Mr.. West says that since the start

While public sentiment Is at pres

rary detour over the Grand Central
highway. Ely business interests
should not lose sight of the fact that
an early completion of the Lincoln
highway is essential. and no unnec-
essary delay should be tolerated.
Ely in the past has made Salt Lake
City realize that the business from
this district Is worth seeking and
that Ely business men have an in
fuence that can be used TO the ad-
vantage or disadvantage of the Utah

ernment official news agency to-day
issued recapitulation of military ac-
tivities against the Turkish National

ment, who on September occupied a
strongly fortified line dominating en-
emy positions, repulsed strong local
counter attacks of the enemy, infiicting

penetrate our lines. was defeated, lcav~
ing in our hands numerous prisoners

"On the night of September 12 be-
fore cur troops were ordered to re-
treat they attacked the enemy, making
him flee in disorder and pursuing him
until midnight. Then our retreat was
carried out in perfect order. Our men
rested five days on the west bank of
the Sakaria River, without the enemy
having made its appearance. Later an
enemy company, having crossed the
river over pontoon bridge, was
thrown back into the water. Only a
1eW OF their men were saved.
AN enemy regiment, having crossed
the river over bridge, was thrown
back on the opposite bank. Our artil-
isry took the brid ge under heavy fire.
The Turkish 10th Regiment seized
with panic, was forced to save itself
by jumping into the river. A great
number of them were drowned We
counted seventy bodies and took nu-
merous prisoners.
AT the same time another enemv

at another point, was attacked with

TOXIC, Oct. 8 (By The Associated
Prcss).- s).-Disarmament of American ter
ritories in the Pacific should be urged
by Japan at the Washington Confer
ence on Limitation Of Armament and
Ear Eastern questions. declared Dr.
Saburo Yamada, dean of the imperial
University of Law, in an address be-
fore the National PSlicy Association
here last night. He told this associa-
ton, which was organized to study
questions in connection with the con-
ference, that unless Japan secured such
disarmament the great ideal of arma-
ment limitation will be impossible !"
He added it should be realized that
without it no amount of discussion
would produce practical results He
also urged free trade in the Pacific
and the naturalization of the Panama
Canal.
America was accused by DR.. Ushisa-
buro Kobayashi of self jhly implant-
ing her influence in China. and in
ducing China to rely upon the United
States at the expense OF Japanese in

Japan probably will accept the Amer
lean agenda for the Washington confer
ence, but may suggest additions to them,
according to information in responsible
circles here. These additions would
avoid concrete questions, but would in
clude general principles, such as equal
opportunity throughout the entire Pa
clic. The agenda were discussed by the
Cabinet to-day, and will be submitted
to the advisory council on Monday.
Charles B. Warren, American Ambas-
sador here, has been comforting with
Premier Hara, Foreign Minister Uchda
