the Lausanne
conference, the commissioners, while
renouncing the wish interfere with
Turkish policy, express the hope there
will be only one Turkish delegation to
the conference. . .
The allied commissioners refuse to
discuss the demand of the Angora gov
ernment that onlv one warship at
time titter Turkish pc-rts and then on'y
with the consent of the TurUlsh au
