Turks Yield on Safeguards for

Christian Minorities Which

Threatened to Break Parley

ISMET ANNOUNCES TERMS

Kemaiist Delegate Remains

Firm in Refusal to Consider

Homeland for Armenians

By JOHN fiADLET.

Cosmopolitan News Service.

LAUSANNE, Dec. 14.?Ameri

can mediation today dragged back

the Near East peace conference

from the brink of absolute col

lapse. Persuaded by the Ameri

can observers that it would be

unwise to antagonize the allies

any further, Ismet Pasha, speak

ing for Turkey, agreed in prin

ciple to the following:

1. Turkey will join the League

of Nations just as soon as the

Near East peace treaty is signed.

2. Turkey will consent to crea

tion of two League of Nations

commissions, one to control the

Turkish Straits, the other to safe

guard the minority Christian pop

ulation in Asia Minor.

3. Turkey will grant amnesty to

political offenders.

FIRM AGAINST ARMENIANS.

The Turks, however, were ada

mant in their refusal to allow the

Armenians to establish a national

hom* land on Turkish soil.

k Furthermore, they insisted that

the sub-commission on populations

order all Greeks living within

Turkish territory (except the

Greek residents of Constantinople

who were born there) exchanged

for Turks living: in Greece, except

those occupying western Thrace.

HOPES FOR WITHDRAWAL.

Ismej Panha outlined his new pro

posals. saying he hoped they would

l^ad to withdrawal of the charge

made yesterday by Lord Curxon

that the Turkish envoys were pur

posely putting obstructions in the

way of progress.

Ismet declared that allotting land

for an Armenian homeland would

be a violation of Turkish sover

eignty and would lend itself in the

future to meddling in Turkish af

fairs by foreign iH>wers.

Following the session British del

egates said they looked for clear

sailing from now on.

NOT DTK TO THREAT.

Lord Curzon was frankly informed

by the Turks that their concessions

did not result from his threat yester

day to end the conference at once

unless the Turks capitulated. Ismet

said that he and his colleagues had

acted in what they thought was the

best policy for their own country.

I?rd Curzon did not take offense.

"I hope to see you within the

League in a few weeks." he said to

the Turkish envoys.

The next regular session of the

League of Nations for admission of

new members will not be held until

September. It is possible that an

extra session will be held in the

mvring to vote Turkey Into member

ship.

CLAUSES IN TREATY.

Clauses will be written into the

treaty safeguarding minorities simi

lar to those in the treaties between

Jugo-Slavia. Austria and Bulgaria.

The American observers?Richard

Washburn Child. Joseph C. Grew and

Admiral Mark Bristol?were justly

elated over the success of their in

tervention. On the other hand.

George Tchltcherin. head of the 8ov

let delegation, and his Russian col

leagues. were cast into deepest

gloom. They wanted the conference

to break down.

Tchltcherin refused to say what ef

fect It would have upon Russo-Turk

ish relations if Turkey entered the

League of Nations. Russia is not a

member and has never been Invited

to join.

Diplomatic observers said they be

lieved that if Turkey would consent

to Join the other powers it would go

far towards breaking down the

Russo-Turkish bloc, thus Increasing

Rusia's Isolation.

LOFFLER COMPANY

PUNS CELEBRATION

Has Served Eleven Billion j

Meals Since Founded,

50 Years Ago.

TO OBSERVE ANNIVERSARY

Wife Aided Husband When He

Carried His Meats to Mar

ket in Basket

Right here In Washington there Is

mn outstanding example of genuine

romance In business.

. The A. Loffler Provision Company.

Inc.. of Bennlnf, D. C-, will celebrate

tomorrow Its fiftieth anniversary as

hosts of men. women and children,

who during the last fifty years par

took of almost 11.0M.0M.MM meals,

reckoning the average population as

200.000. That is. one person In fifty

years would eat M.7M regular meals.

Andreas Loffler came aero? the

sea to Washington in the late sixties,

after a- careful training in the cater

er's art of meat-glazing, as well as In

the preparation of meats for the

table. A few years later, a young

Woman arrived In this country from

abroad to visit her sunt, who con

ducted a Ninth-street restaurant

(hat happened to be next door to the

provision estsbllshment where Lof

fler was employed.

VOYAGE WAS EVENTFUL.

The young woman, Catherina, had

experienced an eventful voyage.

The vessel she was on was cai>

lured and taken to an enemy naval

station. For almost a month Cath

erina was held prisoner. Then the

vessel escaped, but fire broke out

In the ship's hold and had to be

fought all the way to New York.

There was a scarcity of drinking

vater. also.

Washington. when Catherina

reached it. was little more than i

provincial city with a number of

rural features. Pennsylvania ave

nue was, partly a dirt rlalto. and

partly a shallow lake. To avoid the

mire, people often had to cross on

tall stepping stones. Sheep, cattle,

geese and goats wandered or grazed

along the town's future avenues.

On the day after his marriage tr

Catherina. the young man began

a provision business of his own

near the Potomac river. Fifty

years ago. in 1872. all meat was

handcut. Later, enormous rocker

knives were Installed. These in

time gave way to knives operated

on blocks by horsepower. From

the time that he got up at 2 o'clock

in the morning and carried his

meats to market in a basket. Mrs

Loffler aided Andreas with her own

hands. So busy was she that It

was sixteen years before she at

tended a Washington theater.

SPECIALIZED IN 8A18AGE.

As soon as Mr. Loffler took over

th.. Ninth street establishment of

his wife's aunt. Mrs. Ebel, he be

gan to specialize In sausage making

In the "old country" he had been

acquainted with the processes 01

making 400 varieties of sausage In

one city.

The popularity of the Loffler sau

sages enabled the firm to purchase

a place on Georgia avenue, then

Known as Brightwood avenue, nea*"

the old toll gate.

It was two years after the firm

moved to Georgia avenue when

horse cars began to run In that

direction. Passengers were so few

that the car often would wait oblig

ingly for one to catch up.

The Lofflers built one of Wash

ington s first lee-maklng plants

MOVED TO BENNING.

In 1916 the sausage plant was

moved to Benntng, D. C. The av

erage yearly output Is SO.OOn hogs

4,000 cattle. 10,000 lambs and 5 000

calves. Thirty six different pork

products are mnde there. Every

day 4,000 pounds of sausage are

distributed locally, and every week

5.000 cans of sausage are shipped

elsewhere.

Loffler weekly local sales of lard

average 15,000 pounds, bacon. 20.000

pounds, and hams. 25.000 pounds.

More than 160 workers are era

ployed. and a fleet of twenty motor

cars distribute the products.

The plant Is managed bv An

BERGDQLL PROPERTY

CASE SET FOR TRIAL

Slacker Seeks to Recover Value

of $750,000 Seized by

Government.

The six months-old contest be

tween Col. Thomas W. Miller,

Alien Property Custodian, and

Chester N. Farr, attorney for Oro

ver Cleveland Bergdol!, the draft

slacker, over setting a date for the

trial involving return of $750,000

worth of property to the slacker,

came to an end yesterday by an

order signed by Justice Frederick

L. Siddons in Equity Court, setting

the case for March 15.

On behalf of Col. Miller. Attorney

Dean H. Stanley, consented. The

case would have been tried last

spring but for the insistence of the

Government on evidence that Berg

doll had renounced all claims to

American citizenship. In each In

stance Mr. Farr ha* vigorously op

posed a continuance and insisted

that Bergdoll was still an American

citizen, even though a fugitive from

Justice.

Mrs. Bergdoll, who lost her fight

for the recovery of property valued

at $1.500,000, has the right to re- i

new her attempts to recover this

fortune, but has so far failed to do

so. This case was dismissed be

cause the woman refused to answer

certain questions and refused to |

produce documentary evidence.
