LONDON, Sept. 20. (By the As sociated Press.) Pandemia, on the southern shore of the Sea of Mar mora, is burning and there are nu merous casualties, the French min ister of marine announced in Paris tonight on information from Ad miral du Mesnil, commander of the French naval forces in the nea east. i The British headquarters at Chanak have advised' the Christian, Moslem and Jewish civilians to evacuate, as the town may be helled hv the Turks, says a dis patch from the Times' Dardanelles correspondent under yesterday's lint - The Turks in their recent assaul unon the Greeks captured loot) mod ern field sruns. 5000 machine gun with enough ammunition for them for a two years campaign, accora ing; to French official advices, from Kemalist headquarters received w day. PEACE COXFEREXCE CALLED Eight Powers AV11I Act to Prevent AVar in Kear East. PARIS, Sept. 20. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Definite assurance that there will be no war in the near east and. the calling of a peace conference for the settlement of the Turkish problem were the chief re sults of the allied meeting mis ait' ernoon. Premier Poincare, Lord Curzon and Count Sforza were the participants in the conference. The eight interested powers, in cluding the Angora government, will gather around the peace taDie witn in three weeks, probably at Rome or Venice, and make a new treaty with Turkey to take tha place of the treaty of Sevres. The eight nations called together are Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Turkey, Greece, Roumania and Jugo-Slavia. Japan's inclusion at the last min ute came as a surprise. It was due to Lord Curzon's insistence. Th British foreign secretary told Pre mier Poincare that his government frankly feared the close association it had reason to believe existed be tween 'Moscow and Angora, and Ja pan's presence was desired to offset this bolshevik influence. It is remarked in French circles that the participation of Japan in sures another vote for British policy in any issue which may arise in the conference. M. Poincare In consent ing to the presence of Japan de manded also the presence of Rou mania and Jugo-Slavia. While the United States was not Included among the eight countries to participate, it Is regarded as cer tain that a mere intimation from the American government that it de sires to attend, even as an observer, will be followed by an Instant invi tation from the allies. Lord Curzon, M. Poincare and Count Sforza were in complete ac cord that there should be no war in the near east, but Lord Curzon as serted that Great Britain felt that the presence of a strong fleet in tne straits was necessary to maintain freedom of passage. While insisting on what they term their legitimate claims to eastern Thrace, Adrianople and Constanti nople, the Turks are understood to have informed M. Poincare that they would consent to remain masters of Asia Minor until the conference had given consideration to these other claims. French officials are confi dent tonight of a complete agree ment with Great Britain when the allied meeting resumes on Friday and it is freely predicted that the Brit ish troops will retire. On the other hand, late tonight in reply to a ques tion, it was authoritatively stated tn British quarters . that the British troops were in no danger at Chanak, which gave rise to the report that they might remain there with the tacit approval of the Turks. BRITISH ARE SURROUNDED !0 Planes Reported Downed Northern Mesopotamia. in BT JOHN CLAYTON. (Chicago Tribune Foreign News Service. Copyright. 1922. by tha Chicago Tribune.) CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 20. An Anatolian agency announced a com munique from Mardin on the fron tiers, of Iraq of several uprisings in northern Mesopotamia, which are rapidly becoming general. Abulkert Bey, chief of the Hema vend tribe, has declared war against the British and has taken over Sulaimanien. Chem-Chemal and other nearby villages. The first encounter was m the locality of Indemir, when his men killed a British major, two captains and several soldiers. Later Abulkert was reinforced ' by the tribes of Slngeheue and Dizane and attacked AHihi, defeating a British garrison and capturing their arms, ammuni tion and 20 machine guns. It is claimed that all the othsr British forces in northern Iraq have been surrounded or cut off from one another and that an airplane bombardment proved ineffective, 20 planes having been brought down there lately. It is claimed that the British, are preparing to evacuate Mosul. Emir Feisal has been warned that if he accepts the British mandate for northern Iraq he will meet a worse fate than he got at Damascus. OUTLOOK THOUGHT BETTER Reswed Alarms Concerning De velopments Seem Allayed. LONDON, Sept. 20. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Beyond the fact that the result of Lord Curzon's confer ence a Paris with Premier Poin care was an agreement among the three allied powers. Great Britain, France and Italy, on the advis ability of convening a peace con lerence, little has become known of today's developments in the near east crisis. The sudden and unexpected call PHOTOGRAPH SHOWS GENERAL VIEW OF SMYRJTA. , In the pnotograph a general view of Smyrna, sometimes known as "The Eye of Asia." is shown. The picture is taken looking east from the mountains over Smyrna. This great city, just captured from the Greeks by the Turks, was put to the torch by the invaders and thousands of persons were butchered by the Turkish nationlist forces. Fire broke out first in the Armenian quarter and later spread, destroying the European quarter. The American consulate is reported to have been burned. for a ministerial conference in Lon don this afternoon, which led to a formal council, caused renewed alarms concerning possible critical developments, but these were al layed later, when, although no offi cial communication was issued throwing light on the origin of the sudden conference, it was intimated that the situation instead of having undergone a change for the worse, might be considered much easier. The assumption is that the council considered the projected peace con ference and M. Poincare's explicit statement that under no circum stances would French soldiers be employed against the Kemalists. Evidence that the British govern ment has apprehensions that Kemal Pasha may attempt, to invade the neutral zone is found in the anxiety the government displays to- make clear that the Greeks at no time have been within the Chanak neutral zone. This statement reveals the desire to prove that Kemal has no valid excuse to violate the neutral zone. That this anxiety is not misplaced is indicated in news dispatches from the Associated Press correspondent today that the Angora assembly has confirmed Kemal -Pashas dic tatorship and accorded him a fore hand in the present crisis and the report current in . Constantinople that the Kemalist are preparing for an attempt on the straits before the end of the present week and before Great Britain is able to get up reinforcements. ; - AMERICANS ON DESTROYERS Message Reports Fire at Smyrna Still Burning. WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 20. All Americans known to be p. or about Smyrna, except Consul Barres and two women named BlacKler, have been taken aboard American destroyers in the harbor, according o a message from the destroyer l.d- sall dated SeptemBer 17 and received at the state department today through Rear-Admiral Bristol at Constantinople. The message said the fire was still burning at Smyrna on Septem ber 17, but that It was not cons'd ered dangerous. ALLIES WATCHING RUSSIA Danger of Bolshevik Attack Through Rumania Looms. BY JOHN CLAYTON. (Chicago Tribune Foreign News Service. Copyright, 1822, by tha Chicago Tribune.) CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 20. With England definitely determined to fight in defense of Constantinople and with France as definitely decided not to partake of military or naval operations, the eyes of the allied military leaders are turning toward Russia. There is an immediate dan ger from Mustapha Kemal Pasha's army, but lurking in the back ground is the red army and the probability of an attack by the bol sheviks through Roumania. The skirmish between a Russian band a Roumanian border patrol, coupled with Foreign Minister Tchitcherin's hasty departure for Moscow, has brought out in sharp relief the Russian menace to Great Britain's position in the near east. The spirit of unrest in Bulgaria adds to the danger of the situation. The tone of all the proclamations published in the interior of Anatolia indicates that the, nationalists are ready to carry through to a finish. At a banquet at Angora to Tuszef Kemal on Sunday night Raouf Bey, president of the national assembly, said: "Turkey has no desire to become . FOR CONSTIPATION BILIOUSNESS Headache INDIGESTION , Stomach Trouble SOLD EVERYWHERE- a conqueror, but to vindicate her legitimate rights with all her power. Turkey cannot renounce these rights at any price. Without any aggressive extremes we must persist until we achieve our national aspirations." Yuszef Kemal in his address said: "Turkey is now conscious of her force and her rights. She will per sist them until she has achieved her aims." Mr. Araloffthe, soviet representa tive at Angora, gave an indication or the soviet attitude, when- he said "Russia is happy ' and interested in the Turk victory. All Russia hopes to see you fully achieve .your goal. REDS TO GUARD FRONTIERS No Aid to Be Given- Turks, Says Chiet of Staff. BY GEORGE SELDES. (Chicago Tribune Foreign News Service. (Copyrtetnt. 181:2, by the Chlcaso Tribune.) MOSCOW, Sept. 20. No Russian army will be sent to Asia Minor or elsewhere to help the Turks. The -ninth Russian or Caucasian army, about which there has been considerable speculation abroad, will be held to guard the Russian frontiers, especially the Baku oil fields. Russian headquarters is in formed that the Turkish army is adequately equipped and strong enough, numerically, to capture Constantinople and to enforce all the Turkish nationalist claims. These statements were made by Leon Trotzky's chief of the general staff, M. Daniloff, tvho is chief commissar of the red army staff. General Daniloff declared that it is more Important for Russia to keep the Caucasian army guarding the oil fields against an outside attack than to help Turkey, which is pre pared to win anyway, even should Russia desire to extend military aid. Not a single battalion, not a single officer is with the Turks, the chief of staff asserted, and which the Greek military intelligence would verify. "Russia has no intention of send ing troops to Asia Minor," said Gen eral Daniloff, "nor is - there any truth in rumors of Russian rein forcement on the Esthonian, Lat vian and Polish frontiers. The ru mors were probably spread to affect the rate of money exchange. It is true wa have an army on the west front, but the Polish reports of a war, like the rumors of reinforce ments, are nat true. Russia does not want fighting on any front, and besides, any military man knows it would be fooliBh to begin anything in September, with winter immi nent." Bend Schools Overcrowded. BEND, Or., Sept. 20. (Special.) An increase of 148 pupils over a week ago was revealed today when enrollment figures from the Bend schools .were made public.

Weldner, aged 25, of Olympia a few minutes before noon today, forced Mra Weidner into the bedroom, silenced her screams withV threat to kill her and her two small children and when she fought him he forced the con tents of a small bottle of Iodine down hr throat. Taking fright at Mrs. Weidner"s- announcement that her husband might' arrive any mo ment, the assailant fled through the back door and disappeared in the brush ,back of the house. When Mr. Weidner reached home he found his wife too ill to give alarm, lying in a stupor on her bed. Her condition aside from the nerv ous shock is not serious. Police were notified immediately and citizen posses began scouring the woods east of the city. At o'clock police headquarters received telephone call from Mrs. W. W. Bostian, residing on a ranch on the Pleasant Glade road, about two miles from the Weidner residence, stating that a man had threatened her with a club a few moments before, but had not advanced inside the fence. He disappeared into the woods back of the house, she said. Mrs. Bostian did not know of the Weidner attack. Ten minutes later a dozen men were scouring- the woods back of the Bostian place, but without result. Mrs. Weidner says her assailant entered through the kitchen door, while she was working in the kitchen. 'I've been after you for some time and now I've got you," she says he told her, ordering her to go into the bedroom. Mrs. Weidner screamed.
