SERBS WILL NOT
HAVE TURKS
AS NEIGHBORS
Many Signs of Activity at
London Foreign Office,
Indicating Gravity OF
Situation - Believe the
Turks Strong Enough to
Take Turkish Capital

London, Sept. Is BY the Associated
Press One of the possible immedi-
ate results Of to-day's British cabinet
conference, is that Mustapha Kemal
Pasha viii be informed that he will
be met not only by British troops and
British ships but by Jugo-Slav army
If he attempts to occupy Constantine
ple and cross the straits of the Dar-
danelles.
1t is an established impression in
military circles that the Turkish ma
tionalist army is large enough to take
the Turkish capital if kemal so de-
sires; also that he has sufficient guns
to drive the feet out of the Bosphor-
us. II is considered unlikely, however,
that he would take such desperate
measures unless he was persuaded
that in no other manner could he OBJ
tain the capital or Thrace
On the other hand. there are init
nations that the Serbs, the dominat-
ing element in the Jngo Slav govern
ment. are determined not to have the
Turks as neighbors in Thrace or to
permit the Bulgars to secure foot
hold on the Mediterranean sea,
There were many signs of activity
at the foreign Office, indicating the
gravity Of the situation.
The horizon of the approaching con-
ference on the Near East il daily
broadening with intimations that Ru-
mania and Jugo Slavia will support
Greece and Great Britain in the ef-
fort to keep the Turks from regain
Thrace. A new factor has been brought
into the situation, however, by the
suggestion that Jugo Slavia would de-
mand as the price of her help, the
port of Saloniki. which she has long
coveted as her logical port of entry
on the south.

following his arr>st late yesterday on
a charge Of forgery under three counts.
In the meantime, Charles B. Adams,
states attorney was investigating
other notes issued by Smith during
recent years, those of the past year
alone totalling more than $4,000.
The notes on which Smith is
charged with having signed one or
