Scene at Lausanne

A PETULANT TURK. MINORITIES AND REPARATIONS. (By Cabl*.—Press Association.—CoDyright.] Lausanne. Jan. 6. The minorities’ sub-commission adjourned. There was an angry scene, Riza Nur Bey heatedly refusing to listen to the further narration of Armenian sorrows, declaring that they themselves were responsible. He then walked out of thb room. The Allied mission conferred on the situation thus created and sent a protest to Ismet Pasha. The Turks failing to offer counterproposals for capitulations, the commission adjjoumed indefinitely. It will be difficult to bridge the differences. even by an unsatisfactory compromise. Ismet Pasha, interviewed, denied that he intended to take advantage of the situation created by the breakdown at Paris, saying that he came to Lausanne to conclude peace, and he was unable to see why a disagreement on the reparations question should affect the negotiations at Lausanne. — (A. and N.Z.) ANGORA’S CONDITIONS OF PEACE INDEPENDENCE AND REPARATIONS. Constantinople, Jan. 5. After the Cabinet had heard the envoy from Lausanne, Raouf Bey, the Premier, addressing the Angora National Assembly said lasting peace was immediately obtainable if the Powers recognised Turkey’s judicial independence. Turkey could not accept control over the demilitarised zones on the Straits. She must have reparations, including the price of the *Dreadnoughts not restored by Britain. If the Powers did not grant reparations. Turkey must have liberty to exact them from Greece.—(A. and N.Z.) CURING BY SUGGESTION. EMILE COUE IN AMERICA. A MEDICAL "CONTROVERSY. New York, Jan. 6. The arrival here of Emile Coue to give a few sessions at private clinic and school lectures on. the art of autosuggestion has been a veritable triumphant entry. The medical profession is divided in its attitude, some doctors declaring that he should not be allowed to practice and others pointing out that he is not violating the law, since he does nothing medicinally. M. Coue emphasises the fact th'nt he is not a mireale man, everything being done by the patient. During a public audience to-day many women rose voluntarily and revealed marvellous cures, ranging from tuberculosis to nervous breakdown, achieved by Coue at Nancy. His clinics here will be secret in order to keep large numbers, who he would be unable to treat, from attempting to sec him.—(A. and N.Z.) M. Coue, an auto-suggestion authority of Nancy, visited London in April last, and at the request of Lady Beatty, who has benefited by auto-suggestion visited the Tooting Neurological Hospital \yhere shell-shocked soldiers are treated. A hundred patients attended the demonstration. After half an hour a solider suffering from bodily tremors went up to the platform- Coue made passes and suggested that the tremors were unreasonable. Suddenly the patient, with a piercing shriek and contorted face writhed upon the floor. The effect on th** other patients was terrible. Lady Betty ran our of the hall, and Coue abruptly closed the demonstration.
