TURKS END MANEUVERS (Continued From, Flnet Page.) of peace. -.It Is certain, that the Turks will demand that they be permitted to take over and occupy Thrace immediately to protect their nationals, keep order and prevent confusion and crime with the with drawal of the Greeks. It is sug gested that allied officials and troops might be used for this pur pose. Under these heads the conference promises many disputes. In some diplomatic circles there is a certain optimism over the situation, it be ing pointed out that the Turks are too wise to fight when they know they risk all by such a course, whereas they are assured of many advantages before the peace con ferece opens. CHANAK HEARS WAR TOCSIX Such Preparations - for Battle Never Seen Before. BY HENRY WALES. (Chlraxo Tribune Forelrn News Slervtee. v.opyrignc Dy tne (JBtcag-o irlDune.) CHANAK. Asia, Oct. 1. This lit tie town of 7000 or 8000 souls has heard the tocsin of war generatioo after generation since the days when the Beautiful Helen of Troy caused one of history's most nota ble conflicts, but never before even in days of .the world war has it seen such preparations for battle. The little band of Britishers, who hold this key position to the Darda nelles, is lying In a triple line of trenches, protected by heavy artil lery, light field pieces, machine guns and rifles. Behind them In the waters of the straits He the pride of Great Britain the best of her majestic navy. Over their heads fly the newest and moat pow erful of war planes. Great Britain is prepared to give the Turk the best she has In blood and steel If he Btarts a row. E-very Tommy is confident of the outcome. There are Turks all about them, grinning through the British barb wires, but the Tommies are not worried. The most modern post-Jutland dreadnaughts. fleetest and most powerful battle cruisers, huge air plain carriers, a dozen destroyers and gunboats and small auxiliary craft, including big coffee-colored transports. Jam the narrows. Polished steel rifles athrust from the turrets and undraped with the usual mantles of canvas and the customary wooden, brass-tipped plugs are grinning gnns today. The ships are stripped for action, with steam up, ready to plunge In and support the "thin red Jlne" strung across the burning desert of the Turks by using tactio. The most powerful searchlights in the fleet are mounted en 62 airplanes aboard the Argus to light bp - the scene and direct gun fire if neces sary. The fleet's presence today is sav ing the British forces and civilian population, massed here, from Turk lsh irregulars, drunk with victory and with blood in their eyes. The fleet prevents the Turks from bringing up artillery against Cha nak on Jhe high roads, parallel with the sea from Erenkeui and.Lapsaki It would 'take Mustapha Kemal Pasha months to construct roads overland, mounting the hills to bring up guns. All the Turks seen ins'de the neu tral zone are mounted on small native ponies, averaging less than 13 hands high, but capable of going where British cavalry would be on able to follow. Francis Bacon and ,w:fe and Lee Calvert of Boston and New York are the only Americans here. From the earthquake-wrecked Calvert man s'on facing the sea. the tallest place in Chanak, I inspected the campaign zone this afternoon through binocu lars, making out a bivouac of Turk regulars on a remote hillside, then the British front, with a couple of miles of no man's land between them. Behind me was the British fleet. AUTO WRECK IS FATAL Only Son of California Attortiey General Is Killed. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Oct. 1. Sigel G. Webb, only son of U. S.

Oct. 1. (Special.) Politics, coupled with lack of har mony among members of the etate ti ir board was the real reason why A. H. Lea, secretary, last night sub mitted his resignation to the fair officials and asked that he be re leased as quickly as possible. As lone as two months ago ru .mors were current here that the in side workings of the fatr organiza tion were not as pleasant as might te desired, and as the date for the opening of the fair drew near it is said the breach became more marked. In previous years as many as three meetings were held by the board during the state fair, but this year not a session was held until the members of the board , were called together Saturday night to consider Mr. Lea s resignation. - Although the members of the fair board have not intimated whom they will appoint to succeed Mr. Lea, i( was rumored today that the sec re taiys resignation will be accepted. Reports today indicated that H. C Browne, a, member of the board, la in a receptive mood and would gladly accept the appointment. Two or three other candidates for the position probably will make them selves known this week. Mr. Browne had charge of the horse show dur ing the recent fair. Jamee Linn, president of the state fair, board; in a statement given out here tonight, denied that there is or has 'been any dissension among th members of the fair board. Mr. Linn declared that the members of the board without exception consid ered Mr. Lea.' resignation on short notice a move for personal pub licity rather than a desire on his part to retire for business reasons. Mr. Linn said the memors of the fair board would meet eoon, accept Mr. Lea's resignation and proceed with pJs.ns for next year's fair. He denied that Mr. Brown had filed an application for .the position of sec retary of the fair board. W. H Savage, C. H. Brown, J. K. Reynolds and Mr. Walthers, other members of the fair board, left for their homes today. LACK OF HARMONY AD JUTTED Mr. Lea and Board Members My Politics Is Factor in Case. Acknowledgment that politics and lack of harmony were factors in the resignation of A. H. Lea, secretary of the Oregon state fair board, who resigned suddenly Saturday night, were made last night by both Mr. Lea and members of the board. Mr. Lea said that there had been no outspoken words between him and the board, mostly because there had been no meetings. He heard ru mors frequently, he said, that some action was going to be taken as soon as the fair was over, or at latest, after election. "The constant growth of the fair," he added, 'haa made the position of secretary prac tically a full-time job and I found that I could not do justice to my other Interests. Consequently when I began to feel the lack of harmony afid support and heard the rumors. I decided that it was not worth while and turned in my resignation. Some of the rumors have been based on politics and I frequently heard that I should be asked to resign because of alleged affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan. Mr Lea has unquali fiedly denied to friends that he is a member of the klan. J. E. Reynolds, a member of the board, who was in Portland last night, declared that In his belief pol itics was the dominant factor. He said certain members of the board had grown bitter toward Lea and that a request for his resignation would hav been inevitable. Mr. Reynolds intimated that the antip athy of the board was based on charges of membership In the Ku Klux Klan.' MANY HURT IN TAXI WAR 11 Arrested In San Francisco; Olnbs and Bricks Used.

Griffith especially for that purpose. Mafor Baker, in announcing the meeting, said tlfet he had no idea whatever as to 'which five men would be placed on the commission.

The commission thus specified will work with the exposition directors in sroverning: the expenditure of the funds collected by taxation. Mayor Baker said that there was no question about the decision of the state committee to so ahead with the exposition plans, although such a decision will be a technical part of the meeting; this afternoon. Rati fication of work that has already been done will also be a necessary part of the meeting-, and when that has been- accomplished the commit tee will then officially launch In campaign for the November ballot The finance committee of the ex position has allowed the budget for this campaign, and Mayor Baker said that the campaign would be the very best that the men In charge know how to produce. It will be state-wide and entirely educational, showing the benefits to be had from the exposition and explaining - all points to the public. '.Ve want to explain everything te the public," he said, "because the public has permitted commitment of the tate in announcing the fair and extending invitations to partlcl pate, and It :s the public's duty now to say wnethcr an exposition snau be held, or the state be made fldlcu lou by failing to live up to its plans."
