TERRIBLE TURK RUNNING FROM
 GREEK TROOPS

SALONIkI, July 12.-(P) Accord ing to an announcement from the headquarters of the Grecian army operating in South smyrna, the Turks are no less bloodthirsty now than they have been for centuries past. The report from headquarters states the Greek troops are rapidly forcing the Turks to retreat from consider able territory they have been holding.
 In one place, just recaptured by the advancing Greek army, there was found the badly mutilated bodies of S4 Greek women and girls. It is evi- dent these people had been killed and mutilated without being able to make any kind of defense against their aggressors. Many tales of atroci- ties committed by the Turks are prot to the attention of the Greek com mand daily.
 The retreat of the Turks is so hur- ried that they are forced to abandon a number of large guns. At one time it seemed that the Turkish soldiers would gain the upper hand in Smyrna but Greek endorsements were hur- ried to the scene and it now seems probable, says the Greek headquar- ters, that the Turks will be driven from South Smyrna altogether.

 ON THE RHINE
RING CIRCUS IS STAGED BY AMERICAN SOLDIERS NOW OCCUPYING RHINE PROVINCES; PUT ON FOR BENEFIT OF AMER ICAN DOUGHBOYS

COBLENI. July 12.-( P)-The American soldier is determined to be amused even if he has to furnish the amusement himself An elaborate three ring circus is now being staged by the ingenious doughboy for the benefit of all American troops now occupying the Rhine provinces.
 The show is billed to "out-show Barnum and Bailey" and the soldiers guarantee their spectators a circus which will be all that circus should be The soldiers, however, have one cause for grief. ACrobats, clowns, bareback riders, real live Indians and cowboys they have galore but all the organizations are beWailing the fact that there is a great shortage of cir GUS animals. Aside from the ever present army mule and few com pany mascots, mainly dogs, the circus managers have positively no men
 
 lack of an animal collection interfere with the staging of the circus.
 All the actors are soldiers who are in active service in the army of oc- equation. It is estimated that ten thousand people will attend the grand opening and not small percentage of this number will be German civil ians. In fact, the Germans seem to enjoy the idea of circus more than the doughboys for but few of the na tiyes of these provinces ever wit messed a real circus while there is hardly soldier who has not been to at least d dozen. The Germans will be admitted to the show for one mark each.

FURNACE BLOWN IN

As an answer to the claims of union leaders that the Woodward Iron com pany would be seriously crippled by the strike of steel and iron workers in the district by the end of the week, No. 1 furnace was blown in Friday morning, according to the plans of the company made before the strike went into effect.
 The furnace has been shut down for repairs for the past four months, while the other two furnaces of the company at Woodward have been in steady op. eration. The repairs had been com pleted and was ready for operation, and the fact that about 50 men walked out from the by-product plant on Thursday morning did not deter the company from starting operations. The furnace was refined. overhauled and the capacity greatly increased to turn out u ,g,ly output of 45o tons.
 The blowing in of the Woodward furnace Friday was regarded as the most convincing stand taken by the corporations against the strikers, and was the general topic of conversation in business circles
 It was stated at the union headquar- ters that 20 miners left the Woodward ore mines Friday morning and that the situation is entirely satisfactory to the leaders. while officials of the Woodward Iron company state that their output from the ore mines Thurs day was the largest in months.
 An official statement from the Ten nessee Coal Iron and Railroad com pany is to the effect that none of their industries in the Bessemer district have been crippled. and all are running with full crews of men.
