London, Feb. 24.—(By the Associ- ated Press.)—The solution of the Near East problem relating to Tur- key which will be reached by the allied supreme council will he to send an allied commission of inquiry, to the Near E. population claims of Greece and Turkey in the disputed provinces of Smyrna and Thrace, it was forecast in well informed circles here today. Meantime, a cessation of hostilities between the Turks and Greeks will be declared. The attitude of the Turks made an excellent impression upon the con- ferees. Premier Briand of France declared after the sitting that the conference had gone a long way to- ward a settlement. Bekir Samy tionalist delegatior head of the na- SPECIALS IN Representatives to st to examine on the spot the ! the Turks rested their case on the principle of the treaty of Sevres, namely the rights of nationalities. The Turks, he said, were asking for Smyrna and Thrace because in the populations of those provinces the Turks were in the majority. Premier Lloyd George asked if he could support this by statistics, and Bekir replied that he could do so by both Turkish and foreign statistics. Premier Kalogeropoulos of Greece was furnished copies of the docu- ments, and the Greeks, it was an- nounced, would be given an oppor- tunity to reply this afternoon. LUTZ WILL FILED.

We're just like a “kid” we appreciate nice things said about us. If you've not paid us a visit of late, why not drop in and let us prove the above cus- tomer’s statement? Just now we are -forming a Hoosier Cabinet Club and we're very anxious to have you as a member of the club. We don’t need to go into detail about the hundred and one labor saving features combined in this wonderful Hoosier, we're sure you know all this—or prob- ably seen one at your neighbors. To become a member all that is required is to come in pay one dollar and your cab- inet is delivered to your home. Very simple—very easy—and yet, just think, you're a member of the Greatest Club in the country. Let’s make vou a member tomorrow. John A. Andrews & Co. THE BIG FURNITURE STORE Where Hoosier Cabinets Are Sold. New Britain Gas Light Company, New Britain, Conn. Gentlemen: Will you kindly inform the People of New Britain why the price of gas remains at $1.80 per 1,000 cubic feet, less 10 cents per 1,000. Don’t you gentlemen think that this is an exorbitant price at present, when half of the people are working at a lower wage, while the other half is " either out of work entirely or on a 3 or 4 day a week schedule? Why should New Britain charge mcre for gas than surrounding cities? It is about time, gentlemen, that you reduce the price to where it belongs. Soft coal and oil have come down, food and clothing prices are coming down. Some of the rents have already come down and others will eventually come down as as the empty tenements become more numerous. Not one of our local newspapers would criticize the Gas Light Co., although they are after the landlords, who do not belong to the right society. The taxpayers of New Britain, representing more than 6,000 members, demand that the price of Gas also come down and we hope that the gentlemen at the head of the Gas Light Co., who have the reputation of being men who have the welfare of the city at heart, will see to it that we will not have to bring this matter before the courts. All we ask is a fair price for Gas and less charity. New Britain Taxpayers Protective Assn. Headquarters, Rear Yale Cigar Store,
