PARIS, October 7.?Great Britain
s>nd France, as represented by Foreign
{secretary Curzon arid Premier Poln- i

the troops of the Turkish nationalists
shall be allowed to occupy eastern
Thrace only after the conclusion
a peace treaty.

The Italian charge d'affaires, who con- I
ourred in the agreement.
There is considered to be little
doubt, however, that all will accept
and that the details will be worked
out this afternoon, so that the allied
generals at Mudania can resume their i
conference in full agreement with
each other as to the terms to be offered
the Turks.
Three Steps in Return.
The solution agreed upon provides
three steps for the return of Thrace
to the Turks, as follows:
Pirst. The Creek army and, those
of the population desiring to leave
must evacuate immediately.
Second. A Turkish civil administra- j
tion will be installed at the same !
time the allied troops take the place j
of the Greek forces to preserve I
order.
Third. The Turkish army will be
allowed to cross the Straits of the
I>ardanelles and enter Thrace only
upon conclusion of a peace treaty,
and it will not bo until that time
that eastern Thrace is completely j
restored to Turkey.
The conversation between M.
Poincare and Lord (hirzon consumed
two hours and a half.
"We hope to reach a complete
agreement during the day," Lord ?
?*urton said. when leaving the!
toreign omce to inrorm his govern-j
went of the developments.
Agree in Principle.
"We went over the situation at j
Mudania and some other matters and j
now fire referring- them to our re- ;
spective cabinets. We will meet again i
at 2 o'clock. We are agreed in
principle."
The modified program of the i
allies, it is believed, will give the I
Kemalists added assurances that the !
three powers intend that eastern j
Thrace shall be returned to Turkey j
as soon as adequate measures have j
been taken to make the transfer |
without danger to the Christian ;
minority.
It was announced this afternoon j
that the cabinet had fully approved j
the instructions sent the French I
representatives at Mudania by j
Premier Poineare as the result of i
this morning's conference. !
GREEKS CONCENTRATING. j
LONDON. October 7.?Ten thousand j
Greek troops have been concentrated
in the Tchatalja district, eastern
Thrace, which Is under control of
French cavalry, says a Central News
dispatch from Constantinople.
Greek officers are reported to liave
distributed arms to some of the population
of Thrace, telling them to repulse
the Turks.
Fires have broken out in the forest
of Istranja. north of Constantinople,
and are spreading in the direction of
the Bosporus.
The Turkish newspapers annomn^ !
i hat Mustapha Kemal Pasha lias left
AngoTa for Mudania, where he hopes
10 meet the British commander. Brig.
Gen. Harington, says a Reuter dispatch.
j
j
Advice? Are Meager.
Advices reaching here in regard to
the Mudania conference are meager
end conflicting.
It is known that the Turks have de- j
ir.anded from the allies a categorical j
statement of consent to the Turkish I
occupation of Thrace. Originally this I
answer was demanded by 2:30 o'clock !
yesterday afternoon: then the Kemal-;
ists extended the limit to 6:30, and
finally to 8 o'clock.
The allied generals meanwhile were
on their way back to the conference
scene from Constantinople, where they
had gone to consul their high comjnisaloners
and to await further instructions
from their governments.
Notice Not Ultimatum,
The Times Constantinople correspondent
says the Turkish communication
was not in the nature, of an ultimatum.
He declared Ismet Pasha told
JBr^g. Gen. Harington, the British commander.
that the Kemalists would not
suspend military actions "against the \
Greeks" later than 2:30 o'clock on Fri- I
dav. "when he hoDed to receive- ?n an- i
ewer from the allies accepting his conditions."
This time limit, as stated,
was subsequently extended.
it is thought here resumption of
the conference may await the result
of Foreign Secretary Curzon's conversations
in Paris with the French
premier.
MUDANIA SESSION BEOPENS.
Sir the Associated Press.
MUDANIA^October 7.?The sessions
Bf'the conference here were resumed
?t 8 o'clock this morning.
Owing to the lateness of the arrival
of the British instructions from^home,
t>o formal session was held last evening.
but the allied generals conferred
late into the night.
The session this morning opened ;
amid a feeling of optimism. At the
.-tart Ismet Pasha, the Turkish na- ;
lionalist representative, sounded a'
onciliatory note by making the astonishing
statement that at the time
he conference broke up on Thursday
he had not received a copy of the Angora
government's reply to the allied 1
peace proposals.
This reply reached Constantinople 1
from. Angora at 3 o'clock Thursday i
afternoon. <

ATHENS, October 7.?"The Greek
army will not leave unless
the great powers comp4ffRP3^<iA''8o."
This was the deliberate statement
made to the writer by Col. Stilianos
Oonatas, president of the revolutionary
committee of officers which is
ruling Greece at the present time. j
"We realize," Col. Gonatas con-j
tinued, "that we cannot fight the j
great powers. We have as yet no of- '
ficial confirmation of the news from j
the Mudania conference, but if the j
newspaper reports prove true we
cannot be expected to accept such J
conditions without discussion. We!
cannot believe that the allies terms (
as contained in the joint note to
Mustapha Kemal Pasha to be the
last word and that we shall be asked
to swallow them without discussion, j
Dethroned Their King. \
"We hold eastern Thrace because j
of the Greek population and because
of the allied mandate and the treaty
of Sevres. After the return of King
Constantine from exile the powers
gave to Greece neither the money
nor the material hoped for. Their
hostility was caused by the presence
of Constantine and. therefore, we dethroned
him. We still hope the allies
will give us the backing we deserve."
"What are the conditions you dislike?''
the correspondent asked.
"First of all, we believe that once
Turkish gendarmes are patrolling
eastern Thrace and Kemal's crescent
floats over Constantinople, the Turks
will increase their claims. The Bui
ganan Danas win Dccome trouoiesome
even if the Bulgarian government re- I
mains quiet." j
Prepared to Fight Turks. j
"Are you prepared to fight the Turks
for possession of eastern Thrace if the
allies permit it?" I
"Certainly," was the reply. "We1
have sufficient forces in Thrace and
our morale is good."
"It seems strange that the Greeks
apparently have no resentment
against the allies." the writer suggested.
"How do you explain that?"
"We thought the allies' resentment
was directed exclusively against King
Constantine. Our people still trust
in the friendship of the allies."
Inhabitants Are Calm.
The inhabitants of Greece are outwardly
calm despite the fact that they
are governed by a revolutionary committee
of officers, who have their
headquarters in a small house. The
only visible signs of the changed order
are the presence in the government
buildings of new provisional
ministers replacing Premier Gounaris
and his colleagues, who were arrested
and escaped death by a close margin:
the occasional round of the revolutionary
watch, which passes through
the streets of Athens, and the presence
of military in all councils to decide
important matters.
In other respects there is nothing to
show that the people realize that their
dreams of a greater Greece, of a small
Aegean empire and a new Byzantium
have come to an end at least temporarily.
Loud talk of defending Thrace
echoes on all sides, and the policy of
passive resistance to the Mudania decisions
which seems to have been
adopted by the revolutionary committee
of officers will hardly suffice.
In diplomatic circles here it Is considered
that the financial position of
Greece, if nothing else, will compel
UCi IU aiA.Ci/1 ^UC Will VI iuo puwcio.
Violent Action Only Hope.
Meanwhile despite European financial
control the provisional government
may meet its expenses by a new
issue of paper currency. It seems
i..?e a parauox. but it is true that the
only thing that can save the Greek
claims to eastern Thrace is violent
action on the part of Mustapha Kemal
Pasha. This might force the allies to
turn against him and invite the Greek
army to defend the present positions
in eastern Thrace or eVen to help in
preventing the Turks from crossing
the straits. But It would seem that
the French control over Kemal is far
too strict to permit him to aot rashly
and the wily pasha must realise that ,

"I shall continue to discharge my
holy duties until the end. When the
nationalists enter Constantinople I
shall have something pertinent to say
to them."
Nevertheless press dispatches have
continued to intimate his intention of
abdicating in favor of his cousin, Abdul
Medjid Effendi.
BRITISH THREATEN

Bonar Law "Hints at Withdrawal
on Rhine Unless
Paris Helps.
y?
"CANNOT POLICE WORLD"
No Alternative Expected to Imitate
U. S. and Onard Own
Tnfprpatfl TTa Qova
j ?v By
the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 7.?A sensation
has been caused by a letter from Andrew
Bonar Law, upholding: the Brltish
attitude, in the near
e a arwtrertlWl s, whicfi is given conspicuous
publicity in all the London
newspapers today.
The pronouncement is widely held
to be equivalent to a direct threat to
withdraw the British troops from the
Rhine and completely terminate the
entente unless France comes into line
with the British policy in the near
east.
Bonar Law's position as potential
head of a potential conservative government
in the near future, and his
intimate relatione with several of the
present cabinet ministers, are regarded
as giving his view special
weight. Indeed, it is surmised that
the cabinet members, especially
Prime Minister Lloyd George and
Colonial Secretary Churchill, had
something more than mere previous
knowledge of the launching of this
utterance than the moment of Foreign
Secretary Curzon'e mission to
Paris.
Not by Own Action.
"We aTe at the straits and Con
stantlnople," says the letter, "not by
our own action alone, but by the will
of the allied powers, which won the
war, and America is one of those
powers.
"We cannot alone act *8 the policeman
of the world. Our duty
will be to say plainly to France that
if she is not prepared to support us
we shall be unable to bear the burden
alone, but we shall have ift> alternative
except to imitate the government
of the United States and restrict
our attention to safeguarding
the more immediate Interests of the
empire."
The general opinion of the press
is that the letter 1s timely and commendable.
The Daily Express says that Bonar
Law's intervention has "saved the
country from war," for which the
British publlo owes hipi a deep debt
of gratitude.

INJUNCTION STAYING

Chairman Declares Subsidy Will
Be Necessary to Keep American
Fla? on Seas.
v
Masters of Shipping: Board vessels
were ordered today by Chairman
Lasker, by direction of the President
and in accordance with Attorney
General Daugherty's liquor opinion,
to remove and surrender to Treasury
Department officials all intoxicating
liquors aboard such ships.
The order, which applies to govern'
I raent ships operated by the board
land under charter to private con,
cerns, became effective immediately
with respect to vessels in American
ports, and will be made effective on
those at sea and in foreign ports
upon their arrival at American ports.
Chairman I^asker was acting on
orders issued by President Harding
yesterday immediately after publication
of the opinion handed down by
the Department of Justice.
The text of Chairman Lasker's order
follows: "Under a ruling by Attorney
General Daugherty the sale, transportation
or possession of liquor on
ships entering American territorial
waters is prohibited by law. By direction
of the President I instruct
you to make sure that all intoxicating
liquors in the possession of ships
operated by you for the government,
and all liquors owned by officers or
members of the crews thereof, be removed
and surrendered to the proper
official representing the Treasury Department
immediately, where such
ships are now in their home ports, or
as soon hereafter as they shall dock
in their home ports, and thereafter
there must be no liquor on ships.
"If any officer or member of crew,
either on passenger or cargo ships, is
found thereafter to possess liquor on
ship, he shall be immediately removed
permanently from the service, and his
violation of the law reported to the
proper district attorney."
Secretary Mellon meanwhile was proceeding
to give due notice to private
owners, the prohibition as to both to
take effect at once, or as eoon as vessels
reach Rome porta. The Treasury
Secretary also was charged w|tl| the
formttbtfan of regulations for the enforcement
as to foreign ships, to begin
as soon as such regulations can be promulgated.
The next development awaited in
the situation, as foreseen by both Attorney
General Daugherty and Chair
man L.asker, was a move by foreign
lines to secure a final determination
In tlie courts of the application of
American dfy laws to foreign ships
entering American territorial waters.
In the opinion these were construed
to Include waters not only within the
three-mile limit of continental United
States, but "also of the Philippines,
the Hawaiian Islands, Porto Rico, the
Virgin Islands and Alaska, the Panama
Canal Zone being exempted because
of its specific exemption In the
enforcement statute Itself.
Injnnrtion Move Expected.
With the government already advised
that a case is about to be filed
which would bring the issue as to
foreign ships to the Supreme Court,
Chairman Ijasker was of the opinion
that the foreign lines would first seek
to restrain enforcement of the law
by an Injunction which, he said. It was
reasonable to suppose the courts would
grant.
Mr. Lasker foresaw not only a stay
of enforcement as to foreign ships
by this course, but also expressed the
opinion that, regardless of a decfslon
of the Supreme Court, American ships
would be placed at a permanent disadvantage.
citing as an illustration
that, even though the interpretation
t as to foreign ships were upheld, it
would not prevent their selling liquor
up to the three-mile limit, where
remaining stocks could be dumped
overboard. The Shipping Board chairman
further expressed the opinion
that the enforcement would undoubtedly
hamper the board's efforts to
build up American shipping to the
vigour auu ouuui Aiucriw. me uisadvantages
which he believed would
result to the American merchant marine
would make more necessary, he
said, enactment of the ship subsidy
bill If the American das' was to stay
on the high seas.
Based on Court's Decision.
The opinion handed down by the Attorney
General, in response to a request
from Secretary Mellon last June,
was based as to Its Interpretation regarding
foreign ships upon recent decisions
of the Supreme Court, upholding
the authority of federal prohibition
agents to prevent the transfer of a
liquor cargo from one foreign ship to
another In an American port.
Publication of the opinion of the Department
of Justice followed a White
Hquse conference to which President
Harding summoned Mr. Daugherty.
Secretaries Hughes and Mellon and
Chairman Lasker. Various phases of
the situation were discussed. Including
the possible result of enforcement upon

> Groh Fails to See Stars.
* "We have got the Yanks on the
^ j dead run," said Heine Groh, midget
third-sacker of the Giants and ex>
ponent of the bottle bat, "and we will
1 keep them on the run. The Yankees
* were supposed to have a five-starred
pitching staff, but I have not see#
* it yet."
The drizzle turned to rain shortly
before 1 o'clock and the crowd in the
bleachers raised their umbrellas,
J while others sat beneath outspread
newspapers which they held over
their heads. Only the brass band
piped its merriest tunes to dispel
the gloom of the sodden day.
The groundkeepers had removed the
canvass mats from the base paths,
and near 1 o'clock the Yanks came
upon the field, while the band played
J "Hail, Hail the Gang's All Here."
Yanks Take Field.
The bleachers were nearly filled
! an hour before game time, and the
1 spectators were still passing through
l the turnstiles. The upper Reserved
* stands showed a few vacant seats.
The Yanks went at their batting
practice with vim. Llewellyn shot up
some looping curves and some fast
ones for the homefolks to try out
. mcir uh i l 111 b e? which iiitu appar[
ently failed them during: the series.
' Carl Mays, wrapped in a heavy sweat'
er, took part in the practice.
Manager Huggins tigured on Carl
Mays to subdue the Giants with his
submarine ball.
"Mays can pitch good enough ball
1 to win," said Huggins, "but our fellows
have not seemed to bat behind
him this year. Still they don't appeaT
' to be batting behind, any of our pitch!

Some of the Yankees want to 6ee
Joe Bush in there pitching today.
They say they have been lucky behind
"Bullet Joe" all season, and his
fast ball was made to order for a
dark day.
John McGraw, riding high and
pretty with two victories in the old
bat bag, can afford to gamble. He
thought he would start McQuillan
this afternoon if he was right, but
{ some of the Giants said he might uncover

Identification by Mrs. Snyder,
With Whom She Lived.

_ auojeci 10 fits ot .melancholia.
Victim Well Known in Social
and Cabinet Circles.
The woman whose body was found
in the Potomac river below Highway
bridge early yesterday was virtually
identified today as Mrs. Irene P.
i Fewell of 219 A street southeast.
prominently known in this city and
j Meridian, Miss.
| The identification was made by Mrs.
: O. F. Snyder, with whom Mrs. Fewell
had lived for many years. The body
was in such a bad state, however,
that Mrs. Snyder could not definitely
1 recognize the features of the dead
woman as those of her friend. The
resemblance, however, was so close
j and the clothing the woman wore so
'similar to thot of Mrs. Fewell tha;
j Mrs. Snyder declared she was vir!
tually positive of the identification.
Came Here flight Year* Ago.
According to Mrs. Snyder, Mrs.
Feweli came to her home eight years
ago. with her mother and father. Dr.
and Mrs. C. W. Price, from Meridian.
Later a sister, Mrs. Mamie Maxwell,
joined this group, and when the parents
returned to their Mississippi
! home some years ago the two sisters
| continued to maintain the apartment.
! Mrs. Fewell, according to Mrs.
j Snyder, had attempted on several oe!
casions to end her life. She was sub!
ject to severe spells of melancholia.
: The speaker declared she was com
, polled to keep Mrs. Fewell constantly
j in sight on numerous occasions, fear;
in^ that she would succeed in carrying
out an oft-repeated threat to comf
init suicide. On two occasions Mrs.
j Snyder said she found Mrs. Fewell
about to attempt death by inhaling
illuminating gas.
Last May 25 Mrs. Fewell suddenly
| disappeared from her apartment on
j A street and neither Mrs. Snyder nor
J Mrs. Maxwell could find her. A large
! quantity of mail, including several
i letters from Mrs. Fewell's parents,
| remained uncalled for.
Mother Seriously III.
| Last Saturday Mrs. Maxwell reI
ceived word that her mother was
i seriously ill, and that her presence
would be necessary immediately.
After trying in vain to locate her
sister. Mrs. Maxwell started for her
: home in the south.
Whether or not Mrs. Fewell heard
J of her mother's serious illness and
j was seized with an attack of despond!
ency as a result is a question the police
are trying to solve. It is thought
possible that Mrs. Fewell in The
course of her melancholia might have
gone out to the river and committed
suicide. *
This theory is somewhat borne out bystatements
obtained from passengers on
a car bound for Alexandria last Monday.
According to those persons a
woman dressed as Mrs. Fewell was
j dressed boarded the car in Washington
and got off on the Virginia side of the
Highway bridge. She carried a small
: bundle, about the size package a flatI
Iron would make. Such a weight was
j used by the woman whose body was
| found in the Potomac to hold her under
the water.
j Mrs. Fewell's address was obtained
through the bureau of investigation of
the Department of Justice, where she '
was employed recently. Detectives
Springman and Darnall of headquarters
went to the A street house and ques
, liOIl Airs. J5ii>urr, v\ iiu aiici it
description of the body and 'the clothing
found on it, asked to be tak<f9 to the
I morgue. %
Rffopnlzex Hal.
Upon being: shown the hat and veil
I the dead woman had worn Mrs. Sny!
der exclaimed: "I am sure that that
; is Mrs. Fewell's hat and veil. I remember
them very well."
She identified other pieces of clothing
with equal certainty and, despite
1 the badly marked features of the
j river victim, declared she saw what
! seemed to be unmistakable evidence
i that the body was that of Mrs. Fewell.
j Early in the day two Tashionably
dressed women appeared at th?
j morgue and declared with almost
! equal certainty that they believed the
idead woman to be Mrs. Fewell. ShortI
ly after noon several more women
I drove up in an expensive automobile.
| When they were shown the hat they,
: too. recognized it as having belonged
I to Mrs. Fewell.
, They were advised not to look at
} the body, since identification h??i
practically been established and little
could be hoped by their seeing the
gruesome object.

Justice asserted that she was e+ther

General Gregory or very well known
