NEAR EAST TANCLE GROWS SERIOUS

Causing the Authorities Some

The Situation is

? Anxiety. The Arabs

(Dom. Press Special.)

LONDON. March l3.—Eurl Cur- zon‘s speech on the Turkish prob- lem, made in the House of Lords yesterday and other official and unofficial statements on the subject are generally regarded as showing that the Near East tangle is quite creased by complications‘ threaten- itios some anxiety-an anxiety in- creased by comptcations threaten- ed in connection with Syria and Mesopotamia. The shadow of In- dian. and Moslem opinion darkens the problem, and it 'ls believed, in- fluences the counsels of the Allies more than is always immediately apparent. '

The suggestion that the employ- ment of force against the Turks might excite general hostility in the lMussulman world is regarded m; onethat cannot safely be ignor-

ln some quarters ‘the feeling pro- valls‘ that there is danger if the Turks ale pressed they may im- mediately be joined by the Arabs.

Careful watch is being kept here on the outcome of the Syrian con- gress at Dams-sous, alld it is undel- otood any decision or proposal -by the-Peace Conference regarding Syria would be purely tentative.

Reports are current that Bolshe- vlst activities, directed against the Allies. have dropped out ill co-oper- atlon with the Turkish nationalists and in nearer India. 1t is salid that ED661811)’ trained Bolshevik propag- andlsts have installed printing presses at Afghanistan, where palli- phlets‘, written in the vernacular. with a view to undermining British ‘I'll-horny in India and stirring up

‘The floating lllfl of‘ the French offl- cor in the Adlon Hotel is only one of a series of sinllllar recent hap- penings. At Prenzalnu, a British colonel, together with a French and Belgian officer. members of tllc in- tor-Aliloti (‘onlmlsslon of Military and Navy Colltrol, while about their business of controlling Germany's disarmament under the peace treaty, were booted by the Reich- swehr troops and then pelted with rocks. tllc Belgian officer‘ being hit. Tile German officer in command of the troops claimed ills men- were beyond‘ control.

Two similar incidents are report

ed froln Bremen. Two French offi- cers called at the Bremen bar- rncks of the Relchsweill’ to an- nounce the arrival nf the French. English. Italian and Japanese con- trol offlccrs. The two Frenchmen were greeted by Nosko soldiers with n chorus of "Deutschland Uber Allies" and then beaten up. Tile officers fled to a nearby business building, where they were subse- quently liberated by police patrols Hid escorted to their hotel. The zarrlson commander had previous- y advised the Allicd‘ officers not o wear their ruillformst. but to zlimb into their "civies" and a- roid such incidents.

Justice Blinking.

Incidentally German justice is blinking benevolently at Prince Joe chlm Albrecht alld his con-feder- ntes. Tile Moabit police court this afternoon decided there was not any evidence to warrant the plac lng of the Hohenzollern prince un- der arrest. The police court found that only mild charges could be brought against lllm of libel and of attempted duress. The libel con slsted of the Princes shouting to the French Captain Klein “get up or get out," when "Deutchland Ub- er Allies" was played, and the at- tclnptcd duress consisted of the prince having thrown a spray of flowers at the Frenchmen. Tilers seems to be a concerted attempt t0 whitewash the Hohenzollern prince, or to get him oflf easy and the same thing holds good for‘ Count Von Platen.

The French military people are saying nothing, but are sawing wood, anti waiting to see it‘ the llelnocratic government takes any action savoring of good faith. '
