ny CONSTANTINE BROWN,

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1920.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Turkey. No
vember 27-The fall of VeniZelos in
Greece and the defeat of Wrangel in
Russia through the lack of energy
and foresight on the part of the al
lies. has reopened the near east ques-
ton, and this time solution ap-
pears probable. For the first time
since the end of the war the trumps
are in the hands OF the Turks. The
Turco- -bOlsheviSt alliance, though In
sincere, has given results.
The Armenian question has been
settled. The new bolshevist govern
ment in Armenia asked Moscow to
send soviet troops, which arrived a
few days ago, replacing the national
lists in all those parts of Armenia
which were formerly provinces of the
Russian empire. the Turks remain
ing in the provinces formerly ruled
by the sultan. Settlement of the Ar
menia question enables Mustapha
Kemal Pasha, the Turkish nationalist
chief, to send some 10000 regulars
under Kiazim Karabekir. to reinforce
the Smyrna front, where the irregular
bands have been transformed into a
regular army.
Situation Dark for Allies.
On the Cilician front the national
lists are fighting successfully against
the French, who are having much
difficulty in keeping the provinces al
lotted to them by the peace confer
ence. The concentration of Kemalists
on the f1oun- -Karahissar front, begun
before the result of the Greek cleo
tions was known, is reported to be
with great activity. The
artillery recently received from Rus
sia is now being transported into
Turkish territory. Gen. WrangeIs

bolshevist army, which may now sup
port the Kemalists on larger scale.
The situation of the allies is far
from brilliant. Undoubtedly the
Greek army is affected by the fall of
venizelos and by the promise by the
mobiliza ton. 1t appears to be melt
ing away and thus the main factor
upon which the allies counted for
coercing the Turks disappears.
The arrival in Const&ntinople OF
Gen. Wramgels army of 10000 men
caused the allies to consider the
possibility of employing these men.
but the idea was discarded owing to
the poor quality and the demorallza-
tion of these Russian refugee soldiers.
The situation leads to the possibility
that the allies will consider eventual
changes. in the treaty of Sevres.. Any
revision of the treaty while Venizelos
was premier of Greece meant "a
breach of faith and also q loss of
British prestige in Indian. where the
step would have been considered a
sign of weakness. 1t is now explained
that revision would be natural. be-
cause the man enjoying the confidence
of the allies had been replaced in
Greece by men who formerly were
open enemies of the entente.
Turk Protests Now Needed.
In well informed quarters here the
opinion is expressed that the return
of the vilayets of Aidouin. Smyrna
and eastern Thrace to Turkey would
be highly desirable. especially as this
can be done without a formal revision
of the treaty, but by simply applying
President Wilson's principle of allow
ing a plebiscite in those regions. 1t
is felt in some quarters, however.
that if the powers decide to step out
they must act speedily before the
Greeks completely desert the front
Otherwise it will be impossible to
make a gift to the Turks of provinces

The Senate. committee on mill
tary affairs will look into the pro-
motions in the Army, under the
Army reorganization law, which
have recently caused criticism in
Army circles, according to Senator
Harry New of Indiana, a member
of the committee.
For one," said Senator New to-
day, Il want to be shown why the
promotions were made in some in.
stances, and why men who have
given their lives to the service
have been passed over. am not
objecting to the principles Of Sc
lection in making promotions, but
the selection must be made justly"
Senator New said that the nomi-
nations of Army officers for pro-
motion sent to the Senate at the
coming session would be very care
fully scrutinized. He expressed
doubt as to whether combinations
of men appointed to higher rank
would be made during the short

IRISH COMMITTEE
T0.GET PASSPORTS
British Ignore Nature of Visit
and Treat Visa Request
as Routine.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The committee of five Americans
who plan to investigate conditions in
Ireland will have no difficulty about
passports; The British government
has determined. to take no official cog
nizance Of the matter and the British
embassy here is treating the request
for the visa" or approval Of pass
ports in much the same way as it
would treat the request of any Ameri-
can citizens.
Similarly the Department of State
will issue passports to the committee
in the same routine way that pass
ports are given to any Americans who
want to go to Great Britain on pleas
ure"or business. There has been some
talk in the last few days that the De-
partment of State might decline to is
sue passports on the groun> that the
visit of the commission might be re-
garded as an Interference in the poll
tics of another country. but the COM
mission on the other hand is an en-
tirely private affair and Its request
for. passports does not differ from that
of FIVE newspaper men or any other
group of individuals who want to
write about conditions in another
country.
The Department Of State will not
be responsible for the reports or ut
terances Of the commission any more
than it is for the writings OF Amer1-
can correspondents, resident in Ire
land or anywhere else in Europe.
Could Refuse Approval
OF course. it was entirely within
the right of the British government
to refuse. approval to the passports
Of the commission. Frequently dur
ing the war the United States gov
ernanent would issue passports, but
the French or British governments
would refuse to approve them, anu
the would-be passengers were turned
back at the steamers by. the omcers
of the ship because none OF the
steamship companies would accept
passengers who did not have their
passports approved in advance by the
consular or. diplomatic representa-
tives in the United States OF the
country of destination.
The British government might nave
refused to approve the passports Of
the investigating commission without
necessarily giving any reasons, but
such step, it was felt, would only
aggravate Irish-Americans In this
country and add fuel to the flames.
On the other hand, even with those
who have no particular prejudices on
ports might have created the impress
sion of an unwillingness to let the
outside world know the truth about
happenings in Ireland. So the Brit
ish government determined to make
no incident out of the request for
passports and to let, the committee
go its way.
The attitude of the British officials
here is probably an indeXsof the po-
sitfon that will be adopted when the
American. commission reaches Ire
land Every opportunity will be given
the commission to make it's own in
yestigation unhindered. by the Brit
ish government.
Personnel Of Commission.
The members Of the commission are
insistent that they approach the
question impartially. Maj. Oliver p.
Newman, who was in the artillery in
the A. e. F., was president Of the
board Of Commissioners of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, under President
Wilson. and before that was promi-
