GREEKS SELECTED
TO HUMBLE TURKS
II NECESSARY, WILL BE AIDED
BY MILITARY FORcES OF
ALLIED POWERS.
VENIZELOS is CONFIDENT
Mustapha Renal Has Broken Through
the DardareIles, and Lloyd George
Declares Military Action L.
Necessary.

Boulogne, France.-'Mustapha Ke
NAL has broken through to the Oar
danelles, and we are compelled to
take immediate military measures"
In these words Premier Lloyd
George announced to the Tribune cor
respondent the momentous decision
reached by the Boulogne conference
! OF allied leaders to make war upon
the Turkish Nationalist.
Within a few days Greek troops
will be marching against the Turks
in continuance of the age-long strug-
gle between these two peoples. Al
though the entire military forces of
the allied powers may be called upon
in the struggle against the Turkish
outlaws, those first TO bear the brunt
OF the fighting viii be, the Greeks.
The Hellenes, through their pre-
mier. Eleuteberios Venizelos, who at
tended the conference sessions here,
volunteered to lead the new war. Mar
shall Foch and Field Marshal Sir Hen
" Wilson, British chief of Staff. had
drawn UP a plan of military opera
lions, which were gone over by the
conferees.
Lloyd George and Millerand re-
turned to their hotels from senator
Farioni's villa. Belle in the outskirts,
where the sessions were held wi
or~ve f7oes. in keeping with the de-
cisions just taken.
"a George explained that the
sudden turn of events in Turkey had
MADE necessary a complete change in
the program of the Boulogne confer
ence. 1t is understood that both the
French policy Of concession to the
citation have been definitely scrap
ped. Their place win be taken by a
purely military program.
Although Greece lacks money and
munitions, she has large army,
which IS anxious to strike another
blow against an hereditary enemy. It
is expected that her national enthus-
iasm will be proof against the rising
tide Of Boishevism n Turkey.
In his conversations with the allied
leaders Venizelos contended that
Greece alone was able to defeat the
Turks. He proposed. with 10000 well /
trained and fully equipped troops. to /
crush the nationalist forces massed in /
the region of Smyrna then effect a /
rapid march into the interior to cut /
the railway at Afiouw Karahissar.
The station of Afiouw Karahissar is
a junction at which the railway from
Smyrna joins the main Berlin-Bagdad
route that runs from Adana through
Konia to Ismid.
If this great railway, which is the
only lateral lines OF communication at
the disposition of Ker1al. is cur it is
hoped thai the nationalists would be
forced to retreat into the interior.
This move would relieve the pressure

STATE MAY SAFELY
RATIFY SUFFRAGE
ATTORNEY GENERAL SUBMITS A
LENGTHY OPINION UPON THIS
MOST ABSORBING TOPIC.
US. CONSTITUTION SUPREME
Quotes Opinion of Solicitor General
Frierson and Decision of United
States Supreme Court To
Back His Decision.

Nashville.-In an opinion handed
down to Gov. Roberts, Attorney Gen
eral Frank NJ. Thompson holds that the
general assembly of Tennessee il call
ed in extraordinary session can ratify
the federal suffrage amendment with
out violation OF the provision of the
constitution of Tennessee, which for
bids ratification of a federal amend
ment by a legislature not elected sub
sequent TO the adoption of the federal
amendment by the federal congress.
The opinion goes into the legal phase
Of the question in detail and numerous
authorities are cited for the basis
of his opinion. Gen. Thompson also
cited correspondence had between him
and Congressman Cordell Hull of Ten
nessee and Solicitor General William
l.. Frierson
Citing the decision of the United
States supreme court in the Ohio case
and in other cases bearing upon like
questions, Gen. Thompson declares
from the foregoing princ;p es estab-
lished by the supreme court of the
United States, if 1 understand them
correctly, l have reached the follow
ing conclusions:
"(a) That the legislature of Tennes-
see derives its power to legislate Upon
all domestic matters directly from the
people Of Tennessee. restrained only by
the constitution of Tennessee.
"(b) That the act of ratification of
the proposed Nineteenth amendment TO
the federal constitution is not legis-
lative act or function, but a govern
mental or political act or function.
'(c) That the Legislature of Tennes-
see derives the power to perform this
governmental or political function of
ratification, or OF refusing to ratify
this suffrage or Nineteenth amend
ment, from the fifth article of the con
stitution of the United States, and not
from the people of Tennessee in its re-
organized form as a state government,
or from the constitution of I Tennessee.
ed That therefore the legislature
of Tennessee would not be controlled
by said Section 80 of article two of the
Tennessee constitution if it should
meet in extraordinary session and
either ratify or decline to ratify said
suffrage or Nineteenth amendment
"(e) l think, therefore, that if the
legislature of Tennessee should be
called in extra session and should see
proper to- ratify tlis suffrage amend |
ment and disregard Section 80 of art
icle two of the Tennessee constitution /
and the question should be made that J
its act was invalid because of the Ten I
nessee's constitution, that the supreme /
court Of the United States would hold .
that the legislature of Tennessee de- /
rived its power for its act from the /
fifth article of the federal constitution.
and if it derived any power at all from
he Tennessee constitution. particu-
arly Article 2. Section 80. the same is
n conf let with the federal constitu-
ion, the latter instrument being the
supreme law CT the land"
