PARIS, June 4-Announcements
from Athens and Angora of an i'm
minent resumption of hostilities in
Asia Minor masks secret prepara-
tions by Greeks and Turkish ma
tionalists for a drive on Constanti-
nople, according to reliable infor-
nation received here.
Great Britain. France. Italy and
Japan are seriously concerned over
the reports that Mustapha Kemal
Pasha, nationalist leader, is prepar-
ing for the drive. The allies mill
tary forces could not prevent either
rival from seizing the city, especially
as the city's garrison is largely
composed of Greek troops who
would welcome their countrymen.
The British are not expected to
seriously resist the seizure and the
French and Italians are not strong
enough to prevent it.
The Turkish forces in Constanti-
nople comprise only the sultan's
bodyguard, but the nationalists are
reported to be s<Songiy organized.
The problem Is complex, owing
to various policies, the British sup
porting the Greeks and the French
and italians supporting tho Turks.
The Japanese have been acting in
conformity with the British but
now are showing a desire to keep
Constantinople internationalized.

the assault on Verdun. Residents
of that village today described the
former crown princes life there.
A number of women Frequently

approximately 100 miles to the

stream of good size; in times Of
abnormal rainfall and cloudbursts

Pueblo was swept by a food on
May 81, 1894, when Fountain creek
was swollen to a torrent by a
downfall of rain and series OF
cloudbursts all along the eastern
slope of the continental divide. Ac-
cording to the newspaper reports
printed on June .. 1894. the flood
of 81 years ago was similar to that

Driving Power Of River.
An indication OF the tremendous
force and power of the Arkansas
may be gained from the fact that
its Royal Gorge, situated about 40
miles west by northwest of Pueblo,
between Canon City and Parkdale,
is considered one of the continents
greatest examples OF the driving
power of a river. In a compare
lively short time in geologic history
the river has torn down a gap in
the solid granite more than $500
feet for a distance of a little more
than eight miles.
Pueblo itself is the county seat
of Pueblo county, and second city
in the state, and is about 120 miles
southeast of Denver and about as
miles from Colorado Springs, which
lies between the two cities. The
large majority of the population
are native-born Americans: about
1000 are Indians; 1000 Austrians,
and 1,500 colored.

Testimony by Fred Lovett, 16-
year-old brother of Leroy Lovett,
the murder victim, caused the big

the alleged murder conspiracy and
that his life was spared by his
timely awaking when Virgil was
