PART IN RELIEF OF BURNING CITY
Won a Knockdown, Dragout Argument With
Greek Governor General and Doped Out
Official Looking Permit to Get Ships.
The reHciie of several hundred thou
sand refugees from Smyrna's rulus is
history, but the details of how it was
accomplished were, never told until the
arrival in NWv York, a few days ago of
A. K. Jcnniugs of the International

city when It fell into the bands of Mus-
tapnn Keiual and lus 'liiruisn army on

three ' Americans, backed by their
cortintry'a'prestigo in tho Near KHt, and
made bold by the terrible plight of thou
sabds of helpless women, children, and
old men. had dealt directly and force
fully with the Governments of tlreoce
and Turkey, getting ships and supplies to
Hmyriin in the f-n-c-o of obstacles that
scctwd insurmountable. .
' '(let these refugees ' moving in ' one
week or we'll make other disposition of
theni," was the gruff responso that
Kemal's officers made to the plea of tho
Americans that there were no places to
house the homeless thousands In Smyr
na. .
No Ships to be Had . '
Tt appeared to bo a hopeless under
taking. There were no ships to be bad
and most particularly no Greek ships.
Greeco was naturally Afraid that Koinal
would capture any vessels she sent into
Smyrna. As down-hearted as the Amer
icans were, they did not glvo up. It
was on September 20 that tho Kcimuista
issued their ultlmatnim about movlug the
refugees in a week. On Scptcinbor 23
Jennings and his associates had the
ships, and tire work of rescue bad begun.
Whnt happened In .those three days,
ns told by Jennings, included a little bit
of real international drama. It Included
two flying trips by tho Y. M. O. A. man
pn board an American destroyer to the
Greek island of Mitylene. It includvd
a knock-down, drag-out argumenb be
tween the relief worker nnd the Governor-General
of Mitylene. There was also
an lexchttiige of conversations by radio
between Jennings and the Prime Minis
ter of Greece. It nil ended with an ul
timatum from the American to tho
Greek Government demanding the ships
in two hours time and the Government
gave up the ships.
Known as "tho Admiral."
Mr. Jennings himself Is a man below
medium height. Were it not for his
muscular, stocky build one would 'be
tempted to coll him "little." Sine the
Smyrna disaster he has become known
throughout the Near East as "tho Ad
mlrnl." After he had brought tho ship"
to Smyrna, ' Mr. Jennings said, he
learned that tho Greek Government
thought that he was really an Admiral
in. tho American navy. The terse radio,
grams signed "Jennings" had made a
deep impression nt Athens. .
"I was in Smyrna with my wife ond
three- children," said Mr. Jennings,
"when the city fell. For weeks the ref
ugees had been pouring in ahead of the
demoralised Greeks. Notwithstanding
the fact that Komal had sent word to
the city that properly and lives would
be respected, every one was anxious to
get away. ' Italy and France sent ships
to take their nationals. The greatest
demand was for Greek vessels, and these
were not to be had. You see, the Greeks
had to use nit tho shipping they could
get to transport their soldiers.
"W en tho Turks came in they took
as .prisoners from among the refugees
all able-bodied men between, the ages of
eighteen and forty-five. Thla left worn

dren without fathers. All of them hail
