Santiago, Chilean earthquake of
great magnitude and far spread effect
rocked Chile from end to end. 1t was
accompanied by tidal wave. and the
combined force of the Garth tremors
and the sweep of the water did vast
damage. the extent of which it is i'm
possible to. estimate because telegraph
ic lines were carried down at various
places. The provinces of Antofogasta,
Atacama and Coquimbo suffered most,
the central points of the quake lying In
the latter two provinces and. 80 far

has the largest casualty list with about
100 killed and many seriously injured.
1t was for time feared that the
city OF Antofokasta had suffered a
great disaster, but most of the damage
done at that point was due to tidal
wave. No report of loss of life has
yet come from Antofogasta.
Chanaral, in Atacama, has virtually
feon abandoned, as many buildings
were wrecked by the immense seas
sweeping in when the earth shocks
had ceased. The greater part Of this
town was destroyed.
Throughout the province Of Coquim-
bo hundreds of houses were leveled,
while the residents fled to the hills.
At the port of Coquimbo tidal wave
beat over the entire sea 'front.' flooding

has announced that the date of the
Greco-Turkish peace conference at
Lausanne had been tentatively set
for mot later than November 90"
Originally the date set was Novem-
ber 13, but the British government
desired postponement. 1t was said
that the British were arguing for a
still later date, but the French gov
ernment considers weeks postpone
ment ample.
The same uncertainty also clouds
the proposed preliminary meeting be
tween the representatives of Great
Britain, France and Italy. The Brit.
ish desire a sort Of inter-allied con
ference to plecede the Lausanne gath.
ering, while M. Poincare, the French
premier, thinks simple "conversa-
tions" will be adequate. He has sug-
gested that he can see Lord Curzon,
the British foreign secretary, while
Lord Curzon is passing through Paris
on his way to Lausanne.
Italy's position is rather vague.
Rome dispatches have said that Pre-
mier Mussolini was not ready for the
conference. They did not indicate,
however, when he would be prepared
to be represented at Lausanne, or
what would be his attitude to con-
versations between the principal al
lies.
Most OF the French delegation,
headed by NJ. Bompard, intended to
leave for Lausanne at once, but their
trip was cancelled when M. Poincare
decided that he wo.s:.d await the ar.
rival here of Lord Curzon. Meantime
the French have not completed the
organization of their corps of experts
and it is likely that General Weygand
and Adrirai Lacaze will be respec-
lively the delegations military ard
naval advisers.
The Turkish delegation, headed by
Ismet Pasha, which left Constantine
pie only recently, may not remain at
Lausanne, where it has just arrived,
but continue on to Paris. The French
government has asked the Angora
representative here. Ferid Bey, to
notify lsinet of the postponement
and to invite the delegation to come
to the capitol.
Premier Poincare will be busy with
speech in the chamber Of deputies.
so that it is expected whatever in
ter-allied conference of conversation
is finally agreed on it will take plgce
at once. M. Poincare, it is said, is
even willing to go to Lausanne for a
talk with Lord Curzon and DR.. Mus.
snlini, particularly II this would serve
the convenience of Mussolini. Every.
thing, in consequence, is as much in
the afr as the plans for the Lausanne
conference have been.

Fred J. Jarvis of the Barton Auto

If the public more fully realized the

Colorado advertises as follows: "a re-
