CONTENTIOUS SUBJECT

Air S. M. Bruce is closely watching the issue in London.
The Times special Montreux correspondent says that Turkey states that the question is likely to be one of tlie most delicate tho conference will have to decide. The Turkish Government are in entire sympathy with tho British desire.to preserve the cemeteries, but foreign visitors and caretakers could scarcely be welcome to the military authorities.
