 peals Heard
R. As,ocinted Pre.s

Constant ,nople, November H. Another human tragedy that promises to rival the smyrna fire is develop ing in northern Asia Minor. The tide of a quarter of million Christian in habitarts is sweeping in full flood tg ths fringes of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.
 yhese refugees are ciamoring to he saved. The American navy base at Constantinople is deluged with $. U. $. calls from the flotiila of American destroyers patrolling the Mediterran- can and Black sea coasts of Asia Minor which are crowded with Christians fleeing from the Turks. There is a poignant nCte of despair and tragedy in every message snatched from the air. Appeals from Hand to save our souls" are received almost hourly and are taxing the capacity of the American radio staff here.
 Appeals come from every part of Anatolia where whole Christian com- munities are migrating and where the American Near East relief is working heroicaily to overcome almost insur- mountsble obstacles, including the removal of orphans for great dis tances to the sea.
 Critical situation Develops
 Cryptic radiographs received today Indicated that "a critical situation was developing with surprising sud- denness. the whole interior Is blank eted with snow, adding immeasurably to the misery of the exiles.' A wire- less from the destroyer Barry said: Five hundred Christians arriving at samsun daily from parts un- known"
 Another from the Barry relayed from Sivas in the interior of Ana tolia said: Ten thousand Christians and 2,000 orphans trudging through the snow from Sivas are looking to the Americans to save them."
 Another destroyer relayed dra- matic appeal to the Near East relief a constantinople from James Crutch- CT Of Tuscaloosa, Ala, at Sansun. Can you take 10000 mountain nhiI. IarAns If not 1t means their endt"

HITCHCOCK LEADS. DE B \ I [ AGAINST. TIGER IF FRANCE
Myers Supports Aged States man-Negro HeckIer Cause of Commotion Upon Floor
 of Senate
By Associated Press

Washington, November 27.-The Tiger of France again came under fire in the Senate today when his ut terances in the United States were the subject of a conflicting debate which was enlivened by an interrup- tion from the galleries by a negro soldier.
 Senator Hitchcock, democrat, Me- braska, former chairman of the for eign relations committed, opened the debate with an attack on M. Clemen- ceau and of French policies and was joined in the criticism by other sena- tors, while Senator Myers, democrat, Montana, came to the defense of the aged French statesman. Senator owen, democrat, Oklahoma, also ex- pressed sympathy with M. Clemen- ceau's mission to America, but criti- cised French policies.
 It was during Mir. Hitchcock's att tack on the wartime Premier in con- nection with alleged atrocities of black French colonials in Germany, that the negro soldier, who later gave his name as Lucious Jones, patient at government hospital near here, rose in the gallery and sought to ques- ton the senator Vice President Coolidge banged the gavel and Senate attendants rushed forward and re- strained the man, so that the ques- tion was never asked but excitement prevailed in the Senate.
 Heflin Demands Expulsion
 The negro soon left the galleries but returned for the rest of the de- bate while Senator Heflin, democrat Alabama, incensed at what he termed was an insult" to the Senate, de- manded the mans expulsion. There had been discrimination, the Alabama senator shouted, declaring that in the past white women had been elected from the galleries of both the Senate and the House for interrupting debate while this time the disturber was permitted to remain.
 Senator Curtis, republican, Kansas, and Hitchcock. however, expressed the belief that the negro had acted through ignorance and no action was taken.
 senator Hitchcock especially chiti- cised the statements of M, Clemen- ceau lu referepce tn the quartering of french black troopss on the Rhine, declaring the former premier's denials of the use of these troops had been disproved. He also at tackled the French separations de- mands on Germany.
 Myers Defends
 Senator Myers, in defending M. Clemenceau, deplored Senator Hitch

 With Allies
By Associated Pre..

Lausanne, November 27-Amer- ica's insistence for the open door and equality economically in the Near East which follows her traditional demand for equal privileges in the Far East, was cited today by the Rus sian delegation as supporting an of ficial communication forwarded by the Russian delegation to the con ference asking for the right of speech on all matters before that body.
 Russia objects vigorously to any at tempt to limit her activities in the discussion of the future status of the Dardanelles; she claims that all topics on the Lausanne agenda are closely related to the supreme objeettof free dom of the straits and that stable peace in the Near East can be at tained only by allowing the Rus sian delegates free participation on the same basis as the. other great powers.
 In their petition the Russians af- firm that only by following the prin- ciple of equality can the conference hope to reach the goal of greater equity in the relations between na tions--"a wish expressed al the open ing of the conference and confirmed by the recent declaration of the reps resentatiyes of the United States
 Discussing the Russian petition to night, M RakoVsky, president of the Ukraine republic said to the Associa- ted Press spondent: We are glad the United States made it's strong stand against the secret treaties agreement we heartily indorse It.

Miss Annie McCann Submits to Transmission of Quart and Returns to Duty
 at Hospital

Responding to the love she had for fellow worker. Miss Annie McCann. nurse at the Hillman hospital, Mon- day morning submitted to a trans- fusion of quart of her blood ttt the weakened body of Andrew A. Pratt, 60, veteran hotel employe, and father of Miss Jessie Pratt, stu dent nurse at the Hillman and close friend of Miss McCann.
 Pratt has been III for two months suffering from a serious stomach trouble. Recently he was taken to the Baptist hospital where it was announced by attending physicians that an operation would be necessary. Due to his weakened condition, however. it was believed that Pratt could not survive the operation without the stimulus of fresh blood. A call went out for volunteer. There were numerous responses. Among them came Miss McCann. Tests were made and it was found that Miss McCanns blood count best fitted the case. She went to the Baptist hospital Monday me crning. and the transmission was made.
 There is not a hotel man in Bir- mingham more widely known than Pratt. He was one of the first managers of the Hillman hotel. and was later connected with the Morris hotel. No regular visitor tc Birming- ham can remember when Pratt was not connected in some capacity with one of the leading hotels.
 This is the second heroic act of it's kind that has been performed in Birmingham within the past 10 days Coming as it did on the same day that funeral services were held for Pref. s. J. Pulliam, Howard college teacher it is a close parellel of the scene that was enacted at the Bap- tist hospital when two Howard col lege students gave their blood i'll a iuitless effort to save the life of their teacher.
 Miss McCann has been at the IIill- man hospital for more than three years. and with her sister. Miss Lena Mccann, has shared the friendship of Miss Jessie Pratt, senior in the student nurse corps, When the Me- tann sisters were notified that the Father of their friend was in need of blood transmission each Vi lxfn- teered The blood test selected Miss Annie and she went to the stricken mans aid.
