Troops of the Allies
Occupy Constantinople

Constantinople.-Th allied high
commissioner at Constantinople has
issued a statement declaring that the
allies have no intention of destroying
the authority of the sultan, but wish
to strengthen his power. 1t also says
the allies will adhere to their inten-
ton not to deprive the Turks of Con-
stantinople, but that they may be COM
PEELED to modify their decision if mas
sacres and disorders continue.
The landing of the forces of occupa-
ton last week was carried out under
the guns of the formidable allied fleet
anchored in the Bosporous. The Brit
ish dreadnought Benbow at the Gala
ia Quay had her guns trained upon
Stamboul Another man-of-war faced
the arsenal in the Golden Horn, while
all the other war vessels in the Bos-
porus were standing by with their
decks cleared for action.
The landing forces included 1000
blue jackets and marines from the
British warships and contingents from
the forces Of all the allies represent
ed here. Indian attachments having
Moslems on their rosters were among
the troops taking part in the opera
ton.
Comprehensive military and naval
plans had been made for carrying out
the allied measures and precautionary
steps taken.
The dead walls of ConstantjpQple
were placarded with q procla1 Ion
by Major General Henry F. M. Wilson
of the British troops, declaring that
anyone committing any act that
threatened the safety of the allied
forces would be tried by court martial
and sentenced to death or such other
penalty as the court might fix. The
proclamation was printed in Greek,
English and French and it was eager
ly scanned by curious crowds in all
sections Of the city.

New Wireless Distress Call.

A novel wireless emergency device
by which ships In distress can ring
alarm bells on other ships within wire
less range is reported by the Ameri-
can chamber OF commerce in London.
The present wireless system of com
munication requires that an operator
to hear d call must be on duty. wear
Ing the usual telephone headpiece
The new device is said to enable any
station or ship equipped with spe-
cial automatic transmitter key to call
up any station or ship within range,
fitted with corresponding rec eiver re-
lay, even If the operator is absent.
The calling up. according to the Amer
lean chamber, is effected by a bell
which starts ringing on the ships

1t is claimed that one Of the most
important uses OF the devices will be
to insure immediate and general at
tention to s. o. s. calls.
