HH'tTISHnS itil story
 Constantinople, Sept lS,-- (By the Associated Press)-American arriv- ing today from smyrna gave graphic descriptions of scenes witnessed in that city during the great fire and at tendant disorders, One, resident of smyrna for ten years, said the Turk ish troops massacred hundreds of Christians, then deliberately fired the city to cover up their crimes.
 Some inhabitants, driven insane by the reign of terror. drowned them selves, A naturalized American citizen killed himself when the kcmalists seized his wife and sister, Other Americans were robbed,
 Jackies Saved Thousands
 Lieut., Commander John B. Rhodes, commander of the American destroyer Litchfeld with five bluepackets saved six British civilians from death after the British forces had evacuated. American sailors risked their lives to rescue thousands while the fire was in progress
 Chester Griswold, American mer- chant performed almost superhurAan work, sucooring terrorized Christians by his successful pleas with their would-be Turkish slayers,
 Night of Terror
 H C. Jaquith of New York who was in smyrna from the time of the inva- sion to the destruction of the city told the Associated Press correspond ent: Tt was a night of terror The whole populace rushed to the waters edge. Women cried to Heaven for help. Many plunged into the water preferring drowning to death by fire
 It was the most narrowing picture of misery and anguish l ever wit messed. The heat was so intense that no one in the fire zone could survive It was an appalling climax to week fraught with the horrors of war and massacre.
 Nuns Are Praised
 The French Catholic nuns deserve unstinted praise for their heroism. When the fire was at its worst they rushed into the hospitals and at the risk of their own lives carried out helpless patients.
 The American people should be proud of the valor and intrepidity of their sailors, who showed reckless un- concern for their own security, help ing women and children to escape.
 "Smyrna is Dead" Smyrna is dead. The survivors will also perish unless the American gov ernment comes to their rescue. It Is the solemn and imperative duty of Christianity to save the last remnant of their stricken brethren on the shores of this hallowed area, which is the birthplace of St. Peter and St. l Paul."

Point of Interest Changes.

London, Sept. IS. (By Associated Press)-The horror over the tragedy in Smyrna is losing some of its edge and public attention now is being drawn to the situation in Constan- tinople and the Dardanelles menaced by Musta pha Renal Pashas victori. ous army.
 While the Turks continue to con- centrate at Ismid, Great Britain is taking active steps to repe any in- vasion of the neutral territory along the straits and has called upon Jugo- Slavia and Rumania as we'll as her own dominions for aid
 France Favors Persuasion.
 France however, is understood to favor moral persuasion rather than force in maintaining the international character of the straits. Paris dis patches say official circles there be- lieve the present precipitant military and naval preparations ill-timed and provocative.
 Italy. too, is against relying entire ly on this form of defense, 1t Is de- clared. Foreign Minister Schanzer Is reported as being strongly opposed to intervention by JugoSlavia and the other members of the little entente, preferring that the allies deal directly with Turky.
 Must Observe Neutrality.
 Aside from general concurrence that the neutrality of the straits must be maintained, the opinion of the London press is much divided over the British governments policy.
 It is apparent that the govern ment's reference to employment of force has made a startling effect and even where 1t is not condemned the editorial writers express their views cautiously.

 Geneva, Sept. IS (By Associated Press)-The intervention of the league of nations to stop the war in Asia Minor and relieve the distress of refugees was proposed In the assem- ply of the league of nations today by | Dr. Fridti of Nansen high commis- sioner of the international commits sion for Russian relief
 League May Intervene. Dr. Nansen informed the assembly he had received a telegram from his delegate in Constantinople asking au- thority to use the relief organization | in helping refugees from Anatolio. He asked permission to offer a resolution to the effect that the council of the league authorize immediately the use of the relief organization for that purpose at the same time examining under what conditions it could in- tervene to end hostilities.
 The assembly received both pro- approval. It suspended the rules in order to refer both questions inn mediately to committees.
 The questions will come up for ac- tion tomorrow morning.
 Washington Interested. Washington, Sept. 1S.-Rear Ad- miral Bristol. American high commits sioner at Constantinople, was request ed today by the state department for specific information as to the number of Amer Aln citizens, native or natur- alized in need of relief as the result of the re-occupation of Smyrna by Turkish forces.
 Admiral Bristol last week reported that IA naturalized Americans were missing but has not mentioned this since, and the department asked just how many naturalized Americans were still unaccounted for. Officials are inclined to believe that the 14 reported missing probably 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. It has been estimated that from 50 to 60 American businessmen or mission aries were in the city at the time of the Turkish occupation and no def1n- ite advices as to how many of these left the city or as to those selected to remain have been received.
