The railway has been demolished and sup- plies can reach Adana only by motor trucks, heavily convoyed, with great Joss of life through the sixty-mile stretch controlled by the followers of Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the Turkish Nationalist: leader, who are deter- mined to starve out the French in Adana The siege af the city was described to the correspondent by Webster Anderson of Crawfordsville, Ind., who has arrived in Constantinopl after escaping from Adanu on Aus. and walking southeast to the Medi- terranean, The ‘Turks encircling Adana have little artillery, according to Anderson, and consequently make ralds chiefly at night when th ire town is raked, Thus far the Ameri- cans have not been injured but their buildings have been peppered and they have not been able to leave the compounds at night. The French artillery in Adana kills many Turks and affords cover for the troops which make frequent galiies into the surrounding farms ‘and vineyards for food. The Amert- cans are maintaining soup kitchens and workshops for 10,000 Armenian refugees. All the orphans of Adana ‘with the exception of 300 have been gent to Cyprus.
