D., Sept. 25.—The silver service that the people of North Da- kota, gave it the United States battleship “North Dakota” some years ago, will be loaned to this state when the battleship is scrapped in accordance with the terms of the treaty on limitation of naval arma- ment. The ship probably will be de- commissioned next spring. 0. B. Burtness, representative to congress from the First North Da- kota district, made the arrangement with Colonel Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, for the loan of the service to this state, and all that remains is for Governor Nestos to make the request to the naval de- partment. If the state accepts the service un- der the present arrangements, while it is technically only a loan, it will probably be in effect an absolute change of ownership for it is very doubtful if the government would ever demand its return. Cong. Burtness, in a letter discuss- ing the subject, says that Col. Roose- velt was particularly pleased to be of every possible assistance in this matter for, as he states, North Da- kota is very, close to the hearts of the mémbers of the Roosevelt fam- ily. important watch and The |works at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Swit-| denials of Chicago, Burlington & Quincy shops,! was a matter under ccnsideration by the authorities today.

Thei. strike vote was Held in abeyance when they were granted the rehear- ing set far today, The July 1 cut in the signalmen’s waged ranged from five to seven cents an hour. Forty-two railroads and their subsidastes are parties to the rehearing, But 19 of the 201 class one roads had reported acceptance of the Bal- timore settlement plan today. Nego- tations were under way on the Chi- cago & Alton, however, for a new shop agreement. The drastic temporary injunction order asked by “Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty akainst shop crafts strike leaders was put in force today by Judge James H. Wilkerson without any of its effectiveness being modified.

Meanwhile a note from the alllied powers disclosing their commuica- tion to Mustapha Kemal Pasha, ac- cording to his conditions for peace has reached the foreign office, and has had the effect on the Grecian people of a frigid and undesired showerbath, The powers in their communication merely informed the Greek government of their action.

In Thrace Greece is, and in Thrace Greece will remain, is the | watchword today of the Greek peo- i ple. INVITED TO CONFERENCE. Pars Sept, 25—-Britain, France and | Italy have sent a «ote to Mustapha | Kemal opénng the way for Turkey to re-enter Europe, receive back Con- stantinople and Adrianople and join the League of Nations. * This was done to avoid unforseen consequences of war in the Near East. The Turks are offered the territory of Thrace, in Europe as far east as the Maritza river. They are invited to send a pleni- potentiary to Venice to “negotiate and conclude” a 4nal peace treaty between Turkey, Greece and the Al- lies. In return for concessions offered, the Turks must cease their war on Greece and agree to neutralization | of the straits. | This is regarded as an overwhelm- | | ing victory for Turkey and for French policy in the Near East.
