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.

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.

Jackson, Cal All 47 of the miners
entombed in the Argonaut mine Aug
ust 27 ure dead, it was announced of
ficially. 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.
