CONSTANTINOPLE, September 20.-
wealthy Armenians and Greeks are
leaving the city hastily, paying high
prices for berths on westbound steam
ers. The panic is due mainly to fan
tastic reports circulated among the
people and to exaggerated stories
about the Turkish attitude toward
the civilian population OF Smyrna.
The most widely circulated story Is
that Kemal Pasha told an American
relief worker that when we enter
Constantinople we shall not spare
single Christian house." Though this
is without any foundation in fact, 1t
ia believed by everybody, and the
panic is spreading rapidly.
On the other hand. the kemalist and
bolshevist agents, the number or
which has increased recently. are ex-
citing the Mussulman population in
Stamboul by spreading news OF al
legged misbehavior Of the allies in
SMYRNA. They say that British and
American warships bombarded the
Turkish quarter. killing a large num-
Der of Mussulmans.
Kemal Demands Reply.
IT is understood here that in the
reply Of the nationalists to the allies
regarding the neutral zone in the
of the Bosporus and the
Dardanelles Kemal Pasha has
agreed to keep away from this ter
ritory until the question of the
straits has been settled at a. con-
ference which he urges should be
held Immediately. He demands that
the allies give him permission to
enter Thrace, which is still occupied
bv the Greeks. He bases his demand
on the fact that, "for two years the
allies have permitted the Greeks to
use Constantinople as base of
operations against Turkey and he
therefore cannot see why the allies
should object to the Turkish army
crossing into Turkish territory oc,,
cupied by enemy troops. kemal

approved by Gen. Beach. chief of en-

extension of the Capital Traction line

Plan Public Park.
A radical change ip the George
town approach of the bridge is in
volved in the new traffic arrangement.
Instead Of opening into NJ street at 34th
street, on a curved line from 35th street.
as originally planned. the approach will
be located near 35th street, and the
territory thus saved will be convert
ed into a public park, with terraced
lawns, trees and plants, extending
from NJ street to the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal. The effect of this change
will be to straighten the Georgetown
end of the bridge and facilitate the
operation of the street cars and gen.
eral traffic.
At the southern approach at Ross
lyn loop will be provided for the
street cars crossing the bridge and
sites provided for terminals at that
point for the two Virginia railroads
Roadways for general traffic will be
outside the loop, and it will not be
necessary to cross the tracks at any
point. The street cars will run on
a level with the highway on both
sides, and long loading platforms will
on the car lines in this city.
Traffic on the highways also will
be regulated ins the same way so
that no trouble is anticipated in load
ing and unloading the cars and max
ing connections with the Virginia
lines and highways.

the transfer of the Turkish forces to

The railway from Konia to Mesopo-

PARIS, September 20.
The allied conferees ON the near
eastern situation decided late to-
dny to call a peace conference Of
eight nations interested in a set
flement to determine the terms OF
peace. This conference will meet
probably within two or three
weeks.
The conference, 1t was announced,
will consist of Representatives of
Great Britain, France. Italy. Tur-
key, Greece. Japan, Kumania and
JugOslavia.
PARIS. September 20.-An agree
ment between Great Britain and
France on the near eastern problem
seemed reasonably assured after q
two-and-a- -halfhour conversation be-
tween Premier Poincare and LORD
Curzon, British foreign secretary, al
The French foreign Office this fore
noon.
The two ministers outlined to each
other at great length the views OF
their governments, and considerable
progress was believed to have been
made toward an understanding.
Lord CurZoR is understood to have
informed NJ. Poincare that Great
Britain would insist upon the abso-
Lutte freedom of the straits of the
freedom by the presence of a large
fleet.
The British foreign secretary. how.
ever. is said to have intimated thai
the British military effort in the near
east would be confined to the navy
which gave rise to the impression thai
the British troops would soon be
withdrawn from Chanak.
French Policy Pacific.
Premier Poincare Informed Lord
Curzon that the French policy was
decidedly pacific, it's chief aim being
to make peace as soon as possible
He urged the Immediate calling of a
peace conference for a final settle
ment on the basis of the Turks re-
naming on the Asiatic side of the
straits pending the outcome or the
conference.
The two ministers were in agree
ment on the necessity of maintaining
the freedom of the straits although II
is understood there may be some dlt-
ference of opinion as to the character
of the control to be exercised.
Lord Curzon arranged for private
conversation with Count SforZa, the
Italian representative, prior to the
opening of the allied conference at
$50 o'clock this afternoon, at which
the French, British and Italian repre-
Sentatives We're to be assisted by
various experts, of whom Admiral
Earl Beatty is one
Admiral Beatty arrived during the
morning. NJ. Ninchiteh, the Jugoslav
foreign minister, also will take part in
the conference to the end that Bal
kan countries. which are vitality in
terested in Turkeys attempt to re-
turn to Europe, may participate In
any peace pre1iminaries decided on.
JuEoslav Premier Arrives.
Another element OF interest was
added to the discussions by the ar
rival in Paris during the forenoon of
Premier Pachitch of Jugoslavia. He
came from Marienbad.
T ehpreliminary conversation ended
at 1:3O O'Clock after a session OF two
hours and a half. Lord CurZon on leav-
ing said:
"It was simply private conversation.
Some progress was made. There is
nothing to be said for the moment. We
will resume at $3.50 o'clock and con-

A SPECIAL
! CONGRESS SESSION
Leaders After Seeing Presi-
dent Say November IS
Likely Day of Converting.

A special session Of Congress will
be called early in November, prob
ably by the 18th. according to views
expressed today by several republi-
can leaders in Congress who con-
ferred separately at the White House
with the President. The latter is re-
ported to favor strongly special
session because Of important 1egisla-
ton he is anxious to have passed
without unnecessary delay.
Among those who conferred with
the executive today were: Senators
Lodge, republican leader Of the Sem
ate; Warren, Wadsworth and Calder,
and Speaker Gillette, House Leader
Mondell and Representative Madden,
chairman Of the appropriations COM
mittee.
Representative Monde1l, after his
audience with the President, stated
with much positiveness that there
would be special session called
about November Is. He said there
were various reasons for such action.
Speaker Gillette appeared to be of
I'the same opinion. Both, however,
were SaClSNeQ CQdC tHe present SeS-
sion of Congress will adjourn by Fri
day.
Railroad Bill Mentioned.
1t was pointed out by these callers
that President Harding, probably
above everything else, is anxious to
the merchant marine bill. At the
same time, republican leaders Of both
houses are understood to be especially
desirous to complete the railroad bill,
which is intended to prevent future
railroad strikes and tie-ups in the
nations transportation system.
Another reason advanced for calling
special session is the necessity Of
getting an early start in the prepara-
tion of various appropriation measures.
Mr.. Mondell said it was probable the
omnibus public buildings bill would
lbe permitted to pass next year, ex-
planning that there had not been
appropriations for such activities by
the government for several years
past. He looked also for more appro-
priations for rivers and harbors,
despite the fact that Congress was
quite liberal in this respect during the
past session.
Denies Treasury Deficit.
Although President Harding has been
advised that the Treasury faced a deficit
of something like $700,000.000 at the
end of the current year, Leader Mondell
took exception to the statement. He de-
clared that, on the contrary, the Treas
ury, balances at the end Of the year will

larger appropriations on needed activi-
| ties which some believe were neglected
during the past year or SO.
