.'otson E S 11 Feb :1 THE VOLUME 2 BOARDIV1AN, OKEGON, FRIDAY, SEPT. 22, 1922 - NUMBER 3-3 BRITISH PREPARE TO DEFEND DARDANELLES England Ready to Fight Tur key Over Freedom of Straits. r LOCAL V f MR m WW I L London. Large British forces with heavy artillery have been landed at strategic points in the Dardanelles, prepared for any eventuality. Great Britain is prepared to fight to maintain the freedom of the Dar danelles. The Near Eastern crisis has given rise to fears that the Turkish national ist! might turn from their successes over the Greeks to attack the neutral zone around Constantinople. With this In mind, Great Britain is reinforcing her troops in Constanti nople and has ordered the Mediter ranean fleet to oppose by every means any infraction of the neutral zone or any attempt by the Turks to cross over to Europe. Great Britain also has invited Greece, Roumania, Jugoslavia and the British dominions to give their assistance in this, if necessary. France and Italy are said to agree with Great Britain on the necessity of maintain ing the neutrality of the straits. The British government holds that If the allies were driven from Con stantinople by the forces of Mustapha Kemal Pasha it would be an event of the most disastrous character, pro ducing far-reaching reactions, not only throughout all the Moslem coun tries, but throughout all the states de feated in the late war, who would be profoundly encouraged by the spec tacle of the undreamed of successes which have attended the efforts of the comparatively weak Turkish forces. Moreover, the reappearance of the victorious Turks on the European shore would, it is held, provoke a situ ation of the gravest character through out the Balkans and very likely lead to bloodshed on a large scale in re gions already cruelly devastated. OREGON NEWS NOTES OF PRINCIPAL EVENTS HAPPENING DURING WEEK OI'I'OliTl NTI'V TO HEAR UP-TO-DATE I.KCTl SMYRNA IS VAST TOMB OF ASHES Smyrna. Smyrna, which the Turks have called the eye of Asia, is a vast sepulchre of ashes. Only the shatter ed walls of 25,000 homes and the charred bodies of countless victims remain to tell a story of death and destruction unexampled in modern his tory. No effort has been made by the Turks to remove the dead and dying. The streets are full of the bodies of those who sought to escape, for the most part women and children. Every building in the Armenian quarter has been burned, with the dead lying about. The bay, which covers an area of 50 acres, still car ries on its surface the remnants of those who were massacred or sought to escape the ruthlessness of the foe. On the water front crouch thou sands of survivors who fear death in anrtli;;r form at the hand of the sol diery; there are no boats to take thcni off. MUSTAPHA SEEKS ALLIES Russians and Bulgars May Join Hands With Turks. London. With the allies standing firmly together in opposition to sur- re:;der of Constantinople, the Turkish nationalist leader, Mustapha Kemal, was reported endeavoring to line up allies and possibly precipitate another great wsr. Agents of Mustapha are in Sofia conferring with Bulgarian cabinet chiefs regarding a Turkish-Bulsar alliance. Russian troops in the Cau casus are reported to be concentrat ing to aid Mustapha, but this is not confirmed. Greeks, Serbs and Rumanians are increasingly apprehensive at Bulgar ian military activity along the Tras cian border and the cff.e, I pr.ss of there llltlHM openly throat n drastic action unless these warlike actions are discontinued.

A note found on one of the bodies Indicated that all the men had died within five hours of the beginning of the fire August 27, officials said. All the minors were found behind the second of two bulkheads they had built in a cross-cut 4350 feet down in the Argonaut mine. I he officials declared the mute evi denee of the men's struggle showed the were 47 of the most cool-headed men Imaginable. Sixteen of the entrapped miners re moved their clothes to provide mater ial for stuffiug the cracks In the Wooden barrier, hastily constructed. Then another barrier was built of rock, earth and debris. However, the gas ami fumes from the fire apparent ly seeped through the first bulkhead and tlie men fled from the site where tb were building the second one, to start a third farther on. This third attempt to wall off the death-dealing gas was made at the end of the 4350-foot cross-cut In the Argonaut, but the fact thnt only a bare start was made at It proved, the mine officials said, that the deadly gases reached it and performed their fatal office before the 47 unfortunates could raise even an excuse for a barrier.
