The imalists, already intrenched not far from the British position tn the i Chanek area, are concentrating forces at Ismid. the key to Constantinople. The latest concentration is viewe4 here with the greatest. @larm. The Population {s more panicy than ever as the reports of the advance cf the ‘Turks poured jn. It was believed that the Allies may be forced to abandon Constantinople if the Kemalists ‘ad. vance on the city. Authorities here are doing thelr utmost to prevent an uprising of the Moslem population. “Every Turk is soldier,"” and {t is feared that they ould all spring to arms here if a Kemalist advances over the Straits meen tration at the very gates of Constan- Ople, the situation in the Chanak at the other side of the Sea of rmora grew more acute. Turks in this area were moving and countermoving. Turkish cagalry and machine gunners were ad ing north from Erenkeu! t Chanak, where the British ate in- trenched. \ By this movement the ation of the British was threatened. In order to frustrate this, Gen. Harington hus ered detachments of British troops Move southward, toward Erenkeul. The British mobile army is strongly supported with machine guns and artillery. Officials, with the news of move- ments of the Kemalists both within and just.outside of the neutral zone, grew apprehensive that the maneu- vres were designed to cover the con- centration of artillery with the ob- Ject of attacking Chanak. Briti@h have mounted guns at the town of Gallipoll, which commands the entrance to the Dardanelles trom the Sea of Marmora.

Sept (Associated Press).—It is reported that a section of the Revolutionary army is imbued the idea of a republic and that accession of King Georga may br ompanied with some difficulties. An impressive pro-Venizelist dem- onstration occurred in the city to- night. Thousands of persons, includ- ng some of the troops, paraded the streets singing and acclaiming Ven!- zelos and waving portraits of the for- mer Premier. The throng marched to the French Legation, crying ‘Viva France,” The revolutionists have entered tho city and occupled all the strategic points and the ministries.

Since then he has acted as if he were “afraid of his job." The college is sustained in large part by the fortunes of the Ste- vens and Hall families. He has told his friends that be ‘‘guessed he talked too much." Early to-day, however, the detec- tives cornered him while he was mak-~- ing the rounds of the numerous time glocks at which he registers alt’ through the night on the college grounds and continued the work of icking up more of the interminable ‘dropped stitches’’ in the fabric of their work which marked the first few days of the investigation.

The eccentric amateur fireman has corroborated her story in almost identical language. “Bome time between 2.30 and 2.45 o'clock,” said Phillips to-day, "I was making my rounds inside the hich fence of the college when I heard a ox bark.
