London, Sept. 18. (By Associated Press)—The horror over the tragedy in Smyrna is losing some of its edge and public attention now is being drawn to the situation' in Constan- tinople and the Dardanelles menaced by Mustapha Kemal Pasha's victori- ous army. While the Turks continue centrate at Ismid, Great Britain is taking active steps to repel any in- vasion of the neutral territory along the straits and has called upon Jugo- Slavia and Rumania as well as her own dominions for aid. France Favors Persuaslon. France, however, is understcod favor moral persuasion force in maintaining the international character of the straits. Parls dls- patches say official circles there be- lieve the present precipitant military and naval preparatio ill-timed and provocative. Italy, too, is against relylng entire- ly on this form of defense, it i{s de- clared. Foreign Minister Schanzer is to reported as being strongly opposed to | intervention by Jugo-Slavia and the other members of the little entente, preferring that the allles deal directly with Turky. Must Observe Neutrality. Aside from general concurrence that the neutrality of the straits must be maintained, the opinion of the London press is much divided over the British government's pollcy. It is apparent that the govern- ment's reference to employment of force has made a startling effect and even where it is not condemned the editorial writers express their views cautiously. Poincare Returns. Parls, Sept. 18 (By Assoclated Press)—Premier Poincare, returning from a week-end in the country be- gan immediate consideration today of the unofficlal British note issued last Saturday calling upon the allied and Balkan powers to unite for mlilitary action against any Turkish move on the straits of the Dardanelles. While not taking the view express- ed by most of the French newspapern that the Britiah note was “distinctly warlike”” and ‘‘dangerous” {n tone, {t was emphasized at the Quay d'Orsay that Premier Poincare's eastern policy was decidedly ‘‘pacific’ and does not contemplate the use of military force.

France now has between 6,000 (and 8,000 soldiers within the zone. Athens, Sept. 18.—The Armenlan metropolitan of Smyrna who was re- ported to have been killed by the Turkish nationalists, is safe here. Australia Prepared. London, Bept. 18.—Premier W, M. Hughes of the Australlan common- wealth after consultation with cabinet, announces that the Austral- lan government {s prepared to send a contingent to the Near East if neces- sary, says a Reuter dispatch from M a T Ithe Australian parlfament, W. Paige supports the proposal to send a con- tingent from Australia but the leader of the labor party opposes it unless it Ibe approved by a referendum, | Despite outeries of the French and Itallan press against further military action there were no signs that the government would alter its avowen policy tending the freedom of the Dardanelles by force, | Discuss Defense Plans The cabinet ministers with a high ofticlal of the admiralty, the chlef of staff of the army and Hugh mon- tague Trenchard, chi the alr forces discuseed probic connected with the defense of the neutral zome on elther side of the straits agalnst possibly Turkish action, it was stated the cabinet membe this afternoon.

Bofla, Bulgaria, Sept. 18 (By Asso- |clated Press)—The organiation of {western Thrace as a buffer state be- Itween Turkey and Rulgaria, Greece and even Jugg-Slavia is looked upon |by the highest quarters in the Bun garlan government as a solution of the Balkan situation created by the | Turkey victory in Asia Minér and the difficulties which might arise |from a return of the Turks to the Juropean side of the straits. It is the feeling here that the Turks |will not easy relinquish their ciaim to | western Thrace unless the European powers agree to its establishment as a buffer state, To this, it is assrted, Bulgaria would agree. Pray For Turk Success Calcutta, Sept. 18 (By Associated | Press)—This city was placarded yes- |terday with notices announcing that | Moslems throughout India would cele- I brate the Turkish victory. All were |enjoined to assemble in the mosquew (and pray for the success of the Turk- ish arms. Geneva, Sept. 18 (By Assoclatel Press)—The intervention of the league of nations to stop the war in | Asia Minor and relieve the distress ot refugees was proposed in the assem- |bly of the league of nations today by | Dr. Fridtj of Nansen high commis- |sloner of the international commis- Ision for Russian relief. | League May Intervene. Dr. Nansen informed the assembly he had received a telegram from his delegate in Constantinople asking au- thority to use the relief organization {in helping refugees from Anatolio. He asked permission to offer a resolution |to the effect that the council of the |league authorize immediately the use jof the relief organization for that |purpose at the same time examining lunder what conditions it could In- |tervene to end hostilities. The assembly received both pro- | positions with apparent marks of fapproval. It suspended the rules in |order to refer both questions im- |mediately to committees. | The questions will come up for ac- tion tomorrow morning. | Washington Interested. | Washington, Sept. 18.—Rear Ad- | miral Bristol, American high commis- |sioner at Constantinople, was request- ed today by the state department for specific information as to the number of Amer'gqn citizens, native or natur- |alized in need of relief as the result of the re-occupation of Smyrna by | Turkish forces. Admiral Bristol last week reported that 14 naturalized Americans were missing but has not mentioned this since, and the department asked just how many naturalized Americans were still unaccounted for. Officlals {are inclined to believe that the 14 | reported missing probably left the city with relatives before the Turklsh forces entered. The department also asked Admiral ‘;Bristo\ as to the number of native | Americans remaining in Smyrna. It has been estimated that from 50 to 60 American businessmen or mission- aries were in the city at the time of the Turkish occupation and no defin- ite advices as to how many of these left the city or as to those selected to remaln have been received. Expect Curzon In Paris, London, Sept. 18.—Lord Curzon, pected to proceed to Paris with rela- | tlon to the Near Eastern question af- | ter the afternoon conference in order to discuss the question at first hand with the French government, The afternoon press continues di- vided on the British policy, London's streets are plastered up with posters and advertisements saying read about the new war' side by side with others reading ‘stop the new war.” The vening News has a column editorial entltled ‘“stop this new war.” The | text of which begins: “The country is taxed already to the bottom of its pocket and has no mon- ey for a new war." Might Frighten Turks. The Pall Mall Gazette and Globe, declares that if London and Paris show the Turks will never dare attempt to |take over the straits or enter Europe. | The Evening Standard asserts that ! the grect need is for o common policy in which France and England shall concur with complete loyalty, The view that the South African government ought to announce in the | | ciearest possible terms that the Brit- ish government had the moral support of the Unlon of South Africa and if necessary its materlal |support also in the determination to resist any violation of the neutral zone around the Dardanclles is expressad by the Cape Times of Capetown, South Africa, as quoted in a Reuter dis- patch today.

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING A special meeting of the common council will be held at 7 o'clock on | Wednesday evening to elect a succes- | sor to Edward W. Peterson, who re- signed as councilman in the fourth ward. Due to the fact that the rep- resentatives in the council from the ward have failed to reach a satisfac- | tory agreement on the selection be- |tween Emil G. Hjerpe and John Lar- son, the entire common council body |may be called upon to elect the new | councilman.
