San Ukjici, April 20. The decision
tv the Kntente Allies not to change the
Turkish treaty In accordance with the
suggestions by President Wilson seems
to mark tho llnal' elimination of the
Hrc.Mil' lit us the European peace-1
maKr. it now develops that tho fix- j
Ins of May 10 as the day for handing
to th- Tories the treaty was an idea I
o. I'l-omlf r Lloyd George to preclude
..in i liance of further controversy with
President Wilson and emphasized the '
British rreniier's determination to j
lcue the President out of the Turkish i
settlement.
It is doubted In we'J Informed circles
whether the treaty will be ready by j
May 10, although tho council decided j
ti-day that It would meet In Paris on j
.May 5 for the flnal drafting of the !
pact I
It is understood that the reply of ,
the allied Premiers to President WI1-
ten, in addition to emphasizing that i
the time Is too short to permit of
changes in the treaty, also will stress
the fu.-t that tho United States is not
nt war with Turkey, and, furthermore,
that while suggesting changes In the
treaty America -does not offer to as
sume any responsibilities, In connection
with it.
The second part of tho Premier's note
will take up tho Wilson suggestions seri
atim and will defend tho allies' decision
