TURKEY ACCEPTS

Oroeks Hesitate and Wire to

Surprised at Plan
PORTE ASTOUNDS BRITISH
By the Atsoclntml Ptm
London, reh. 2,". The Turk.nh
tftlejtatfon to the Near Knst confer
nee here nccepted today the proffered
arbitration of the Supreme Council a
between TnrVev and Greece in deter
mining the atatus of Smyrna Hn I
Thrace.
When the conferenee naeml)led th1
morning the TurklMi representatives
ade this nnnouncement and atnted they
t were agreeable to the fURRettion of th
Allied Rflvernmenta that a commission
of Inquiry be appointed to vcrifv rh
' Rtatistics on population of the diitri- t
in question.
Notice was given lv the Turlis that
they would reply at ." o'clock this after -
t noon to the other points at issue con
, cernlnjf the treaty. The question belns
aiked of both Ue Turks and the (.'.reeks
by the Supreme Council is whether they
are prepared to accept the result of
inch an investigation In the Allies re
garding Smyrna and Thrace, mbject to
acceptance of the remaining terms of
the Turkish prace treatv
(reeks Not I'letued
Premier Kalogronoulo. of Greece,
appeared before the conference and
presKcd Ktirprise that the Allies should
ftuggest a commission of inquiry and n
cessation of hostilities, which was one
of the conditions of the otfer. He said
it would be a task of the greatest diffi
culty for the Greek Government to halt
the victorious armv in its ndvanc".
Nevertheless, he would telegraph to the
covernmont in Athens and submit the
proposals of the Allies.
Astonished at Demands
London newspapers were astonished
at the Turkish demands winch were
abmitted to the conferee e v t"rclay.
The Dally Telegraph said "The Otto
man envoys, like the llourbonw, have
learned nothing nnd have forgotten
nothing. We confess our tnabllit.v to
under: tand what the Turks expect to
gain bv putting forward obviously in
admissible pretention "
Even the Turkopmle Morning Post
"asked leave to point out that Turkey
did not win the war' and added:
"Clearly the Turkish nationalist dele
gates are looking toward Moscow and
are gambling on the change of o Hoi
hevik sueeess thin spring
The Chronicle said the Turks would
be likely to agree to the proposals if
they got Thrace and Sin ma, "there
being no power to compel their execu
tion of other clauses of til" Serif-i
treat."
Chiifcs at Dela
The London Times, which chafes at
the delay which will result from the
sending of a commission to the Near
East, points out wide divergencies be
tween the figures relative to racial
populations in Smrrnn and Thrace
which were submitted by the Turks and
s Greeks. The newspapers remarks that
a Turkish expert claimed that in the
vilayet of Aldln. including Smyrna, 70
per cent of the population won Turkish
and that in Smyrna itself Z7 per cent of
the people were Turks. He asserted
that ."!) pe- cent of the population of
Thrace was Turkih
On the other hand. M Goanarakis,
n Greek, declared that, nii-n after the
deportation of Greeks from Smyrna, the
Turks Bud Greeks in that eit n-ere
about equal in number, and that In
Thrace the Greek oitnumbered the

t the time when the several notes were
addressed to the respective governments
above-mentioned a final agreement had
not been reached as to the terms and
allocation of mandates covering the
former German Islands in the Pacific.
Therefore, the position taken in the
matter by the President on behalf of this

result of effectively withdrawing any

Capital
CONSULATE IS ATTACKED
II)' tho Associated Press
Panama, Feb. MJ. Violent antl
Costa lllcnn demonstrations occurred In
this city Jnst night, reaching their cul
mination in nn attack upon the Costa
Itlcan consulate. The cont of arms
was lorn from tho door of the consulate
and was tramplod under the feet of the
crowd.
The demonstrations began early in
tho evening, and a short time later u
cheering crowd nppeared before, the nn
tlonaL palace and called upon President
Porras for a speech. The president made
a patriotic address, calling upon "loyal
Pnnamans" to present themselves to
day for the formation of military forces
in case such a step should be necessary.
-Late In the evening the presidential
office made public telegrams confirming
reports that Goto, n district nt the Pa
cific end of the Panamn-Costa Illea
frontier, had been occupied by Costa
Kican forces. Tomas Jucomu, Costa
Itlcan consul, who Is a nutive Pnnnmnn;
has resigned his. post, while two brothers-in-law
of President Porrns, xvho
have been holding offices in the Pannmau
administration, also have resigned, be
ing Costa IUcan by birth.
"Costa lUca has occupied by force
the district of Coto on the Pacific
boundarj which wo have possessed un
der the status quo," suid an official
statement Issued here last night. "She
claims this territory in accordance with
the award handed down In 1014 by Chief
Justice White, of tho United States Su
preme Court, who was Domed arbitra
tor. Panama has declined to accept
his decisions."
In addition to the force of sixty na
tional police bent to the Coto district,
there are unconfirmed reports that T00
more men have been sent to the Atlantic
end of the frontier near Bocas del Toro.
Washington, Feb. 25. (Hy A. P.)
Unless sharp developments mark the
conflict of Panama and Costa lUca
over the disputed territory of Coto, the
Ktntc Department will make no de
cisive move, it was Intlmuted today at
the department.
Secretary Colby has before him the
suggestion of the Panama Legation
thnt the United States Intercede, but
because of the opening chnngc of ad
ministrations th? only action contem
plated Is to set on foot an Inquiry as
to the facts. Dispatches received by
the department thus far have thrown
no light on the situation In addition to
that given ln press dispatches.

The two prlsonera have had no visit

Mrs. Hchtiek has received many let

They say they will tight tho cases

The success of the attempt to stny

Under the New Jersey law tho execu

CHINESE FAMINE DEATH

Worst Disaster In Interval Between
Pompeii and World War
Washington, Feb. 25. The worst of
the long list of disasters thnt have
visited the people of this globe from the
destruction of Pompeii In 71) A. D, to
tho lntc world war is happening right
now in China, according to a statement
cabled to America by Charles It. Crane,
American minister at Pekin.
The starvation death rate at last
accounts was about seven every min
ute. The lives of 45,000,000 are In
danger, and of this number 15,000,000
seem doomed to certain death. Only
quick efforts on tho part of China's
friends in the outside world can keep
the figure from going even beyond that.
