The Turkish counter propositions to the Lau sanne peace treaty draft are "re plete with evidences of Turkey's pacifism, all the conditions con forming to the Angora govern ment's desire for peace and in dependence," declares Hussein Raghib Bey, the Angora represen tative here. Raghib Bey, who sat up through out last night digesting the text of -thi3 lengthy document, which reached Paris by courier, forecast possible differences in the inter pretation of the text, according to which nation was doing the trans lation. His digest -divides the An gora project into two parts, the first being given over to those parts of the Lausanne treaty which are acceptable to the Turks and' the second to - the sections which their propositions . have modified. ' Frontier Line Changed In the first part is Included Turkey's acceptance of a delay in the solntion of the dispute over the Mosul oil fields between Tur key and GTeat Britain for (one year, and its reference to Abe "eague of nations for settlement if no agreement is then' reached; the granting of Karaghatach, the Adrianople suburb, to the Greeks; the draft treaty solution for the freedom of the straits and the treaty's adjustment of the mi jioritles problem. Turkey like wise accepts the appointment of three neutral judges of Turkish courts for five years and agrees to re-organize the department of Justice, these stipulations being in line with the allied plan for solu tion of the question of the status of foreigners in the Turkish courts. In the second part of the digest the modifications noted include the request that the frontier line between Greece and Turkey run through the middle of the river Martlza instead of along left bank, and for the possession of Turkey of the island of Castelloriza, part of the Dodecanese group. Turkey claims the Castelloriza practically belongs to the Anatolian coast. .The Turks further propose to distribute the "public debt" among the allied governments which by the treaty are confirmed in their possession of territory which be longed up to the time of the ar mistice to the Ottoman empire. It is further proposed that the 47 articles in the treaty dealing with financial matters be separ ated., from the body of thedocu ment and settled at a future date. The: Turks ask tha.t the ques tion jdf Greece's war indemnity to Turkey be settled directly between the two interested nations, or in case of disagreement, by, arbitra tion.
