Turk Proposals
Prove Kemalists’
Desire for Peace
Reply to Draft of Treaty Sum
marized by Angora Repre
sentative at Paris—Sev
eral Paris Acceptable.
Paris, March 17.—(M—‘The Tuikish
counter proposals to the I-auaanne
peace treaty draft are "replete with
evidences of Turkey’s pacificism, all
the conditions conforming to the An
gora government's desire for peace
and independence," declared Hussein
Raghili Pry, the Angora representa
tive here.
Raghib Bey, who sut up Ihrougli
out Friday night digesting the text
of this lengthy document, which
reached Paris bv courier, forecast
possible differences In the interpreta
tion of the text, according to which
nation was doing the translation. His
digest divides the Angora propect into
two parts, the first being given over
to these parts of the Bausanne treaty
which are acceptable to the Turks
and the second to the sections which
their propositions have modified.
Proposals Accepted.
In the first part is included Tur
key's acceptance of a delay in the
sr 1 uiion of the disputo over the Mosul
oil fields between Turkey and Great
Britain for one year, and its refer
ence to the league of nations for set
tlement if no agreement was then
reached; the granting of Karaghatch,
the Adrianople suburb, to the Greeks,
the draft treaty solution fot» the free
dom of the straits and the treaty's
adjustment of the minorities problem.
Turkey likewise accepts the ap
pointment of three neutral judges of
Turkish cotlrts for five j-ears and
agrees Jo reorganize the department
of justice, these stipulations being in
line with the allied plan for solution
of the question of the status of for
eigners in the Turkish courts.
Want Frontier Changes.
In the second part of the digest the
modifications include the request that
the frontier line between Greece and
Turkey run through the middle river
Maritza instead of along the left bank
and for the possession by Turkey of
the island of Castellorizza, part of
the Dodecanese group, thus leaving
Italy 11 of the islands. Turkey claims
that Castellorizza practically belongs
to the Anatolian coast.
The Turks further propose to dis
tribute the "public debt'' among the
allied governments which, by the
treaty, are confirmed in their posses
sion of territory which belonged, up |
to the time of the armistice, to the
Ottoman empire. It is argued that !
it is unjust to ask the Anatolian
faction of that empire to sustain the
burden of the entire prewar debt, i
This proposal includes the debts con
tracted In the name of the empire
during the war."

The Best Bluer to Shop After All
No. 4. Privacy in Credit Transactions
When you drop in to the Grocer
to give him an order, or, when you
hastily phone him for the next day’s
tables supplies, you simply say
“Charge it!” if you have a credit
account with him.
Why, then, be flustered when it
cotnes to buying a bill of clothing
on credit?
It should be a natural procedure
to buy clothes on payments. We
want to SELL. You want to BUY.
WE have a Credit Plan to offer.
YOU could use the clothes if you
were not compelled to lay out all
of the purchase price AT ONE
TIME.
That’s where YOU and WE fit
together hand in glove.
How much you buy; where you
buy; what you buy and how you
buy it is NOBODY ELSE’S busi
ness. It's a private matter ’twixt
yourselves and ourselves. When
you make selections of clothing,
dresses, etc., here, you simply say:
"Charge it,” if you are known to
us and have done business with us
right along.
If you are not known to us. you
simply step into the private office
of one of our courteous credit man
agers and arrange your payment
plan to your absolute satisfaction.
The office you enter is just a neat
business office, like any other neat
office. It looks just like the office
of any department store, where you
would talk credit to the same kind
of a manager in the same kind of a
room. There is no mystery; no
trap; no displeasure; no doubt; no
misgivings; it's just plain, simple,
every-day business. The world
does not know your business here
any more than it would at the
credit department of any cash
house.
We assure the world at large
that there isn’t the SLIGHTEST
reason to hesitate, apologize, ex
plain or hide the fact that you are
buying goods on credit at Beddeo’s.
The clothes you buy here are a
constant challenge to the clothes
sold by the highest class all'cash
houses you know of. The prices
you pay here are no higher than the
prices you would pay at the self
s: le, aforesaid all-cash houses.
The only difference is that some
swells would say that they have a
“chawge account” at so and so’s,
where you and we would say we
have “A Charge Account at Bed*
deo’s.”
Now, then. Easter with its de
mand for newer, fresher, more styl
ish attire, will soon be with us. Are
you togged out to meet it? And
if you are not, wouldn’t this be a
suitable time to try out the newer,
improved, all together different
Beddeo Credit Plan?
Remember, our newer plan is
NOT like the usual department
stores thirty-day charge account;
neither is it like the old-time Easy
Payment Plan of the installment
house; it’s better, more liberal,
more applicable to ALL persons
than either or both.
We want to see you here—now
—while Easter showings are at
their best.
Will you not honor us with your
presence?
Yours for Better Service,
Beddeo Clothing Co.
