New York, Apri 1 5.—Suffering throughout Turkey caused by the war is described in a cable message to the American Red Cross, made public here today by Ernest P. Bicknell, director- general of civillan relief. The situa- tion has become so alarming, it is said. that the Turkish government has at last decided to permit foreign relief agencies to enter the country. “Turkish government now welcomes help,” the message says, “and through minister of interior authorizes Ameri- can Red Cross, co-operating with Red Crescent, to conduct reiief work for civilians of all races. Great suffering throughout country, particularly in Constantinople and suburbs along the shores of Marmora, at Adrianople, Brusse and Smyrna. In these regions five hundred thousand, comprising Ar- menian refugees, need help for bread Hundreds dying of starvation. No re- lief in sight. Sugar, petroleum at famine prices. Typus spreading.

Washington, April 5—A joint reso- lution directing the census bureau to collect and publish statistics of raw and prepared cotton and its products consumed in manufacture of explo- sives passed the house today, 169 to 129. Thé present law confines the sta- tistics to raw cotton. The senate has not acted on the resolution. Minority Leader Mann led the op- position to the resolution, which was introduced by Representative Heflin. Mr. Mann insisted it would be unwise to make public statistics which would inform foreien nations of the coun- try’s ammunition reserve. Mr. Heflin contended that publication of such statistics would benefit cotton pro- ducers, and declared that the Dupont Powder Company did not want the amount of cotton it used disclosed. Bridgeport—It became known the other day that federal inquiry into the drug traffic has involved several phy- sicians and at least one druggist.

The accused were represented as having quantities of costly drugs as well as jewelry and alleged i on. formerly one of the wealth- iest men in Mexico City, who fled from there with General Diaz during the Huerta regime, denied there was any | smuggling conspiracy, adding that the necklace in question belonzed to his wife. He said he wrote to s agents in Mexico City for fun and they sent the piece of jewelry, valued $8,000 to him by Lopez. He pleaded norance of the regu! on which quires that a declaration and p of duty be made in sucn cases. Although he claims to own dock con- cessions at Tampico worth $3,000,000, Ocon said he had been forced to pawn family jewelry in ord re- yment to support himself and family since coming to New York.
