THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, 3IARCII 27, 1921 . E Nationalists Reported to Be Retreating to Mountains. BAGDAD RAILWAY NEARED Eskl-Shclir, Junction Point, Is Said to Be About to Be Taken. Support Denied by British. CONSTANTINOPLE, March 26. (By the Associated Press.) The Greeks today were reported to be making notable progress in their offensive against the Turkish nationalists. Messages received here said they are approaching Eski-Shehr, the junction point on the Bagdad railway where the line to Angora joins the main line, and Afiun-Karahissar, further south on the main line where the road turns in the direction of Konieh, 140 miles distant. The Turks were withdrawing slowly into the mountain fastnesses defending Eski-Shehr and Afiun Karahissar, where they were expected to make their final stand, unless they should be able to hold the Greeks in the treacherous passes in the valleys. The Greeks were advancing slowly the entire army moving as a unit on a front now extending from Adabazar, 20 miles southeast of Ismid, to Bille- jik, 50 miles east of Brussa, to Aghar dagh. The latter mountain, which is well fortified, the Greeks captured in Hard righting. The Brussa front was presenting In teresting possibilities, according to military experts. There a Greek divi sion entered into action, captured Adabazar and passed over it, although the Turks had a number of regiments mere. In view of Greek propaganda with regard to the attitude of the allied governments toward the Greek cam paign in Asia Minor, the British au thorities, through Reuter's Agency, have issued a denial that Great Brit ain is supporting the offensive or that it has her approval. STEADY GAIXS ARE REPORTED Losses to Greek Forces Said to Be Insignificant. ATHENS. March 26. Continued suc cesses againet(the Turkish national ists In Asia Minor were reported from the Ushak and Brusa fronts, accord ing to an official statement issued here. The Greeks, it was declared, were not encountering much resistance in their advance toward Eski-Shehr. The enemy had been driven back to a line 30 m'lea east of Ushak on Thursday and 200 were taken pris oner, the communication said. In the Brusa section the Turks were driven from positions east of the city, the Greeks occupying a line six miles east of the city with insignificant losses. Reds Promise Nationalists Aid. LONDON, March 26. The agreement recently reached between the bolshe viki and the Turkish nationalists con cerning the evacuation of Batum spec ified that the bolsheviki shall aid the nationalists against the Greeks with men and munitions, said a Constanti nople dispatch under Friday's date received by the Exchange Telegraph company. UNION TERMINAL LOOMS fOntlnnrd From Flirt Pa St. ) ing that he believed the executives concerned can so arrange matters as to submit their proposal to the city council "within 30 days." That would be ample time. It Is believed, for the mayor and the commissioners to give it '"full consideration." "I believe that the interests In volved can so arrange matters as to hold a meeting in Portland within 30 days that this matter may be laid before the Portland council," was Mr. Gray's statement. Two Avenues Are Open. There are but two ways to get the Immediate action necessary to bring about speedy construction of the great terminal project. One is by the council acting under the authority granted by the legislative act, and ordering vacation of the streets nec essary to the project, or by submit ting it to a vote of the people at the election in early June. Otherwise there would be no opportunity for a vote until cne year from next May, when primaries take place, or the following November at the city and state election, at which two commis sioners also would be chosen. That would mean a delay that would be most unfortunate for Portland, it was pointed out last night, and must be avoided, if at all possible. As to the legislative act fathered by K. K. Kubli. representative from Multnomah county and a resident of Portland, it was introduced to enable tho city council to act on street vaca tions prohibited by the so-called Zleg ler amendment to the charter, which forbade vacations within 1000 feet of the harbor lines except by vole of the people. Mnnre la Opposed. When the measure was introduced Into the Oregon house by Mr. Kubll certain members of the city council, including Commissioners Bigelow and Barbur, opposed it, holding that It had not been authorized by the coun cil, and approval of the bill was with held. However. it passed both branches, was signed by the governor and will become a law before long. No emergency clause having been at tached to It. It docs not become ef fective for 90 days from date of its passage. There never has been a formal statement of the attitude of any mem ber of the council since the passage of the bill, but It has been generally believed that at least some of the commissioners' would not care to act under its provisions, but would Insist onv referring street vacations to the people. This, however, is unofficial, and there has never been any occa HAVE TOU HEARD GODOWSKY PLAY THIS WEEK? Come and listen to his three great piano records.

GREEKS MAK battli TURKS sion for an expression from them, as the railroad executives have not been before them on the subject. Terminal Project Huge. The terminal project involves the construction of large freight accom modations on property owned by the Union Pacific system at Guild's lake, designed to care for operations now carried on In the yards close to the union passenger station. The object is to provide Portland with a mod ern terminal and to make room for the accommodation of not only the tenant owners of the Northern Pacific Terminal company, but to Include there the trains of the Great Northern and the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railways. The latter two are now using the terminal, facilities by agreement with the others, following a recent meeting of executives, dur ing which all phases of the project were threshed out and a decision was reached to proceed with the project now under discussion. Mr. Gray was unable to say just when the meeting will be held at which final discussion of the project will take place except that he thought it can be within 30 days. Jndee Lovett la Silent. ' Judge Lovett, while deeply inter ested In the terminal project, referred all questions thereon to Mr. Gray. The latter Is quite familiar with all phases of the situation, having been a resident of Portland in times past when he was an executive of the o called Hill lines. On matters connected with the re adjustment of the railroad situation, both officials were "coneervative." and Judge Lovett said "I guess every one realizes that there must be an adjustment." undoubtedly. It le said. significant of the fact that he might be able to particularize more luny were it not for the fact that the rail road executives of the country have placed their case before the United States labor board, sitting at Chi cago, and must await a decision, and it would not be ethical for him to go into details. "I really am sorry that I have no story of Interest to Portland." eaid Judge Lovett, with a smile, "but I just haven't" Party Inspects Lines. In company with E. E. Calvin, vice president In charge of operation; E. B. Adams, assistant to the president; R. H. Huntley, chief engineer, and J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the O.-W. R. & N. lines, Messrs. Lovett and Gray reached Portland on their private car yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock from Bend. They are "just on an Inspection trip," according to Judge Lovett, whoae headquarter! Is in New York, but who generally gets out this way at least once every year. Yesterday was spent looking over various Interests here. Including the terminal grounds and the prop erty at Guild's lake, where it is hoped the big freight yards will soon begin taking form. The party will leave for Puget sound tomorrow morning. STMIEID IS IN UTAH OREGOX SENATOR TO BE DCE AT HOME TUESDAY. Xeed of Wool Industry Protection Is Emphasized Private Busi ness Attended in State. SALT LAKE CITY, March 26. (Special.) Senator Stanfield of Ore gon stopped over In this city today while on his . way, home, transacted some private business, made come I-ersonal calls and left late tonight for home. He will not reach Portland until Tuesday morning, however, for he plans to attend to some further private business in Idaho tomorrow and Monday. Senator Stanfield expressed hope of some tariff legislation during the special session of congress. The wool situation iieeds protection more than any other industry, the Oregon senator said. He declared wool imports averaged 1,000.000 pounds daily. While here Senator Stanfield told Utah people that Ore gon people were pleased with the se lection of a western man to be secre tary of the interior, and that they also were pleased with the selection of Governor Spry of Utah to be land commissioner under Secretary Fall. It was hoped, he said, that another Utah man. -'rank J. Hagenbarth; would be come a member of the Interstate com merce commission. Senator Stanfield confirmed the report that ex-Senator Chamberlain of Oregon was to be ap pointed to the federal shipping board. The Oregon senator said he found a better feeling throughout the east In respect to business conditions. 'The bus'ness men there feel that the low mark has been reached," he id, "and they look for a recovery. Of course they do not expect any im mediate return to boom conditions. The settlement of the packers' strike situation had much to do with caus- ng this feeling, and a gradual re covery is expected." Kin Claims Blast Victim. DALLAS, Or., March 26. (Special.)

' HELSINGFORS. Finland: March 26. (By the Associated Press.) Ex tremely conflicting views were ex presed by Americans, both here and in Stockholm, who long have been watching the Russian situation at close range regarding the possibility of any1 extensive trade at present with soviet Russia." Among some of these observers the view was expresed that there are huge potentialities in Russian trade. Others took quite the contrary view. It was pointed out by many Amer icans of the latter opinion, including representatives of large banks and general importing and agricultural machinery concerns that the sale of gold by Russia to the Swedish banks has rolled up a comparatively large credit balance for Immediate pur chases of food, agricultural machin ery and transportation equipment. Export Possibilities Eyed. When this' balance' is exhausted, however, the Americans declared, they can see only flax and lumber, with possibly some leather and platinum as commodities which will be .avail able for export from Russia for sev eral years to come. One general importer, who was par ticularly interested In flax, said the United States would have little chance to obtain any of the present supply, which Is small, and it already had been largely pre-empted by the Brit ish. Finnish co-operative organizations have launched a movement to deal di rectly with the Russian co-operatives, which, according to Petrograd advices today, probably soon will be permit ted to, function with the sanction of the soviet authorities. A Petrograd dispatch quoted Nicolal Lenlne, the soviet premier, as saying: "It Is the co-operative movement which will best establish a new eco nomic circulation. We must maintain il for general distribution of products during the transition from capitalism to socialism. We have not utilized this apparatus. That is partly our fault and partly owing to the war situation when the social revolution ists, menshiviki. were controlling it. Now that we have succeded in our de fense we must not bind the hands 01 our adversaries." Free Trade Not Yet Granted. . The Finnish government Is not yet ready to grant unrestricted trade and each deal must go through the state council. All through Finland, where foreign trade representatives long have been waiting a chance to enter soviet Russia, however, deals are re ported. The government plans to develop the ice-free harbor of Rango and handle commerce with Petrograd over the splendidly equipped Viborg railway. . American diplomatic representa tives in Finland told the correspond ent that soviet propaganda now was directed in two main channels first to convince the world that soviet Rus sia wants peace and second to permit the belief that trade with Russia will kill bolshevium. Electrical equipment forms a large part of the soviet orders that have been placed abroad, as Lenlne is more enthusiastic than ever over his plan for widespread electrification in Rus sia, being credited here with cherish ing thli vast project above all others save his politico-economic programme. One of the largest dealers in porce lain in Europe declared recently he was having much difficulty in ob taining dishes and similar wares from the German and Czech factories be cause their output now was for the most part used for Insulation ma terial for Russia. Martens Snceessor Named. Maxim Litevinoff, chief of the Rus sian soviet legations abroad, it was reported from Rtval, has been select ed to succeed Ludwig Martens, Rus sian soviet envoy in the United States. Martens arrived in Moscow last month from the United States from which country he was ordered de ported by the Washington govern ment. ' The newspaper Pravda of Petro grad said the third congress of the third Internationale of Moscow has been called for June 3 in Moscow, said a dispatch from -Petrograd today.
