TURKS HOLDING
NEUTRAL ZONE

Constantinople, Sept. 28 (By tn,
Associated Press). Events are sure
ly approaching a climax. The Turk
have occupied the entire neutral zon,
on the Asiatic side of the Dafda
nelles with the exception Of the Cha
max area, around which they have es
tablished infantry units in semi-cir
Gle, virtually investing the British
lines.
The Turkish cavalry squadron Il
retiring and the British troops, wht
are in strong force at Chanals, ar,
ready for what may happen.
In these circumstances General
Harrington, the British commander.
in-chief, has sent a wireless messagt
to Kemal Pasha at Smyrna asking
for an immediate personal meeting
He leaves the choice Of place to KEN
al, whose reply is expected momen
tarily.
Yussuf Kemal Pasha, the Nation
alist foreign minister, is understood
to have gone to Angora to submit
the allied joint note to the National
lists assembly, but in the meantime
the Turkish concentrations are being
pushed with the greatest speed.
British reinforcements are reaching
here and the threatened AREA, the
superdreadnaughts Revenge and Res.
olution, the most powerful fighting
machines afloat, have arrived in thr
Dardanelles, with battalion Of
North Staffordshires and 1000 men
of the British air forced landed today
and marched through Constantinople
with bands playing. Their presence
has helped to bring about a reassur.
ing effect.
The Turkish instructions to the
men in the Chanak sector are to ad-
vance to the farthese possible point
without meeting resistance. They
are now practically against the Brit
ish entrenchments and obviously the
situation can not be indefinitely pro-
longed.
Notwithstanding the Kemalist con-
centrations around Chanak, however
the British are confident Of holding
their lines against all odds. They de-
clare that their fanks are we'll pro-
tected by the fleet. The battleships
with their 16-inch guns can sweep
the whole area around Chanak for a
Idistance .of 20 ui|ss. and =. q ppsaj;
of their giant naval guns and use
them for shore batteries.
The Turks at present have only
machine guns in the Chanak area. II
they brought up heavy artillery the
security of Chanak might be serious
ly challenged, the British admit, but
the entrenchments in this sector are
said to be more efficient than any
used in the World war. Since Sep
tember II 1000 men from the labor
squad, 1000 from the fleet and sew
eral thousand from the army have
been steadily building trenches and
setting up gun emplacements.

ATTENTION GIVEN
JEALOUSY MOTIVE

New Brunswick, N. j., Sept. 28.-
Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, widow o.
the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, slair
clergyman, was "a devil" in the eye,
of Mrs Eleanor Reinhart Mills, hi,
choir leader, whose body was found
beside him nearly two weeks ago.
This information, with it's bearing
on possible jealousy motive for 9
double Staying was given detectives
today by Miss Millie Opie, a neighbor
of the Mills family. Miss Opie earlier
had told Of frequent telephone con-
versations between Mr.. Hall and Mrs
Mills and many visits made by the
slain rector to the Mills home. The
"devir' incident, she recalled today
grew out of a pleasure trip to Point
Pleasant, Jersey coast resort. The
party, consisting of Mr.. and Mrs. Hall
and Mrs. Mills was to start at 9
o'clock on the morning of July IL,
Miss Opie said.
When Mrs. Hall failed to call for
her at the appointed hour, Mrs. Mills
telephoned the Hall home. turning
away with the petulant remark that
Mrs. Hall wanted "to make the day
as short as possible" Miss Opie said.
After the outing, she said, Mrs.
Mills told her that Mrs. Hall was "a
devil"
William Stevens, brother of Mrs.
Hall, was questioned again at length
today, bringing to the court house
with him the clothing he wore on the
night of the double Staying. He was
examined at length about spots said
by cleaner to have been on one of
his vests sent out for dry cleaning
since Mr.. Hall and Mrs. Mills were
killed.
Emerging from the court house,
Stevens faced a group of reporters
belligerently and said:
II want you fellows to stop calling
me Willie. Call me William Stevens
or Mr.. Stevens. I want you to dis
tinctly understand that am not fee
BILE minded and I am not sissy.
"If you don't believe me-" he con-
tinued, extracting a battered briar
from his pocket, "smell this pipe"
Mr.. Halls will was fled for pro-
bate in the Middlesex surrogate's
court today Dated July II, 1921, It
|bequeathed all hin property to Mrs.
Hall and named tey ekacut<ix ID ID
dlesex county on the recommendation
of Prosecutor Stricken today adopted
resolution Offering a reward Of ST.
900 for the detention, apprehension
and conviction of the murderer. The
reward will be paid if it is proved
that the crime was committed in
Middlesex county.
A copy of the resolution was sent
to the board of freeholders of Somer.
set county, which is contiguous to
Middlesex, with a request that a SINH
lar reward be offered in that county.

GREECE IN GRIP
OF REVOLUTION

Mitylene, Sept. .2S Gy the Asso.
ciated Press).-All 0reS;e, includina
her islands, is aflame wiS the revolu.
tion which began Monday night or
this historic island in the Aegean sea
Seventy-five thousand disaffected
soldiers, who were driven out OF
Smyrna by the forces of Mustapha
Kemal Pasha, stormed the governor
generals palace and imprisoned all
the officials, including the governor
and Generals Braca and Franco. They
took possession Of the telegraph lines
and Of the radio so that Athens
would not know revolt was under
way. Their next move was to seize
the port officers and take over COM
mand Of the battleships Lemnos and
Kilkos.
Then they commandeered all the
vessels in the harbor, Including the
Greek transatlantic liners Megali,
Hellas and Patris. Before embarkiny
for Piraeus on these vessels the SOL
diers paraded the street with veneze
list banners and effigies of King Con-
-stantine.
Shouting, "Down with Constantine"
and eve want Crown Prince George, )"
the troops fired revolvers. and sang
the Venizelist hymn.
While these demonstrations were in
progress 10000 fugitives from Smyr-
ma suffering from fright, hunger and
exposure were too stunned to partici-
pate in the insurrection.
Amid the scene of disorder and ex-
citemept dramatic figure was A. X.
Jennings of New York of the Near
East relief, who is attempting single
handed to alleviate the suffering and
quiet the fears of the distracted fugi.
tives. On the initiative and enter
prise Of Mr.. Jennings steady stream
of boats is kept running between
Mitylene island and Smyrna, taking
off refugees from the island and sur
vivors Of the Smyrna fire.
At first the captains of Greek boats
refused to 60 to Smyrna, fearing they
would be seized by the Kemalists, but

T. Take Advantage of Bargains Of
fered-POstOffice Swamped.

In spite of the generally unfavor
able business conditions the Sank
Centre merchants enjoyed a very sat
Fisfacttory Holiday business. Severa'
of the proprietors stated to the Herald
that Saturdays turnover was the
heaviest ever handled by them. Many
strangers were attracted by the fine
bargains offered by the Sank Centre
merchants, and the Herald cannot
help but believe that the two 16-page
editions Of this paper which entirely
covered Sank Centres trading terri
tory the two weeks proceeding Christ
mas, was responsible in no small de
gree for this influx of business. Near
,ly ton of print paper was consumed
in the two weeks and the two issues
were handled with the splendid coop
Grafton of the regular Herald force.
Christmas business at the local
postoffice was also very heavy, both
incoming and outgoing. Thousands of
dollars of War Savings stamps were
Eliquidated through the postal depart
ment, and taken together with the
Christmas business the postal force
were completely swamped, and under
all conditions the service was very
satisfactory and Postmaster Schoen-
hoff and his assistants are to be COM
plimented in the manner they hand
led the unusual amount of aggravat-
ing labor.
