LAUSANNE, Nov. 26. "It is all very well to divide up, on paper, the natural resources of other countries but it is best first to be sure of having them to divide." When Mus-tapha Kemal made that laughing remark to me at Angora apropos the San Remo oil agreements and disposition of Mosul, the Turks were just organizing their army.

A review of the first week of the Lausanne conference shows that Turkey met signal defeat In her first demand, namely for a plebiscite In Western Thrace, which she maintains Is overwhelmingly of Turkish population. The Turks, however, have placed on the diplomatic board a proposal which Is affording great embarrassment to all the powers; they want a neutral belt marked out along the entire European frontier from the Black Sea to the Aegean, and they want the powers to guarantee that it frhall be kept neutral. This unquestionably Is a move calculated to secure peace In the Balkans, but Europe hesitates to take-over direct responsibility concerning Balkan territory, where so many wars have been fought and where the "national aspirations" are still a powerful factor for discord. Similarly, Turkey asks that the Aegean inlands, which lie near her Anatolian coast, be demilitarized, and an autonomous form of government established. This is an extension to the Bea of the neutral belt proposal suggested for the BULGARIA AXGRY When i come to a settlement of the straits treaty Turkey win undoubtedly demand additional strong guarantees against aggressions by Christian Europe.

The Bulgarians are angry over the virtual decision to make Deag-hatch merely a free port instead of a sovereign Bulgirian commercial center. The Bulgarian delegation has issued a broadside to the press condemning Greek objection aa voiced by Venizelo. it insists that an outlet for Bulgaria to the Aegean Sea would be effective only If Its access were assured through territory either Bulgarian or autonomous, and declares that any other solution would be palliative, enf iling dangerous consequences with repent Bulgarian trade, it conclude' "Bulearla, though defeated and humiliated, has at leat the right to refuse this gift, which reminds her too much of the old tale of TanaoB. so thoroughly in conformity with the Hellenic traditions of the days of Troy."

The position of the United States on Turkish capitulations probably will be found to be not essentially different from the French and English positions, particularly the French, when the time comes to discuss that delicate topic.

QUITS BRIDE DAY AFTER MARRIAGE EXCUSIVE DISPATCH) SOUTH BEXD (Ind.) Nov. 26. Prof. John P. Tlernan and bis wife, Augusta H.

Tlernan, are reconciled, legally. 3Ir. Tlernan, whose marriage Saturday In Crown Point to Mrs. Blanco Brimmer was declared Illegal" nine hours later, returned home to his legal wife early this morning. Mrs.

Brimmer Is 24 years old and the daughter of the Rev. Charles H. Hawn, a Methodist minister of Hansell, Iowa. She said that she met Tjernan for the first time at the trial of his first wife's suit against Harry Poulin, South Bend haberdasher, whom Mrs. Tlernan charged was the father of her third child.

Later she carried on a correspondence with the law Instructor, their marriage taking place on the occasion of their second meeting. Just two days after Tiernan had obtained-a divorce. Judge Chester Montgomery, who late Saturday night vacated the divorce decree granted by him Thursday to Tiernan from Mrs. Augusta Tiernan, will be asked to set aside the rehearing set for December 11. George Sands, attorney for the South Bend professor, will appear in court tomorrow morning and request that Mr.

Tiernan'a cross suit for divorce be dismissed. DISMISS SOT Judge Montgomery refueed to discuss his probable course of ac tion, but intimated that the cross- run wm do dismissed and the re-hearing Automatically dropped. But the plan to "start all over again," today by the former Notre Dame University professor and the woman whose sensational charges that Harry Poulin was the father of her self-confessed illegitimate tfhild, Billy, were defeated in the recent Tlernan-Poulin paternity suit, is more practical than Idealistic. The reconciliation reopens instead of concludes the twisted story of simple, primitive emotions, and complex uncomprehen-sible actions. For the Tlernans have reunited only to separate.

Prof. Tlernan, as soon as he has sold the family heme on Dianond avenue, will go to Chicago to establish himself in a law firm. "I never met Ralph Obenchaln," Tiernan said tonight. "But I understand he is a fine fellow. I think we ought.

to get together and talk things over." With a curious detachment. Prof. Tiernan is able to regard his family affairs as a "case." and plans to specialize in "family law." WIFE TO LEAVE Mrs. Tiernan and Baby Billy who will be a year old tomorrow, will follow Tiernan. "But we will go to a different place for a w'aile, until we see how things are going," Mrs.

Tlernan declared. "Mr. Tiernan will come to see me every day, but for the present we will not live together. I believe I shall get a job. It will help me get back to normal." The two little girls, Mary and Irene, are to be placed in St.

LAISANNE, Not. 26. Tb Near East conference lias broken down. Tomorrow's meeting of the first political commission to dis cuss the Turkish southern frontiers concerning Mosul has been No date has been set for the next meeting.

A disagreement between th British and French as to what policy to pursue Is given as the reason for the break. M. Barrere has demanded Instructions from Premier Poincare in Paris as to what attitude to take and whether to make concessions to reach an agreement with Lord Curson. Lord Curzon's failure to reach private Anglo-Turk agreement on the Mosul oil fields with Ismet Pasha this evening is another reason. The Turks refuse to recogniza the British seizure of oil land despite the tempting offering of Lord Curzon, the Turks hoping to obtain full rights of sovereignty in all this region through America' enunciation of an open-door policy.

While the conference is broken the third economic committee, under M. Barrere, is scheduled to meet tomorrow Instead of Lord Curzon's committee. It is merely a pretext to mask the situation, aa it ih not denied that the success of the third committee is dependent on the first. Ismet Pasha tonight declared wished the American people, th American government and American capital to realize that Turkey eeeks to escape the fetter binding her by foreign government squeezing special right and privileges from her. "Turkey prefers to do business with the United States if the United States will stand behind her nationals who are trading In Turkey and protect them and, therefore, the United States against demands and claims of foreign powers." said Nourl Bey.

We have not accepted because we wish to confine th exploitation of our natural resources to Americans, in whom we have confidence end whose ability we respect." (the Tiger's traveling lair, left ths Pennsylvania Station at 6:05 tonight bound for Chicago, whers it is expected to arrive shortly after 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The 8 1-year-old statesman, after conferences today with Col. House, whose guest he Is in America, left the East with plans for a changed technique in the accomplishment of his mission.

For several hours today Clemenceau and Col. House reviewed together the effect of the speeches made so far. Just what changes in manner of delivery' or material for future addresses resulted from the conference was not made known, but it was indicated by friends that the Tiger had acquiesced in advice In regard to important changes of one kind or another. Clemenceau began the one-dsy Interval in New York between his return from the Tale-Harvard football game and the departure for Chicago tonight with an achievement of the remarkable. The private car in which he spent the night pulled into the Pennsylvania Station shortly after 2 o'clock this morning, and despite the unavoidable clamor of the big station the Tiger slept extremely late for him.

House, Entrains for Chicago i BT A. P. NIGHT WIRE NEW YORK, Nov. 26. Georges Clemeneean.

war-tlme Premier of France, tonight turned westward with renewed confidence In his success as messenger from France to America. The private car "Bethlehem." comings from their viewpoint- What causes the resentment, when you get down to bedrock, ap- pears to be the hurling ot insult and criticism in our faces by distinguished foreigners, for those who were aroused by M. Clemen-eeati's accusation that "America left France In the lurch," by refusing to ratify the trl-partite alliance are forced to admit that all this and much more comprehensive condemnation of the American policy since 19 1 has been uttered by former President Wilson and hU followers. The point seems to be that when Mr. Wilson and the American League- of Nations advocates tell us we have stultified ourselves by rejecting the program he brought back from Paris it's of no great moment, being all In the family, but when an outsider accuses us of moral laxity we get hot under the collar.

NO BRITISH LASH Those who are exercised over M. Clemenceau's remarks arc moved to inquire why the Tiger singled out America for a lashing and spared Great Eritain. True, England ratified the tri-partite agreement to protect France from aggresaion, but that agreement was not to be effective unless the United States ratified also. There waa, however, another agreement negotiated by Lloyd George and Briand at Cannes nearly a year ago to protect France frortl aggression. It would have furnished France complete protection from Germany but Great Britain refused to ratify It.

Does M. Clemenceau accuse Great Britain of leaving France in the lurch? on that subject the Tiger Is a lamb. One of the earliest European emissaries to tell us what we ought to do and ought not to do was our former compatriot. Lady Astor. She was inclined to be very much ashamed of her native land for not joining the League of Nations, according to press reports of her speeches.

Her shame was no less than that of the Wilsonites, freely and frequently expressed, and folks took no offense. Others, full of re-sentmept. rose to inquire with how much tolerance the British would listen to a British-born American citizen who should go home and upbraid them concerning foreign policies. Only within the last few weeks a former member of the British Cabinet has been making speeches in America, telling us that we ought not to raise bur tariff rates to the level of the Fordnev-Mc- Cumber Law, that we ought not to subsidize our merchant marine and that we ought not to limit, immigration so radically. Yet England has established ironclad protection of her "key industries" and has a tariff which the French complain is prohibitive.

FREE ADVICE The gratuitous advice regarding immigration restriction was more puzzling, inasmuch as the immigrants from Great Britain number only a fraction of the British quota established under a law designed to favor a large Immigration from Northwestern Europe. For three years there has been a persistent effort to entice or shame America into participation in European aft'airt. We have been told with all the impressiveness the Europeans could muster that American isolation was a selfish, unholy policy. Yet only a few weeks ago Bonar Law, then moving to unhorse Lloyd George, n. serted that if France refused to co-onerate it 1 would be wise for Encland to withdraw wholly from continental affairs and adopt the American isolation policy.

The man who propounded a policy that British have been wont to bemoan when pursued by others is now Prime Minister. The Balfour rote to France on war debts was another attempt to shame America for insisting upon payment of obligations pertaining to so righteous a cause as the war to save civilization. In this rase to much resentment of the gesture was stirred at home that the Balfour note became one of the indictments of the Lioyd George ministry and a contributing cause of its fall.

Investigation of the complete breakdown in the enforcement of prohibition in Philadelphia on Saturday, where 50,000 people assembled at the annual Army and Navy game may be ordered this week by President Harding. The violation of the law was so flagrant as to be apparent to the most casual observer. It existed at the game Itself. Men and some women drank underneath the stadium between the halves and at night some of the large hotels were fihed with drunks. There were so many aa to excite the anger of members ot Congress and Cabinet orfic.la.ls.

The scenes in the hotels are described as quite beyond belief in these dry days.
