DEVASTATES C|L|C|A
 AND DEATH STALKS
French. and Turk NationaIists Wage Battles Over Large District of Asia Minor and
 Natives Are Suffering
By Associated Press

New York January 23.-( (Special.)- Constant fighting between the French forces of occupation and Turkish na- tionalists has transformed the Cilicia district of Asia Minor into an area of ruin and desolation resembling the devastated sections of northern France, declares Miss Elizabeth Webb, an American missionary and worker for the near east relief. In letter to the relief organization, Miss Webb tells Of a trip from Adana, recently delivered from a siege of IA weeks, to the town of Deurt Yol, about 50 miles distant on the Mediterranean sea. The trip was made on a French armored train.
 The Adana station itself was sug- gestive of the general situation with it's barricades of sand bags" she wrote. As We moved sown the track we saw bent steel rails lying by the side of the new ones that had just been laid. Bridges that we passed over were newly repaired and village stations along the route were demolished The ruins were surrounded by barbed wire entanglements and broken telegraph poles, feStooned with tangled wire witness to the events of the past few months. No human beings were in sight but the barbed wire entangle- ments were hung with tin cans. which. in the weeks of fighting that preceded my visit had been put up by the de- lenders to prevent surprise attack, for one touch on the wire would set the whole row of cans jingling.
 In the four hours between Adana and Toprak Kale we saw only one hu- man being outside the vicinity of these two places. This one exception was a Turk riding forlorn looking horse, with white rag hanging from pole stuck upright in his pack saddle. There were scores of threshing floors where the cut wheat had been allowed to rot in the sun and rain.
 The difficulties in Deurt Vol and Euzerli have greatly increased by the addition of about 5000 Armenian refugees to the population. Most of the refugees abandoned rich crops and houses that had been newly repaired with aid from the near east relief. We found them in pitiful condition. Houses of two and three rooms were sheltering four or five families.
 All empty houses, porches, store houses and every inch of available space was filled with them Some were sleeping on the bare ground with no covering. ITO meet the need in these two places, the near east relief has sent 400 sacks of flour, S,400 yards of cloth, flour mats, quinine and 1,750 blankets.

Big Machine Bends Plates

Making sharp bend, without pre- heating. In steel plate 12 feet wide and three-quarters of an inch thick. which means bending a total section of JUN square inches, requires a machine of un- usual sturdiness and power according to an illustrated article in the Popular Mechanics Magazine. The plate to De bent is fed horizontally onto a fixed lower jaw, and a massive upper jaw Is then brought down upon it, and is soiidly clamped, by an ingenious eccentric ac- tion worked by a power-driven worm and an automatic clutch. Three neavy pinion-driven racks operate the 1oiuihs leaf that does the bending.

Then began the ceremony of smoking Ii Hung Chang sat quietly inhaling and ex- Ihaling the smoke. while his attendants with great awe lighted the narghile, held the pipe, took it out from his mouth and put it back. It was appar- ent that Li Hung Chang wanted to im- press me with all these solemn cere- monies On my part, made believe that I did not pay the slightest attention to all these proceedings.

We'll, my figurines might be called snapshot statues. for they are small yet they are made to catch the soul and per sonality of the subject which is hidden deep beneath the every day self.
