GREECE IN GRIP
*/ OF REVOLUTION
Mitylene, Sept. 2& (f y the Associated
Press).?All Ara.:e,(including
her islands, is aflame Vrif^ the revolution
which began Monday night on
this historic island in the Aegean sea.
Seventy-five thousand disaffected
soldiers, who were driven out of
Smyrna by the forces of Mustapha
Kemal Pasha, stormed the governor
general's palace and imprisoned all
the officials, including the governor
and Generals Braca and Franzo. They
took possession of the telegraph' lines
and of the radio so that Athens
would not know a revolt was under
May. Their next move was to seize
file port officers and take over command
of the battleships Lemnos and
Kilkos. ' ,
"Then they commandeered all the
vessels in the harbor, Including: the
Greek trans-Atlantic liners Megali,
Hellas and Patris. Before embarking
for Piraeus on these vessels the soldiers
paraded the street with Venezc
list banners and effigies of King Conjs
tan tin a.
Shouting, "Down with Constantine"
and "We want Crown Prince George,"
the troops fired revolvers and sang
the Ver.izelist hymn.
While these demonstrations were in
progress 60,000 fugitives from Smyrna
suffering from frigfit, hunger and
exposure were too stunned to participate
in the insurrection.
Amid the scene of disorder and excitement
a dramatic figure was A.*K.

to alleviate the suffering and
cuiet the fears of the distracted fugitives.
On the initiative and enterpiise
o^Mr. Jennings a steady stream
of boats is kept running between
Mitylene island and Smyrna, taking
off refugees from the island and survivors
of the Smyrna Are.
At first the captains of Greek boats
refused to go to Smyrna, fearing they
would be seized by the Kemalists, but
Mr. Jennings arranged to have them
^ . discard their Greek flags and convoy.

HI The untiring devotion of the AmerR|
v lean bluejackets has stirred the emop?
tion of the population of Mitylene,
S who are thrilled at the presence of
the Stan and Stripes thousands of
miles from American shore. The
steamer Patris took off 6.000 troops
at Smyrna, but the soldiers, who commanded
the vessel, d^ttned to take
any refugees. Those refugees
who were fortunate enough to have
funds at their disposal offered as high
as $1,000 to small boats to take them
to safety.
Smyrna, Sept. 28 (By the Associated
Press).?Ten Greek owned vessels
steamed into the harbor tonight under
the protection of the American
flag and took off 20,000 refugees and
victims of the fire. The American
navy, under Rear Admiral Bristol, is
striving valiantly to save the remainder,
who number not less than 40,000.
Admiral Bristol hopes to obtain an
extension of the time limit for the
evacuation for the last of the outcast
"beyond September 80, the date fixed
iby the Turkish authorities.
Oscar P. Heizer, American consul

LIGHTNING CAUSES
TERRIBLE EXPLOSION
Spezia, Italy, Sept. 28 (By the Associated
Press).?The number of
dead is feared to reach 144 in the explosion
today at Falconara fort, near
here, accprding to the available estimates.
The number may go higher.
Several hundred have been injured.
A majority of the victims are still
buried beneath the wreckage.
* Pitiful cries for help are heard
coming from beneath numerous heaps
of debris, but though^he rescue work
is proceding actively it will be some
time before the last victims are extricated
from the wreckage of the immense
number of houses which were
razed. v
Several bodies already were recovered
from the^debris this afternoon.
Fifteen hundred tons of explosives
were stored in the deep tunnels of the
fort. The entire top of the hill on
which it. was located was completely
blown away. The work of recovering
additional dead is proceeding. No
correct estimate can be made of their
number.
Streams of injured are arriving tonight
in Automobiles, trolley cars,
lorries and ambulances from the
scene of the explosion. Numerous
other injured persons are being sheltered
in schools, the waiting rooms
of the railway stations and private
houses. The hospitals are filled.
Troops, firemen and civilians are
working hard to clear away the
wreckage. Their task is an almost
superhuman one.
Every tree within a radius of
many miles of the explosion was uprooted.
All the windows in Spesia
were broken.
The Italian Red cross immediately
after the explosion sent large quan|
tities of medical stores to the scene.
The wounded are being rushed to
the hospitals here, all of which are
already filled. Military forces have

TURKS HOLDING
NEUTRAL ZONE
Constantinople, Sept. 28 (By the
Associated Press).?Events are sure,
ly approaching a climax. The Turks
have occupied the entire neutral aone
on the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles
with the exception of the Cha<
nak area, around which they have established
infantry units in a semi-circle,
virtually investing the British
lines.
The Turkish cavalry squadron is
retiring and the British troops, who
are in strong force at Chanak, are
ready for what may happen.
In these circumstances General
Harington, the British commanderin-chief,
has sent a wireless message
to Kemal Pasha at Smyrna asking
for an immediate^ personal meeting.
He leaves the choice of place to Kem
al, whose reply is expected momentarily.
Yussuf Kemal Pasha, the Nationalist
foreign minister, is understood
to have gone to Angora to submit
the allied joint note to the Nationalists
assembly, but in the meantime
the Turkish concentrations are being
pushed with the greatest speed. *
British reinforcements are reaching
here and the threatened ai\ea, the
syperdreadnaughts Revenge and Resolution,
the most powerful fighting
machines afloat, have arrived in the
Dardanelles, with a battalion of
North Staffordshires and 1,000 men
of the British air forced landed today
and marched through Constantinople
with bands playing. Their presence
has helped to bring about a reassuring
effect.
The Turkish instructions to the
men in the Chanak sector are to advance
to the farthese possible point
without meeting resistance. They
are now practically against the British
entrenchments and obviously the
situation can not be indefinitely prolonged.
Notwithstanding the Kemalist concentrations
around Chanak, however,
the British are confident of holding
their lines against all odds. They declare
that their flanks are well protected
by the fleet. The battleships
With their 16-inch guns can sweep
the whole area around Chanak for a
of their giant' naval, guns and use
them for shore batteries.
The Turks at present have only
machine guns in the Chanak area. If
they brought up heavy artillery the
security of Chanak might be seriously
challenged, the British admit, but
the entrenchments in this sector are
said to be more efficient than any
used in the World war. Since September
11 2,000 men from the labor
squaa, i.uuu irom me neei, hiiu several
thousand from the army have
been steadily building trenches and
setting.up gun emplacements.
South Has Faced
Many Serious Problems
Chattanooga, Sept. 29.?With officials
declaring that the South faced

with transportation and tariff power
development, the American mining
congress met here and expressed that
it was urgent for all parties to look

CRISIS CAUSES
BRITISH WORRY
London, Sept. 28 (By the Associated
Pness).?The , British cabinet I
neld three successive meetings today t
ind another meeting will be held to- c
morrow morning. This fact alone is c
sufficient comment upon the gravity c
>f the situation in the Near East, re- b
sealed by yesterday's bad news, which
ias been amply confirmed and ac- c
:entuated by today's dispatch. d
The Greek revolution, which was a t
military and naval coup, seems to o
lave been carried,out with surprising h
swiftness and completeness. Infor- v
nation regarding Constantine is A
meager, but one report had it that s
le was a prisoner of the revolution- "
sts. * , g
The crown prince'succeeds to the F
hroiie, while the victorious troops p
vith their leaders at their head a
marched triumphantly into Athens, o
vhich pending the formation of a new A
rnuommnnf {a in fVto Vtonrla of n mil
jVTvtuiiiviiv ao viiv uaiiuo v/i. a 11111tary
dictatorship in the shape of a h
.riumvirate council of generals. One t<
>f the generals is said to be the fa- a
nous General Nider, who for a long t\
ime was chief of staff and war min- a
ster under the Venizelos administraion
and commanded the Greek expe- A
litionary corps operating in South "
lussia in 1918.
Apparently the revolution was
>loodless, although an unconfirmed t<
eport mentions the killing of one w
ninister. It is assumed here one of n
he main objects of the revolution ii e:
o maintain Greek rule in eastern b
fhrace. h
Latest advices are to the effect that s:
here has been no collision between k
he Turkish and British forces in the
3hanak zone and that seems to be the s
inly satisfying aspect of a very b
hreatening situation. Friendly mesages
have been exchanged between u
General Harington, the British com- 0
nander at Constantinople, and Kemal ti
'asha, 'discussing tlie respective b
viewpoints in an amicable manner,
>ut the Kemalists shof not the ti
ilightest disposition to recede from fj
heir position and refuse to withdraw
heir troops from the Chanak sector, b
On the other hand, according to Cl
government dispatches and corres- b
cone today and there is a constant d
ncrease in the Turkish troops in both 0
he Chanak and slsmid sectors. Not n
>nly do the Kemalists refuse to re- q
;lre from the neutral zone, ignoring a
ill British warnings, but they are re- r
ported to have declared they will not tj
permit the British to build fortifica- ^
tions at certain points within the
sone. t
In Constantinople it is believed the s
situation has been relieved by the ^
Kemal ist agreement to recognize the j,
leutrality of the straits, pending the
irmistice conference. Another point
>n the peace side is that General Har- ;
ington still professes confidence in j
Eternal's moderation. He sent a wire- ^
ess message to the Nationalist lead- c"
;r at Smyrna this evening asking h
lim for an immediate personal meet- u
ng and leaving the choice of place <<
.o Kemal.
A report has reached here, though
lot officially, that the sultan of Turcey,
Mohammed VI, has abdicated in
favor of the heir apparent, Prince Ab- f
iul Medjid. c
The British government is delaying <
ts reply to the Russian note, pending j
further developments. With regard j
;o Kemal Pasha's protest against t
British demolitions on the south side ^
>f the straits and the Sea of Marmo- a
ra, the British government states \
;hese were executed in 1920 and that f
everything done since then was quite
unimportant.
Regading the Turkish complaintB
Lhat the Sea of Vnrmora is dosed to
Turkish troops, the British contention
is that it has thoroughly maintained
absolute neutrality as between
the Greeks and the T^urks and
that the whole of the Sea of darmora
18 free to both the Turks /id Greeks I i
squally.
No authoritative information 19
forthcoming on the cabinet's views
sn the new situation created *by the
Greek revolution. The government's
present attitude is .that of waiting
for further developments and the result
of the armistice conference.
. A Smyrna dispatch through Paris
tonight says that Kemal Pasha is
disposed to accept the invitation to
a peace conference, with certain reservations,
but that the Angora assembly
has voted a large war credit.
All it Is possible to say with confidence
is that while peace has not
been broken, some unforseen inci
oeni may at any mwwuiv iiruvunv
hostilities. *

r citizen. He spoke rapidly in English
as he explained his cause.
(The interview was given a few
( hours before the king's abdication,
and, although some of the events
referred to have now been super{
seded, it is given as received from
, Athens as showing the monarch's
, state of mind on the eve of his fall.)
( It is not easy to ask a king whethI
er he is pro-German or will abdicate.
P But Constantine helped along tre inp
terview by asking questions himself.
| "Is America and the outside world
really interested in me, and why?"
he asked. "I was driven from my
| throne hy the powers, and then recalled
by my own people. Yes, all
but 10,000 of those who voted ask?'
me to come back, and I came. Until
my people revoke that summons I
shall abide with them, fighting their
cause and suffering with them if need
be. Yes, until my own people say.
[ 'Now, go, we have had enough of you,
I will remain.'
"About this war that is going on.
Does the world realize that the allies
J are still at war with Turkey? For
J mandate of the powers. Our valiant
army fought at terrific odds and un"
der disheartening conditions. Every
1 day they saw one of the allies supplyi
ing their enemy with ammunition,
' guns and motor lorries. They could
1 not fight an organization like that.
and so they simply went on strike,
t "From the standpoint of the in*
terests of Europe I can not see the
3 advantages of allowing the Turks to
" occupy both sides of the Dardanelles
and the Bosphorus. History speaks
for itself. Will the Turks, excited by
" victory and by flattering treatment
f from the powers, be any different in
3 the future, and will the neutrality of
the Dardanelles and the safety of EuC!
iope be assured thereby? I scarcely
^ think so. What about the brave Encr
* lish dead at Gallipoli?the lads frnn
\ustralia and New Zealand ? ovn
100.000 of them, who gave their live<
in the terrible war against Turkey.
Do these dead mean nothing to Eng.
- '.and as she hands over Asia Minor
i and Thrace to the Turks which slew
? the men of her dominions? What
5 about the 200,000 Christians who have
<i perished or been massacred in Asia
i Minor by the Turks ? No punishment,
/ but reward handed out graciously by
r their war time enemy. Europe is mat 1
ing a terrible mist*,
