CHRISTIANS FEAR
MORE MASSACRES
BY BLOODY TURKS
Thousands Are Fleeing Into
the British Lines To ES-
cape From the Threatening
M0SIemS.

Diarbekir, Turkey Dec. l9.-Fear of

ish, whose nearest post is ut Ourfa.
For days there has been steady
procession Of carriages, containing
families with all their possessions. on
the road to the southwark. Many of
them are headed for Aleppo, which
means hot. dusty journey of several
hundred miles across the plain.
The immediate cause of this exodus
Of Christians is the attitude of their
Moslem neighbors, COUPLED with the
notorious reputation that Diarbekir
won for itself in the massaeres and
deportations "a few years ago. but back
Of it is a feeling of rostlessness be-
cause of the fact that months have
passed since the armistce, and as yet
nothing has been done TO guarantee
the security Of The nom MoSlem popa-
The Near East Relief, the American
organization which is distributing aid
to the survivors of the massactes
through station in Diarbekir has
succeeded in obtaining assurances
from the authorities that the Chris
tians will not be molested by the gov
ernment, and that they NAV resume
their occupations. This assurance,
however, applies only TO the authofl-
ties and means that the Christians are
only to consider that If disorders be-
gin, they will not, ut least, be at the
open instigation of the governments
1t does not entirely promise protection
and therefore the Christians, afraid
that the Moslems may turn against
them mt any moment are electing to
seek safety in flight
The situation is having its effect on
the work of the relief organization in
recovering the Christian girls who
were carried off, during the deporta-
lions TO Moslem harems. This work
has been going on for weeks, the relief
thought of personal peril. Now, how
ever, the MoSlems are threatening the
girls with death if they permit them

Large numbers of these girls remain
to be recovered In the early months

COMPROMISE OR DEFEAT.

In the last speech made by him, the
nresident CHALLENGED the senate by de-
claring that the treaty of'peace must
either be accepted or rejected as i
stands. There could be no middle
ground. Recently the presidents see"
retary, MIR. Tumulty, has conveyed the
information to the senate that no com
promise on the treaty is possible,
Yet there is every indication that
the nation if it accepts the covenant
win proceed in the good old Anglo
saxon way of compromise and adjust
ment. From the results of the recent
elections in Kentucky, Maryland and
Oklahoma-where the league of ma
mons was the real issue-the president
should understand that if he permits
his party to go before the people next
wear with the league of nations as the
paramount issue, it win be defeated
as no party ever was beaten in u ma
tonal election. n.
The vast majority of the voters, II
they favor league of nations, do not
want it and will not have it except
with careful reservations making safe
American autonomy and guarding
this nation against entanglements with
complicated European relations. Fur
thermore, the average American voter
doesn't purpose to have this nation
underwrite European Indebtedness.
Real progress comes only through
compromise No man-not even the
president--can stake out a field of hui
man interest and hold it by the right
of squatter sovereignty. The effective
statesman or business man must sub
INIT TO all sorts of tests, if happily he
can obtain a title to a small part OF
the field he covets.
President Wilson came back from
Paris fairly convinced that he was
bringing Utopia to the world. He
urged the new constitution of the
world with all the assurance of th'
new doctrinaire or the schoolmaster
To secure ratification of this new con
stitution of the world would insure
for him u unique place in history.
But he should know now that tn
treaty, without reservations, is doomed
10 defeat, as it should be.

DIsINTEGRATING THE PACKERS

The "big five" of the packing in
terests have agreed to cut out all ac-
livities in the future not related i'm
mediately to the packing of meats and
the conservation of meat products
They are to go out Of the stockyards

railroads and give up a multitude oil
other things.
This is in line with the supreme
court decision in the Northern secu =
ties case and with the breaking up ol
the Standard Oil companies interests
and other so-called trusts.
But whether the public will be ben
efited by the dispersion of he packers
interests is quite another matter The
government tried out such policy OF

from operating steamship lines. Blu
the result was higher freight rates

Has remark was cryptic because
Mr.. Shoots notions of who consti-

Why Camps We're
Located in South

Washington. July 11.-Questioned
today by house war Investigator
about the location of most of the
army training fields in the south,
Secretary Baker said he had "never
heard an improper suggestion from
anyone about the location of the
camps"
Mr.. Baker declared the camps
were placed in the south rather than
in the north solely because of bet
ter weather conditions, and he ad-
ded that no influence that he knew
of was exerted to send the men to
the south.

TO
Use PENSACOLA
AS RENDEZVOUS
Navy Department Confirms Re-
port That Torpedo Craft Are
Coming Here and Indicates
Will Be Permanent Home.
(RY GEORGE II. MANNING )

Washington, Sept. 15.-The report
that a large flotilla of destroyers and
submarines will use Pensacola as a
winter rendezvous, commencing about
October /, was today confirmed by
Congressman j. III. Smithwick, of PEN
sacola.
1t was learned that although the flo
tilla is ordered to Pensacola for a few
months only, it is probable that they
will be retained there indefinitely and
that Pensacola will be made a perm
anent rendezvous for vessels of this
character.
Mr.. Smithwfck conferred with Com
mander Woodson, aide for operations
of the navy department, who said a
recommendation had been made to
Secretary Daniels by the operations
division that 54 destroyers and about
a dozen submarines, with tenders, be
sent to Pensacola for the winter at
least.
Commander Woodson said he ex-
pected the recommendation would be
approved and that approximately 49,
900 officers and men will man the
vessels. He told Mr.. Srlithwick that
he expected Pensacola to be made a
permanent rendezvous for torpedo
craft.
