ing the mining operatings on the

located about twelve miles from
Strelr.a, is a base ore property carry
ing gold and silver, and as such is
unique in the Streli.a district, where
most of the properties ate copper
mines. The "North Midas," which

MIST THE ALLIES
BATTLE WITH THE TURKS?
London, Sept. 15.—The signal
collapse of the Greeks and the con
sequent spectacular victory of the
Turks lias in it the germ of no lit
tle trouble for the Allies. With the
French Inclined to side with the
Turk, and Hritain steadfast against
an increase of power for them,
with the Hussian Soviets ready to
throw their forces on t':e side which
will aid them the most, there is
enough of political dynamite in the I
neai e.ist to blow up all the assured •
peace of the past four years.
jr Two thousand christians have |
heen reported massacred in Smyrna |
after its capture by the Turks. Af-j
ter the massacre fire swept the quar-l
ters of the Armenians where the!
massacres took place, probably as a
convenient means for covering up
the evidence of the bloody spectacle.
The charge for the massacre is made
in semi-official and Greek messages
to this city, after the evacuation by
the Greek army.
All naturalized American citizens
in Smyrna have left that city and
are being accompanied to Athens by
George Horton the American Con
sul General. They are being con
veyed to Alliens 011 board the tor
pedo boat destroyer Simpson.
The nritish inhabitants of Smyrna
are aboard the British battleships
ill the harbor of Smyrna.
The Turkish irregulars are re
ported as firing on and terrorizing
the Inhabitants of the city of Smyr
na, according to a report sent by
Sir Harry Lane the British High
Commissioner, when he left the city
to hoard the Britlsn battleship Iron i
Puke, which lay in the harbor.
Later it was reported that the Ad
miral commanding the British
squadron in the harbor of Smyrna
■.as warned the Turkish authorities
of the city that If the massacres are
continued the Turkish quarters will
be bombarded.
An exchange telegraph despatch
from Athens says that Mustapha
Kemal Pasha, the leading general in
the war in Asia Minor, has resolv
ed to lead his victorious army on
Constantinople unless the powers
hand over the city :o the Turks, ac
cording to the agreement made. To
the Daily Mail correspondent at
Smyrna he also reiterated the state
i.ient that his peace terms were bas
ed on national pacts.
Washington has been advised that
fourteen Americans are missing in
the fire swept sections of the city of
Smyrna. This advice came to the
State Department last night.
SWEDEN IS UP AGAINST
BOOZE TROUBLES
Stockholm.—Legislation is Swed
en against drunkenness and conse
quent heavy taxation on liquor and
betr has resulted in very high prices
for alcohol of every kind. So much
so that smuggling of drink into Swe
den has developed all along the
coast, and it is asserted that about
5,000 gallons from the Baltic are
landed and sold In Sweden every day.
RUSSIA AND BULGARIA
SIDE IN Willi TURKS
London, Sept. lfl.—The utter col
lapse of the Greek army in Asia Mi
nor is the occasion for the bringing
up of a long smoldering Near East
question. The problem is facing Eu
rope again in a larger aspect than
it has taken since the World war.
It is no longer a question between
the Greeks and the Turks, but a di
rect conflict between Turkey and t e
Allied powers. The centre of the pro
blem concerns Constantinople and
the province of Thrace. An added
element in the question is the fact
that the allies are Jot undivided on
the question. Britain desires to keep
the Turks out of Europe, and France I
is believed to sympathize with the
Turks and to desire their regaining
of Eastern Thrace.
Au added element of concern on
the part of all is the fact that Rus
sia and Bulgaria are ready to line
up wtih Turkey in the event that a
war with the allies occurs. Leo Cam
auoff, t e commander in chief of the
Russian army is hastening to Batum
where two Bolshevik divisions are
being concentrated to assist the
Turks if Constantinople Is attacked.
This Information comes according to
the Agence Radio iu a despatch from
Moscow today.
London, Sept. 15.—The British
fleet has been ordered to allow no
Turkish troops to cross from Asia in
to Europe. Britain and France have
reached an agreement for the pro
tection of the neutral zones on both
aides of the straits of Dardenelles

Riga, Sept. 16.—The extraordin
ary conference of the revolutionary
military council which was presided
over by Trotsky in Moscow was in
accord in the plan to aid the Turks

troops which is now near Angors, in
c:>se Musiaplia ketnal Pasha decided
to make an advance on Constantin
ople. The Soviet Corps is being held
in readiness.
London. Sept. IS.—The British
government has adopted the atti
tude that an effective permanent
freedom of the Dardenelles is a vital
necessity for the sake of which Bri
tain is prepared to make sacrifices.
London, Sept. 18 — The Prit'sh
