Allied Military Circles in Con- stantinople Expect War. By the Associated Press LONDON, September 30.—The grave- ly despondent view held in official quarters regarding the prospect of avolding war with the Turks is shared In allled military circles In Constantinople, according to dis- patches from the eastern capital to the Assoctated Press. Mustapha Kemal Pasha’s require- ment that the British withdraw their troops from Asia Minor as a condi- tion precedent to a limited retreat of the Ottoman forces from the neutral Zone of the straits is looked upon by local military opinion as closing the door to pacific settlement of the pres- ent dispute. Whether this is the final view of the responsible military heads does not appear. Huge responsibility rests with the latter and thelr political colleagues. How and when the at- tempt to enforce the government's de- mand_for the withdrawal of the Kemalists s to be made now lies with Rrig. Gen. Sir Charles Harington and Vice Admiral Sir Osmond Brock, commanders_of the British military and naval forces In the near east, and Sir Horace Rumbold. British high commissioner In Constantinople. Their decision is awaited with profound suspense. 5 British Public Opposes War. It war breaks—and at the moment it needed to avert it—Great Britain will nter it under discouraging auspices. for e preponderance of opinfon in the na- tibrg is not behind the government. 18\ is impossible, of course, to say that the naition will not rally to the govern- support if flghting begins, but nt_the voice of the people, as nted by the press, is raised In condemjnation of the manner in which the whole near eastern situation has been thanaged.

Lleyd George Is Target. Some of the comments are quite viclous In tone; others credit the premier with good intentions, but, nevertheless, roundly condemn his policy. In the latter category is the comment of the influential Spectator, \ ment of the affair despicable and ex- ecrable. “All the lessons taught by one able diplomat after another about the way to deal with the Turks have been ig- nored as though they did not exist,” it says. “Lloyd George -has. turned our_foreign policy inside out and made a mess of it.” Such extracts might be multiplied indefinitely from the London and provincial news- papers. Labor throughout the country is up in arms against the idea of & new war and, although no definite threat has yet been made, there have been sinister rumors of industrial action to prevent & campaign against the ‘Turks. Britain Runnjsg Into Debt. The general anxiety of the British péople is deepened by the prospect: of additions to the already enormous taxes which are a legacy of the world war. 1t is figured in some quarters that the paratory measures for war, such as the moving of troops,’stores and war- 'ships to the near east, already have run the country into the expenditure of £3,000,000 sterling. ‘There is an unconfirmable rumor that Sir Robert Stevenson Horne, chancellor _of the exchequer, dismayed at the out- lay and the certain ruin of his budget over the capital today, causing a, #ppears that almost a miracle will be | «and; children to- EX-KING TO LIVE IN ITALY Plans Residence in Palermo—Lead- ! ers Counsel Caution in Moves in Thrace. By the Associated Press, ATHENS, September 30.—Alexandre | Zaimis, who was premier when Con- i étantine was expelled from Greece jin 1917 and whose father headed the Greek cabinet.when King Otho I was i dethroned by the revolution of 1862, has been selected to head the new minfstry, which is composed of inde- ! pendents, Venizelists and military of- ficers. \ It is now stated that Constantine 1 plans to reside in Palermo, Italy. A favorable impression was created by the proclamation of the revolu- tionary committee that the arrested political and military leaders shall remain in prison, but that the manner of their trial shall be left to the future national assembly Trials to Be Delayed. The French and Lnglish ministers emphasized to the committee that trial of these persons before a revolu- tionary tribunal would create a bad impression throughout Europe, and suggested they be given a trial such as was accorded former Premier Caillaux of France. The revolutionary committee’s de- termination to sit in supervision over the acts of the cabinet until a govern- ment, founded on the will of the peo- ple, as expressed by elections, can come into being seems to be based on the idea that the vital interests of the nation demand such procedure. Arrests as Example. The army, backed by the navy, stands ready to push on the war ef- fectively in Thrace, but its leaders be- lieve that their past experiences jus- tify prudent control in Athens by military representatives until a gen- uine people’s government comes into power. The arrest of a number of former government leaders is described as being due to a desire to impose jus- | tice as an example to future possible offenders. One allegation put for- ward Is that while in power these leaders refused to listen to the ad- vice of England that so long as Con- stantine was allowed to remain on the throne the cause of Greece was hopeless. {KUEHLING’S LIFE HERE TOLD TO PROSECUTOR Sister of Wounded Wife Arrives at Bedside in Missouri Town.

By the Associated Press. PARIS, September 30. — France stands firmly by her decision, taken with England and Italy last Satur- day, to insist upon Turkish recogni- tion of the neutrality of the zones of the Straits, and while there is no question at the moment of military force to back up this attitude, the French government will exert its fullest influence to induce the Turks to withdraw. This was the view in official circles today, following the British demand for the retirement of the Turkish na- | tionalists from the Chanak area. Critieal V3 ¢ Not Taken.

Kemal Under Pressure. The French feel that Kemal's posi- tion should be taken into account, since he is under constant pressure from the radical element in his gov- | ernment which desires further war. It is emphasized again that public opinion in France is solidly opposed to war with Turkey, although at the same time the government is deter- mined to back up England in her in- sistence upon the neutrality of the zones. France, however, hopes that military measures will not have to be considered. SHOWDOWN FOR FRANCE. Bluntly Told to Follow Britain or Cast Off.

There is no effort, however, to minimize the serlous possibilities of the present developments, and the government has telegraphed its representatives in the near east to use the full force of French influence upon Mustapha Kemal Pasha In order to effect the immediatc evacuation of the invaded zone. On the other hand, officials here say the Turks have reason for alarm in the events which now are occurring in eastern Thrace. Deportations of Mussulmans have already begun in Thrace and the wholesale killing of Turkish subjects there is considered not improbable. Reacting Unfavorably on Turks.

The statement declared flatly that Mustapha Kemal Pasha's troops must either leave the neutral zone in the neighborhood of Chanak; on_the Dardanelles, or be driven out. It had been stated semi-officially that Gen. Harrington would confer immediately with Kemal to impress Great_Britain's pacific attitude upon him, but according to last night's an- nouncement no such plan is possible, as the general would first have to consult the allles and hold in his i hand full diplomatic powers. He was instructed to issue the most forcible sort of an ultimatum to.the Turkish leader to get his troops away from the British lines or suffer dire con- sequences. H France Swinging Around. This sudden belligerency on the part of the British cabinet is not another diplomatic feint, but an earnest and de- | termined movement to uphold every ! provision of the armistice and make 1good the British policy of protecting every foot of territory declared neutral.

' | | STRONG HARMONY NOTE Greater New York Delegates and Up-Staters Approve Syracuse ! Choices. | BY N. 0. MESSENGER. ! Stalt Correspondent of The Star. BYR i, N. Y. September 30.— For the momment, in the minds of the delegates who are departing from thel democratic state convention, appre- hension of revenge by Mr. Hearst ap- pears subordinated to jubilation over the nomination of Mr. Smith. It may be safely said that 90 per cent of the delegate body were convinced that the only possibility 6f democratic vic- tory this fall lay in the nomination of Mr. Smith for governor. This feel- ing was as strong. it not stronger, in the rank and file of democrats of greater New York as in the up-staters. There was a strain of desire per- meating the mass of keeping Mr. Hearst in line if possible, but not at the expense of losing Mr. Smith. Today .one notes among the dele- gates a disposition to face the cons quences of the elimination of Mr. Hearst and go into the campaign re- gardless of what he may say or do, Tt can be stated with authority that Candidate Smith Is indifferent to what | Mr. Hearst does or says. That has, been his attitude from the fifet. when | he declared he would not run \vnh' him on the ticket, in any circum- stances. It was a matter of principle and he has never deviated from it. Certain of Support. Many of Mr. Smith's friends last night and today told him that, in their opinion, the reaction on the public from his stand for principle would be altogether in his favor, and that -a short time would bring as- surances of support. The judgment of democratic politicians here is that from this time on Mr. Smith will overtop even Murphy and Hylan in influence in the party, and if he wins in November will become the leading democrat of the nation. 3 .. Hearst's back-handed fling at the prospective candidate in his let- ter of withdrawal of any candidacy was accepted here by and large as forecast of a declaration of war on the head of the state ticket, and there 1s general curlosity as to what will be his next step. - One of Mr. Hearst's managers was asked today if there will be a third ticket. “What's the use?’ he replied. “They have done for the party in this con-{ vention all that a third ticket could lish.” “:lcto'::l said in a tone of bitterness which indicates the profound senti- ment of the Hearst followers at tthe complete ignoring of their leaders.
