yENIZELos PROTESTS DISPOSAL OF TERRACE
 By Associated Press

London. October 3.-Former Pre- mier Venizelos of Greece, in g letter to the Times, protested against the return of Thrace to the Turks, who since the beginning of the war, he declares, have destroyed in Asia Minor more than a million and half Armenians. He says:
 If it is necessary to give further guarantees to kamel, and the prom ise concerning return of eastern Thrace will meet with no obstacle in it's execution, this province could, as last resort. be occupied by allied troops until execution of the treaty.
 'If Kemal withdraws from the neutral zone, and the British troops are thus freed from the present pres sure exercised upon them, they will constitute force in conjunction with attachments of troops belong ing to the other allied powers, whose contingents are relatively small. to occupy the whole of eastern Thrace.
 "This military occupation would give them the power and the right of absolute control of the Greek administration, so that all Turkish fears regarding security Of their CO., rehgionists might be allayed."

 Contending that in this manner the Christian population would be guar anteed by peace treaty. or should Turkey insist upon evacuation, the powers would be able to assure or derly evacuation before Turkish oc- cupation began, Venizelos. asks: Can 1t really be said with honesty that am asking too much or that came here as a friend and war monger 2"

I have already reported my views to the Greek government and I venture to believe that my opinion will have some weight with them.

 This letter seems to put an end to the report that the Venezelists. who are in favor of fighting for the retention of eastern Thrace, that is on the supposition that the new Greek

US. MUST ENTER NATIONS
 CARAWAY FEELS
Arkansas Senator Is More Convinced Than Ever of Advantages of President
 Wilson's Ideal
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The AKe-Herald.
 800 Davidson BuiidinK.

Washington. October 5.- (Special) While the favorite pastime in Eu- rope is "cussing America and while there is grave danger that the United States, unless conditions un- dergo a change will be forced to send it's statesmen or it's army across the seas, Senator T. II. Caraway of Ar kansas. democrat, declares himself more convinced today than ever be- fore that the United States should enter the League Of Nations.
 The Arkansas Senator. who con nected the Attorney General with the scandal based on the pardon or c. W. Morse. has just returned from an of ficial mission to Europe. To corre- spondents today, he discussed all the countries he visited, but refrainei from talking of the embroglio in the Near East.
 .'ft Is a significant fact,p said the Senator, "that every American visit ing Europe and becoming apprised Of the situation advocates entrance by the United States into the League or Nations. Senator Mckinley of Illi- nois, standpat republican. became so enthused that he repeatedly waxed eloquent. The League of Nations,
  could stabilize Euro pc. As it Is, how ever. the situation is so fearful that it may be necessary sometime for the United States to send either its statesmen or it's soldiers across the sea.
 Europe is not at work. Franc 5 has become the spoiled child and ac- tuslly believes that it saved civiliza tion and is entitled 10 perpetual adu- lation. England is restless and aggressive. the situation in Greece Russia, Austria and Germany Is rev olutionary.
 Europe must be told to abardon It's armies and scrap its naviea and begin constructive work. Euro pe must be informed that it can expect no assistance or sympathy from us unless it displays intention of help- ing itself"
 All members Of the European cong mission save Senator w. J. Harris Of Georgia have returned home. Sena- tor Harris will land at New York Oc- tober ].

Irish Parliament Making Progress
 On Constitution
By A.ssnciated Pres.

Dublin. october 3.-The Irish Par liament is making unexpectedly smooth and rapid progress in the de- bate in common on the draft of the constitution. The draft is going through with very slight amendment in committee, and doubtless will be adopted without essential altera- tions.
 Today Clause XVII making the oath of allegiance obligatory upon all members of the Free State Par liament, in accordance with the for mula contained in the Anglo Irish treaty, was adopted by a large ma jority in it's original form Attempts were made to amend the oath to meet the objection of the anti-treatyites and laborites, but these were re- jected after brief debate.
 Adoption of this clause is regarded as removing the last obstacle to giv- ing the treaty form of law and as insuring that the constitution will be ready for submission to the British Parliament for ratification at she autumn session.

Only seven Of the nine mem bers have taken part in the discus bert Phillips, of the labor group, and Samuel Higgins of the railroad group were absent. |
 The public representatives, Chair man Ben W. Hooper, R. M. Barton and G. ". w. Hanger. it is authoritatively reportedf sponsored the rejected in- crease. It was understood that their offer was based on the general change in industrial conditions since last March when the evidence upon which the last cut of the track and common labcrers' wages, amounting to five cents an hour was presented. This decrease became effective July l.
 Evidence offered the labor board at the recent plea for an increase made by E. F. Cradle. president of the union, the public group was un- derstood to have held, was that the decreases in wages and living condi- ticn predomnated over advances until June this year. Since then. they neld, there has been slight upward trend.

Des Moines, la, October 3.-Resolu- tions were passed at meeting of 200 republicans today denouncing Smith W. Brookheart, republican can- didate for United States senator and pledging support to Clyde L. Herring, democratic candidate.
 Plans for a statewide campaign among republicans to oppose the can didacy of Colonel Brookhart, who was nominated over a field of five other candidates at the June primaries, were perfected.
 Colonel Brookhart was denounced in practically every one of the score or more of speeches as a radical with socialistic sympathies."
 Dr. Herring was not mentioned by name in the resolution, but was re- ferred to as the only candidate for United States senator who is oppos- ing socialism.
 When republicans find themselves without republican w,ho is in good faith running for an important of flee, and they are therefore limited to a choice between a democrat and a spokesman of socialism. they must ac- cept the democrat as an exponent of misguided political and economic judgment, but as one who stands nevertheless for constitutional gov ernment and American institutions.n the resolution says.
 Repudiatc Braokhart
 'swe serve, therefore, both our party and our country when we ac- cept the one alternative now avail able in repudiating the candidacy of Smith W. Brookhart and pledging our votes to the only candidate for United States senator who is opposing so- cialism.
 His constant appeal and invita- ton to democrats and socialists to vote for him in an acknowledgement of his insincerity as a republican can dictate" the resolution declares.
 s'If elected to the United States Senate he would give voice in the name of republicans to class con- flict and unsafe vagaries for the ma tionalization or socialization of pri- vate industry"
 MT. Herring issued statement in which he said he wanted it under stood that he is democratoc candi- date, and that he is running on the democratic platform adopted by 100,- 900 democrats here in Des Moines.
