TRAIN SCHEDULE IS
LIKELY TO CHANGE

The Southern Pacific company has
filed with the public service commits
sion of Nevada an application for
permission to change the time sched-
ule of train No. "a, which leaves
Reno at present at sis in the eve
ming and arrives at Nina at 2:30 in
the morning. Under the proposed
schedule the train leaving San Fran
cisco would depart at 1920 in the
morning and the sleepers would be
open at 9 IN the evening. The train
would arrive in Reno az 4:30 in the
afternoon, where a rest Of two hours
would occur, the train for the south
departing at $50 in the evening.
The arrival at Nina would be at l
in the morning, where stop of an
hour and a half would be made. The
departure would be made at 2;3O
instead of 2:40, as a. present, which
would probably bring No. "a into

SITUATION IN
SYRIA Studied
BY BRIIISHER
Member Parliament Trying to
Bring Reconciliation OF
British and French

BEIRUT Syria, Sept l.-Maj. Gen.
Charles Y. F. Townshend, who com
manded the British forces which sur
rendered to the Turks at Kutel
Amara in the campaign for Bagdad,
is at present here as the personal
guest of General Gouraud, the French
high commissioner to Syria.
General Townshend, after the war,
returned to England from Turkey and
was elected to parliameut where he
has appeared as a critic Of the policy
OF the British government in the near
east. Special Dispatch from London
in May said the government had
refused him a passport to visit Tur-
key, fearin CHE purposed to deliver
pro-Turksh speeches He was be.
.ieved strongly to favor the Turkish
side OF the argument with Greece.
1t is believed in Beirut that Cen
eral Townshend came TO Syria II
an effort to bring about a reconcile
alton Of the British and French poll
cles in Palestine and Syria He has
been quoted In a local newspaper
as follows
The Turkish nationalist movement
which had led to Mustapha Kennel
Pasha gaining all the real power in
Turkey would never have assumed
its present attitude of hostility to
the allies had not the treaty of
Sevres proposed to dismember the
Turkish empire"
He believes that the Greco-Turkish
war must be stopped, and that the
Greeks should renounce their claims
to any part of Asa Minor and agree
to the Turks retaining the thnolog-
iCally Turkish parts of Thrace, in
cluding the Moslem holy city of Adri-
anople. He suggests the Martha
river as the logical boundary in
Thrace
Cutting off all Turkeys Arab
provinces, asserts General Townshend,
is quite sufficient punishment for
her having fought on the side of Ger
mani To leave Smyrna in the hands
of the Greeks IS to create an Oriental
Alsace Lorraine that must inevitably
provoke another war"
The defender of Kut-el-Amara ex.
poets to spend about a month in
Syria. He W visit Cilicia and
there arrange FOR a conference with
Mustapha Kemal Pasha.

organization Of tossers that has been
assembled in Tonopah in years, was
not I'D to expectations and the man.
agement of the team was a losing
proposition, hence the decision to
abandon the team for the lest OF the
