LONDON', Oct. tl. (By Associated
Press). A peaceful solution of the
Near Eastern tangle has apparently
been reached on the basis of the sur
render of eastern Thrace to the Turks
with proper safeguards for the Chris
tian minorities and the neutrality of
the Dardanelles.
A convention putting into effoct an
armistice between the Kcmalists and
Greeks - was signed at Mudania late
last night. The news brought greut
relief here where there was consider
able anxiety lest the Turks remain re
y calcitrant despite the newly doclarcd
unity of the allies.
While the fragmentary dispatches
from the s.ceno of the conference did
not state so categorically, it is believed
'4 that Ismet Pasha, bargalnlngi for the
Turks also is under orders from he
Angora government to which the allied
terms previously had been forwarded.
The Kemalists had boen given until
five o'clock yesterday afternoon to
accept or reject the allied proosals
and the reason for the delay is not
known unless last minute changes In
the original document were found nec
essary. It is assumed, however, that
; the armistice as concluded, corre
sponds closely to the allied terms, the
main points of which provided for
evacuation of Thrace within fifteen
days and complete transfer of the civil
administration to tho Turks in an ad
ditional month; delegation of new neu
tral zones along tho Dardanelles and
Uorphorus by mixed military commis
sions and non-occupation of Thrace by
Turkish military forces until a peace
treaty Is signed. ,

Gitfes Interesting Facts On
Developments in Aerial Mail
Delivery 18 Hours Saved
in Chicago Delivery.
DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 11 More
than twelve thousand pounds of 'first
class mall is delivered from three to
four hours earlier each day than would
be the case if the ' postof lice depart
ment had no air mall service, Assis
tant Postmaster General Henderson
declared today in un address at the
aerial meet here.
The point of view of the department,
he added, "is that the people of the
country are entitled to and should be
given full advantage of additional
speed in the matter of handling mall
matter."
. Mr. Henderson explained that the
air mail servico at the present time
consists of a relay at points clear
across the continent, that is to say,
"we do not take any particular mall
for a complete trip across the conti
nent." "iVe advance certain mail Into Cleve
land which misses tho lute night trains
out of New York," he said, "We take
from Cleveland Into Chicago, mail
which if we did not carry it, would go
Into Chicago on a train too late for de
livery in the afternoon. This process
is repeated in relays across the conti
nent with the net result that we ad
vance approximately 12.000 pounds of
first class letter mall each day at a
matter of three or four hours. It is
noticed that this three to four hours
advance may-, in certain Instances
mean a real advance of fifteen to
eighteen hours, in as much ns it means
the delivery of the mail to consignee
late In the evening, which otherwise
might not have been delivered until
the following morning."
Mr. Henderson further explained
that "to get from the airplane all that
it may offer in the shape of postal ser
vice it will be necessary to fly ut
night."
"If we are successful in this it will
mean that we will be able to make a
trans-continental flight from New York
to San Francisco in one continuous
movement, flying from New York to
Chicago in the daytlmo, Chicago to
Cheyenne at night and from Cheyenne
to San Francisco during the early part
of tho second day. We should be able
to establish and. maintain a schedule
of from 28 to 30 hours between New
York and San Francisco if this night
flying experiment proves out."
Necessarily a general election is
commonly discussed as a matter of
more or less certainty. The opinion
of the majority of the political ex
perts, however, is that Mi Lloyd
George has no intention of resigning
und that he will putup a big fight
on behalf of the coalition in which
he will have the support of Austen
Chamberlain in tho latter's forth
coming speech at Birmingham.
At the same time there are some
who confidently refer to dissolution
of parliament and a general election
in a manner implying knowledge that
the premier has already decided upon
this course.

Russia Is World Power and
Will Not Be Ignored De
clares Foreign Minister M.
Tchitcherin Dardanelles
Vital to Russian Trade.
I" 'MOSCOW,' Oct. 11. (By tho As
sociated Press. ) Russia as a world
powor must bo reckoned with in tho
consideration of all matters hearing
upon her interests such as the free
dom of commercial navigation
through tho Dardanelles and there
fore any proposition to leave tho So
viets' without representation in tho
first conference proposed hy tho al
lies for settlement of the Near East
ern question Is altogether unsatisfac
tory to the Moscow government.
in expressing this view, M. Tchit
cherin, soviet foreign minister, suid:
"Wo aro not making any throats,
and are not ruttllng tho sword, but
wo do InslBt upon proper considera
tion In all questions relating to tho
Neur Knst, .particularly the commer
cial freedom of the straits. -
"Questions In which wo have tro-
mendous Interests will naturally he
discussed at tho first conference and
the Rusitian soviet government feels
11 should he invited to thut, us well us
to the one to be held later.
"Russia today has recovered and Is
a world power to ho reckoned with.
We bellove that the action of tho al
lies In blockading tho straits, thereby
cutting, off trado from out southern
ports, whllo wo are striving to re es
tablish our economies by our own
means despite tho failure of the
Gonna and Hague conferences to help
us, Is very unjust, nnd wo will act ac
cordingly." With reference to the United
States, M. Tchltchorln said thoro were
several obstacles preventing resump
tion of friendly relations with Rus
sia. "Secretary Hughes," ho said, "has
taken a stand which has blocked the
possibility of the United States und
Russia coming Into closer relation
ship, for the time being, at least. Tho
United States seems to look upon
Russia as a vacuum so fur ns trade Is
concerned and somehow tho Ameri
cans still regard us us bandits and
.robbers and apparently will for some
time before they change tholr views,
despite- our willingness to meet tho
United States half way In any Im
partial proposals."

Wilbur LeGefte, Ex-Drummer
of Atlanta, Terms Story of
Asa Candler Anent Mrs.
Onezima De Bouchel a Lie
Creole Beauty of Unim
peachable Character.
I.OS ANGKI.KS, Oct. 11. Wilbur
LeCctte, formerly of Atlanta, ta.,
now living here, volunteered the
statement today that ho was the
traveling salesman mentioned by Asa
(1. Camllcr, in the statements publish
ed by .Mrs. Onezima DcBoui'hel in
volved in alleged reports of visits to
her rooms In Atlanta during u Con
federate reunion in 11)19.
"The wholo story attributed to
Candler Ih a lie," declared hetietto.
"It is a fabrication of scandal mon
gers. There is no finer woman on
earth than Mrs. DcBouchel."
I.eCetto said that ho had not seen
Mrs. DMlourhcl for more than a year
the last meeting being in New York
when Mrs. Ledctto and he met her.
at a hotel prior to her departuro for
Parts. The first information of tho
reported harges against her charac
ter, ho said, caino to him yesterday
upon reading a local newspaper.
"J met Mrs. Dellouchel in Atlanta
on tho first day of the Confederate
reunion some time. in tho fall of' lU1D'
having bcon. introduced by, a young,,:;,
lady from Virginia," ho -said, , "Upon .
reading the newspaper statements of , .
Mrs., Dellouchcl that Candler accused ,
hor of soliciting nnd receiving atten
tions of two men In her room,' 1 real- '
tzt-d'that I must bo the salesman re-'
forred to. '-''
'' ; Vhh With Caiiilki-.
"Mr. Candler and 1 .were the only ''
two men who could bq mentioned as
spending time with Mrs. Dellouchcl
during that convention' and sho was
constantly In my company, sho being
chaperono general of tho convention
nnd I entertaining delegates and there
were always several young ladles
present.
. "Novor nt a single time was sho
with mo alone. At noon that first
day Hhe informed mo that sho had nn
engagement with Candler, for lunch
eon. Tho young ladles and myself
accompanied her to tho llledmont
hotel, and on that occasion 1 first
met Candler.
' ' "Later tho wholo party left tho
hotel to inspect a now piano In a
store at which I was engaged ns
salesman. While in tho store Can
dler made an engagement with Mrs.
Deliouchcl to go to his homo that
evening. I was at the hotel that snmo
night when Mrs. Doliouchel returned .'
from Candler's homo with several of -
the gtfls. .
Cliniif reur. Not Sweetheart.
"I was not her sweettioart far
from It. 1 almost played tho part of
a chauffeur for hor. Sho made a
pi-actlce during tho convention of
loading old soldiers Into my car and
taking them on a sight-seeing tour . ,
of Atlanta. And I want to say In tho
defenso of tho finest -woman I have
ever met, that It was practically an
Impossibility for her to entertain gen
tlemen in her rooms except in the
presence of tho girls sho chaperonod
and during tho whole convention she
was kept busy from nine in the
morning until two the next day.
"If there wero any men associat
ing with Mrs. DcHouchol outsldo of
myself and Mr. Candler, they had to
go somo. Mrs. DeBouchel was a
pleasing and beautiful character. She
always conducted herself as a lady , ,
and never gave any man nn opportu
fty for making unconventional ad-.'
varices." ' 1
