SIT. CROIX STATION. London, Nov. 10th.—No one in Eng- land seems to know whether the situa- tion in Constantinople is better or worse, The news that has come through is va- gue and the air is full of disquieting ru- mours. The ‘‘Daily News’’ has the re- port that the Angora Government has asked tne Soviet Government at Mos- cow whether the Russian Bolsheviki wi.l adhere to the Russo-Turkish military agreement in the event of war. This report said Moscow had replied affirma- tively, but the correspondent, who filed the despatches, understood that such ad- heience would not take the form of lead- ing troops to the Turks, as the Soviets fear this would affect Russia’s industri- al interests with other nations. Some newspaper reports declare the troubled conditions in Constantinople are becom- ing worse, while others vepor. improve- ment, but none convey the imgression of reliability. On the whole, British sources of information declare matters are getting worse at Constantinople and French sources report improvemsznt. Paris has a report that Ismet Pasha, Na- tionalist Foreign Minister, has begun to take sounder views and has offered to cooperate with the Aliies in certain administrative matters in the Con- stantinople region. But, according to the diplomatic pews in the Daily Tele- graph, the Allied commanders are anable to take such offers seriously, as they are no sooner made at Constanti- nople than they are repudiated at An- gora. Tha text of Russia’s renly to the invitation of the Allies for the Soviet r'enipotentiaries to attend the Lausanne conference, merely during the discussion of the Straits of the Daedanelles. has been received here. It reiterates the views expressed by Foreign Minister Tehitcherin in his note of Oct. 20th, con- tending that the exclusion of Russia from the whole cenference proves the Allies have dec.uc.. - devrive Turkey of the fruits of her wvi...ries. Tle reply proclaims the Soviet Government is, in effect, a sort of Asiatic nation and insist that the Moso» Government and the " vernments of the Ukraine and of .eorgia shou'd have ful! participation at Lusanne. The Russian note demands a quick answer, but it is stated here thaf the Allies most likely will not ser’ reply to Moscow, leaving it up to Rus.ia t 0 attend the conference cor stay away from it, as she wished. London, Nov. 10th.—Mr. Lloyd Georg= started his triumphantal progress through Wales today, the pecpie leaving their farms aud berches to greet the train in which be travelled. At Cardiff the st- tion platform was crowded. lln Wales, before his own people, he dramatically pointed to three striking developments in European affairs during what he calle the three weeks of tranquility in Great Britain. Ist. The franc to a level never before. reached. 2nd. Germany has completely collapsed. 3rd. The Turk has torn the Mudania treaty into s reds. Thesefthings, he said, weie the re' 1t of confideérce that was going to be r stored in Europe by getting rid of a map of ex- cessive energy =nd validity. Deéclaring that there could be peace, only if Great Britain maintained the stout heart that had won the war, he added that he stood for policy of saner progress with no set- ting back of the clock. He struck out vigorously against Parliamentary ex- tremes, as represented py the conserva- tives of Labonr. C.6-BUICK-6 FOR SALE. U. 8. $1,200.---cash.
