GREAT POWERS DECLINE TO ACCEPT EXCUSES Charge Turkey Prolonged War By Not Less Than Two Years. Causing Loss of Thousands Of Lives to Allied Nations. Br The Aaaoclated Preae. Versailles, July 18. A threat tj drive the Turks from Europe "once and for all" was contained in the al lied reply to the Turkisji objections to the peace treaty, delivered to the Turkish peace delegation here at 4 a'clock, Saturday. Such action might follow Turkey's refusal to sign the treaty or its failure to givej it enect, the reply states. The reply says the Turkish gov ernment would appear tothink its responsibility in war is less than that of its allies and, that Turkey there fore is entitled to, lenient treatment, but the allies cannot accept that plea ,The note maintains "Turkey entered the war without a shadow of provoyeationsand by closing the straits in the face of the allies." Turkey certainly prolonged the war by not less than two years and caused los to the allies of thousands of lives and thousands oi million of pounds. f Attempt to End Atrocities. .Continuing the nqte says; "The history of the relations be tween the Porte and the great pow ers, for a long period before tk-e w?r was one long story of repeated un availing attempts to put an end to atrocities in Bulgaria, Macedonia Armenia and elsewhere ntrocities which startled and shocked the con science of mankind. It is estimated that since 1914 the Turkish government has massacred on the mendacious pretext of al leged revolt 800,000 Armenians, in cluding women and children, ami rxpelled or deported more thnu .'00,000 Greeks and 200,000 Armeni ans from their homes. "Not only has the Turkish gov ernment failed to protect the su''; ;ccs of other races from-pillage, outrage and murder, but 'thcro ii abundant evidence that it has been responsible for directing and organ mug. savagery against people to whom it owed protection. "For these reasons the allied pow ers have resolved to emancipate all areas inhabited by a non-Turkish majority from Turkish rule." . No Restriction of Trade. Referring to the provisions 6fvthe treaty concerning Smyrna, the allied note points out that they will not have the effect of restricting the trade of Anatolia. On the contrary, it declares, the freedom of the por is guaranteed. It contends that the treaty leaves Turkey, a national state with a large productive area and that there is nothing "n the treaty "to prevent Turkey from I e toming a prosperous nation if she reforms." ' . ' ' " As to Constantinople being left as the capital of Turkey, the allies say thev have grave doubts ' as to the wisdom xf this step in vew of the misuse made by the Turks of their power in the. .past. , I lv. conclusion the note refers to the possibility of the allies having to drive the Turk from Europe arid fixes a 10 day limit for Turkish ac ceptance of the treaty.

Let it not be understood rom this that the good people of this so ciety are in favor of foiling birds. Far be it from such. They love the birds as much as ever. In fact the killing of "one solitary robin, the now-famous , "Albino robin," precipitated the merry fight of last night. Charles Perkins, wearing his scout master uniform, was the cen ter of all eyes. Some wer con demning eyes. For CharlesMs the sjayer of the Albino robin.

"I think Mr. Perkins did not make a mistake in killing the white robin, from the standpoint of a taxider- tnist," said Mrs. W. F. Baxter. "But he did make a great mistake be cause he is a scout master and his killing of the bird et a bad exam ple for the Boy Sccuts." ''Does Mr. Perkins agree never to do such a thing again?" demand ed Walter Hayward. , "If I have a scientific license and a similar occasion should arise, I would probably kill another bird," RIVER OVERFLOW THREATENS FARM LANDS IN IOWA Expert Engineers Will Hold Conference Today to Ar range Plan to Prevent Crorj Damage.

On the table where President Roy Towl presided was a cage contain ing the grosbeak which was rescued from cats at the home of M. E. Lar son, Thirty-third and Burt streets, a month ago. "All this, fuss about Mr. Perkins shooting that white robin is ridicu lous," declared Mr. Larson. "The cats of Omaha kill probably thou sands of birds a year. In-the house next to mine is a maltese cat, in the one next to that is a white cat, in the next-house is a cat with three kittens.! Cats Kill Birds. "The city's full of cats and they all seem to have nine lives at least and they're killing birds at a ter ri4je rate and maiming some that they don't quite succeed in killing. If you want to do the birds, a good turn put a stop to the cat nuisance." The "wounded grosbeak, in the cage flapped hi? good wing' and said "tweet, tweet," to this speech.

PRESIDENT TAKES PART OF EMPLOYES k)rder Dismissing Number of Aged Government Clerks Is Suspended Until Wilson Can Review New Law. HUNDREDS OF PERSONS AFFECTED BY ACTION Chief Executive Believed to Favor More Humanitarian Interpretation of Statute Than Taken by Burleson. Chlraco "Trihune-Omaha lire leased Wire. Washington. July 18. No- super annuated employes are to be dis missed from the government service until President Wilson lias had an opportunity to give further consider ation to the law under which all em ployes who have reached the re tirement age are subject to dismissal on and after Wednesday, July 21. The president today sent word to the Interior'department and Postof fice department that all dismissal cases be held in abeyance until afjer the cabinet meeting Tuesday, after which it is believed the president will issue an executive order defining the actipn to be taken by all government departments. The action of the, president has served, temporarily at least, to save from summary dismissal employes who have reached retirement age, but are still able and willing to ren der efficient service. Burleson Issues Order. 1 Following the receipt of the presi dent's message. Postmaster General Burleson issued an order directing '"each bureau chieiTsuperiritendnt'of division and heads of postofficesof the postal establishment" to pre pare and submit to him "not later than 4:30 p. m. Monday, the 19th day of July," all applications of super annuates for continuance in office, "with such recommendations there on as thev mav see fit to make." I This modification of the "blanket order" hitherto (issued by Mr. Burle son under which every superan nuated clerk "in the postal service would automatically be separated from the service, will affect 200 clerks in the Chicago office, and hundreds of others throughout the country'. The president is bcleved to favor a' more humanitarian' Jnterpftf tatson of the law than that under whidh the postmaster general has hitherto acted. The committee which called at the White House this morning to present resolutions of protest against the drastic application of the law alike to. the fit and "unfit em ployes, was informed by Secretary Tumulty that the president had al ready taken the necessary -steps to forestall summary dismissals. Wilson in Sympathy. While President Wilson has not stated his position on the application of the law, fie is known to be in full sympathy with the report made re cently by Secretary John 'Payne of the Interior department, which held that each individual case of an em ploye wishing to be detained after having passed the retirement age should be decided on its merits, with the good of the service as the para mount object sought, The report was submitted to the secretary by a special committee of executives of the Interior department. v- Any ruling that" men and women must be, retired when they reached the age of 65 or: 70 years, according to their classification, would meet with the unqualified disapproval of President Wilson, and no orders from department heads or subordi nates to that effect will stand un til the matter has been threshed out before the cabinet.
