The Alexandria Young Mems
Christian Association viii build its
new home lust west Of the high school
on a three acre plot Of ground 2ur,
chased from the Alexandra Land ana
Mortgage Company. This announce
ment was made this morning by the
president of the Y. NJ c. A, c. {. La
mond. and chairman of the building
Site committee, John G. Graham.
The site is considered one Of the
most beautiful in Alexandria and Is
the choice of practically unanimous
board of directors, only one dissent
ing vote having been registered
against it when final action was taken
by the governing body of the n.y.
The historical pageant recently gwen
by the playground association was
presented on this lot and it then re-
ceived a great deal Of favorable COM
ment.
The Building Site Committee, con-
sisting Of John G.. Graham, chairman,
Carroll Pierce and +. A. Feldtkeller,
was appointed at the June meeting
of the board of directors and the men
have been "on the job ever since
trying to select the best place to To-
cate the beautiful home Of the Asso-
citation in Alexandria. The committee
reported TO the board of directors
that it had literally examined dozens
of sites, finding many far too small
that otherwise might have been ac-
ceptable, while others sufficiently
spacious were far too expensive.
1t was felt by the entire board
that the building should be located
on a lot sufficiently large to allow
future growth of the building, if that
should be necessary, and also to per,
nit the building of tennis, volley ball
and hand ball courts out of doors. 1t
was thought also that an outdoor
swimming pool might be added to the
equipment If the necessity arose.
Mr.. Graham is enthusiastic over
the selection and said this morning
that perhaps the most ideal location
in all OF, the city had been made. The
property joins the school lot on the
east where the magnificent AleXan-
dria High School and splendid grade
school are located. To the west is the
memorial being constructed to the
memory of George Washington, the
Mason. with the union station, only a
short distance away, and in plain
view.
The Building Bureau, of the Inter
national Committee of the \. NJ. c.
A., of New York, sent +. y. MacCol-
lin. one Of their leading architects,
to inspect the. lot and he too was en-
thusiastic over it's location and beauty
Mr.. MacCollin said that the build
ing would probably be located I'M
mediatelv in front of Harvard street
and ventured the remark that it
would make an imposing structure
and compare favorably with its sur
roundingS.
Mr.. MacCollin carried back to New
York with him a schedule of require
mentS for the local building and the
building bureau is now at work on a
set of plans that will as far rs pos
sible embrace those expectations. He
stated that the local building pre-
scented some problems as it is to ac-
commodate both men and women, but
he assured those in charge that they
would all be satisfactorily overcome
and that Alexandria could expect
most satisfactory plant.

Consider Demands

Paris, Sept. 23.-The question Of
the return of the Turks to Europe
was before allied diplomats today.
The British and French cabinets met
to consider the return Of CONSTANT
nopIe-the Holy City Of the Turks
to the victorious forces Of Mustapha
Kemal, leader of the nationaliSts.
Premier Poincare. of France. held
out for the return of the city to the
Turks. His proposal also included the
return to Turkey Of Eastern Thracc
and the Decentralization of the
straits Of the Dardanelles.
The proposal for the return of East
ern Thrace and Cnnstantinople was
tentatively agreed upon by Premier
Poincare and Lord Curzon, British
foreign minister yesterday.
Before making it definite, the cabi-
nets of Britain and France must be
consulted.
French newspapers today MADE the
flat statement that France, Britain
and Italy have agreed upon the return
of Constantinople to the Turks.
According to lie Journal, Poincare,
Curzon and Sforza, Of Italy, have de-
cided that Constantinople, Adrianople
and a portion of Thrace should be
coded to the Turks.
In spite of this development which
led many to believe that the Near East
crisis which threatens to result in war
between England and France could be
averted, war clouds hung low.
The threat of Holy war which was
received here from India was the prin-
cipal source of new worry for the al
lied diplomats.
The central committee of the Mos
lens in India, in q cable TO Ferid Bay,
Turkish Nationalist representative
here, stated that all the adherents OF
Turkish religionists would rise up in
case England starts war with the Ke-
malists.

Story
Woman of terrifying Eyes" Said to

FERDINAND CLINTON KNIGHT


New Brunswick. \. j., Sept. %
Search for woman with terrifying
eyes" suspected of the murder of the
Rev. Edward Hall and Mrs. Elinor
Mills, wife of his sexton, was started
today by police and county detectives.
The description Of this suspect was
furnished by Charlotte Mills, daugh-
ter of the slain woman. She told in
reviewers that the person whom she
believes did the killing has "terrify-
ing eyes" the stature and strength
of man, and a very jealous nature.
According to the theory Of Char
lotte. this Jealous woman wrongly
suspected her mother and the clergy
man of intimacies. In the girls be-
lief. she followed the pair when they
were on an innocent stroll in the
woods near the abandoned Phillips
Farm last week, then sprang out and
confronted them. Charlotte thinks
she must have been ACCOMPANIED by
\ man who assisted her in the killing
which followed. Charlotte, who is Is,
Is believed 20 have given the police
the name of the woman she SUSPECTS
The police have been informed that
there were three women jealous of
Hall. Frank Bar. .Aardt of Paterson,
n. J.. a brother-in-law of Mrs. Mills,
told authorities he knew Of three
such women. Their names were given
and detectives will question them.
Authorities today planned to eX-
hume the bodies of Hall and Mrs.
Mills in an effort to determine the
number Of times each was shot It
has developed probers state that the
bodies were examined only in cur
sery manner before the burial.
The coroner's report stated that
each had been shot but once. EXami-
nation of witnesses who had seen the
bodies led authorities to believe stor-
les that more than two shots were
fired into the bodies.
Significance is attached to the
statements of some who viewed the
bodies that Mrs. Mills ankle was
broken. This would leed to the conclu-
sion. il was stated. that a terrific
struggle preceded the double murder

Crane Talks

New York, Sept. 23.-"The Turks
will not stop until they have gained
Constantinople and eastern Thrace,"
said Charles B. Crane, one Of the best
informed American authorities on the
near east, when interviewed by the
United Press here today
Crane was a member Of the com
mittee on mandates which made thor
ough investigation of the Near East
situation in the summer OF 1919, and
reported through President Wilson to
the peace conference.
THE Greeks have only themselves
to blame for the disaster that has be-
fallen them" Crane said. "In the
summer of 1919 the Turks, worn out
by three wars, were ready 70 accept
any kind of reasonable terms. They
proposed an American mandate over
the whole empire and would have glad
ly gone back to the labors Of peace. In
the face Of that situation, and in vio-
lation of the terms of the armistice,
a Greek feet was sent TO Smyrna.
That city was then peaceful and
under the successful control of dozen
British officers. The Greeks signal
lied their arrival by shooting up the
whole water front and killing many
surprised and defenseiess Turks.
"The Turks are ~ariike people,
and despite their exhausted condition
could not submit to such treatment.
This and other incidents consolidated
the w>3Ic Turkish nation and as re-
suit of later incidents the whole mos
lem world has been consolidated under
the formula:
"'There shall be no more retrencn-
ment of independent Moslem territory
"rhe conduct o fthe British and
French in Asia minor and Syria since
the Armistice has tended steadily to
consolidate the Moslem world.
western Asia is tired Of being
dominated by the Europeans, who have
made such a muddle Of their own
affairs during the last decade.
so it is my firm belief that the
Turks viii not turn back until they
have reclaimed Constantinople and
Eastern Thrace. There may be tenn
porary delay but in time it is newt
able"
Crane has Travelled extensively
through Asia minor and the Balkans
on numerous occasions. He has en-
gagged in many relief movements ana
has studied tire peoples Of that par.
Of the world for years.
