today by Itewehid Paulm, ono or the
Turkish envoy to the ikmicc confer

"So far as I am concerned," said
RiHchid Pasha, "the whole matter

peace conference without direct in
structions from Constantinople.
"We have conceded everything pos.

LONDON, Jan. 9. Tho dlnputo

only serious obstacle remaining n

hero recclred fresh Instructions
from Constantinople during the night,
which. It is reported, ordered them
to refuso to compromlne until the
European powers actually Intervene.
Turkey could then abandon Arlanoplo
and save her dignity.

to be agreed upon this afternoon.

Greek plenipotentiaries here, said
todny that the Greek delegates were
authorized to Insist upon csslon by
Turkey to Greece of the Islands In

"Our failure to get these Islands"

NOT PAY DEBTS
LINCOLN, Neb., Jun. 0. Thnt
President-elect Woodrow Wilson may
bo governed by higher motives than
gratitude in selecting tho members of
his official family is tho hope voiced
by William J. I try a it in tho current
issue of the Commoner.
"Cabinet positions," says the arti
cle, "ought not to bo rognrded as
currency with which to pay political
debts.. In filling them, tho president
elect should look to tho future and
not tn the past. A public official has
no right to discharge political obliga
tions at tho expense of tho public,
"The men Wilson selects should not
bo selected, not becauso of political
service rendered him or- even becauso
of past .service rendered tho demo
cratic party. Tho offices should bo
used to strengthen tho party and ad
vance those things for which tin
party stands, '
"Tho Commoner declines to discuss
cabinet position possibilities, hut it
ventures to express tho hope that
Wilson will bo govorncd by higher
motives than grutitudu in selecting
the members of his cubiuet."
