Answer Expected by End Of
9 This Week; Belive kemal
Will Accept Plan
ALLIED PROPOSAL NOT
WELCOMED BY GREEKS
Greek National Assembly ha.
Been Called to Consider
Allied Intervention /
(By United Press)

Paris, Sept. 25-The reply of Mus
tapha sKemal to the allied Near East
proposal, which means peace or war,
was awaited today. There was a. dis
tinct feeling of, optimism that Renal,
leader of the Turkish nation alists,
may answer the allied plan which al
lows the Turks ocome back into
Europe, giving them their capitol,
Constantinople, and returning east
ern Thrace. =
There was hope that an answer to
the allied proposal, which was to in
vite Renal to attend the Near East
peace conference, presumably to be
held in October. would be received
by the end o fthe week. Franklyn
Boullon, Frances Near East expert,
has left Paris to confer with Renal.
It was reported that KemaPs object
ions to the peace parley was that Bull
garia and Russia were not included in
the call. Boullon is said to have the
confidence of the Turkish leader and
may be able to pursuade Renal to
answer terms, which, it is pointed
out, include almost the entire list
of demands on the allies by Renal.
Il Word which seeped thru here from
Near East, said that Kemal was hav-
ing a hard time to hold his forces
in check. Some credencee was
placed in this by diplomats here.
II think the peace conference will
be held: within a4smonth, I" said the
Serbian minister, "but can the KEN
alist troops be detained that long?"
The minister denied that Jugo-
Slavia was mobilizing. "Serbia," he
said, sis satisfied with the allied terms
but wishes some guarantee. "Since
I am officially informed the Turks are
sending armies into Bulgaria"
AS viewed by stateman here, the
only two bitches to arbitration plans
for restoration Of peace in the Near
East ares

al against the British in the Chanak

BEGINNERS BAND WILL
: Be FORMED WEDNESDAY
One Hundred Boys Wanted to
Join New Band Planned by
Bandmaster Riggs

. All boys between 10 and IL yers
Of age, who desire to enter actively
into band work and who are not al
ready members Of the Bemidji Boys
band are requested to meet at the
City hall Wednesday evening at 1880
when a Beginners, band will be or
ganized by Bnadlnaster G. O. Riggs
if sufficient interest is shown and at
least so boys show their intention Of
wanting to enter into this work in
earnest. Bandmaster Riggs desires
100 boys for this organization and
states that at least 50 will be requir-
ed if such d band is to be formed.
Before the band is permanently orr
ganized a meeting Of the parents Of
these boys will be held in order to
carry to them the necessity Of the
boys taking up the work in earnest.
Cooperation Of the parents is needed
for this so that the boys may have
ample home practice as well as the
regular rehearsals. = a
The formation Of this band will
afford the youngsters of the city who
are unsteady inclined an excellent
opportunity to take up band work
under able leadership. However, only
those boys who 90 into the oEganis
zation with the desire to improve
their musical talents will be accepted
it is understood. vi Z
Two years ago similar band was
organized by Mr.. Riggs and those
boys who worked earnestly and inn
proved themselves sufficiently were
promoted into the regular Boys
band. The same ultimate plan is
now being followed and those boys
who join the new band and make the
necessary progress will ultimately be
promoted into the regular band. In
this way, Bemidji is practically as
sured of having an even larger boys
band than that which made such a
decided hot at the state fair this fall.

Improved Traffic Conditions

Of the railroad strike, no change for
the better is noted in so far as car

Mills in the south especially are
badly handicapped, many of them re-
porting that they are not receiving
more than Is percent of their re-
quirements in cars, while. those most
favorably situated are receiving not
more than 40 to so percent. As a
result Of this condition and of embar-
goes many operations have closed
down or have reduced their output
and many of the manufacturers are
declining to book orders except for
material that can be billed to points
where there are no embargoes. Be-
cause Of this buyers are finding ex-
treme difficulty in placing their re-
quirements for material on which inn
mediate shipment is necessary.
Z The situation is somewhat better
on the west coast where 40 to 40
percent of the output Of the mills re-
porting to the west coast association

towns all report a very active move

at a very satisfactory rate. -
Demand for lumber from the agri-
cultural sections is, increasing mat
erially while Industrial and railroad
demand also is showing gratifying &C
