IN 1 CAMPS ON
LONDON, Fell. 2 I. Agitation in
favor of expelling tho Turks from
Constantinople which has been a con
spicuous feature in one seel Ion of the
press during Iho last tew days and
which has hud the support or relig
ious and philanthropic bodies, met a
counter blast rrom another section or
tile London newspaper world today,
which contended the question was
one of such importance that It could
not be settled on sentimental consid
erations hut must he lctt to the ma
ture deliberation ot the supreme al
lied council.
In a lengthy argument the Tele
graphs asscrtod .lliat -lirilislv- states
manship "has neither the duty nor
Interest to expel Iho sultan rrom
Constantinople " and expressed the
opinion thai agitation to this end was
"ill inspired and ill considered. "
Tho Daily News, which has always
been a staunch champion of the Ar
menians and a supporter ot Glad
stone's demand to "sweep the Turks
out of Kurope," says tho real ques
tion is the weight to be attached to
warnings ot .Moslem unrest as a re
sult of the expulsion of tho Turks
from their spiritual capital.
Under the caption ""a too success
ful agitation" the Morning Post says:
"The Hellish government by mak
ing hasty announcement thruout In
dia ot tho decision in favor or the
sultan has barred revision of that
decision."
The newspaper seeks to show the
decision was merely a concession to
political agitators in Hindustan who
may not be temporarily mollified b.v
it.
Tho recent cumpaigji in favor of
tho expulsion or the Turks is said by
the Express to he based on a "pertcr
vid sentiment" and the newspaper
argues there is not a single advan
tage to bo obtained in drawing the
sultan away trom Constantinople. -

Professor Crenshaw believes it

Wolihlies on Trial for Murder of

No More Mush or Macaroni Want
edThree More Jurors III so Trial
Is Aqain Postponed Mistrial
Feared.
MONTKSANO, Wash., Feb. 2 1.
Three m ore jurors in the ten alleged
I. W. W. oa trial here for the murdcr
or Warren O. Grimm, C'eatralia Ar
mistice day parade victim, were re
ported ill shortly before court was
opened today at the beginning of the
fifth week or the trial.
Kdward Parr, because of whose ill
ness the trial was temporarily halted
last week, was reported improving.
It would be impossible, according to
the court, to go on with the case to
day, and It was unlikely that any ot
the sick jurors would bo discharged
at this time.
To discharge more than two of tho
sick men would mean a mistrial, it
was explained, and there was suid to
be a chance that those reported ill to
day would be sufficiently recovered
by Thursday to occupy their places in
the jury box.
Tho three men reported sick today
are: U. G. Itobinson, lloquiam; Frank
Glenn, Ilrudy, and Aubry T. Fisher,
Elma. Their illness has not been
diagnosed but the county health offi
cer says influenza is suspected.

hunger strike in the county jail this

The six prisoners who refused
their food yesterday, throwing it. into
the jail corridor, today presented a
written demand to Sherirf .letr Har
tcll, outlining a menu upon which
they insisted. Their demand is us
tollows:
"Ilreakfast.
'"Toast, ham or bacon, coffeo and
fried potatoes.
"Lunch.
"Hoiled dinner consisting of sound
meat and lets of . vegetables with
bread and cofroe.
.Supper.
"Fruit, bread and butler, coffeo
and beans, or other vegetable." .
They Insist that they shall be
served no more mush nor macaroni.
Their regular food, according to the
jailers, has consisted of mush, with
sugar, three slices of bread, syrup or
apple sauce and cofrce anil occasion
ally hotcakes, ro'r breaklast. For
luncheon they have been receiving
boiled potatoes, occasionally boiled
beef or mucaroni, bread, beans, cof
fee. The evonlng.meal has consisted of
boiled potatoes or macaroni, beans,
bread and cofrec.
Prior to the beginning ot tho trial
tho men received only two meals
daily.
With tho exception of itoberts, all
of the men refused their food today,
several of them throwing it away,
while others placed it in the corridor,
untouched. Ufitt Smith, Itoy Becker
