Three times in the first half the
Chickasha lads carried the ball into

they lacked the necessary punch to

In an endeavor to knot the score,
Chickasha launched an aerial at-

was of no avail, however as the
ends and backfield men were unable

quarter and inability to connect
with almost perfect forward passes
cost the homelings victory.
The Woodymen lacked stamina

On Verne of Conflict.

Constantinople, Sept. 30-With
british and Turks on the verge of
war in the neutral zone, General
Harrington, British commander in
chief. dispatched a new demand to
Mustapha Kemal today that he evac-
uate the Chanak area.
1t was understood that no time
limit has been set.
The dispatch of the fresh ulti-
matum followed the receipt of an
ultimatum from Kemal in which he
demanded that the British eyacuate
the Asatic side of the Straits.
Kemal's note was considered de-
cidedly hostile.
One high British official stated
that the note had closed the door
to peace.
The allies are also in receipt of
Kemals acceptance of the invitation
to meet in a preliminary peace par
ley at Mudania. This note was hos
tile, in tone. and also demanded
that both Eastern and Western
Thrace be evacuated at once, and
turned over to the Turks.
In making this demand Kemal
aggravates to a greater degree the
already tense situation. In the
allies peace proposal dispatched a
week ago, Kemal was promised
Eastern Thrace as far as the Marit-
"a river Thus Kemal not only
wants the portion promised but de-
mands the western section also.
The fact that this is the last day
for the evacuation of 100000 Chris
tians in Asia Minor added to the
gravity of the situation.
Officials were fearful lest dis
orders break out in connection with
the evacuation and that harm would
befall those who are not able to
leave Asia Minor at once in keeping
with the demand of Kemal who
stated he would not be responsible
for the welfare of Christians who
remained after today.
Although the Turkish Nationalist
leader has been asked for an ex
tension of time, no word was forth
coming. 1t was pointed out that il
would be an impossible feat to evac
uate all the Christians in the short
time allotted by Kemal.
Only one ray of hope was seer
in the otherwise gloomy situation
If was hoped that Franklin Bouillor
French envoy who is now in con
ference with Kemal, would induce
him to withdraw from the zone.

Heart rending scenes were wit
messed as the flames roared through
the five story apartment, which
housed "a families. The building
stood on 109th street. near Broad
way. The alarm was turned In by
policeman. fire quickly cut all
exits. The steel fire escapes be
came red hot Flames and smoke
poured from all windows, and above
the roar of the blaze and the clan
gor of apparatus rose the shrieks
of the frenzied tenants, who crowd
ca every window, their forms sill
houtted against the fire behind
them, as the crowd watched mid
die aged woman, clad in her night
gown, hurl herself from window
to the street. A moment later
baby hit the sidewalk beside her.
Its mother had thrown 1t, to save
1t from worse fate in the flames.
Policemen and firemen swarmed
up the extension ladders, and risked
their lives again and again to bring
down the people to safety, while
the dense crowd massed below,
watched the real life drama, cheered
the rescuers.
One man, driven from his apart
ment by the scorching heat, crouch
ed on the fire escape and there died
as the fire burst through the win
dow. His huddled form was still on
the fire escape at dawn.
A boy was seen standing on a
window SILL with the glare getting
brighter and brighter behind him.
He waited as long as he could then,
as a groan swept the crowd, he
plunged down from the fifth story
and was instantly killed.
Firemen put ladders against the
building with the aid of a water
screen and in this manner managed
to carry down many who otherwise
would have perished. The night
clothes of those carried to safety
were smouldering and seven were
found to be so terribly burned it is
feared they cannot survive.
Three of the firemen, who en-
gagged in the rescue work succumb-
ed to the heat and were taken to
hospitals with bistered hands and
faces.
There were pltiful episodes Wnen
those who had been saved began
hunting their loved ones. crying
their names again and again and
searching frenziedly through the
crowds, not knowing whether their
people had been saved, or whether
they were still in the building which
had become fiery tomb
Ambulances from five hospitals
were called to carry the injured
and police reserves from three sta
tions held back the throngs Sur
geons and nurses established tenn
porary first aid stations on the side
walk, where the injuries of the vic
time were cared for as rapidly as
they were borne to safety.
