Resignation Of Turk
Cabinet Presents
~ An Urgent Problem

Paris, Oct. 6.-(By the Associated
Press.)-The new situation in Tur-
key which has arisen through the
resignation of the cabinet is regard
ed in French circles as confronting
the peace conference with another
grave and urgent problem. The
downfall of the government is at
tributed to the occupation of Konieh
by nationalist forces under Musta-
pha Kemad, who, according to some
estimates, has 100000 men.
The press generally considers that
Asia Minor has entirely escaped
from the control of Constantinople
and that the young Turks are re-
gaining the upper hand. Some of
the newspapers point out that there
is no force available to deal with
the refractory elements and ask
whether the, entente powers are
sufficiently united and inclined to
the necessary powerful intervention.
French official circles direct at
tention to the fact that Djemal Pa
sha, the new war minister, IS the
political ally of Mustapha Kemad,
and the French generally are of the
opinion that the change in the cab
met may result in stabilizing the
government and extending its au-
tlority over greater territory.
The sultan's decree, according to
the version received by the French
authorities, outlines a policy which
appears to embody an endeavor to
reach an understanding with the
nationalists.

TIL. call for federal troops was
sent out late today after hurried
consultation between Mayor
Hodges, Sheriff Barnes and officers
in command of the state troops on
duty. Thcconference was called i'm
mediately when reports came in that
the strike sympathizers were gath
cring for q parade. 1t was deemed
fruitless TO endeavor to prevent the
demonstration with the handful of

1t was said tonight that Major
General Wood had been consulted

was forming and had advised that
no effort be made to interfere with
the strikers, but that federal troops

Soldier Leads Parade.
At the head of the parade this
afternoon marched a soldier in uni
form, carrying an American flag.
Behind him came a line of men in
uniform variously estimated at from
200 to ZOO Insignias of a dozen
combat divisions were in evidence.
Men in captains uniforms marched
side by side with the men in the uni
forms of privates. Following in the
procession were hundreds of strike
sympathizers. The sidewalks along
the way were packed with specta-
tors.
The state troops, in accordance
with orders, made no effort to
terfere. They we're jeered and
hooted by spectators as we'll as
marchers.
The march continued to East Side
park. Here mass meeting was
held. A former soldier, wearing two
wound stripes. appealed to the
crowd for the release of "a men who
had been arrested today and yester-
day on various charges. A shout
went up for a march on the jail,
where the men were confined. For
a moment the situation looked seri-
Gus, but the cries of the crowd let
up when the speaker announced that
a meeting of former soldiers would
be held tomorrow morning to con-
slider plans for procuring the re-
lease of the prisoners.

were concerned, as they were organ
izing their forces Wednesday morn
ing to attack and capture Elaine, but
when runners informed the leaders
that white men were entering the
woods at Hoop Spur they decided to
60 up and wipe out the gang before
entering upon the more serious task
of capturing Elaine. They underes-
timated the size OF the force from
Helena and the battle resulted.
Every negro who joined these
lodges was given to understand that
ultimately he would be called upon
to kill white people. Unquestion-
ably the time for attack had been
set, but plans had not been entirely
perfected, and the shooting of the
officers brought on the instruction
ahead of schedule.
Another scheme used by Hill to
obtain money was to appoint lead
ing negroes or several of them in
each lodge as private and foreign
detectives" furnishing them with
large nickel-plated stars and pair
of nickel-plated handouts. for which
they paid him $50 each.

lodges in that section. The stories
they tell are almost identical as to
the promises and representations
made by Hill. He even toid them
that probably some of the negroes
would be called upon to die before
equal rights would be assured, but
they must look upon themselves as
crusaders and die if necessary to
secure the freedom of the other
members of their race.
"A remarkable thing about the
developments is that some of the
ringleaders were found to be the
oldest and most reliable of the
negroes whom we have known for
the past IS years.

Niagara Falls Pleases
Belgian King and Queen

was probably the most thrilling ex-
perience her majesty has had since
she left the battle lines, where she
served her people as devotedly as
did thir king. 1t was an event not
ION the program marked out in ad-
vance and was the subject of an ami
mated discussion at the royal break
fast table as the royal special neared
Buffalo.
II am going" the king announced
calmly. The queen declared that if
his majesty went, she would, and
Prince Leopold voiced an emphatic
determination not to be left behind.
1t was the kings party and they
went.
They donned oilskins, just as have
countless Americans. The king
wore a yellow jacket and brown
overalls. 1t was intimated there
were no yellow trousers long
enough for him. When he was
dressed the attendant who was help
ing him announced, with no thought
Of royal etiquet:
Alright, king, you're ready" and
his majesty smiled.
King Stalks Ahead.
The king stalked ahead. Gusts of
wind blew showers of spray into the
faces of everyone in the party and
the roar of the mighty cataract over
their heads was deafening.
The queen expressed disappoint-
ment because there was no time to
60 through twice. Marvellous"
she exclaimed at each new wonder.
After viewing Horseshoe falls
from Goat island and visiting Three
Sister island the entire party donned
oilskins again and took the sail in
the Maid of the Mist, without which
no wedding trip to the falls has been
complete for half century.
After this they crossed into Can
ada for their brief visit, driving
through Victoria park and then to
the, home of George Y. Grant, chair
man of the park commission, where
a brief reception was held. Upon
the return to the American side the
party was far behind its schedule,
but the Belgians insisted upon TAX
ing a ride on the George trolley
road, that they might see the toss
ing, turbulent waters of the whirl-
pool rapids. Only then were they
content to board a special train to
be brought to Buffalo.
Greeted by Mayor.
The train was stopped at Terrace
station and the party stepped from
their car onto a landing platform,
which led to a temporary receiving
stand, where they were greeted by
Mayor Buck and a committee of
citizens.
In the square opposite the station
was a guard of honor made UP of

for their stay in the city.
Their majesties were the guests
of honor this evening at an informal
dinner at the Goodyear home.
The party returned to the train at

during the night and will not reach

will remain in the city an hour, but
there will be no formal ceremonies.

as the rulers of Belgium.
