CITY Of SMYRNA
SWEPT BY FLAME:
AS TURKS ARRIVE
British Gunboat Threatens
to lombard KemaIistS'
PopuIace FIees on Turk
Occupation of City

LONDON, Sept. 15.-The admiral
commanding the British squadron at
Smyrna has warned the Turkish au-
thorities in the city that if massa-
cres are continued the Turkish quar-
tiers will be bombarded, says an Elk
change Telegraph dispatch from
Athens.
The British cabinet has been sum-
moned for this afternoon in London
with the principal object of discuss
ing the Near Eastern tangle.
Prime Minister Lloyd George came
to London this morning from the
country for preliminary discussions
with his colleagues.
1t is believed the meeting will
have before it definite statements
from the French and italian govern
ments indicating their respective at
titudes toward the problem, the solu'
ton of which continues to be sub
ject of eager and anxious specula-
ton.
Opinions here are much divided
regarding the Turkish claims. One
view, which is strongly supported
by a section Of the press, is that
Great Britain's only interest lies in
the freedom of the Straits of Darda-
nelles, and that if this is insured she
need not worry over the future posi-
ton of Thrace and Constantinople.
Others are less easily satisfied
and regard as Of primary import
ance the restoration of Thrace and
Constantinople to their former own
ers, while a third faction is appar'
emily willing that they be restored,
but only on condition that Rumania
and Jugo-Slavia agree.
The London newspapers again to
day urge the necessity of an agree
ment among the allies.
A semi-official Greek message
from Athens says it is alleged the
Turks carried off all the girls from
the American Girls college, IN
Smyrna.
Officials Killed
An American destroyer which has
arrived at Piraeus, Greece, reports
that the Turks enetred the British
consulate at Smyrna and murdered
an official who was ASSEMBLING the
archives, says a Reuter- dispatch
from Athens toady. Postmaster VIII
kinson is also said to have been MUIR
dered as well as other EngEshmen.
Sir Harry Lamb. the consul general,
is believed to have escaped on war
ship.
According to the general convic-
ton, the fire was started by the
Turks to efface the traces Of their
nnassacres and other crimes.
Miss Mills, matron of the Amerl-
can Girls college, declares she saw
another officer or a non-commisslon-
ed officer of the Turkish regular
army enter a house carrying several
cans of petrol. Soon after he came
out the house burst into flames.
Fire appeared Immediately in
other sections of the town even near
the Turkish quarter of Basma
Khane. This was the first day after
the Turkish occupation.
"a southerly wind drove the
flames west, the Turkish quarter
thus escaping untouched.
Besides the pupils, about 1900
refugees had been taken into the
college, which was near the place
where the fire started. The fate Of
many of the girl pupils is unknown
and it is alleged they have been
carried off by the Turks.
