America at Odds With England on Oil Concessions ' * _ Entente May Be Endangered When W. S. Makes Formal “Open Door” Demand in Near East Parley. By GEORGE F. Al'THIER. Staff Correspondent The Omaha Bee. Washington, April 6.—Renewal of the near east conference to establish the status of Turkey threatens a struggle between the United States and Great Britain for commercial su premacy in the near east and far east, according to information reach ing Washington dally. The concession granted Rear Ad miral Colby M. Chester, U. S. N., re tired, is but one of the many features governing the diplomatic struggle which has been going on behind clos ed doors for some time, but which is expected to come out in tho open when Richard Washburn Child re sumes his anomalous position of “ob server” when the Lausanne confer ence Is reconvened. Commercial domination in Persia, control by the nationals of one coun try or the other of the Bagdad rail road and its extension beyond Persia into western China, with a rich prize of control of invaluable oil conces sions, are part of the struggle mani festing itself from time to time In ir ritating collisions between the two governments. Entente in Banger. It Is an open secret in Washington that the attitude taken by the Brit ish government on extraneous mat-1 ters, like the gun elevation question. | the" Burma oil documents, the .Yew- ; castle consular incident and others, Is annoying to government i is here and threatens to disturb the growing Anglo-American entente, which has long been a goal of some British and American statesmen. Lord Curzon, British minister for foreign affairs, Is the leading figure in the effort to bar American participation in the development of the near east. Thero is & growing question mark in Washington wheth er or not the British foreign office is not trying to build a backfire which will Increase Us prestige with the Knglish peoplte when the showdown comes on the ne4r eastern question. “Open Door" lT. S. Demand. Information obtainable bere indi cates that popular opinion In Great Britain does not support the position which Lord Curzon took at the Lau sanne conference calling for recog nition of the concession of the Turk ish-Petroleum company to_the Mosul oil fields and for inclusion of the vilayet of Mosul in the British-built Arabian kingdom of Irak, over which King Feisal rules. The position which Ambassador Child will be instructed to support at the new conference will be mainte nance of the American doctrine of the "open door” everywhere on an equal basis. The American government holds that elimination of the "sphere of influence” in China was but apart of n general movement to throw this international evil into the discard everywhere. In supporting the concession granted Admiral Chester, the Cnlted States takes the position that its na tionals have the right of participa tion in development of that portion of the world, regardless of mandated sec tions or of political interest. ('heftier Concession Aim. Hark of the struggle which will cen ter around the Chester concession is the quiet support which the United States is credited with having given Persia in freeing itself from the at tempted British control which fol lowed the war. A previous attempt to inject American influence in this part of the world, made when W. Morgan Shuster became financial ad viser to the shah, was frustrated by the combined efforts of Great Britain and Russia. The Persian desire to secure American guidance has finally been accomplished in the presence of i.n American financial mission, which is now preparing a new fiscal system for the Persidhs. Admiral Chester explains that his concession to build a network of rail roads in Turkey in Asia will make possible the completion of the line to Bagdad and that the Persians are pilanning to extend the line eastward lY. the direction of China. The Ameri can admiral points out th's would give access to the back door of China via the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the rail connection which would fur nish cheaper transportation than is now obtained via the Pacific, plus the rail transportation into the interior of China. •la-pan and France Watching. . The injection of American influence into this section of the world between Constantinople and India is recog nized as detrimental to the plans of the British imperialists who have long desired to dominate middle Asia as a means of securing their position in India. The flank attack on the Chinese markets Is regarded askance by. the Japanese, who have relied upon their geographical propinquity to aid them in dominating the Chinese mat hcls French opposition also is manifesting itself to the American invasion, be cause of the interests which France hopes to develop because of its posi tion in Syria. In directing the activities of Am bassador Child at the new near east ern conference. Secretary of State Hughes will be guided by the prin ciples of the "open door" and count "commercial opportunity" evolved nt the Washington arms conference but on an entirely new stage, and one which is expected to result in a de mand for a declaration of the Euro pean attitude relative to this policy. Turkish Approval Awaited. Anticipated action by the Turkish parliament approving the Chester concession is eagerly awaited and is Understood to be witheld pending the election of a new parliament in Tur key In place of the one Kemal Pasha is reported to have dissolved. As soon as this approval is obtain ed. Admiral Chester says. Admiral Rousseau, who was one of the chief engineers In digging the Panama ca nal, and possibly Cleneral Goethals, will leave at once for Turkey to be gin operations on the huge projects which they have in mind. The Illimitable opportunities which this undeveloped sv ttlo'n of tho world has in the way of furnishing new foreign markets for American goods In place of the ones lost because of the lack of stabilization in Europe is not being lost sight of by the admin istration. This opportunity, it is ex pected, would do much to assure tho upward trend of American business and prove a solvent for many do mestic difflcul'les.

Omaha to Save Big Sum by Freight Rate Orders Omaha shippers will save thou sands of dollars a ^ear, it is esti mated, as a result of freight rate victories announced by the Interstate Commerce commission and marie pub lic 6/ C. E. Childe, manager of tlie traffic bureau of the Chamber of Commerce. f Keduced class freight rates from Kansas City and St. Joseph to Ne braska points will not be permitted without corresponding reductions from Omaha. uni!er the commission's ruling. This affects all jobbers in Omaha and means a saving of from 4 to 25 cents a hundred pounds, ac cording to Mr. Childe. Another saving to Omaha shippers, particularly firms dealing in dairy products, and which probably will run between *$50,000 and $100,000 a year is a reduction on such products to points east of the IIlinois-lnAma line. Woman Says Men •> Better Dressers Expert Declares Masculine Taste in Personal Attire Shows Higher Development. Are men better dressed than women? Miss Evelyn Hansen, wide ly known authority on good taste Jjncl art In dress and home, contends that fhe average husband is the glass of fashion and the mold of form by com parison with his overdressed wife. She demonstrates this, too, tn the course of her lectures on good taste In dress. ' One of the proofs is tiie lining of a man's coat. “When, oh. .when," says Miss Han sen, "will women become sensible and imitate their husbands in such mat ters? Is there anything more beauti ful than the quiet, dark lining of men's coats? Any silk manufacturer will tell you that the most expensive silks that are woven are the ones that arc made for the purpose of lin ing men’* coats. Yet 90 per cent of the average women would think they were out of style If the linings of their fur coats did not resemble old fashioned wallpaper. “It is this eagerness to/be in style that keeps them badly dressed. In stead of asking themselves. ‘Is this what everyone is wearing?' they should ask: 'Is this the style for me?' ’’ “In buying clothes, decide on what X I b m X 3 I X ! 3 e e b I r£«>$0Op For ECOJTOMY just join the CROWDS Mint SHOP here SAT.
