Weather Forecast much colder with strong winds, LONDON, Feb. 8. craft at Smyrna to sels. have gone a step further ordering the diversion of Smyrna of other ships of the Mediterranean fleet. Reuter’s Constantinople correspond- ent reported this morning that all was quiet in Smyrna, the Turks hav- ing made no attempt to force the allied warships to leave the harbor. Rear Admiral Nicholson, aboard the Night cruiser Curacoa standing off lene, has been ordered to enter Smyrna harbor today to support, if necessary the cruiser Calypso. PARIS, Feb. 8.—(By The Associated Press.)}—The French press attaches the. greatest importance to the Smyrna situation regarding it to be no delicate as to rend@r the dec!ara- tion of.war inevitable unless the Turks recede from their position in demanding the withdrawal of allied warships. It js pointed out that there &are/probably ten large naval units In Smyrna... These include the French erulser Ernest Renan, at least two Brit'sh craft and one representative each of the Italian, Dutch and Amer- fean navys, In addition there is a flotilla of light craft. Le Matin remarks that to expel warships anchored in a port before the signature of peace constitutes an unfriendly act. ‘The Turkish government, the news- paper’ says, in informing tho high commissioners at Constantinople. of its decis‘on to demand the departure of the ships, justified its position py saying that British warshins could land troops at Smyrna with a view to taking in the rear the Turkish army in Asia Minor. The commis: sioners replied that the warsips would remain where they are. To this, Le Matin continues, the Turkish au- thorities announced that they would compel the craft to depart unless they went of thelr own free will. The British and French com- manders then received orders to reply immediately to any attack. If such an. incident arises, the newspaper asserts, no power, however anxious to preserve peace, would be able to limit its effect. ‘TIME EXTENDED IN TURK ULTIMATUM CONSTANINOPLE, Feb, 8—The governor of Smyrna is reported to have informed the French consul there that he has extended by 24 hours the time within the allied war- ships must leave Smyrna harbor. The governor is said to have decided upon the postponement in order that he may receive instructions from the Angora government. A Constantinople dispatch last night said that the Turks had reduced the time limit for the allied war ves- sels to leave Smyrna harbor from midnight until sunset yesterday. PARIS, Feb. 8—(By The Associat- ed Press.}—The Turkish order that the allied warships must leave Smyr- na was discussed at a meeting of the French ‘cabinet today.

No discount will be given to adver- tisers unless a check accompanies their copy. There will be a three Per cent discount where space is paid for at the time it is constracted for, The tremendous expense of putting out this directory, with the cost of paper, pictures, composition and the free distribution of many thousand copies, makes any other discount im possible. Advertisers should send a check at the time they take their space. Copy should be in early, so that spaca may be apportioned with due regard to position. The rapidly increasing list of ad- vertisers proves, among other things, the need for a directory compiled by a local organization, as opposed to the inadequate methods of such publica- tions in Casper heretofore.
