TENSION INCREASES | NEAR PARLEY'S END Russians at Lausanne Force British to Furnish Copy of Straits Treaty. PERSIANS ARE INDICTED U. S. and Turkey May Enter Into | J Commercial Pact If Con- ference Fails. | By the Associated Press. LAUSANNE, January 20.—As the east conference approaches what s expected to be its final chapter, all kinds of reports and counter re-, ports are in circulation, indicating | an increase in the general tension. h Turks made it known today that the British delegates bad re- fused to entertain a suggestion that the Mosul dispute be left to the league of nations. The British re- torted with the remark that the Turks had never advanced such a suggestion to the British. There was another protest to the president of the conference by the Russian delegation—that it had not yet received w copy of the projected treaty concerning the straits. The Soviet forelgn minister, Tchitcherin, demands a copy immediately and de- clares the Russians must have three days to study it before discussion in plenary session. Russians Win Peint. H After a hasty consultation tonight.; \ tho allles decided to accede to the latest Russlan demand. The opinion is growing among the allied dele- gates that the Russians have been Kept too much in the dark on the straits negotlations and that their latest protest is particularly well . founded. A meeting of the stralts commis- sion will be held next week and the Russians will be given a copy of the straits convention beforehand. It is stated an agreement has been reached with the Turks except on one point. The Turks insist on the right o maintain a small garrison at Gal- Tipoli, but it is understood the Eng lish delegates are opppsed to this. Persia Is Indicted. The Assyro-Chaldean representa- tives have isswed a lengthy indict- ment of Persia, accusing that country " of torturing and n acreing Assyro- Chaldeans, and insisting that Persi should be invited to the to justify her acts. Persia recently protested because she had not been invited to send delegates to.the con- ference. Indications reached Lausanne to- | night that the English newspapers have reports that in the event of a rupture of the Lausanne conference the United S es and Turkey will ne- gotiato a rate treaty immediate- ly. Ambassador Child's comment on tEls to the British 'correspondents was that there is no more likelihood of the United States making a special treaty than any other nation. U. §. Position Unchanged. It is learned that the American po- sition concerning a special conven- tion with the Ottoman government remains unchanged; that the United States will not sign a Lausanne treaty if one is negotiated, is rrying on no + pourparlers with Turk during the present conference and is taking no advantage of her position here. "But when the conference is adjourned, the United States, in keeping with its al- d, E ounced policy, may begin negotiation for a general commer- i treaty. The conference today struck a snag on one of the questions which every one had thought close to satisfactory the proposed of minority Greece and settlement — that of compulsory excharige populations between Turkey. Demetrius Caclamanos, Greek min- ister to Great Britain, suggested the compulsory transfer 'be abandoned - and that voluntary intermigration be provided for in the peace treaty now under negotiation. @ Further discussion of the question was adjourned until Monday. Dinagree on Three Pointx. The subcommisison on exchange of populations fatled to agree on three points: First, settlement of the west- ern frontier of the province of west- ern Thrace; second, exclusion of the Greeks in eastern Thrace from the weneral exchange pian, and third, ab- rogation of the Greek law of ex- portation of Turkish -property in Greece, by which the Turks claim their people are discriminated against. As Lord Curzon has acknowledged that private _discussions between gland and Turkey concerning the . Mosul oil district have failed, and the whole problem of this coveted territory will be thrashed out in a meeting of the full commission on Tuesday, the forthcoming . week promises to be, as one delegate put it, “active and decisive.” CURZON TO PRESS PACT. British and French Anxious to End Lausanne Conference. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1923. LONDON, January 20.—The allied conference at Lausanne for the settle- ment of the near east difficulties has now lasted cight weeks and so far as the allies are concerned has reached ! its ‘eclastic limit. Lord Curzon, ac- cording to reports reaching London today, intends pressing for a final clearance of outstanding questions next week. This is to be followed by the presentation of the completed draft of the peace treaty, now under final consideration in Paris. The Turks are not to be permitted to continue their futile arguments over the treaty indefinitely, but prob- ably will be given a certaln number of ‘days in which to present any changes they feel to be necessary. So much time has already been con- sumed in meeting insolent Turkish proposals that debate seems super- fluous and soft words useless. Hope for Allled Break. For the last month, the Turks have played a waiting game, hoping each day some development in the Ruhr valiey would bring an actual break between Great Britain and France, With a consequent favorable reaction for Turkish desires. This divergence of opinion has failed to take place and Turkey may suffer seriously for the unreasonable policy it thus far. } = Though the Turkish delegates re- cently have been most insistent upon complete Turkish jurisdiction in the Constantinople courts, such unlimited control over the foreign residents Wil hardly be granted In the treaty. Virtually every country represented at Lausanne has important interests at stake in Turkey. France must “listen to the pleas of hundreds of French business men who have large properties which it would be calamitous lo surrender to the jurisdiction of ‘Turkish-controlled courts. British, American, Greek and Ital- ian interests also clamor for legal protection against Turkey's medieval ideas of justice. Turkey intends, it is sald, to oppose any judicial reforms to the bitter end, but that end may come quickly in the form of an ulti- matum from the allies either to sign the treaty containing protective clauses or discard the whole confer- ence program and prepare for armed hostilities. From the British point of view, fur- ) ther delay at Lausanne has become ‘unbearable. Even if a treaty is sign- od next week, the British concern in 4 the settlement with Turkey. is not %Xw the au‘lflon of the Mosul (ol must still be thrashed out at & weparate conference. Rescue of Montello Crew Reads Like Old Sea Romances With Rudder Chains Broken, Sailors Fight Game But Losing Battle~Stay on Ship Till Mascot Is Saved. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 20.—The Giuseppi Verdi steamed into port to- day, two days late, from Naples, with graphic details of the rescus of the {erew of the Italian freighter Montello, ! which succumbed to a mad mid-At- lantic storm last Wednesday. The rescued men—thirty-three in all—were aboard, one of them in sick bay with a cracked skull and smash- ed feet, Shot through with heroism was the story told by the Verdl's admir- Ing passengers—a story fervently at- tested by Capt. Francesco Sturese of the Montello. On January 10 the Montello sailed from Philadelphia for Marseilles, her wheat-filled holds pushing her far down into the water. Two days later, about 400 miles north of Bermuda, she encountered a whistling nor'- wester. Fights Storm Three Days. For three bleak days, with her crew never out of oilskins, straining enginey shoved the Montello ahead at eight knots. On the night of the 15th—last Monday—at 10 o'clock she heeled over.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, January 20.—Should the Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, rector of the Church of the Ascension, choose to resign in answer to Bishop Man- ning’s ultimatum, that he recant ut- terances questioning the divinity of | Christ or leave the Protestant Epis- copal Church, he may find a Unitar- ian pulpit, it was Indicated yesterday by leaders of that denomination Dr. Grant Is expected to reply in his sermon at 11 o'clock this miorning, to Bishop Manning’s letter, delivered Friday. It is thought standing room will be in demand in the church, at Fifth avenue and 10th street. Efforts to reach the rector tofay to learn the nature of his answer and whether he will resign were unavail- ing. A maid, who answered the rec- | tory door, said he “begged to be ex- cused for seeing any one.” In answer to a question as to whether he was working+on his sermon, she replied that he was not at home. A sign on the church bulletin board announced the topic for this morn- ing’s sermon as “A Constructive Pro- gram.” Dr. Grant said, before the Dbishop’s letter had been received by him, that he intended to “try to puil the threads of religious bellef to- gether” in this sermon, and it was belleved that he would state his per- sonal creed then. Bishop Manning was also silent on the issue, which is the most important -heresy develop- ment,a Bishop of New York has been called_upon to deal with in years. At the office of the Cathedral of 8t. John the Divine it was said that the bishop is awaiting Dr. Grant's re- sponse to his letter and would have no further statement to make until that’ had materialized. Clergymen, who have been considering bringing charges against Dr. Grant, also are awaiting the rector’s next move. Predicted He Will Quit clmh.b‘ Speculation on Dr. Grant's probable fnupr!e was uppermost in church cir- cles toda. It was freely predicted that he would leave the church rath- er than undergo a trial of his opin jons. Ministers of liberal leanings joined with the others in asserting that Bishop Manning’s letter had left im_little option. H P Grant should geét out of the Episcopal Church,” said Dr. Potter of the West Side Unitarian Church, who said he believed the rector would be made welcome -in his denomination. “The bishop’s position is right. When a minister is no longer in sympathy with the creed of his church he is in honor bound to get out. That is what 1 did_when 1 found myself at odds with Baptist doctrines. “If Dr. Grant were to apply for admission to the Unitarian Church, with whose theology his opinions most nearly coincide, I belleve he would be receive May Have Independent Flock. It was the opinion of Dr. Potter, as it was also that of Dr. Eliot, presi dent of the American Unitarian Asso- clation, that Dr. Grant would likely prefer to establish an independent congregation rather than to affiliate with their body, if he leaves the Episcopal Church. It was pointed out by Dr. Ellot that relatively few of the clergymen who come to the Unitarian_Church from outside are from the Episcopal fold, the principal denomination furnishing recruits to the Unitarian pulpits being the Con- gregational and Baptist. Dr. Potter is preaching a_sermon today on the case of the Rev. A. Wakefield Slater, deposed professor in Willlams Jewell College, Liberty, Mo., a Baptist institution, who has accepted the pastorate of the Third Unitarian Church of Chicago. Dr. Potter will discuss Dr. Slater's book, “What Jesus Taught,” the theology of which inspired the movement for the professor's dismissal. “I don't think there is the remotest possibility that Dr. Grant will apply for admission to our body,” said 3 Eliot, who is in New York to preach in All Souls’ Unitarian Church, 4th ‘avenue and 20th street, this morning. “If he did his application would g0 before the fellowship com- mittee of the church's general con- ference and, as 1 am not a member of that committee, I cannot presume to speak for it in advarce.

So the Verdl, with 610 passengers aboard, spent the mnight slowly circling about the water- logged Montello, whose decks now were continually under water. Com- forting messages were wirelessed at intervals. Throughout the night the Verdi's passengers paced the decks, their eyes straining toward the Montello. Now and then they sang hymns. Finally they knelt in prayer. The ship's chaplain, Giuseppe Verdl, chanted the te deum, and plalntiff Italian voices repeated it. As told in wireless dispatches sent from the Verdl as she approached New York, the sea thwarted an ef- fort to launch a boat at dawn. At 7:30 o'clock the Montello got a boat overbourd, the sea having calmed slightly. Wait Saving of Mascot. The first lowering into the heav- ing shell was the Montello’s mascot, Nanett!, a water kpaniel. Twenty- two men followed the dog.

A half hour later First Officer Stag- naro and eleven members of the Verdl's crew rescued the eleven re- maining aboard the Montello. The freighter sank as the Verdi turned her nose toward New York. MEMEL ONLY ONE . OF DANGER $POTS Storm Clouds Are Blowing Up From Eastern and South- eastern Europe. BY WARRE B. WELLS. By Cable to The Star and New York Tribune. Copyright. 1 LONDON, January 20.—With the at- tention of western Europe concen- trated upon the Ruhr, the Lithuanian uprising in the Baltic port of Memel passed with comparatively little no- tice, but this was only one of a series of disquieting incidents along the line from the Baltic to the Black sea indicative of the storm clouds blow- ing up from eastern and southeastern Europe. Memel is the port of a strip of ter- ritory of the same name between East Prussia_and Lithuania the govern- ment of which recently was recog- nized by the allies and ceded by the Germans to the allies under the peace treaty. First under the jurisdiction of the supreme council and later under that of the ambassadors’ conference, the status of the territory has re- mained undecided up to the present. Meantime it has been administered by a German civil directorate under the supervision of a French resident. backed by a couple of hundred French troops. - Clask Witk French. The natives of the district are Lithu- anian, with the exception of the town itself, which is almost exclusively German. This week bands which the Lithuanian government describes as irregulars, but which were stated to be regular troops wearing uniforms under mufti, swooped down on the town and there was a clash with the French, in which:the latter sufferéd. Afterward a truce was arranged and the ambassadors’ conference, sitting at Paris, has decided now to create a. provisional government under ailied authority to restore order, after which a final decision regarding the futwre of the territory will be reached. Meanwhile British and French naval detachments have been rushed to the scene. It is suspected in Parls that the in- vasion of Memel was prearranged with the Russian soviet government in order to open up communication with Germany. Color is given to this suggestion by reports that Lithuanian bands also have penetrated the neutral zone separzting Lithuania from Russia and Poland, and that Russlan troops are massing on the Rumanian frontiers. The Memel ad- venture has excited thé greatest alarm in Poland, where it is regarded as the forerunner of a Russian move. The Polish mark this -week fell to the record flgure of 150,000 to a pound sterling. The other_end of the tangled skein of intrigue linking up the Baltic and the Black sea may be sought at Lausanne, where the allies are draft- ing a treaty for presentation to the Turks. As a_result of eight weeks' work in the Swiss town, the following po- sition was reached: From the ten subcommissis created by the three main commissions agreement can be reported only in regard to three— those dealing with the protection of minorities, exchange of populations and transport. The conditions in the remalning seven subcommissions range from partial disagreement to complete deadlock, and it is estimated accord- ingly that nine-tenths of the allied draft of the treaty will consist of terms already declared to be un- acceptable by the Turks. There is still a chance that some sort of an agreement may be hed, but at the best it will not be a stable one, and the possibility that the Rus- sians and the Bulgarians, who fared even worse in the Lausanne dis- cussions than the Turks, may back up the latter in a coup de main to- ward Constantinople, cannot be dis- regarded. Alleged Purpose. One of the Balkan governments claims to have circumstantial evi- dence that Sofia and Budapest, as Foll as the soviet government, are demonstrating -on the _frontiers of the “little entente™.powers in- order to_mobilize their forces in this event. The grayest concern is expressed in Balkan diplomatic circles gver the reported agreement between soviet Russia_and the so-called; peasant government of Bulgaria, as well as over the activities of the Hungarian Lroops. This wesk representatives of Serbia-and .Czechoslovakia called at the foreign office -hera, as well as at the Qual d'Orsay, in ordér to draw the attention of the British govern- ment to the gravity of the situation created on the frontiers of the “little entente” and ‘militas the ry preparations an by Hungarian DNDI‘IICI the Unsettled World Conditions Bring Caution—Tariff Wall May Be Raised to Meet Payments. ! By the Awsociated Press. Although the British debt commis- sion safled for home yesterday with the mission which brought it to America uncompleted, well informed officlals in Washingtop are by no means pessimistic over the possibility of an early agreement for the refund- ing of the British war debt to the United States, In view of facts disclosed last night for the first time some of those fa- millar with the recent exchanges be- twegn the British and American com- missioners would not be surprised if the British assent to a settiement plan tentatively worked out here soon after Chancellor Baldwin and his colleagues of the British commission arrive in London. Sudden Reeall & Surprise. While the greatest reserve is shown here regarding the nature of this ten- tative plan, it is known that if repre. sents the well considered” judgment of both commissions as embodying the maximum concessfons that might rea- sonably be granted by the United States. In view of the advanced stage which had been reached in the discus- sions, the sudden decision of the Brit- ish government to recall its commis- sfoners to London for consultation in- stead of authorizing them to conclude the agreement, is sald to have come as a complete surprise to the British themselves no less than to the Ameri- can side. As the home government had bept fully informed of every step in the Progress of the negotiations, it had becn aasumed that the absence of. ob- Jjections to the plan as it developed could be construed only as forecasting assent to the final stages. Many Apprehensions Felt. The conclusion has been drawn in diplomatic circles here thut the grave {Change In the Europcan political situ- ation after the two commissions began their work caused the British govern- ment to hesitate to assume any new financial burdens at thig time unless was assured of the ability taxpayers to bear them. e mong the many elements of appre hension which thus may have Il;lpfl:. enced British officials are enumerated the possibility of an expensive war Theh Turkey. heavy loss of trade as esult of the operations of the French In the Ruhr, followed by in- creasing unemployment of English workmen, unrest in Indim and un- satisfactory conditions in Egypt, which might make it necessary .to ' Ppresent {ndependent To tie up the government in such an enormous financlal transac- ton as that contemplated by the {sommission under those conditions is have been viewed a. - ous In the extreme. ssan Halft M Per Day.

It is known that the original American plan of re- funding would, call for the payment by the British governmept of upward of a million dollars a ay. with the last payment Sixty years in the fu- ture. After a careful study of the figures presented by the British however, the Amerléan commissio is sald to have been disposed to ac cept the view that half of that sum— or half a million a day—represented the full extent of the British ability to pay. 5 0 meet even that charge it was |held ‘that the British government would probably find it necessary to make extensive changes in its whole {financial and economic system.

H f May Ralse Tarlft Wall H One project of the greatest inter- | est to this country which has been mentioned in Great Britain In con- nection with the refunding plans re- lates to a customs tariff. To make both ends meet it has been argued that the British markets must be preserved for British workmen and producers, and that the United States cannot be permitted to maintain & heavy balance of trade at Great Brit @in’s’ expense. Some British states. men are said to believe the only feasible way to stop the drain would be to erect & tariff wall around the British Isles, with special reference to American products and materials, such as cotton and copper and even foodstuffs. These considerations, of course, were not discussed in detail by the British commissioners here. They were merely matters in the back- ground at this stage and it was in- dicated that they might not even be brought forward at ail if the terms consented to by the United States were regarded by the British gov- ernment as within the present re- sources of the natlon. It is this question the British government now will consider after hearing the per- sonal explanations of its commis- | sioners. { LAUD AMERICAN PRESS. i l By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 20.—Declar- ing that the debt question was too delicate to discuss at this time, mem- bers of the Briish debt funding’ com- mission today sailed for home on the Olympic. Stanley Baldwin, chancellor of the British exchequer, and Montague C. Norman, governor of the Bank of England, both paid glowing tributes to the fair/treatment they had re- celved from the American press. “T am particularly grateful” said Mr. Baldwin, “for its personal kind- ness and the fair way it has handled this matter. Wild talk on either side would make settlement of this ques- tion impossible. The temper of the American press has been a model of what a_respectable press should be. 1 hope I will fird on my return home that the British press conduct has been similar.” Mr. Baldwin expressed the hope that there would be nothing said within the next week or two that would be liable to misinterpretation by elther side.
