By Bishop Cannon
CRv Associated Pressl

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 10.-Eiolation
by France Of its agreement to pro-
tect Armenians was responsible in a
large measure for the slaughter OF
Christians in Turkey, according to
Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of the
Methodist Episcopal church in the in
terest of Near East relief.
France never was a more shameless
desertion of people than that Of the
Armenians by France" Bishop Cannon
said
When the Turks were defeated in
the world war, the French told the
Armenians that if they Joined them in
defeating Germany that when the war
was over France would see they had
protection.
."Instead France slipped in the back
door and signed a treaty with the
Angora government Of which NO other
nation had any knowledge until it was
completed. Then without notice the
French army evacuated and left the
Armenians at the mercy Of the Turks.
The abandonment Of the Greeks by the
French was bad enough. but the aban-
dOnment of the Armeuians is too hor-
Iible to be long thought Of"

TEN ARMY PLANES
CONDUCT SEARCH
FOR MISSING FLYER
Complete Change Made in
Efforts to Locate Army
Officers.
fRv Associated Pressl

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Dec. 10
Searches for Col. Frances G. Marshall
and Lieutenant Charles L. Weber,
missing since Tuesday when they
were well on their way in flight
from San Diego to Tuscon, Arizona.
made a complete change in the field of
operations today. A report was re-
ceived that an airplane, now believed
to be the one in which Lieutenant
Webber was taking Colonel Marshall
east, had passed Tacha, Aclzona, a
station on the Southern Pacific, 200
mile seast Of San Diego -.
The searchers had been working on
the theory that q plane reported to
have passed over Estrella, Arizona,
nearly 900 miles from San Diego, was
that piloted by Lieutenant Weber.
Officers at Rockwell field said today'S
information led them to believe this
plane was not Webber's. They also
said that the time when an airplane
was reported to have passed over Tao
ma matched more closely with what
they believed Webber's flying schedule
to have been.
At any rate, the ten machines pa
trolling in the search are reported to
have gone today over the different
passes Of the Mohawk and Crowler
mountains and to have extended their
search as far south and east as No
gales.
The report from Tacna added several
thousand square miles to the terri
tory to be searched.
Every available aviator at Rockwell
field and five airplanes from Fort
Bliss are working in the search.
Major Arnold. commander at Rock
well field here, and Captain Charles
Rust. who arrived from San Antonio
yesterday were the only flying officers
today at Rockwell field.
Captain Rust was to have Joined
the searchers today, but had bad
weather prevented his leaving. No
plans to fly east tomorrow.

ISMET IS NOT
WORRIED over
RUSSIAN MOVE
Turks Disposed to
Accept Occidental
Ideas, Rejecting
Russ Proposals.
(By Associated Press)

LAUSANNE, Dec. 10.-Ismet Pasha
is not worried over the attempts of
George Tchitcherin, the soviet foreign
minister, to turn Turkey away from
Europe and America and plunge her
into the arms of soviet Russia. He
refused to influence Turkish CORE
spondents against sending to their
home newspapers full accounts Of
Tchitcherin's structures of yesterday
that Turkey, by opening up the Dard-
anelles, was exposing both Turkey
and Russia to future destruction by
the great powers. Unmoved by the
Bolshevik blast, Ismet TRANQUILITY went
to Geneva today as a guest of honor
at dinner arranged by the Ottoman
society.
A leading Turkish publicist, cabling
to Constantinople, introduced his mar
rative Of Tchitcherin's warnings to
Turkey by relating the story of the
grand vizier, who. when in doubt as
to how to rule his realm, invariably
decided upon policy the reverse of
that desired by Russia.
THAT grand vizier was right" de-
clared the Turkish correspondent. be
cause Russia is our hereditary enemy.
Tchitcherin prates about affinity and
community of interests between the
forgetting that there are today in
Russian Turkestan, thirty million
Turks who, if they dwelt formerly
under the oppression of Czarism, are
today ruled by an iron hand under
the blight of Bolshevism."
Red Policies Unpopular.
The closing of the fourth week of
the conference has been marked by
a distinct disposition on the part of
the Turks to accept occidental ideas
and reject Russian policies, particu-
larly as regards the straits problem.
This was due in a considerable meas
ure to the tact and wisdom shown by
Amba assador Child, NJ. Barrere and
Lord Curzon, who have tried to make
the Turkish leaders see that they
could trust the occident.
Difficulties are being met with in
the laying down of the status Of for
eigners but it was said today that
there We're good prospects for settling
the extra territorial problems, partic-
ularly those involving special courts
for foreigners.
The Turks are holding out strongly
for all sovereignty prerogatives and
have given the other delegates to un-
derstand that henceforth they will
refuse to foreigners the right to own
land in Turky. AS this law would
not be retroactive it would not affect
property in the possession of Ameri-
can missionary and philanthropic in
stitutions.
Another project accredited to the
Angora statesmen, which will prob
ably come to light this week at Lau-
! same, relates to refusal to issue per
mits to foreign lawyers to practice
within the confines of Turkey.

The grizzly paused for a moment

had-including a prayer--into one
more shot-the last he would be able
to fire before the bear would be upon
