REDSSTIR TURK
TO HOLY WAR
Promise Gold, Arms and
Men to Aid in Campaign
Against British.

London, Aug. 14.-Red Russia is
backing the Turkish Nationalist
movement and promoting a pro-
posed holy war to be directed es-
pecially against the British, ac-
cording to DR.. Nazim Bey, National
list leader.
Nazim Bey is head OF the execu-
tive committee of seven of the Com
mittee on Union and Progress,
which is a sort OF cabinet of the
Turkish Nationalist movement.
He said the Soviet government
had sent 100000 roubles in gold
to Angora to pay the Turkish Ma
tionalist troops and for other pur-
poses. He confirmed the signing Of
a Russo-Turk agreement in Mos
co early last June by a delegation
of Turks headed by Bekirs Ali Bey
Under the terms of this agreement
the Soviets agree to furnish muni-
tions to the Nationalists and also
to aid them with 100000 cavalry
and 10000 infantry.
Under this agreement it appears
the Nationalists agreed to set ur
a Soviet system of government In
certain places and several Soviets
have been established in Asia
Minor with Nationalists holding the
Offices.

public Ledger service0

The prospect of a coal famine
this winter appears less threatening
in lights of the reports reaching the
National Coal Association readquar-
ters in Washington. The bitumin-
Gus coal operators, in statement
yesterday, said every indication
points to the effective operation Of
the new program recently put under
way by the bituminous coal Oper-
ato-s and the railroa dexecutives to
overcome the acute soft coal short
ages in the Northwest and New
England as well as the rest of the
country"
THE experience of the last two
weeks" they said, Shows that close
cooperation of all interests in
volved, under the comprehensive
coal priority plan, is all that is
needed to put an end to the emer-
gency through which the nation has
passed the last five months"
Reports to the coal association
indicate that there has been { con-
siderable increase in the shiIsnent
of coal to the Northwest and that
the movement of coal to relieve the
acute situation in New England has
advanced to a point whfre ample
coal is being dumped at tidewater
ports and shipped all rail to meet
New England's requirements"

IN PRICES
EXPECTED
Rehabilitation of Railroads
Only Real Barrier OFF,
cials Say.
BREAK DUE BY FALL
Food Crops All Bumpers,
! Lots of Raw Materials
And Cut in Exports.
BREAK DUE BY FALL
(By United Press.)

, Rehabilitation of the railroads
now is the one real barrier to a
general break in prices of necessi-
ties, is the opinion of many gov
ernment officials and economists.
A general price break may occur
by fall if the railroad officials and
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion are successful in their efforts
to build new cars and quickly re-
pair old ones, and, generally speed
up distribution. A downward trend
already has begun. The Accent dol
lar. in fact, already has begun to
pass.
Declines Already Begun.
Among the commodities that have
recently declined in price are re-
fined sugar. some grades of cloth
ing. raw, cotton and raw wool,
which are now selling at near pre-
war prices; crude rubber and hides
and leather, and dressed beef.
According to Secretary Meredith
Of the Agriculture Department the
1920 harvest reports and forecasts
by the Bureau of Crop Estimates
show bumper NleldS OF potatoes,
apples. peaches and practically all
fruits. The corn crop is forecast at
three billion bushels, one of the
largest yields in history.
The wheat crop, although slight
ly below the average. is expected
to afford plentiful supply of -four
when account is taken of the carry
over from last year.
Lots of Raw Materials.
Stocks of many raw materials
now are vastly larger than on
year ago. according to reports to
the Agriculture Department and
/ the Census Bureau. This applies
especially to fish, dairy products,
4 cotton, and hides and leather. There
/ is also a falling off of exports
which tends to throw back into
domestic markets foods and Other
commodities prepared for sale
/ abroad.
A general decrease in sales of
Iuxuries is another factor tending
toward lower prices. officials feel
Diamond imports are beginning to
sag. Candy manufacturers, who

PLANS FOR FLIGHT
TO THE SOUTH POLE

LoNDON-John l.. Cope, leader ana
organizer of the British Imperial Ant
arcNc expedition. the plans of which
include an attempt to fly to the south
Pole, stated yesterday that he was not
in agreement with Sir Ernest Shackie-
ton regarding the value of the seaplane
in the Antarctic.
ION the deck of q whaler,' said Mr.
Cope, there is no room TO Launch
seaplane, and again, where is the sea-
pi.ne to be kept when it is not in use!
Aviation in the Antarctic must be done
from the land or the ice. Sir Ernest
saws there is little known land in the
Antartic from which extended flights
can be made. To that I would reply
there is the sea ice, and the ramps
which are found all around the coast.
"Sir Ernest says that in his opinion
it is impossible to fly to the South Pole
unless depots have been laid for three
hundred miles inland. l. however, can
see very little advantage in laying
depots on the ice barrier for 200 miles.
again. Sir Ernest Shackleton de-
clares, TO attempt to fly to the South
Arizona republican., 1920-03-20

necessary after the men have passed 81
degrees south, they will be able to
march back as men havo done on pre-
vious expeditions.
"One impression which Sir Ernest
appears to be under is that we are
contemplating the flight to the pole
and back in one stage. Nothing could
be further from the facts. L do not
think that at present such flight is
possible. 1t is our intention to attempt
the flight to the pole and back in four
stages. We shall fly to "a degrees south,
lay a depot. and then on TO the pole
After taking observations, we shall re-
turn to our depot, and then fly back to
the base of the Bay of Whales.
Il am hopeful of maintaining wireless
communication with our base for the
whole of the journey to 81 south, and It
may be possible to maintain commu
nication for a still greater distance.
Great stress is laid by Sir Ernest upon
the climatic conditions, and he points
out that 500 miles of the flight will
have to be made at an altiture of 10000
feet, where the temperature dips to 40
below zero. Weather conditions are,
needless to say. most important fac
tor. but to suggest that 40 below zero
is normal in the height of summer IS
certainly far from the case.
ITO fly TO the South Pole is dan
gerous adventure, but danger has never
deferred Britons from undertaking a
task. The machine in which we shall
make the attempt is especially filled
with ski to allow of its taking off or
landing on the ice, and on snow deeply
furrowed. All the experts agree upon
the practicablity of the scheme which
we have prepared, and they are assist
ing me to make the attempt
