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.

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

WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 20.
All Americans known to be p. or
about Smyrna, except Consul Barres

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

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

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. Today's
total was thirteen hundred and nine.
The Ki;hools are badly overcrowded.

""""
. OLYMPIA, Wash., Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) An unmasked man entered
the home Of Mrs. M. O. 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.
Mrs. Weidnex's description of her
assailant,- which tallies in some re
spects , with the description given
by the O'Hare family of the man
who attacked them at their home on
Schneider's Prairie the night of Sep
tember 7, is of a man about 35 years
"old, weight 175 to 180 pounds, 6
feet 10 to 11 inches tall, wearing a
brown slouch hat, blue work shirt
dark trousers and , a dark, brown
mackinaw coat. : The description tal
lies with that given by Mrs. Bostian
of the man wtto threatened her with
the club.
Late this afternoon a report from
Tenino stated that a man fitting
identically the description given by
Mrs. Weidner of her assailant had
passed through that town on foot
traveling south. He was carrying a
heavy brown mackinaw over his
