Turks taking advantage of the fact that the British have not yet concen- trated all their forcea
 British Determined
 The British, however. are declared to be determined to hold the straits at all cost, regardless of how formid able the Kemalist forces may be and regardless also whether France and Italy participate in the defense.
 One of the best evidences of the British determination to resist the Turks is the fact that many British subjects, including the families of of fcers are leaving the city, showing that they believe the fighting immi- nent.
 It is understood that the French cabinet warned the Angora govern ment of the individuality Of an as sault on the neutral zone but the na tionalists are believed to have replied that the proposed attack is in the na- ture of a defensive and protective movement in view of Great Britain's military preparations in support oi her alleged policy of depriving Tur- key of Thrace.
 Near Neutral Zone
 The Kemalists are in dangerous proximity to the neutral zone, and g forward movement on their part will meet with stern opposition from ths British. The British position would be greatly augmented If the militar, and naval units promised from Eng. land and from the domlnions were near at hand

NEW HAVEN SHOPMEN
 EXPECT SETTLEMENT
Feel Confident Matters Will Be Al. justed Properly in Near Future;
 Father Kelly Talks.

New Haven, Sept. 2o-strikine shopmen of the N. r., N. H. and H railroad were in an expectant mood when they held their usual mid week mass meeting today. There were ru- more of developments but nothing definite was stated by any of the leaders, and reports made merely re- ferred to prospective settlements else where. After ;le meeting ended the men seemed more than ever convinced that some change was impending. John c. Ready chairman of the sys- tenn federation of shop crafts, was back from New York where he saw B. M. Jewell, national head of the shopmen and was close to the nego- tiations which were carried on be- tween the strikers organization and the N. Y. Central railroad manage ment.
 Mir Ready said that strike matters were nearing solution on roads close to the New Haven system.
 The shopmen were addressed by Rev. Charles Kelly who took as his subject "capital and labor" and went at length into the part women have taken in many industrical conflicts. The gallery was well filled with wives and other relatives of the strikers.

THREE BIRTHS TO
 EVERY DEATH HERE
Population of Haitian Island Being Trebled With Results Pleasing
 to Country.

Port-Au-Prince. Haiti, Sept. 20.- With ratio Of three births to each death, as shown by vital statistics fol the first six months of 1922, Haiti is rapidly increasing in population and is free from race suicide. A striking phase of this increase is that the diff ference in male and female babies is negligible. The gradual adoption or American sanitary methods, the inn provement Of the agricultural yield, and the cessation of Haitain revolu- tions with their considerable toll or deaths and hardships that were re- 1ected in succeeding generations are responsible for the marked increase in a naturally prolific people. Last year the ratio was two to one.
 Haiti's native population. when she revolted against France in 1791, was slightly over half a million Today it is estimated at 2.500,ooo, a steady and normal increase.
 Prior to the American occupation no vital statistics were collected by the Haitian government. Estimates of the population were made by the French priests and generally accepted. A system inaugurated by the Amer,- can Sanitary service, co-operated in by the Haitain gendarmerie, is begin ming to yield results of growing ac- curacy. The first six months of this year showed an increase of 60 per cent of the communes making re- ports, as compared to ten per cent, last year.

NATION MUST FACE
 FLAPPER PROBLEM
(Continued From First Page.)

American babies snatched by death from their mothers breasts every year before they have had time scarce to open their unseeing eyes upon the world about them.
 Half q million children, so-called defectives and delinquents, growing up almost totally neglected.
 "A million and half American boys and girls bent beneath the bur den Of premature toll In mine and mill and factory before they have sensed the duties and privileges of humanity.
 False Education
 Thirty million American children of school age, who even if they can win to the top for education, face in our schools false learning, an edu- cation that will not fit more than one In 10 of them for the places the, must occupy in life"
 But more portentous yet" con- tinued Secretary Davis, looms the problem of the child in industry. Ap- proximately million and half Am. erican boys and girls of school age are today thrown beneath the wheels of the juggernaut of industry, pressed to labor before their time, doomed tc the dreary drudgery of mine and mill and factory by economic necessity They face a hopeless future. Before them stretches the treadmill of unre. munerative labor with its few years of heartbreaking, soul soaring toi and at the end-a grave.
 Danger to Republic
 Here, if anywhere we face a real danger to the republic. Here is 8 menace greater than any that lies ir the blantat mouthings of doctrinaire. and demagogues who preach false DO litical and economic doctrines fir forum and market place. Not in the grasping gospel of the peddler of DO litical nostrun1s is our peril, but here where citizens of the future are broken, mentally, morally and phy. sically on the torture wheel of mis- led industrial management, is the evi which must be uprooted If America it to prevail"

Americans Reach Constantinople.

Constantinople. Sept 20. (By Asso ciated Press)-The American torpedo destroyer Simpson has arrived here bringing more American eyewitnesses of the smyrna fire. All agree that the flames originated in the Armenian quarter of the city and assert that the evidence strongly indicates that the Turks wilfully started the fire.
 The kemalists' hatred for the Ar menians is much more intense than for the Greeks. these observers eN- plain. and they believe the Turks de termined to exterminate the Armen- iuns at the moment of their invasion
 Turks Realize Mistake
 After the fire had progressed for a few hours the wind shifted suddenly from the north to the south, spread ing the flames to the European quar- ter which was soon laid waste, and the Turks, it Is said, then realized their mistake.
 The Americans declare the kemal- ists would not have dreamed of de- stroying the whole city for the pos session of which they had spent years of toll, unnumbered lives and much money, but it was palpable they aver that the Turks were bent upon wreak- ing vengeance on the Armenians for their alleged participation in the events of 1919 which led to the death of many Turks
 Saw Fires Being Set
 American sailors on patrol duty de clare they saw Turkish soldiers set ting houses afire and applying torches to heaps of rubbish in the streets.
 Officers aboard the American de- stroyers express the opinion that the 100000 hysterical men, women and children who rushed to the quay when the fire was at it's height would have been burned alive if the wind had not abated.
 No Fire Department
 Thev also believe that the use of dynamite or even water would have checked the flames. but neither was at hand. Smyrna had no fire depart ment.
 Information that Mustapha Kemal Pasha is preparing to launch an at- tack for the posse ession of the Oar danelles in spite of the exhortations of Gen. Pelle, French high commis- sioner, is causing undisguised anxiety in allied military circles in the capi- tal
