CONSTANTINOPLE, November 9.— The allied high commission this after- noon handed a note to the Angora government representative here de- manding the repeal of all measures relating to the customs, the public debt and the sanitary and other serv- ices which conflict with the capitula- tions and the stipulations of the Mudros armistice agreement of 1918. Otherwise, action. Will Submit More Demands. The allied generals also arranged a meeting with Rafet Pasha, the na- tionalist goV¥ernor here, to whom they will submit minimum demands with a view to insuring the safety of the troops and efficient control of the police and gendarmerie. The commissioners also will discuss the situation at Chanak consequent upon the Kemalist upon the neutral zone. The result of the meeting is not likely to be known for some time, but there are abundant indications that intractible is new the Kemalists are in an mood, an instance of which demands for the evacuation of the allied troops and the withdrawal of the warships.

The foreign minister told the As- sociated Press he was sincerely anx- fous for peace and was confildent of achieving it if the allles adopted a reasonable attitude.

No Official Willing to Admit Re- eeipt of More News. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, November 10.—If -any message on the Turkish situation had been received from Constantinople up 1o noon today in official quarters no British official was willing to admit it to the press. One government official went so far, however, to say the situation was “ominous,” and that nothing had been received indicating that conditions were any better. - The official declined to explain the information on which this statement ‘was based. Russian Pledge Reported. The Daily News has the report that thé Angora government has asked the soviet government at Moscow ‘whether the Russian bolsheviks “will adhere to the Russo-Turkish military agreement In the event of war.” This report sald Moscow had replied af- firmatively, but the correspondent who filed the dispatch understood that such adherence would not take the form of lending troops to the Turks, as the soviets fear that this would affect Russia’s individual interests ‘with other nations. Some newspaper reports declare the troubled conditions in Constantinopl are becoming worse, while others re- ish source declare matters are getting worse at Constantinople nch sources re- port improvement.

What impresses his American call- ers the most is his youthfulness of outlook. He talks of the present and the future in the manner of a man in middle life; he refuses to be remi- niscent. “I never was much of a chap for the past” Clemenceau remarked to the correspondent, who inquired about the former premlier's earlier visits to the United States. This is not his second trip to America, as Is com- monly supposed, but his third. _“My father, ‘who was exiled by apoleon IIL, thought it would be & good thing for me to go to Amer- ica, and I went” Clemenceau sail. “I had been following events of your civil war and my sympathies were with the north.

It was during his days as an instructor at the girls’ school that Clemenceau met the young woman who became his wife. At that time she was under age and her guardian refused to give his consent to a_civil marriage only, in- sisting on the church’s benediction. Clemenceau stoutly declined to rec- ognize the church as essential to a wedding. So he went back home still unmarried. That was in 1869. He had spent four years in America. The next year he crossed the Atlantic again and was married to his sweet- heart at a clvil ceremony.

He not very o, timistic of communist progress in other parts of the globe during the last year, but he said the movement had made tremendous strides in Germany and predicted that the next few months would bring “surprising happenings” in that coun- try.

It is upon Germany, however, that the hopes of the revolutionists are centered.

DRASTIC.ACTION RESULT. ‘OF CURTAILED RECEIPTS Order-Points Ontfznonléholdnn Are " 8till Limited to 60 Per Cent of Last Yedr’s Supply. The Public Utilitles Commission today directed coal dealers not to deliver any more hard coal to hotels, apartment houses, office bulldings, business places or industrial establishments. The pur- pose of the restriction 1s to reserve the supply of hard coal, as_far as possible, for private dwellings. Receipts Fall Short. The commission was prompted to enact the order when it discovered that during the six weeks from September 11 to October 21 Washington fell 12,935 tons short of the amount of hard coal it should have received during that perfod. The Pennsylvania Fuel Commission informed the local authorities in Sep- tember that Washington would get this winter only 60 per cent of the hard coal it recelved Iast year, or 318,398 tons. Should Get 10,613 Toms Weekly. On that basis the District should receive 10,613 tons of hard coal per week. Actual records show, however, that during the first six weeks only 50,243 tons arrived. The District's share for six weeks should be 63,678 tons- Walter C. Allen, secretary to the commission, made it plain that the restriction just placed on hard coal sales does not mean that private homes will now be able to get as much anthracite as they bought last year. Householders, he said, _still will be limited to 60 per cent of the amount of hard coal they burn ord narily. This means that every hous hold must draw 40 per cent of its winter needs from coke, soft coal, briquettes or wood. ‘The Commission’s Order. The commission’s order reads, part, as follows: “This shortage in the receipt of even 60 per cent of the normal tonnage creates a serious situation that must be met by a restriction in the use of anthracite coal, in order that private homes may be supplied as nearly as possible with 60 per cest of their normal requirements for the winter. “The Public Utilitles Commission, therefore, hereby directs all coal deal- ers to deiiver no mare anthracite coal 1o hotels, ‘apartment houses, office buildings and business and industrial establishments, except upon written authority applying to each individual case. Until further notice this order shall apply to all coal delivered on and after November 12, 1922, “The commission will send a qualified representative to investigate any par- ticular case where it is claimed that bituminous coal or other substitute fuel cannot be used, and if the claim is substantiated will authorize,the de- livery of the allotted amount' of an- thracite coal.” Change of Technical Af- filiation by One.

Some of the so-called “republicans” may break away from their party and make combinations with certain groups of the democrats to prevent the House majority from organizing as it -may prefer. This “may” happen, but if there is a breaking of party lines on the republican side, it will more tham likely mean a breaking also on the democratic side—a double split. So, while there is a_remote possi- bility that Speaker Gillett may be defeated, those who know the dispo- sition of the House best fell sssured that no combination can be made which will oust the Speaker—that hi is stronger than any possible combi- on. aker Gillett has been so to the democratic side of the Paul, vice president of the Na- tional Woman's Party, In com- menting in Washington on the defeat of all woman candidates for membership in the next Con- gress, met criticism here today from Mrs. Mary Belle Spencer, herself a defeated candidate in the Illinois primaries last spring.

SHANGHAIL, November 10.—Two hundred persons gre reported to have perished in a fire on the river boat Ta Shing, which was carrying pas- sengers and produce between Shang- hal and Tsungming Island, off the mouth of the Yangtsze river. The steamer was beached at Whangpoo, near Shanghal. It virtually was improbable that any foreigners were aboard the vessel Those who lost their lives were h#wk- eyes and coolles, according to un- confirmed reports. The heavy-laden steamer was travel- ing from Whangpoo toward Shang- hal when the fire broke out. A panic seized the crowded Tanks. Passengers and crew tried to flee in a single boat. The blazing steamer drifted down- stream, many persons leaping over-! board. The menace to other shipping re- moved itself when the craft grounded below Pootung, opposite the indus- trial section of Shanghal at Yangtsze- poo.

Will Remew Fight. Vice Chalrman John Thomas Taylor of the national legislative committee of the American Legion, which has backed the soldiers’ bonus bill to the limit, de- clared today that the fight would be re- newed promptly in the new Congress. “Undoubtedly the stand taken by sen- | ators in opposition to the bonus bill had a great deal to do with their defeat in the recent election.” sald Mr. Taylor. “The people believe that justice should be done the former service men.” Mr. Taylor mentioned particularly the | defeat of Senators Calder of New York, Frelinghuysen of New Jersey and du Pont of Delaware, all of whom voted or ‘were paired against the bonus bill, when the veto of-the President was sustained by_the Senat To override the Presidential veto, a two-thirds vote of the Senate was necessary. The House passed the blill notwl tandifig the presidential dis. approval, by an overwhelming vote.
