Paris.-The Havas News Agency learns from Leusanne that Ismet Pasha has accepted the Allied terms respecting capitulations. _ Ismet, according to an earlier dis patch to Havas, informed M. Bom- pard, head of the French delegation, after conferences, that the Turks were disposed to consider the Allled treaty as fipally presented, ahd, with last minute concessions Included, might not refuse sign. The nego- tations were then remewed and, as at present believed, with successful results. The reservations of the Turks on other points, such as Mosul, have al- ready been accepted by thy Allies. Premier Poincare , hsstened to transmit this favorable news to Lon- don. - 'Ismot Pasha told M. Bompard that if he should make a hurried trip to Angora it was fully understood that the Mudania armistice would con- tinue in force at least during his ab- sence. 1 latest put forth officially from the Near East conference quarters is that the conference is not hopelessly wrecked. This is the result of renewed efforts at mediation, e Ambassador Child, chief American representative, together with G. C. Montagna amd others of the Italian delegation, spent the morning in re- framing the judicial and economic capitulation clauses of the treaty to which the Turks object In the hope of finding tormulgs satisfactory both to Angora and the Allies. Ismet Pasha, heed of the Turkish delegation, Informed the- correspon- dent that Turkey had no desire to re- sume hostllitles with either Greece or Great Britain, but he emphasized that Turkish and English armies were still focing each other in Asia Minor. - Former Premier Venizelos Greece, in a statement, sald: \If Turkey will come to some inde- pendent srrangement with Greece EQBESTDINR JubBiml.on~ve ~edlao of arbitration, then Greece will con sider the state of war terminated. - \All other matters with Turkey are settled,\ he~continued, \but if Turkey insists on reparations from Greece without relmburging us for damages caused to more than aymillion Greeks driven from Asia Minor, then Greece 'must consider that the war goos on. It is for Turkey to say.\ London.-The cabinet council was confined to hearing the report on the Lausanne conference of Marquis Cur- ron, the Foreign Bocretary, who headed the British delegation at the conference. Lord Curson, previous to the meet ing, had a lengthy audience at Buck- Ingham Palace, giving the King an mccount of the proceedings at Lan- sanne. 'The general impression ls that thore will be no immediate note worthy developments here, An exception to the almost univer- sal chorus of press condemnation of the Turkg' recent stand at Lausanne was afforded by the Daily Mail which recast a late edition to launch a vehement editorial attack ' upon Lord Curzon, defending the Turks, The article says: \Lord Curzon bas hnggled, bick: ened, hectored and domineered, and through his error of judgment Great Britain bas thrown away a great op- portunity. The Turks seem to have behaved with prudence and restraint and to have made concession after concession. . They were only ada msnt upon the single question of capitulations. No sane person would dream of talking war over this ques- tion. The British negotiators aro re- turning under the cloud of a bumilé ating blunder.\ \_L _______ A Southern newspaper conveys the information that the Japanese have no gwear words.

Offenburg and Appenweler, the easternmost-points in the new occu- pled zone, it was said, were entered as a ponalty not ouly for the German's obstruction of train service, but for other fallures to comply with French orders. ~ No' extension of, the occupa- tlon in this region is planned fo: the moment, it is said. Meanwhile, no difficulties have been encountered. The French forces who carried out the occupation movement moved in two columns of 500 men each, sup- ported by artillery and machine gurs.

This program of transportation, It is planned, will be enlarged gradually, as the Allies become befter able to handle the situation. M. Le Trocquer also will discuss with General Degougtte, as allied comamnder-n-chief in the occupa- tonal rone, and M. Coste, head of the French Economic Mission, various fu- ture penalties to be imposed If Ger- many continues to resist.

There has been no fresh extension of the strike, but Instead of Improving as the Fronch had hoped, the situa- tlon remaine unchanged. The éordon of the valley to prevent coal shipments to uncecupled Ger-. many remains unbroken.
