Kernel Pasha’s Turkish nationalist
army, which has been a disturbing
factor in the efforts of the allies to
solve the Turkish peace problem, is
being regularly supplied with arms
and ammunition from Constantinople
through Treblzond. a Black Sea port,
according to Information- received
here from J 1’. Ryan, of Muncie,
Ind., a near east relief worker in
that district.
"Arms are smuggled in regularly.
and with almost no attempt at con
cealment,” writes Mr. Ryan.
“A
Turkish schooner makes a trip ever'
tew days from Constantinople, and
i anchors right here In Treblzond The
cargo is discharged at night, ami
‘loaded into Turkish army wagons.
I that you can see almost auy night
: following the same road out of town
'that the lines of Greek refugees were
driven to their deaths In 1915 and
1916. They pass right by the Near
East relief orphanage on their way
to the interior."
"I have no way of beiug certain
where they go but most probably t
Er/.ingan and Sivas. where Mustaph.

sion, is very strong. There is 1
British control officer here of cours
but he would not believe that arm
were being shipped into the countr
until he happened to 1» out here on
night, and I showed him the wagon
passing. He h>s stopped a few o
them, but the smuggling still goes o
just the same.

rule, and to try to discredit the A|
menian government by inspiring di j
order just as soon as the Armenian
take charge.
“Yt is a pity that Admiral Brist i
and the American navy are mt
charged with the surveillance of th |
whole coast, from Batum to Be •
routh. The trouble with France an
England is that the Mohammedan
have them bluffed, on account oi

Turks are putting it over on thet fj
right along. The only nation th il
'Turks respect is the TT. 8. A."

Search for the sinews in a
Maxwell and you discover new
steels, fine steels, special steels,
steels manufactured to Maxwell's

Steels, for instance,.that make

But the great problem was to
get steels of rare quality and
