 It is considered that the troops are required to guard against threatened disorder owing to the presence of fol- lowers of Mustapha Renal Pasha, the nationalist leader, and bolshevik ele- ments and the failure of ihe Turks to ratify the peace treaty The latter situation is deemed big factor in the allied decisions.
 There are now upwards of 100000 former Russian and former Turkish soldiers sleeping in mosques. cellars and ruins oft he city. They are lack ing in food and clothing and 1t is rec ognized that they are potential men ace to the enormous stores of food stuffs and clothing in the warehouses.

HARDING HEADQUARTERS
 AT MARION DESTROYED
By Associnted Prese

Marion, o. January zS--Ine resi- dence of George B. Christian, Jr., next door to the home of President-elect Harding, and used by him as his head quarters, was destroyed by fire this All campaign documents in the building. although somewhat dam- aged by water, are thought to have been saved. The desk at which the President elect met in conference with the "best minds" of the country also was removed from the burning build ing but slightly marred by the flames.
 The fire started from an overloaded furnace at a time when the house was entirely unoccupied, no members of the headquarters staff having arrived for the day. AS soon as the blaze was discovered, firemen and headquarters employees carried out correspondence and records. but strong wind scat tered the papers in all directions. All of them are thought to have been re- covered, however. No decision has been reached here as to whether other headquarters will be established, the probability being that word from MT. Christian. Mir. Harding's secretary. will be awaited.
 The damage, estimated at $3,5o0, is said to be covered by insurance.
