Grave fears were expressed tl;.t Kemalist occupation of Constntinople would mean a repitition of the Smyr- na massacre: England is doing all in her power to arrive at an immed- iate conference of the nations con- cerned. g Great Britain admits that the League of Nations guaranteed free- dom of the Dardanelles. Freedom of the straits, it was expressed, is of vital importance to Great Britian and the entire civilized world, The Premier stated he favored calling a congress of the powers con- cerned in the Near East: propossl in order to insure permanent peace and to avoid the calamity of war- ., Delancy was returning from there when the accident occured.

Losh (Unjted Press Swuft Correspondent) ‘Washington, Sept. 23 (United Press)—The war department has determined -that the individual sol- dier in the World War shall receive credit for his battle service. To this end it hag instituted a battle partici- pation board that is reviewing the records of every ‘“outfit” that went to France, to determine finally what actions against the Germans they took part in. Stowed away in the corner of the enormous building that houses the records of the American Expedition- ary Forces here, the Board is plug- ging away at its task. Alot depends upon it, its members say, for if Pri- vate O’Brein, 098345, was in the St. Mihiel offénsive and the records have him wrong, who can say to what in- dignities O’Mulligon’s descendants a hundred years from now may have to suffer from this inaccuracy- Acres and acres of records, piled three stories high in an eight wing- ed building, is the battle terrain of the 'Board. Records of every indi- vidual that reached France; records of every outfit that got off a trans- port are there. N The system thus is this: When a soldier applies for, a medal, the Board gets to work and determines what aotion thé Umptieth participated in. Private' Giannoccio’s personal record is then searched by another depart- ment to see if he was with the Umptieth at that time it was engag- ed. If so he is awarded the appropri- at clasps for his medal for the ac- tions which the Board has decided the Umptieth took part in. The Board’s decision becomes a history: The policy of the board is liberal its members say. Each of thefiia to- tal of four saw days and days of active front line service and they are disposed to give every scldier full credit for participating in an action even if he only heard a gun fired, With the issue before them ‘of peace or war, the British eabinet min- isters met with Lloyd George at No. 10 Downing street to decide whethér the" Turks be permitted to re-enter TRIP TO DAM TOMORROW ' Europe. (By United Priss) Constantinople, Sept. 23—Heavy troop concentration was observed ¥ round Ismid within artillery range of the British outposts. Mustapha Kemal is in personal command of the forces on this front, within strik- ing distance of Constantinople- " Turkish cavalry patrol is active on the Chanak front. Scouting and reconnoitering parties are moving to- ward the Dardanelles along military roads which were built as part of the comunication of the old fortifi- cations of the straits. If the Moslems attack, it isbe- lieved they will figst make a feffit at Chairak and then drive toward Con- stantinople on the Ismid sectori. With this city as their prize, they | belive they can dictate terms. | (By United Press) : Paris, Sept 23—The question of the return to the Turks was before allied diplomats today- The British and French cabinets met to consider the return of Constantiople, the holy city of the Turks, to victorious forges of Mustapha Kemal, leader of the ationalists. o The French cabinet approved the proposal as contained in an invit: on to Kemal to attend the peace confer- ence. The proposal also ‘included the retirn to Turkey of Eastern Thrace and the internatidnalization of the straits of ‘the Dardanelles. s The proposal with return of Eas}- ern Thrace and Constantinople ‘was tentatively agreed upon by Premier Poincare and Lord Curzon, British foreign minister, yesterday.- Before making a definite announcement, the cabinets of Great Britain and“France must be consulted: i Ny % | GREAT NORTHERN HAS :: ONLY FEW YACANCIES The most recent bulletin: of the Great Northerm -Railway company states that there are now .more’than 90 per cent as many men as.went on strike July 1..
