CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 21. =
With Turkish forces rapidly concen-
trating on the border of the neutral
zone, General Harrington, commander
of Britain's near East army, today
served notice on Mustapha Kemal that
any advance into the inter-allied terri
tory would be considered an act of
war
This was Britain's reply to the
threat of Hamid Bey, Kemalist repre-
sentative in Constantinople that the
Turks would cross the neutral zone to
invade Thrace if that province were
not turned over to them Immediately.
Throughout the night British troops
dug in on the Near East front, rein
forcements going up from all the gar
risons in Constantinople.
The railway stations we're crowded
as wives of British officers and scores
OF other persons took their departure
from the war zone.
Prepare For Attack.
In spite of General Harrington's s
warning, the Turks were reported
bringing up artillery and cavalry and
making every preparation for the at
tack.
The British were throwing up de-
fenses to command the two points at
which the Turks are expected to strike,
the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus.
These two narrow straits are the only
ones the Turks could cross to invade
Europe without warships and trans
ports.

FOX MIGHT LEASE
 LYCEUM THEATER
Rumor Has It That New York The. atrical Magnate Seeks Another
 House In This City

That the William Fox motion pie ture company of New York, is inter- ested in securing lease on the Ly- ceum theater for the next few years, was a well founded rumor which spread about town today.
 Walenty Lech. present lessee of the amusement house, said that he had heard that the Fox interests were de- sirous of securing the house and he cern had been here to see members of the Lyceum Amusement corporation in regards to the proposition.
 Joseph Manouski, president of the Lyceum Amusement corporation said this afternoon that no member of the Fox firm had interviewed him in the matter, but he said that there were two or three different parties desir- ous of scuring the house but no agree ment has been reached between them and the local corporation.
 It has been rumored in theatrical circles for some time that William Fox has been wanting to secure an. other theater in New Britain to house his shows in when his lease on the present Fox theater on West Main street expires in September of next year.
 There was at one time some talk about a new theater to be erected on the site of the former Landers home on Main street next to the Bronson hotel. The property Is now owned by s. Shurberg, coal dealer, who at in. tervals has stated that new theater would be erected on that site. Fox at one time had a sign on the Shurbetg block saying that he would erect a new theater on this spot.

A resolution stating that Mir Roraback's displacement would be to the partys advantage was carried 3 to ?, Mrs. Mitchell voting for it.

MUST JUS! USE. SOFT $! I',,,r. l COAL IN HOMES
Such Is Condition That Will Pre- vail for Months, Dealers Say

That soft coal must be consumed for several months at least by house- holders who are not fortunate enough to have supplies of anthracite, Aas the unanimous opinion of representa- tives of several local coal concerns in informal conference in city hall this afternoon directly before they went into conference with the fuel committee recently named by Mayor A. M. Paonessa.
 The dealers have been informed that operations will be resumed next Monday and that shipments to. this section of the country will be made by boat. New Britain's supplies will be picked up at New Haven and transported to this city by whatever means is found possible.
 For how long a period the use of soft coal will be necessitated was a question that the dealers differed upon. It was the consensus of opinion that no coal would be shipped here for month at least and it was generally conceded that the average householder would have to depend almost entirely upon soft ccal for about three months.
 Bituminous is marketed at a price lower than anthracite. For heating and cooking it is said to be equally as good as hard coal. but it has a ten- dency to form clinkers and is more gassy than is anthracite.
 E. W. Christ Elected.
 E. w. Christ was elected chairman of the fuel committee at todays con- ference. Representatives of the sev- eral departments who gathered at the mayors office reported total needs of 2,100 tons of bituminous and 1900 tons of anthracite. They were in- formed that the securing of anthra- cite at present was out of the question and bituminous must be consumed for some time to come.

credence since the congressional as- pirant from the start has been a strong Spellacy man, his friends say.
 A gradual trend of feeling for the nomination of Homer Cummings for United States senator in preference to either SpeNacy or Lonergan, is being felt locally. word having been re- ceived that Cummings can be induced to accept the nomination, provided there is no contest. Both being rec ognized as strong party men," it is felt that Lonergan and Spellacy would withdraw in avoidance of a party breach. Because of the nucer- tainty of the situation regarding the post of U.

 Although 1t was reported about the city early today that two separate states would be introduced in the several wards, inquiry in democratic circles indicates that while there may be instances where prospective dele gates have been grouped together. there will be no concerted effort to put across q slate in the interests of any candidate. It has been reported that Paonessa had joined forces with the Spellacy followers and in return for virtual promise of place on the state ticket was laboring in Spellacy's interests.
