(By Associated Press) Turkish na tionalist forces have seized the town of Ez-ine, on the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles and are threatening Kum Kalesi, an im portant key position to the south ern side of the straits. The Kemal ists were nowhere opposed. The nationalist move, in the opinion of the naval experts here. will enable the Turks to prevent free Ingress to the Dardanelles to the British Atlantic fleet units which are on the way from Mal ta. The important positions involv ed were up to today occupied by the French and Italians and from them the Turks can command the ;n trance to the straits. Ez-ine, seized by the Turks is a amall town in the valley of the Meander river in the Vlgha dis trict south of the Dardanelles and is less than 20 miles from Kum Kalesi. The latter town, which the nationalists are threatening, is on the waterway itself almost at the entrance to the, straits from the Agean. Both place's are within the zone of neutrality about the straits laid down by the treaty of Sevres. It is uncertain from available data whether Ez-ine is within the mili tary zone of neutrality, proclaim ed in May, 1921. There would ap pear to be no doubt, however, that rCum Kalesi is within this latter zone, against the - invasion of which warning was issued in Con stantinople yesterday by the Bru sh General , Harrington, com mander in chief of , the allied forces.

(By Associ ated Press) The first action of the league ot nations in connec tion with the present Turkish sit uation took the form today ot a unanimous resolution providing that any negotiations for peace with .

At a meeting of the Federated Patriotic Societies held at Portland, Saturday evening, September 16, Charles Hall, recently nominated as an independent candidate for governor, after being defeated in ihe republican primaries, withdrew hia candidacy in the interest of Walter M. Pierce, democratic nominee. Mr. Hall's letter of withdrawal follows; "Portland, Ore., September 16, 1922 "The duty of the hour for all patriotic Americans is courageous adherence to fundamental American ideals and principals. It was because of the apparent necessity for presenting vital issues to tne people oi tne state or Oregon that I became a candidate for governor in the republican primaries and not because of my personal ambition. My support in the primary came from those who believe in the principles of the proposed compulsory school bill and other measures affecting the public educational system and who also approve my views on economic and administrative policies. "The court contest made after the primaries brought out distinctly, and were it not for -the decision of the courts that democrats could invade the republican primaries on election day solely upon religious grounds, I would have received the certificate of nomination as the regular republican candidate and that I actually was nominated by the republican voters of the state. "Until the past week there was no candidate for governor other than myself who openly and boldly espoused the prin ciples which originally caused me to become a candidate. However, during the past week public statements of other candidates have been printed which will hive the effect of making those issues clear-cut before the people of Oregon. "For these reasons and because nrinciole is above any personal ambition, I shall take steps to have my name with drawn from the ballot. "Upon all my friends and especially those who so splen didly upheld our principles during the contests this year. I urge energetic, earnest support and advocacy of the com pulsory school bill this fall. (Signed) "CHARLES HALL."
