U. S. Is Not Expected
to Object to Plans
for Coercing Turks

AS President Wilson has SO far not
been able to resume the custom. inter-
rupted by his illness. of receiving per-
sonally ambassadors resident in Wash
ington, the representations which the
French government is about to make
regarding the plan agreed upon by the
supreme council for dealing with the
Turkish crisis would be communicated
to him through Acting Secretary OF State
Polk. 1t is expected that Mr.. Polk will
receive these advices today, as there is
reason to believe that they are already
in Washington.
Generally it is understood that the
measures which are proposed to be
taken are purely coercive. and as the
American position heretofore has per-
sistently been one of benevolent in
terest in the fate OF the Armenian and
other peoples oppressed by the Turks,
it Is scarcely expected that any oppo-
sition will be offered by the State De-
partment to the execution of the al
lied councils program.
No Clash With Italians.
It is known that owing to radical
differences of opinion between some
of the powers as to the best means of
dealing with the Turkish situation. it
has been possible only with extreme
difficulty to reach basis of joint ac-
tion in Turkey, and Roman dispatches
indicate that, so far as italy is con-
not be counted upon in any measures
to be employed against the Turks that
are not purely defensive in their ma
ture.
Italian policy in this matter is be-
lieved to be influenced by the fact that
the Italians alone of all the entente
powers have SO far succeeded in MAIN
tanning military forces in Turkish ter
ritory without causing friction with the
local Mohammedans. Thousands Of
Italian troops are now in Ardana and
adjacent territory in Asia Minor, gar
risoning the towns without any hostile
collisions with the Inhabitants In Ital-
ian circles 1t Is explained that this is
because the Italian troops are there with
the full approval Of the Inhabitants, who
were in the beginning Of the occupation
advised that the troops would be with
drawn If their presence was objection
able.
There is some reason to believe that
the representations to be made to the
Washington government by the entente
include recommendations that American
naval strength in the waters Of the
Levant be large augmented in the inter-
est Of peace and to restrain the Unnamed
populations from hostile collisions,

SEES EFFORT TO KILL

Chairman Fordney's View of Ways
and Means Committees DELAY
of Soldiers Measures.

Charges that members OF the House
ways and means committee were "en-
deavoring to kill bonus legislation by

Fordney. when the committee re-
sumed hearings on soldier relief leg

the chairman said when members
suggested that hearings be postponed

OF the American Legion has met to

Il don't want to crowd this meas
ure. but we know the attitude of for

tinued. Every officer who had good
pay doesn't want q bonus. The vet
Grams who suffered financial losses
are overwhelmingly in favor Of some
relief plan"
Representative Kitchin. democrat,
North Carolina, said Treasury De-
partment officials ought to be heard
by the committee before any plan
was worked out. Chairman Fordney
replied that the attitude of the Treas
ury officers was well known.
but we want to get their state
ments into the record Mr.. Kitchin
replied.
The committee decided to call Sec
retary Houston, Assistant Secretary
Leffingwell and Gov. Harding of the

soldiers the aid they deserve" Chair
man Fordney commented.
Remark Provokes Retort.
"You would not want to violate the
economy program of Mr.. Mondell,
would your" Representative Kitchin
asked amid laughter.
Il notice when there was a bill af-
fecting Mr.. Mondelrs state he was not
the champion of economy" the chair
man retorted.
Representative Morgan. republican,
Oklahoma. urged adoption Of a bill
creating a government corporation for
the purchase Of farms This plan
would be under direction of the Sec
retary of the Interior. with a capi-
talization Of $100,000.0O0. all of which
would be subscribed by those benefit

The corporation under the terms of

creation Of a small political clique.

it is argued, connecting on the north
with an Independent Armenia and on
the south with Mesopotamia under
British control, would form an enec-

English-control Persian project for
a route to India. Therefore diplomats
here assert that they would not be

Trehixond May BE Port.
The supreme councils decision with
regard to boundaries Is being awaited
eagerly by the Turks, Armenians and
Greeks in Turkey. Since the Greeks
form a large percentage Of the pop

are reconciled with the Armenians, it Is
now generally believed in Constantinople
that Trebizond will be the Black sea
port of Armenia, and that the two
provinces OF Trebizond and ErZerum will
comprise the Armenian republic, with
possible additions.
The Armenians are claiming Adana, on
the Mediterraneans. and a strip connect
ing with the Black sea on historic
grounds, but it is considered that there
is little likelihood that the supreme
council will create such state, as
great armies would be requierd to de-
fend it against hostile Turks.
The Representatives of the Armenians
and the Patriarchs of the Catholic or
thodox and protestant churches have
declared a month Of mourning because
of the Marash massacres. In the
churches no bells are to be rung and

Persons Returning Tell of
Incidents at Burning of
ChamberIin Hotel.

Accounts of the fire which destroyed
the famous Chamberlin Hotel at Old
Point Comfort on Sunday were given
today by Washingtonians who have
just returned
According to witnesses, a Washing
ton woman, Mrs. j. J. hampton, 210T
wyoming avenue northwest. who was
stopping at the Chamberlin. was the
first one to discover the blaze. She
had stepped from her room into the
hallway on the first floor directly
over the doctors office. where it is
said the fire started. when she dis
covered smoke coming up through the
floor The alarm was Immediately
turned in.
1t also develops that at first the
1re was thought to be only a small
one and confined to a small area, but
it crept up between the walls and
burst out Oh the roof.
Telephone Gtrl Tainted.
When the fire was discovered to
be serious the telephone girl was
notified to call all rooms. 1t is said
that she tainted. Walters in the hotel
performed yeoman service in giving
people warning. but the people on the
upper floors had scarcely time to get
out. The blaze is believed to have
spread soon to the electric plant Of
the hotel, because soon after smoke
was discovered the lights went out
A young Washington woman who re-
turned from Old Point today tells the
following story of the fire:
I'VE were taking tea, and the first
thing we knew Of the fire was that
there was some confusion. Shortly
afterward the sprinkler system in the
hotel was turned on. The fire was
minutes, but soon shot out on the roof.
The back part Of the hotel became a
mass of flames, and people were still
congregated in the lobby. There did
not seem to be a great amount of con-
fusion, and people did not leave the
hctel men had time to get a good deal
of furniture out Of the lobby before the
flames began to eat toward the front.
Fire Apparatus Delayed.
1.-The fire apparatus seemed delayed
in reaching the scene, but did fine work,
aided by officers on the post. The Off
GERS did everything in their power to
get personal belongings OF the guests.
Trunks were thrown out of the win
dows, and some people saved some Of
their clothes. The majority, however,
were satisfied to get out Of the hotel
with their lives, and did not bother
about their clothes.
IF the fire had occurred at night
there undoubtedly would have been
many killed. The flames spread with
surprising rapidity, as the hotel was
z mass Of ruins by o'clock and the
fire did not start until nearly S.
Only the extreme back of the hotel
was saved.
THE officers and their wives at the
post did everything to care for the
guests. The bachelor quarters of the
post were vacated and many found
refuge there. The Y. NJ c. A. was
turned into a general Information and
bureau for the guests be-
cause at first it was feared that many

sions until the award 10 be made by

during the critical period Of last fall
when the bituminous men were on strike.
