ground that the party machinery was
not ready.
Mr.. Chamberlain, as party leader,
will preside at the Carlton club meet
ing, the result of which the prime
minister will await before deciding

The participation of Winston
Churchill, the colonial secretary, in
the campaign, has been suddenly cut
short by an attack of gastritis,
which has obliged him 0 cancel all
public engagements. Prior to Mr..
Chamberlains consultation, the pre-
mier held "a war council at No. 10
Downing street, with the members of
his cabinet, including Mr.. Chamber
lain, after which he departed for

cred scathing indictment of the
government, which, he said, had lost
all prestige and honor. He predicted
an election before Christmas and
rcundly condemned Mr.. Chamberlain's
suggestion of other parties combining
against Labor, as depriving Labor of
the right to vote and forcing the men
to direct action.
Sir Walter Runciman. at Liberal
meeting at Portsmouth, made an
other onslaught against the govern

New York. Oct. 16-The legal bat
tie to determine the right OF foreign
owned ships to enter ports in the

opened tonight with the issuing by
United States District Attorney Hay
ward of a reply to the bills in equity
brought by five steamship companies
to restrain enforcement OF the recent
ruling preventing The carrying Of
liquor on vessels entering American
ports. =.
The reply makes, in the main, four
contentious: That the district court,
before which the cases are to he
heard tomorrow morning. has no
jurisdiction in the matter; that the
suits are really against the United
States government; that they do not
show that the government has con
sented to be sued and that they d.
not disclose any basis for an action
in equity.
Upon these grounds. the defense Of
Henry c. Stuart, acting collector of
customs for the port Of New York,

ton director Cor the state Of New

the suits brought by the companies.

Envoy Declares
Frances Efforts
Pacifed Turkey

Paris. Oct. 16-By A. PIT was
the pacific policy of France. com
bined with the sincere desire of
Mustpha Renal Pasha to avoid war,
and not the British display of force,
which prevented war in the Near
East. n war which would have soon
assumed the proportion of the great
world conflict. NJ. Franklin Bouillon.
tho special French envoy at the re-
cent Mudania conference, told nearly
p hundred newspaper men of Is ma
tions who gathered at the foreign
Office tonight
at has been said in England that
the British fleet and British troops
alone halted the victorious Renal
lists" said NJ. Franklin Bouillon.
The truth is that every time force
was used and the British troops were
reinforced. negotiations with Musta-
pha Kemal Pasha became increas-
nsly difficult.
THE peaceful efforts of France al
ways interviewed just in time to pre-
vent open warfare and. had it not
been for France. peace would not
have been realized. In this connec-
ton, I wish to pay tribute to the con-
sistcnt struggle the Turkish COM
mandcr waged to maintain peaceful
relations with the allies. He accom-
plishcd this in the face of victor
ious army which was within but 40
kilometres of their capital, Constan-
tinople"
NJ Franklin Bouillon charged that
the British general staff at Constan-
tinople had issued a false COM
munique. telling of the breakdown of
the Mudania conference because of
the Turkish demand for immediate
occupation OF Thrace.
This was all the news that the
world had of the Mudania conference
for As hours. and essentially, war
existed during that period" said the
French envoy. when General Har-
ington heard OF this communique. he
vas astonished and said that he had
authorized no such communication.
II was such things as these which we
had to contend with in trying to
make peace in the Near East.
1.-THE breakdown Of all forms of
communication. including the wire
less left the Mudania conference in
suspense for nearly three days. Why
this break occurred 1 do not know;
especially at time when the danger
was as great if not greater. than in
the Hateful days of 1914. During this
period, 10000 Turks. perfectly
equipped and flushed with victory.
were within a day or two's march of
Constantinople, while 100000 more.
equally fresh and ready, were in the
second line of defence. The arrival
OF the British reinforcements only
served to make them more restless"

DENIES WHOLESALE
BURNING VILLAGES
IN THRACE SECTION

Constantinople, Oct. 16.-(By A. P.)
Lieutenant General Harrington,
commander of the Allied forces, to-
day denied emphatically that there
had been any widespread turning of
villages in Thrace and appealed to
the American and British cores
pondents to use the utmost caution
and discretion in reporting events in
the evacuated areas where the sit
uation was most delicate.
I'VE have a;rplanes flying over
Eastern Thrace," he said, and they
have been unable to detect any fires.
On the contrary, they report that
evacuation is proceeding satisfac-
torily.
THE Greek general staff has is
sued the strictest orders to the popu-
laton and soldiers against incen-
diarism or disorders of any kind. The
Allied armies have made thorough
preparations for orderly and peace
full evacuation, and | am confident
we shall succeed in carrying out a
most difficult task"
General Harrington said that in
order to convince the national gov
eminent there was no truth in the
widespread reports of burnings he
had invited Hamid Bey or his rep
1esentative to fly over East Thrace
with British aviators.
The British general received forty
American and British correspondents
today and expressed regret that trey
had been excluded from the Mudania
conference He took full RESPONSE
blity for the act, saying he thought
the conference was going to be strict
IN military, but subsequent events
proved it was also political. He
was the first to lift the embargo
when he saw that the conference vas
10 be opened to everybody.
The Nationalist. according to
General Harrington. were Loyalty tul-
filling the terms of the armistice and
had retired behind the agreed lines,

welfare of disabled veterans was it's
chief interest. The governments
handling of the disabled from the
time the armistice was signed Down
to the present, was described as one
of tragic mistakes, politics, alibis,
and blunders," in the report of the
Legions rehabilitation committee,
and Colonel G. r. Forbes, director of
the United States Veterans Bureau,
in counter statement to newspaper
men, asserted that the bureau which
he heads was the most perfect large
organization in the world" and that
implied criticisement of it, was not
justified ty facts.
Charles Bertrand. president Of the
Inter-Allied Veterans Federation,
and officer to the French Legion of
Honor bore renewed pledges of
fraternity and friendship to tie

with the United States in the World
War
Something Of a furry was caused
at the morning session of the con-
vention when George P. Berry. of
Tennessee, a national vice command
or of the Legion, asserted in a speech
that the action of the United States
district attorney here in obtaining
an injunction closing a number of
soft drink parlors here for the dur
alton of the Legion of the conven-
ton was a "gratuitous affront to
the Legion" Legionnaires. Mr.. Berry
asserted, were friends and guardians
of law and order, and had shown it
by their war service.
