Party Defection Stirs Republicans in Washington
A New York Times Special Cable from Paris outlines Asia Minor tensions as a grave risk to the Peace Conference. Turkish actions under Mustapha Kiamil Pasha reflect Turkish leaders' doubt about a U.S. mandate for Armenia and Constantinople. Attitudes in Europe hinge on President Wilson’s stance and U S Congressional delay. English policy on troop withdrawals fuels Turkish leverage amid labor disputes in Britain and Russia.

Record Altitude Flight Reaches 30 700 Feet by Rohlfs
Roland Rohlfs, Curtiss chief test pilot, climbed nearly six miles to 30 700 feet in a Curtiss Wasp biplane from Roosevelt Field. The barograph, signed by Aero Club of America officials, may stand as official world altitude record though Casale’s 55 156 feet claim remains un homologated. He faced 2 degrees below zero, 100 mph winds, and engine cooling challenges, with plans for another high altitude flight.
