Great Demonstrations

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. II (By
The Associated Press) Official al
nouncement of the capture of
Smyrna by the Turkish natiOnalists
vas a signal for a series of demon
strations here. Groups of celebra-
tors paraded the city throughout the
night and the French and Italian
legations were serenaded.
The Greek troops in CONSTANT
nopIe were confined to their bar
racks and the allied patrols were
strengthened as a precaution against
trouble while heavy guard com
manded by the British colonel kept
the crowd moving before the Greek
legation.
During the demonstration a Greek
was 5;abbed to death in front of the
America Y. NJ. C. A. Sailors Club,
and a British dispatch bearer was
held up and his revolver taken.
The Bosphorus has lost much of
its warlike aspects. Great Britain,
France, Italy and the United States
sent virtually all their war vessels
to Smyrna, and perhaps the lack of
armed display lent courage to the
mobs in SCutari, Panderma and
other points on the Asiatic side
where Greek churches were raided
and the Greek flag trampled.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11:-Im-
provement in the condition of Mrs.
Harding, which began yesterday ),
continued throughout the night and
the forenoon, and physicians in at
tendance deferred the operation
which has been under consideration
President Harding was reported
to be greatly encouraged by the
seeming improvement.
Mrs. Harding spent "a fairly restful
night" but there was no markei i
change in her condition, Secretary
Wallace was informed at the White
House when he called shortly after
8 o'clock this morning to inquire as
to her condition.
The agriculture secretary did not
see the President but talked with
White House attaches.
Secretary Weeks, who called at
the White House soon after Mr.,
Wallace left, announced on leaving
that Mrs. Harding had spent the
best night in several nights and that
the slight Improvement which set in
yesterday was continuing with the
patients temperature getting nearer
normal.
Mr.. Weeks indicated that decision
as to an operation which was post
poned yesterday after a consultation
of physicians had not as yet been
reached, and that DR.. Charles Mayo,
the Rochester, Minnesota, specialist.
had told him last night that dcvel-
opments would be awaited.

DardanelIcS Freedom

PARIS, Sept. 11:-France has
definitely decided to stand firmly
with Great Britain for the freedom
OF the Strait of the Dardanelles and
some form of international control
OF Constantinople, it was declared in
official circles here today.
While frankly pleased over the
Turkish entry and the withdrawal
of tho Greeks from ASIA Minor,
official quarters now are evlncing
considerable anxiety over what they
consider are indications that the
Turkish nationalsts will be un-
reasonable in their demands.
In just what way France VIII
support England in maintaining the
freedom of the straits is not al
ed, but competent observers say
any military action by the Turks
toward occupation of the Darda-
relies, will result in military action
by the allies.
The statement of Turkish spokes-
men in Paris and other places that
the Nationalsts will demand Con-
stantinople and all of Thrace, nas
received much unfavorable COM
ment, unofficially.
Al. the Allied powers, it is
thought here, will be in accord in
limiting the Turkish ambitions to
Asia Minor with a nominal foot
hold in Europe.
This foothold. however, probably
will be insisted upon by France, but
may include only a relatively small
territory around the city of Cen
sta antinople, so that the Nationalists
desire to keep the sultan in Europe
can be realized.

failed to vote at last years general
election but all who desire to vote
at this years election were asked to
register tomorrow and thus qualify
for both this years primaries and

TOXIC, Sept. 11.-During the past
year in Japan nine aviators were
killed and twenty-five wounded in
39,371 flights, the gross mileage of
which was S12,960. These statistics
were issued by the aviation depart
ment of the war office and include
naval, military and civilian fiiers in
reply to complaints that accidents
had been frequent of late. These ac-
idents, it is explained, were due TO
adverse atmospheric conditions
above the central districts of the
country during the spring and sum-
mer.
"As a whole, airplane accidents in
this country are by no means so
numerous as the recent frequency of
accidental falls is apt to lead the
people to believe" says the report.
