VICTORY Of
TURK STIRS
BIG POWERS
Fear Bolshevist Kemal
Alliance Constantine
May Abdicate.

London, Sept. 11.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. sweeping the Greek
forces from Asia Minor in a whirl-
wind campaign lasting only two
weeks, the Turkish Nationalists un-
der Mustapha Kemal Pasha have
won a great military victory and
at the same time at least partly
nullified the losses TO their nation
through the World war.
Thus is created a situation full
of gravest possibilities-one de-
manding the immediate adoption of
a united policy by Great Britain,
France and Italy-and such pol
icy is far from existent, according
to the views generally held here.
France and Italy Aided Kemal2
France and Italy are accused in
some quarters Of having not only
encouraged the KeIAllists but OF
having supplied them with arms
and munitions, although it is re-
ported now in the same circles that
they are becoming alarmed at the
unexpected extent Of the Turkish
success.
Italy's concern is said to have
been manifested in e. freshly ex-
pressed desire for a preliminary
conference Of the allies at Venice
to consider the situation, but this
finds no favor in London at any
rate.
The press greets with indications
or alarm the big claims advanced
by the Turkish representatives in
Paris and Rome, while soviet Rus
sia's alleged desire to establish a
bolshevist-Kemal alliance aimed at
control Of Constantinople and the
Straits of Dardanelles brings re-
newed demands that the neutrality
of these be maintained at all times
venizeIos May Return.
Another cause of uneasiness here
is the effect the Kemalists' victory
is having in India, where prayers
for their success have been said
daily in the mosques and every ad7
vance has been nailed with great
glee by the Mohammedans.
The position Of the Greek gov
ernment in the face of defeat also
is attracting attention here. Ath-
ems dispatches tell Of a recrudes-
cence Of the talk Of King Constan-
tines second descent from the
throne and the return to power OF
Venizelos.
The popularity Of the former pre-
mier is fiaring again with the dash
ing Of Constantine's military plans
and Greek soldiers reaching Pi-
raeus from Smyrna marched
through the streets Of the port
shouting insults to the king and
demanding Venizelos' return. The
Greek newspapers are openly dis
cussing the abdication Of Constan.

The illness of the First Lady of the
Land has detached President Hard

santly-everybody is worrying and

her personally but by the thou

Springfield, Ill, Sept. II. - (By
the Associated Press.)-Attorney
for Governor Len Small and Lieu
tenant-Goyernor Fred E. Sterling,
in the civil suits brought for recov-
cry of interest on state funds,
were prepared this morning to
argue for dismissal. of the cases in
the circuit court on the ground that
Attorney-General Brundage has
not legal authority to bring the
suits.
Motions for dismissal together
with demurrers filed by State Audi
tor Andrew Russell and other de-
PENDANTS, were to be heard by
Judge Norman L. Jones, to whose
jurisdiction the cases were trans
ferred after Judge E. S. Smith had
granted change Of venue
1t is the contention of attorneys
for the governor that the statutes
give authority only to the governor
to bring suit for the recovery of
such funds due the state and not to
the attorney-general. Affidavits
that no suits for this purpose had
been brought by the governor were
fled with his motion for dismissal

The motion to dismiss was filed
last Friday by Governor Small's at

in the suits were signers of gov

as state treasurer. Etha Curtis

What Bill Charges.
The bill in the suit against Gov
ernor Small set forth that he was
treasurer OF Illinois for two years
having been elected Nov. z, 1916. II
states that under the constitution
and laws he was prohibited from
receiving any other fee than $4,000
salary a year. and alleges that
shortly after taking office, acting
in concert with E. C. Curtis, de-
ceased, and Verne S. Curtis. he en-
tered on q plan whereby large
portions Of the moneys in his pos
session by virtue Of this office as
state treasurer, were to be used
for the personal advantage OF
Small, E. C. Curtis and Verne s.
Curtis, and the state Of Illinois was
to be deprived Of the interest and
profits from such use Of said mon
eys."
Furthermore, the bill alleges
large sums were turned ovNr to the
Grant Park Bank" instead of
'banks in the cities Of Illinois for
there was In truth no such bank.

New York. . Sept. 11.-He came
from Missouri and an old friend
met him as he stepped from the
Grand Central Station early today.
The friend sat, red-legged, brown
and serene on the window sill of
the waiting yellow taxicab. The
travelling man from Kansas City
rubbed his eyes and looked again.
The taxi got under way but the
friend was not disturbed.
well, what the -?'
Further astonishment halted the
a real grasshopper, riding placidly
down Fifth avenue in a taxicab.
The Missourian. accustomed as he
is to grasshoppers, never would
have believed it, except through his
own eyes. Missourians are motor
ious in that respect. The man
watched the insect with a peculiar
fascination. Nothing happened un-
til the cab reached Fifth avenue
and Thirty-fourth street. There
the hopper calmly pulled himself
together. and hoped out into the
traffic. What became OF the tiny
taxi-rider in that maelstrom no
one will ever know. Many another
wayfarer from the country has
been epgulfed in the mysterious
city.
Real ~Invasi0n.o
How the hopper got into the taxi
the driver did not know. But all
New York is wondering at a real
grasshopper invasion. A few days
ago a veritable nest of them was
found on the ledge Of the Forty
second story of the Woolworth
building. 1t is assumed that west
erly winds blew them over with
the mosquitoes from New Jersey.
Naturalists say the supposition
that hoppers can only hop is all
wrong. Some have been known to
fly as much as three miles. None
before. however, ever has been
known to reach the Forty-second
story Of a building. The light in
the WoolWorth tower may have at
tracted the bugs. New York's lights
have attracted many other sorts OF
bugs for 10 these many years.

brokerage firm, who is visiting in

Fairfax with friends, has expressed
the opinion that the outlook for an

this section and declared this to be
the most wonderful section of the
United States he had ever visited.
The broker touched on Henry Ford
and his Muscle Shoals project declar-
ing that his acquisition of the prop
erty would mean more for the South

come before the country in many
years and that the people should get
behind Ford and let him know he has
their cooperation in every way, for
