BY LLOYD ALLEN .)—Smyrna is a roaring inferno, with scores of enbnnned: victhond being incinerated behind walls of fire, dispatches from Constantinople and from British naval \forces anchored off the burning city, reported tonight. One hundred thousand persons are in danger of death in the jconflagration or from starvation following destruction of all food \supplies, according to advices to the London Daily Mail. Special dispatches wirelessed from the British battleship Iron ‘Duke described Smyrna as a furnace. “There is an unbroken wall of fire two miles long, with 20 dis- tinct volcanoes of jagged tongues of flame, leaping up hundreds of feet,” said this message. “Dense mobs of fugitives are huddled on the quays, trapped and forced to choose between death in the advancing flames or death in the deep waters. Their screams of terror can be heard for miles.” F LEET MOVING LONDON, it 15.—{7:30 p. m.)—The British cabinet ordered the Mediterrarran fo prevent concentration of Mustapha Kemal's transports for invasion of Europe. Fresh forces of allied troops will be rushed to Constanti- nople and the neutral zone im- mediately, to resist any attack by the Turks, it was learned after the cabinet session. of three powers will be included in this movement, but it was not revealed which nations will act. Presumably British, French and italian troops will be ordered to the neutral frontier. oe ALLIES UNITED! LONDON, Sept. 15.—The allies will stand together to resist any attempt by Mustapha Kemal Pasha to invade the neutral zone and seize Constantinople. This is the understanding in diplo- matic quarters here tonight. Diplomatic officials, comment- ing on Kemal's statement that he intended to take Constanti- nople and that he would fight the British if necessary, declared this threat was not alarming in view of the solidarity of the al- lies on the absolute necessity of maintaining freedom of the Bos- phorus and the Dardanelles. * GIRLS SEIZED! WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. — Purported details of Turkish atrocities in Smyrna — placing the number of massacred dead at 1,000 and picturing the invasion of an American college by the ‘Turks—were given out by the Greek legation here today.

Kemalist horrors in the city which was wrested from the Greeks by the Turks were described by American refugees who arrived at Piraeus on board the American destroy- er Sampson. | Fire which started in the foreign quarter lby a Turkish sergeant, according to wit- nesses, is now beyond control. The entire Greco-Armenian section has been wiped out and the flames are spreading, creating panic among the 200,000 Christian refugees. Wholesale massacres by the Turks of Greeks and Armenians are reported. Several Americans have been molested, and it is feared some may have been killed. An American millionaire named Macklachan was rescued after he was beaten nearly to death by Turks. Half dead, he was taken aboard an American destroyer. Whether Macklachan is the professor who has been presi- dent of the International university for years could not be ascertained. Hordes of Turks, bent on excesses, roam the streets sack- ing shops in the foreign quarter. A ghastly scene, in which hundreds of Armenians were annihilated, was described by the refugees. The Armenians, when the Turkish reign of horror ap- peared inevitable, fled to the harbor and boarded barges, They were overtaken by the Kemalists and many were killed after they had been unmercifully tortured, survivors said. American Consul General Horton, who was ordered to leave Smyrna by Capt. A. J. Hepburn, commander of the United States naval forces, arrived at Piraeus on the Samp- son with his family. He at once prepared a report of the Turkish outbreaks for presentation to the United States government. According to refugees, Minnie B. Mills, head of the Amer- ican Collegiate institute, told American authorities that shortly before the flames broke out she saw a Turkish ser- geant enter a building with a can, containing presumably kerosene. Refugees from Smyrna stated today that the British ad- miral there had threatened to bombard the Turkish quarter if massacres continue in the foreign district. * * - BERLIN, Sept. 15.—British troops and the Turkish forces of Mustapha Kemal have clashed near Constantinople, ac- | cording to an unconfirmed report received by the Berliner N, ISSIA |FIERCE BATTLE ON IN DUBLIN!
