London, May 2nd.—One hundred per- sons have been killed in an ammunition explosion in a factory in the Government of Tula, Russia, according to Moscow ad- vices reaching Helsingfors, Finland. Those killed included General Malinokoff and many military officers and members of the local Soviet. Dublin, May 2nd.—The execution of two more Irregulars was announced this rgorniog. The men, Christopher Quinn ¥nd William Shanghnessy had been guilty o?killing a Free Strate soldier at Ennis, County Ciare, on April Zlst. The execu- tions took place at Ennis. Lausanne, May 2nd.—The French offi- cial warning to Turkey has produceda very considerable sensation and led to hurried conferences between the Allied leaders. lL.ausanne, May 2nd.—The French charge delivered the warning to Constan- tinople and General Pelle, the French High Commissioner repeated it to Ismet Pasha, who said he would refer the point to his home Government, General Pelle had already warned Ismet Pasha of France’s disvleasure over the Turkish mobilization on the edge of French man- dated territory and that if it was intend- ed as an attemp!, while the Freneh we e occupied with Germany, to foree more concessions from the French delegates at Lausanue, it would not serve its pur- pose. What General Pelle practically told Ismet Pasha was that Frarce re- fused tu be bluffed. The latest and more official notification to Turkey goes a step further, according to the French spokes- man, plainly indicating to Ancora that failure to ‘iquidate the questions satis- factorily to Franee may render ‘the con- tinuation of the Lausanne conference problematic as far as France is concern- ed. The Turkishrepresentatives i:sued a statement maintaining that they had a perfect right to mobilize troops in Cilicia. The Turkish statement continues. “"After all, we are still at war with the Ailies and Greece and have a perfect right to maintain troops where we think f{it”’ Turkey has about 30,000 trocps in Cilicia and General Weygand, the Irench com- mander, will find about 26,000 French tiroops, chiefly co'onials, when he arvives 10 Syria as High Coemmissioner. The second phase of the conference, which Lausanne is now witnessing, is mainly a "nancial and economic battle between Turkey and Great Britain on territorial questions like Mosul. France’s protest against the troops in Cilicia is approved of by the British delegation, the spokes- man of which <aid tonigzht. '‘The posi- tion of Fraunce is right. lecause, with the armistice operating, no one could think of conduecting peuace newotiations if one party persisted in moving troops about with the supposed intent of influo- encing negotiations. We are not worried abourt this incident and do not think it liable to endangzer the Lausanne negotia- tions’’. Berlin, Mav 2nd. —Gormany has plaecd her latest proposals respecting repara- tiors in the hands of the Allied powers and the United States. thiir chief fe:n- ture is an offer of the sum of thirty iil- lhon gold inarks in payment of her obli- gations under the treaty of Versailles The paym:n*t of this amount, how- ever, is d-pendent on the raising of a loan. There is a wide divergence of cpinion in political and neutral di- plomatic cireles in Beriin tonight with, resp.er to the effectiveness of Germany’s new reparations note. Criti- cism of 1s elastieity and apparent lack of piecise f{ormulation i 3 counter- ed in officiai guarters with the asser- tion that the note vrovides a work- able basis {or serious neggtiations, in that it not conly suggests a deflnite starting point, but also urges invocation of neutral expert judgement in the event that the creditor nations :r: un- abl to agree on the question «f fix- ation and cther debatable rpoints, The offer of the 30 billions 1s interpret- ed in several quarters as permitling eveninal amplification, but that this should nut be definitely indicated n the present formal note, .dprasmuch g2s it whoily deperds upon the extent to which Gern any 1s accorided conpieie recdom of econvmie develovment and ploced 1u a position to unceriake her internation- al renabiintation. The uhiimate sums s!e will be able 1o render 1n cazh and in kind wiil also be largely determined by the extent to which she 1s permitted to negotiate private contracts. Reference to tuis, in the oflicial text, constituies one of its several elustie Icatures, whoie ejucidation L ¢ Govt. is reserving for ihe actual negctiations. The velled man- ner in allusion to it ils macde, it 18 com- monly unders ood, as suggesung ovver- tures for a Iranco-German indusirial entente, to which the Kubr industriaiis:s are aspiring and which they beueve con- stitutes -the crux of such a reparations soluilon as wiil defintely appease France. With reference to the present fixed amount of thiriy biilion, it is sucyested that this more nearly approximates 39,- 000,000,000, making due allowance for interest payments.
