naturalized, in need of relief as the re-
suit of the re-occupation Of Smyrna

Admiral Bristol last week reported
that IA naturalized Americans from the
colony in Smyrna were missing but
has not mentioned this matter since
the department asked just how many
naturalized Americans were still unac-
counted for Officials are inclined to be-
lieye that the IA reported missing prob
ably left the city with relatives before
the Turkish forces entered.
The department also asked Admiral
Bristol as to the number Of native
Americans remaining in Smyrna. 1t
has been estimated that from so to go
American business men or missionaries
were in the city at the time of the
Turkish occupation and no definite ad
vices as to how many Of these left the
city or as to those who elected to re-

Theory.

Paris, Sept. IS. tBy the Associated
Press The report that the Turks
started the nre in Smyrna is doubted

was made in official quarters
''The idea that the burning of
Smyrna was caused by the Turks is
advanced by certain foreign news
papers. In well informed officials
circles. il is asserted that there is moth
ing which justifies this belief and. on
the contrary, such a possibility is con
sidered quite unlikely. II is only
natural to ask what interest the
victorious Turks would have in de-
stroying the city, the possession of
which they valued so highly and
which they had just retaken.
