LEAGUE IMPOTENT
CONFRONTED BY WAR
Belief Assembly Can Only AR
IDENTIFY Desire That Some
thing Be Done. :

GENEVA, Sept. Is associate Press) -
Intervention by the League of Nations
to stop the war between tho Turks ana
Greeks and to aid in succoring of the
refugees from Anatolia and the victims
Of the Smyrna flre was proposed to-day
by DR.. Fridtjof Nansen, high commits
sioner of the international Commission
for Russia Relief. Members OF the coun-
ell of the league and the leading dele
gates said 1t would be Impossible for
the council to intervene unless their
Governments were agreed In advance
that this would be the best procedure TO
bring about peace. The general opinion
to-night is that the assembly can only
pass resolution expressing an ardent
desire that something be done.
Some OF the delegates to the assembly
have received information from repre-
sentatives of the Angora Government at
Constantinople that Kemal Pasha would
be glad to have the protection OF the
minorities in Turkey and control OF the
neutral zone confided TO the lea que. This
was the only indication received IN
league circles to-day regarding the Turk
ish attitude toward intervention by the
league.
A special alScommittee to which Dr. Nan
sens resolution was referred met and 1t
was understood its report will recon-
mend that the resolution be put on the
agenda Of the assembly. Then 1t would
necessarily be referred to committee
for examina ton and report. so that two
or three days would pass before the as
sembly could act upon II.
The committee on welfare work is
unanimously In favor OF the league doing
something for the refugees, but 1t took
no action other than to appoint MEM
ber 10 draft a report to the assern bly,.
The report will contemplate the use
of the leagues relief organization In
the Near East for this purpose.
. Sir Robert Cecil introduced resolu-
ton asking that II be understood that
in any treaty OF peace that might snd
the hcstilities In the Near East an
essential condition should be laid down
that O. home be provided for the Ar
rlenians. This resolution also was re-
ferred to a committee.
Hungary was elected a member of the
League OF Nations by the assembly. The
vote was unanimous.

quarter of mean little Turkish houses on
a hill. toward which the wind has not

tion Of the panic stricken, starving,

scribed AS getting worse. Imagination

us to burn alive or to be assaulted and
murdered by the Turks"
