ISMET MAKES PLAINT Constant Proposals to Put Off Peace Session Are Declared Creating Difficult Situation. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 9. (By the Associated Press.) The allied high commissioners this afternoon handed a note to the Angora gov ernment representative here de manding the repeal of all measures relating to the customs, the public debt and the sanitary and other services which k conflict with the capitulations and the stipulations of the Mudania armistice agreement. Otherwise, said the note, the com missioners will be compelled to refer to their governments for. necessary action. Meeting Is Arranged. The allied generals also ar ranged a meeting with Rafet Pasha, the nationalist governor here, to whom they will submit minimum demands with a view to insuring the safety of the troops and effi cient control 0t the police and gendarmerie. The commissioners aiso will dis cuss the situation at Chanak con sequent upon .the Keinalist en croachments upon the neutral zone. The result of the meeting is not likely to be known for some time, hut there are abundant indications that the Kemalists areTn an in tractiblo mood, an instance of which are new demands for the evacua tion of the allied troops and the withdrawal of tW warships. Note Handed Kemaltsta. Ismet Pasha, the nationalist for eign minister, in a conversation with General Harington, the Brit ish commander-in-chief, on Wednes day, complained of the constant proposals to put off the peace con ference, which he said created a difficult situation. The high commissioners also pre sented a note to the Kemalist rep resentatives, protesting against the "political murder" of the journalist, All Kemal Bey, editor of the anti nationalist Sabah, who was con demned to die by the nationalists early this week on the charge of subversion. BEPLY IS STILL AWAITED Strong Protest - Made Against Execution of Editor. - LONDON, Nov. 10. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Telegraphic commun ication between London and Con stantinople oontinues interrupted. The only news that is coming in is reaching London slowly and through devious routes. Dispatches dated Wednesday, re ceived by the foreign and war of fices today by naval wireless, in dicated that the allied commission ers were at that time continuing to await a definite reply from the An gora government -to their demand that the Turks recede from their at titudewhich the, allies regard as out of accord with the Mudros and Mu dania conventions. The dispatches showed that the al lied representatives also had lodged a strong protest with Rafet Pasha, the nationalist governor, against the execution of Ali Kemal Bey, editor cf Sabah, an anti-nationalist organ. That the situation continues strained is shown by the fact that the Earl of Derby, secretary for war, was compelled to cancel a political engagement he had to night. He explained his presence at the war office was absolutely im perative. Pour parlers are continuing be tween the allies regarding the date for the Lausanne conference on near eastern affairs. Although no date has yet been set for the gath ering, which was originally fixed for next week, it is still believed here that a postponement will be taken until November 20. FRENCH ACTION EXPLAINED Withdrawal From Chanak De clared Not Abandonment. I PARIS, Nov.- 10. (By the Asso ciated Press,) The success of the allied powers in obtaining an armis tice for the Greeks is far from .being decisive, Premier Poincaire told the chamber of deputies this afternoon. The . Turkish nationalists are no longer in the state of mind in which they were when they signed the Franco-Turkish agreement, he said, and the recent incidents showed that full accord between France and Great Britain was more necessary 'than ever.' M. Poincare paid tribute to Lord Curaon, the British foreign secre tary, for the effective part he played .(Concluded on Page 2, Column 2.)

HULL ATTACKS PRESIDENT Public Sentiment Declared tc, Have Been Defied. COMMITTEE IS CALLED Members to Clear Way for Meas ure, Which' May Be Passed by End of Opening Week. BY GRAFTON WILCOX - (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 10. With the 67th congress called in spe cial session for Monday, November 20, the fight over the pending ship subsidy bill, which will be the most important measure discussed, has begun. With Representative Edmonds, Pennsylvania, leading republican members of the merchant marine committee, and A. D. Lasker, chair man of the United States shipping board, in conference today jn plans for pushing the subsidy bill, Cordell Hull, chairman of the1 democratic national committee, voiced the democratic war cry against the bilL ' Filibuster In Prospect. All signs point to a bitter fight with the prospect that the demo crats will endeavor to filibuster against the measure. - "By calling a special session oi congress to meet November 20, for the purpose of passing a. ship sub sidy bill. President Harding has shown that he has not profited by the lesson of Tuesday's great demo cratic victory, which contained not only a rebuke for the republican congress and administration but for himself as well," said Chairman Hull, "Presumably on the advice of men like Lasker and Daugherty he has decided to flaunt public Senti ment by asking a repudiated con gress to sanction repudiated meas ures and policies. "The ship subsidy bill proposes to authorize the sale of the ships of the American merchant marine which cost $3,000,000,000 for the sum of approximately $200,000,000 with an added bonus of $750,000,000; a loan of $125,000,000 at 2 per cent when overtaxed people are paying from 6 to 12 per cent; exempt the beneficiaries from taxation, and without requiring an accounting." Few Changes Proposed. That no important changes are contemplated by the administration in the subsidy bill as reported last spring from the committee on mer chant marine was indicated by Rep resentative Edmonds after his con ference with Mr. Lasker. Mr. Edmonds said that the present (Concluded on Page 2, CoJilmn 4.) IN THIS LAND OF GIANT TREES Statistics Said to Show Decrease of 25 Pounds to Person Since War Days. WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 10. (By the Associated Press.) The government has decided to come to the aid of the livestock industry and do what it can to stimulate the use of meat. A decrease of more than 25 pounds to a person in the amount of meat eaten a year in the United States was shown by latest statistics; "During the war increase of live stock production and conservation in. meat consumption were urged with a most effective artillery of propaganda," the department of ag riculture said today. "We are now producing heavily, with continued inhibition of consumption, particu larly by reason of high prices. The price situation varies with respect to the different kinds of meat and with respect to the different -cuts of the same kinds of animals. Con sumers can help the livestock in dustry and also their own pocket books by tfsing a wider variety of kinds and cuts of meat. "Many persons still hold to the belief, which was largely the out growth of unfair and misguided propaganda, that meat ,1s not healthy. Medical science has proved over and over that a large number of ills once charged against meat eating are due to infection of teeth, tonsils and other organs." The heavy decrease in the amount of meat eaten and its detrimental effect on the livestock industry, caused Secretary Wallace to call a conference recently of the officers of the department having to do with livestock and meat production, distribution and utilization. All phases of the meat problem were discussed, including the principles that must govern the department in widening the market and promoting the consumption of meat.

AND TOWERING MOUNTAINS Football Game With Pullman and Class Reunions on Pro gramme for Tomorrow. UNIVERSITT OF OREGON, Eugene, Nov. 1 (Special.) The whole stu dent body of the university - cele brated with a gigantic noise rally the opening of the annual home coming celebration. The parade was filled with noise making contraptions of every sort. Scores of motor trucks loaded with racket manufacturing equipment and with students carrying torch lights paraded through the city, let ting themselves go "hog-wild" in an endeavor to make the noisiest noise. Tractors, caterpillars, steam roll ers, sirens, rotary saw blades, steel triangles, steam whistles,' klaxons, tin pails, scrap iron and all the pos sible refuse from the iron foundries which could be converted into noise making devices competed with each other in an effort to shame the thundermaker himself.' The pyro technic display which went' with the racket added to the success of the rally, which was a manifesta tion of the spirit with which the Oregon football team with, the stu dent body behind it will go into the game tomorrow to "skin the Cou gars" of Washington state. After the parade graduates and students thronged to the campus, adjoining old Kincaid field, where the freshman class had built a 40- foot pyre. The annual bonfire of the yearling class then was ignited to glorify the homecoming of Oregon's alumni. In a sea of mud, hundreds of en thusiastic persons assembled in the light of the bonfire, and listened to a revival of the spir$ of past years recalled to the present by former yell leaders of the student body, who were called upon by the students to once more put them through the "Oskie." The spirit of hospitality and greeting was all about the campus last . night. Emblazoned display signs on the fraternity houses and the halls of residence exemplified the welcome extended to the returning graduates who have come here fot the celebration. Saturday will be taken up with not only the football game, but with various class reunions, a large campus luncheon, an Armistice day parade and two student hops at the local armory and the woman's build ing.

Vote of Citizens for Opponent Is Declared Insult and Okla boman Will Stay Away. MUSKOGEE, Okla., Nov. 10. Miss Alice Robertson, the only woman in congress, who was defeated for re election Tuesday by the man she un seated in the republican landslide of 1920, declared today that she had "been insulted by the citizenship of the city for which she long has fought and made .sacrifices," and that when she leaves the halls of congress next March she will come back home to Muskogee just to get her summer clothes. Miss Robertson said' she felt that she had not been treated fairly by the citizens of her home town, who rolled up a heavy majority against her Tuesday. "It was purely a business propo sition of sending me back to con gress," she said. "I didn't want to run two years ago and it was only after much urging that I consented, but now I'm through. "For 37 years I've lived in Musko gee and was born within ten miles' of the city, and I have always fought for the good of Muskogee just aa I did while I was in congress. If I had it to do over again I'd do the same things I have done in congress and vote the same as I did. "I owe Muskogee nothing," . she said. Sawokla farm, bordering the city, which Miss Robertson has owned since 1908, probably will be placed on the market soon as the last bit of property listed in her name here, she said. "Miss Alice," as she is known in Muskogee, said she had nothing to come back to here. "There are a lot of good homes open to me," she said.' It is reported here that she has a place waiting for her in the wom an's bureau of the department of labor in Washington. "Wouldn't you take it if it were offered to you?" she was asked. "I've got to do something, haven't I, and I haven't a cent income after I leave congress." she answered. CAR SHORTAGE IS WORSE 179,339 Carriers More Than Available Demanded on Oct. t.( WASHINGTON. D.

Armistice day and hungry cannon cOoling. battle flags furled and the clamor of war stilled, memories of the end to a conflagration that over ran a continent and threatened the whole world all these things and more belong to today. Portland will recall again the most stirring time, perhaps, in its history and probably the highest moments this generation will ever know, November 11, 1918, when peace came. It was a day of quick ened pulses, of happy hearts, of tightened throats. Again there will be the atmos phere of war-bugles blowing, tba measured tread of soldiers march ing, the olive drab that America in those heroic- days made the cloak for its bravest, martial music by soldier bands at the head of the column. v Honor to Be Paid Herv"". Once more, too, will come a keener appreciation of the brave service of America's soldiers. It will be an other occasion for paying love and honor and glory to heroes. All , hearts will bow down in memory of the deeds of those who came home and those who will never awaken to another reveille. A day of devo tion as well as memories. " That these brave men shall not have died in vain." Portland's programme for the day centers about a tribute to Theodore Roosevelt, a happy warrior. A splendid bronze of the rough rider will be unveiled at its newly estab lished location in the park block opposite the Ladd school. The statue will be dedicated to the chil dren of America and is the gift of Dr. Henry Waldo Coe of Portland and the work of A. Phimister Proc tor, noted sculptor. City to Tnke Rest. The city generally will rest from its Jabors. Proclamations by Gov ernor Olcott and Mayor Baker have emphasized the significance of the day. Business houses, banks, offices and state, city and federal depart ments will suspend operations for the holiday. Solemnity of Armistice day as one of the most inspiring of all events in the American calendar will be re called this morning at 11 o'clock, when all traffic will pause for two minutes and at the downtown street intersections 150 buglers from the Boy Scout and other units will sound "taps." School children will parade to the Roosevelt statue this morning at 10 o'clock and give a salute to the flag. The pupils will gather from ten west side schools and will be accompanied by two bands. This pageant will number 1000 children, who have been drilled by Robert Krohn, and they will gather at the armory, where the parade will form. Mr. Woodward, to Spefik. Following the flag salute, S C.
