Story of Greek Defeat Not Confirmed
 by Later Report.

London, Jan. 19.-Official reports re- ceived in London seem to controvert claims of the Turkish Nationalists that they have broken>the Greek front in Asia Minor.
 Both diplomatic and military re- ports state conditions on the Greek front are very quiet and that if any advance has been made it has been on the part of the Greek troops. Ev- erything, according to these reports. points to the strength of the Turkish Nationalist forces being greatly exag- gerated.

ARMENIAN SPEAKS
IN BEHALF OF PEOPLE

j. Y. Kombar, an Armenian Pres
byterian minister, arrived in Wausau
on Wednesday to assist in the Mara
thon County Near East campaign. Mr..
Kombar talks interestingly and tells
of the atrocities committed by the
'unspeakable Turk" wildly and with
tremendous feeling. From his con-
versation it is to be judged that he
Russian revolution, believing Kerens-
ky the cause of all the evils which
followed. He declared in an informal
discussion Wednesday that Grand
Duke Nicolaus would most certainly
have taken Constantinople' in three
weeks time in 1917 had K not been
for the interference of England jea-
lous lest the control of that port fall
into the hands of Russia. a thing it
had been averting for years.
Give More Than Money
Particularly impressive is Mr.. Kom-
bars appeal for assistance. The Ar
menians, he declares, were compelled
to give more than money as liberty
bond or war indemnity to the Turks.
more than cows, chickens-they were
forced to surrender 100000 girls and
women to these barbarous people, all
of whom were sold at public auction.
OF the cruelties of the Turk he also
has much to say.
The Near East Relief is meeting
with excellent response from local
organizations and it is anticipated that
many fraternal and religious organi-
cations will adopt from three to ten
orphans, agreeing to care for them
annually.
