Constantinople. Thursday, Feb. 19 (by the Associated Press). The de spatches announcing that the London conference hag agreed to the principle maintaining Turkish sovereignty at Con stantinople nre hailed Joyously by the entire Turkish press and officialdom, which declare the retention of Constan tinople is most vital to the peace nego tiations. The Vakt (Times) Bays: "Wo have tever admitted for a single moment that It would be possible to deprive us of pos session of Constantinople. Nevertheless the news coming from Europe la, such as to cause unanimous Joy. The opponents the maintenance of the Turks In Con itantlnople are Influenced by sentiment er prejudice, but all are agents, conscious or unconscious, of our most Irreconcil able enemies. 'The decision taken by the Peace Con ference Is a happy outcome for us. It marks the definite triumph of the parti sans of our sovereignty. We rejoice In this development, both on our own ac count and In view of the maintenance of the world's tranquility." PROTEST RETURN OF ' WER TO TURKS Lo.

'GOING TOO FAR FOR WILSON TO FOLLOW Ambassador Have Dissented From Allies' Jugo-Slav Message. PACTCOlPROffiSE" REJECTED IN SENATE Continued 'rom First Page: covenant that Senator Hoot has discov ered In It," ho said, "then certainly we should not wait until after wo nre In the leaguo to start Kb revision. Wo should begin now by staying, out of It or by making It safe through adoption of Americanizing reservations. Senator WallnCO Said tO Koot' position Is Illogical hnd even Paris, Feb. 21, rertlnax, political editor of the Echo fe Parts, reveals to day more of the Interesting details con cerning President Wilson's Intervention In the Adriatic negotiations. '"In order' properly to follow the course of events," ho writes', "It should be said that the note received by tho council from President Wilson on Feb ruary 11 was In answer to a statement sent to tho State Department In Wash ington on January 24 by Earl Curzon, British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. "Hugh C. Wallace. American Ambas sador to France, attended meetings of tho Supreme Council In this city last month, and In the name of his Govern ment expressed formal reservations In regard to the demand sent to Belgrade on January 20. On that occasion, speaking as much In regard to Turkey as the Adriatic, he said: " 'You are going much too far ana much too fast. President Wilson can not follow you,' "Earl Curzon then drafted his note, which was intended to calm Mr. W11 son's anxiety, assure him that greatest deferenco would be shown his views and that Ambassador Wallace would be kept fully Informed. Apparently, after three weeks of patient waiting. President Wil son felt these soft words would not be enough. It can thus be seen the note of Feb. 13 was not a 'bolt from the blue.' "Knowledge of certain facts may also throw light on Mr. Wilson's probablo policy relative to Turkish affairs. In October the American President formally nsked tho Peace Conference to postpone drafting the Turkish treaty until spring. He hoped. If the conference agreea to his demand, to be able to Join In the task. Rapid developments In the Near Eastern situation, however, prevented compliance with hi? wishes. It by no means follows, therefore, that Mr, Wil son will .ratify all that has been elabor ated without him, In one of tho last meetings of tho Supreme Council it was decided that before the treaty was com munlcatcd to the Turks It would be sub mitted for approval to 'our great asso ciate.' "What will he do? In whatever way one looks at It the work done In Down Ing Street seems more or less threatened, as a word from across the Atlantic may reduce to nothing the Important conver satlons that have been going on. The arrival of Tremler Mlllcrand In London Sunday night will mark a decisive mo ment. London, Feb 21. Several of the Lon don papers to-day displayed large ad Tertlsemenc headed "Menace to the Peace of the World," appealing to the trades un-nnists and public generally to forward protests to members of the House of commons to use their Influence to prevent handing back Constantinople to the bloodstained rule of the Turks." This protest will be echoed In many the Protestant and Catholic pulpits f the United Kingdom to-morrow. The Supreme Council's decision to P the Sultan on the throne at Con intlnople has surprised the country, ad Influential Parliamentarians, nota T wscount Bryce and T. P.

Secretary Daniels denied emphatically to-day that Rear Admiral Philip Andrews, com mander of the American warships In the Adriatic, had been recalled because of disorders at Spalato. The Secretary said the Navy Depart ment had received no reports of any fresh disorders. Spalato Is the base of the American warships, and Is patrolled by a Serbian police force, acting with the sanction of the allied and associated Governments. The Secretary's denial was provoked by a despatch from-Rome to the Havas Agency In Paris. CAPITAL PASSES CINCINNATI Washington Jumps 32 Per Cent tn Population. Washington, Feb. 21.

It would bo a crime against America to enter a league which ho him self says Js Infamous only for the pur pose of changing It as soon as we are tn. Our only safety Is to stay out." "I assumo no responsibility as a Judge between Senator Root and Scnntor John son," said Senator Walsh. . "But I sus pect that the Senator from Idaho will be, somewhere about when tho National Convention meets nt Chicago to present the case against tha proposal." "I am not presuming to possess any such considerable Influence with the Chi cago convention as Is possessed by other men longer In tho public service," said Senator Borah. "But however small my Influence may be it will all be devoted to Insuro that this question shall be presented to the people after the con vention. Hints nt Another Convention. "Do you mean you will have another convention In case your views are re jected at Chlcago7" asked Senator Walsh. "Not necessarily," replied Senator I Borah, "although that may happen. Per mit me to say, gentlemen on tho other side, that In the coming campaign no Democratic candldato will attempt to advocato ratification without reserva tion." "I think that Is entirely correct," ad mitted Senator Walsh. ."Public opinion moves even Presiden tial candidates at times." pursued Sena tor Borah. "I am willing to take my chances of handling this Issue In the campaign and getting a verdict of tho j people on It, regardless of the action of tho national convention." At this point Senator Johnson read Article XXVI. of the league covenant, which provides that proposals for amendment of the covenant shall nrst be presented by a unanimous vote of the council and that thereafter they must be approved by a majority of the assembly. He proceeded: "This demonstrates how utterly silly Is the proposal of the Root plan. Sena tor Root denounced Article X. more vio lently than anybody has don-) on this floor and Insisted that under no, cir cumstances should we nssume the obli gation It would Impose on this country. Tet what chance Is there to get it changed after we are member- of the leaguo In view of this requirement for unanimous vote In the council? I do not follow Senator Root either Intel lectually or otherwise." At this point Senator Lodge Inter' rupted to observe that a reading of the covenant would show that proposed amendments must be accepted not by the representatives of the various gov ernments sitting In session at the league headquarters but by the governments themselves of tho member states. "Precisely," continued Senator John son. "It would be a crime to make us n member under such a covenant "as Is proposed by Senator Root with the un derstanding that after March 4 next we would attempt to get it amended when It Is already perfectly apparent that amendment would be Impossible." "I understand Senator Root s position to be," said Senator Colt (R. I.), "that he has always favored the league with reservations. Ills objections to it lay along the line of compulsory arbitration Instead of voluntary arbitration. He be lieves that the purpose of trie league Is to prevent war arid therefore It Is to settle by arbitration the disputes which may lead to war. He says three-quar ters of such disputes are Justiciable. He objected that the covenant permits a nation to choose whether a dispute should be the subject of arbitration or not and so to decide whether It would arbitrate or leave the matter to the council for Investigation and report. "Mr. Root holds that the council Is not an ofllctal body," continued Senator Colt, "that it would decide questions merely according to expediency and' therefore that the leaguo would permit all dis putes to be determined, not Judicially, but by the council on grounds of ex pediency. He would have It provided that disputes which were Justiciable should be submitted to a court. He would determine by laws what disputes wero Justiciable. The covenant enumer ates disputes that are Justiciable, but does -not oblige a nation to submit any dispute to. a court. He would start where the second Hague tribunal left off and would have an International court created. He has always endorsed this league with reservations safeguarding the Monroel)octr!neana Ifite'fests.'hutlio would have amended It so that we irouM havo had a tribunal to determine dls putes i Instead of leaving them to the council." V "Did he not nt one time adviso break ing the heart of the world by striking out Article X. entirely?" Mkod Senator Ilrandcgee (Conn.), "At one time Senator Root favored rfl'nlnlnir Artlrln X. tor five years to discharge obligations that the war had , Imposed on tho United Btales," repnea Senator Colt "On further reflection ho docldcd that we. should assume no ob ligations under Article X. to preserve the territorial Integrity or political in dependence of other nations. He be lieves Article X does not' properly be long In the covenant and that It Im poses a responsibility which tho United States should not assume." , ChanRca In "toot's Views. "I have no wish for . controversy," pursued Senator Johnson, "but Senator Root In his first letter substantially np Broved Article X. If we retained the right of withdrawal after five yuara. Later on June 19 last, In a letter to Sen ator Lodge, he changed his position and said wo could make a reservation as to Article X. and he thought wo should do so. 'Then chanElne further In his speech at Naw York yesterday he said j the Senate reservations would do away with the chief objection to the covenant, would save the Monroe Doc trine and would prevent 'tho Incredi ble mistake of Article X.' Hls,vlew to day Is neither persuasive nor conclusive in view of this record." "The question in the campaign would bo ratification with or ratification without the Lodge reservations," said Senator Walsh. Then Senator Walsh called attention to the" plank in the New York platform denouncing tho Federal Trade Commis sion, observing It was not very clear whether tho law or Its administration 1y tho present personnel of the com mission was aimed at He said It the plank Intended to criticise the law this was the first law passed In several years of DemocratlCgAdmlnlstratlon that a Re publican convention had thought It de sirable to denounce. "It Is Interesting to contemplato the possible platform that may be built around the league Issue," said Senator Smith. "But I want to see a vote taken on the treaty. I am willing that the ''resident should have the wjver to witnaraw us rom tne league, burnot willing that ho should have the power to veto an act of Congress withdrawing us. We are taking a plunge In the dark and I am willing to make it as easy an possible to get out I have no dqubt or me constitutionality of a provision permitting us to withdraw by a ma jority vote of CongTess." Senator Brandegee followed with characteristic Bpeech, saying he could not understand why some people con. sidered It necessary that the treaty should somehow be ratified. Treaty Falls to Star Dead. "It has been rejected once," Senator Erandegee said, "with reservations: then It was rejected without reservations; Senator Lodgo pronounced It dead and the President, in a letter, said the reservations killed it The only thin that doe? not stay dead seems to b tho treaty. It has more lives than a cat. After months of debate we adopted the Lodge reservations and put them In a resolution of ratification. All the foreign powers took note of this as a declaration of the Senate's policy. The world understood; Lord Grey went home and wrote a letter saying that Europe was on nctlce that It must accept the terms fixed by the Seriate If It would have us :n the league. "Now, without any further considera tion by tho Foreign Relations Commit tee, Senator Lodge Is proceeding to offer amendments wmcn cnangw tne consider ajo action of the Senate heretofore taken. If we were In favorof the orig inal resertatrorfa on November 19 xthf should we not stand by them noW We have accepted them onco and we know Europe will accept them. With whom are vre compromising? With the Presl (lent? Not on his life. He had somo real conviction His Jackson Day letter said he would not accept bur reservations. If the President would come hero and ask tho Sena to to compromise with him there would bo something In It, but If I should gvJ out and buy a basket of or nngos and then meeting a man who had no orange he should say, 'Here, let us compromise,' and take all my oranges away from me, what would I get out of that? "These changes simply result In mak ing the Senate ridiculous. They repre sent a scries of exchanges of synonyms. Any Senator can read the same mean ing In all of them. It Is a sham and a fraud, and we all know It There are two cruces In this matter. Wo will not abandon our reservation on the Monroe Doctrine, nor will wo assume the obli gation Imposed by Article X. We might as well face that now. Senator Hitch cock has said we must make a sub stantial change In the reservation as to Article X. As we' know we will pot do that why prolong the autopsy paw ing over tho remains? Why not order tho disinfectant and get tho ghostly ob ject out of the way 7 "If the Democrats want to accept our reservations let, them do so and then we can ratify It After that If the President Wants to stranglo his own child ha can do so, As for mo the old reservations are good enough, I voted for them onco and I will again. This one now bofdre us makes It easier for us to get out of tha league, so I will naturally llko It Why, I would voto to empower tho Senate doorkeeper to withdraw us from this league. But I have determined to be consistent and to stand by tho reservations I have al ready, supported." Lodge Explains Situation. Senator Lodge replied to Senator Brandegee. "Tho treaty was rejected with reservations and without them," he said, "but we did not have tho neces sary majority to send It back to the President It remained here. As late as November 18 we said that If the other side would offer modifications we would consider them, but none was of fered. Since then I have said we would consider modifications, and so tho bi partisan conferences We're held to con sider the possibility. I did not foel Jus tified to slam the door and refuse to listen. Wo talked several days and I repeatedly said that on questions of principle there could be no change. I bdravo tho country wanted action, It was unanimously ar-alnst the treaty Without reservations nnd overwhelm ingly for It with reservations. I took the ority course to get the treaty again before tho Senate, "Of tho modifications proposed as a restut of tho bipartisan conferences three should have been made earlier. Tho others ato mere changes In- phraseology which -mem to me unimportant, but If these changes would open tho way to ratification nnd put the final responsi bility where It belongs I was willing to favor them. I am as much attached to the old reservations as those who voted against them. They havo acquired a cer tain sanctity with somp of my friends. I havo never accepted changes In the principle of our reservations as to Artlclo X. and tho Monroe Doctrine. "Of course the question will bo In the campaign. It Is Idlo to question that. The New York convention has made elaborato statements about It and the Chicago convention trill do the same. Wo will not get it out of the compalgaj but I would like to have the Senate set tie It Tho voters aro not here to ratify with substantial changes as to the reser vations ou Article X. and the Monroe Doctrine." Senator Ashhurst rArlzona) discussed the politics of tho nltuntlon. and whell ho was done the votes wcro taken as already Indicated.
