MR.SMITH,

Says Bulletin
New light is thrown upon the
dark enigma of "Who won the
war" in a Washington bulletin
received today by George A.
White, adjutant general of the
state. Not Pershing, but Legune,
not Liggett was the great Amer
ican fighting man. -but rather a
composite fellow of the name Of
Smith.
There were two whole fighting
divisions of Smiths, the bulletin
shows.' - It has taken the war de

aid of many clerks, to count all
the mehbers of the Smith family
who went to the front against the
Kaiser and with the click of the

Senator Borah's amendment

American participation In - Euro-

the ' strongest opponents of ' the
league ' of nations and treaty , of
Versailles, but in his statement
today he made It clear that -he
believed action was needed to
solve' pressing economic problems
affecting American trade. Ger
man reparations, ne said, were
the "key to the European situa

posed conference might "break
the deadlock on that subject:"

DISPUTES AT
EAST PARLEY
THREATENING
Session is Adjourned When
Greeks and Turks Start
Fracas Over Asia-Minor
Controversies.
BLAME FOR DEFEAT
PUT ON VENIZEL0S
Moslems Declared Mistreat
ed and Forbidden to
Leave Crete Area
LAUSANNE, Dec. 21. (By the
Associated Press.) A stirring al
tercation occurred at a meeting
of . the sub-committee on minori
ties today between the former
Greek premier, Venizelos, and the
Turkish delegate, Rlsea Nur Bey,
The ' dispute arose over the ques
tion of responsibility for depor
tations in Asia-Minor and was so
violent that it became necessary
to adjourn the session.
Venizelos Blamed
According to spokesmen of the
Turkish delegation, Risea Nur
Bey declared that the Greek army
was not so much responsible fori
the recent mlliatry disaster as
was Venizelos himself, because it
was Venizelos who had inaugur
ated the idea of a "military in
vasion of Anatolia." Risea af
firmed that in his opinion the
Greek ministers who were re
cently executed at Athens were in
all probability entirely innocent of
deceiving the Greek peopie be
cause the real father of Asia-Mi-
luor campaign was Venizelos.
The Italian chairman of the
sub-commission, Sign or Montagna
had previously warned both the
Turkish "and Greek delegates that
references to massacres and cruel
tiesmust henceforth be avoided,
but the Turks' alleged, Venizelos
today refused to obey this in
junction. Another Indication that feeling
is running high between the
Turks and the Greeks was found
In a communique which the Turk
ish delegation issued later, de
claring that recent advices from
Ahgora prove that the Greeks are
confiscating all the farms belong
ing to Moslems in Crete and that
the Moslems in the hills, fearing
massacre, have fled to the cities
and are dying of hunger.
"Every day more than 20 Mos
lems are lying either through
massacre or hunger," said the
communique, "and Moslems gen
erally are forbidden to leave
Crete." The Turks also allege
mistreatment of the Moslems in
Mitylene.
Lord Curzon, M. Barrere and
the Marquis di Garroni held an
Important conference tonight in
an endeavor to straighten out the
difficulties over the straits con
trol. The TuTks are insisting
strongly that the international
commissions shall have no juris
diction over such matters as the
lighthouses and piloting in the
straits, and especially shall have
nothing to do with the demilitari
sation of the zones.

NEW YORK. Dec. 21. Six
months ago Ernest Fuchs accid
entatly shot and killed his six-year-old
grand daughter, Emma
Fuchs. The little girl had dressed
as a gypsy, and Fuchs, counter
feiting fear of the strangely cos
turned mite, had playfully pointed
a pistol at her.
Today Fuchs was found dead on
the grave of his grand daughter,
a bullet through his temple; a pis
tol, one cartridge ' gone, beside
him.
. Charles Fuchs, son of oneand
father of the other, found the

WEIR'S SON
Helen Leary, waitress, Says
Boy Admitted Body Was
Sunk in Willamette
PORTLAND, Ore.. Dec. 21.
Every lead visible was being fol
lowed tonight by police detectives
in an effort to establish the truth
or falsity of the story told them
last night by Mrs. Helen Iary,
a waitress who said that she had
seen Cash Weir,- a 62-year-old
boatman, attack and murder a 15-year-oW
girl on a houseboat last
September and had then seen
Weir and his son. Earl Weir, take
the body away in a launch.
Young Weir Sought
The officers were concentrating
their efforts In the search for
Weir was said to he on a boat
trip down the Columbia river.
Their object is to find out whether
Earl Weir will back his father's
denial of the charges made by
Mrs. Leary and to learn whether
he himself is implicated ir. the
murder, if there was a murder.
Mrs. Leary repeated her story
several times today without -iub-stantial
variation, saying that she
had gone to the houseboat in
search of Earl Weir, with whom
she had been keeping company:
that she heard voices Inside and
peered through a knothole to dis
cover Cash Weir and a girl strug
gling on a bed; that the girl be
came quiet finally and that' When
Earl Weir returned later he and
his father made futile efforts to
revive her, finally taking her body
away in a launch.
Admits Body Sunk
Later, Mrs. Leary declared, Earl
Weir had admitted to her that the
girl's body had been weighted and
sunk In the river.
