Ford Gets Aid Seeking

will be discussed by members of the
fuel committee of the Detroit Board
of Commerce Tuesday
Mr.. Ford said he could not discuss
the plan offered by the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States with
out giving it careful study, but indi-
Gated that it would be considered by
his advisers. The plan calls for day
to-day cooperative distribution of
coal. This and the stabilization of
prices are in line with the position
taken by Henry Ford, and it is be-
ieved he will look at it with favor.

CONSTANTINOpLE, Sept. IS (By
The Associated Press ALI the Amori-
cans who have returned to CONSTANT
nople from Smyrna depict the situation
as one of uncomfortable horror. Nearly
100000 distracted and covering refu-
gees remain in the city and environs,
imploring To be saved. Their cries
remain unanswered because there are
no ships to rescue them.
The American destroyers Edsall,
Lawrence and Simpson are lying in the
harbor, but their commanders must
turn deaf ear TO the agonizing cries
from shore, for tEer crews arc needed
on land to keep the situation from de-
generating into an orgy of madness
and revolution.
Thousands of Christians are being
taken into the interior by the Kemal-
lists. According to eyewitnesses, sui
eide by drowning has become COM
monplace. Crazed mothers entreat the
American bluei jackets to take their ba-
bies, so they may be free to drown
themselves.
Mingled among the inanimatc masses
Of PROSTATE humanity on the quay are
hundreds of dead horses, sheep and
mules which fed, maddened from the
fire, only to perish at the waters edge.
The bodies of hundreds of Chris
tians, who were slaughtered or who
found death at their own hands on
the night of the fire, have come to the
surface of the harbor, giving the des-
olate city more CHASTITY aspect.

u. s. to Send No More
WMrships to Near East
Ships No'o Under Command Of
admiral Bristol Considered
adequate i'm The EMERGENCY

From The Iribane's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON. Sept. 1s.-No addi-
tional American naval vessels have
been requested by Admiral Mark Bris-
tol, in charge of the feet in Turkish
waters, because Of the attitude of the
lurklsh NahonalIsts in threatening to
invade the neutral zone. it was learned
to-day at the Navy Department. The
feeling In naval circles here is that
Admiral Brstops fleet of seven de-
stroyers which are now in Mediterra-
mean waters, and the Utah. which ia
on the coast of Spain, will be adeuuate
to AFFORD protection to American citi
zens and American property. The task
OF the American feet, it was said. was
to be of assistance to Americans in
'volved, and no political or military
position must be taken by the United
States ships.
Admiral Bristol, in the difficult most
he has been filing for the last YEAR as
American High Commissioner at Con
stantinople and as commander of the
heet in Mediterranean waters, was de-
ciared both at the State Department
and the Navy Department to have the
utmost confidence Of the Administra-
tlon Whatever steps he NAV find
necessary to take will be supported bv
the government, it was indicated.
=, Absence of definite information as To
the number OF native and naturalized
Americans who are in need of relief
prompted the State Department to
Gable Admiral Bristol for detailed in
formation of the plight of these citi-
zens. He was asked to report as fully
as possible on the safety of the four
teen Americaps who previously were
as missing from the American
colony In Smyrna. Information aIse
New-York tribune., 1922-09-19

was sought on the extent OF American
property losses in the stricken city
and data on tho number Of Americans
who still remain in Smyrna.
Previous reports from Admiral Bris-
tol, and also reports from the Ameri-
cen Legation at Athens and consular
officials at Salonica, have left doubt as
to the exact number or Americans
evacuated from Smyrna and as to the
amount Of relief necessary to care for
their wants.
No reply has yet been received from
Admiral Bristol or from the American
embassies at London and Paris on the
request for definite plan for joint
relief work among the refugees in the
Near East. 1t is assumed here that
the subject is being considered and
that full information will be sent later
by Admiral Bristol.
Major Sherman Miles, son Of Lieu
tenant General Nelson A. Miles, was
ass . ed to-day by the War Depart
ment to join Admiral Bristol's staff
at Constantnople as military attache
In this capacity he will serve as an
observer and viii report to the Amer-
can government. Major Miles was in
structed to proceed without unneces-
sary delay to Constantnople.

COPYRIGHT, io2s. New York Tribune Inc.
PARIS, Sept. 1S.--Premier Poincare
today ordered three French battalions
stationed at Chanak, on the Asiatic
coast of the Davdanelles, to retire i'm
mediately TO tne European side of the
Straits.
General Pelle, the French High
Commissioner at Constantinople. ar
rived at Smyrna to negotiate with
kemal Pasha, which will have the effect
of putting Poincsre in direct communi-
cation with the Turkish leader.
Receiving representatives Of the
French press tonight, the Premier de-
clared that Lord Hardinge, the British
Ambassador, would call tomorrow with
note from Premier Lloyd George con-
cerning the defense of the Dardanclles
The French government believes
more than ever there is the greatest
danger in the policy of provoking the
Turks. poincare has received direct
knowledge from. Kemal that the Turks
will not cross the Strait, but will oc-
cupy all the Asiatic coast. News re-
celved at the Quai d'Orsay from all
points indicates that nobody except
England is willing to begin new war
against the Turks for the purpose of
keeping Constantinople for the Allies.
Assured of Italian Support
Count Sforza, the Italian Ambassa-
dor, called on Poincare and declared
that Italy has the same viewpoint as
France and will not send single man
or ship to the Near East. Rumania
and Jugo- Slavia made the same declara-
tions. Everybody is on Frances side,
but they all want the neutrality of the
Straits.
Poincarc to-day offered to the Allied
powers the services of French negotia-
tion with Kemal, but if the London note
contains such violent statements as
were contained in a Reuter- dispatch
concerning it there will be difficulty in
handling the Turks, who are vastly en-
couraged by their success.
Premier Poincare is confident Mus
tapha Kemal will accept the French
negotiation of reasonable terms, leav-
ing the control of the straits in Allied
hands in return for Constantinople
and Thrace. Official circles believe
that if force is threatened, as Eng
land is now advocating, Kemal is GER
tain to advance and declare war, as
otherwise he would be humiliated by
the Turks and accused of cowardice.
Townshend Opposed to War
Poincare fully appreciates the dan
ger in the Near East and realizes that
if the Turk returns to Europe against
the powers will there surely will be

Edward NJ. Fisher, of Reading. Pa
director of the Y M. G. A. at Smyrna,
who was robbed and narrowly escaped
death at the hands of Turkish irregu-
lars, gave vivid picture Of the fire
and the terrible incidents which fol-
lowed.
"Ihe scene resembed Bulwar
Lytton's Last Days OF Pompeii,'" said
Mr.. Fisher. "Thc fire started Tuesday
afternoon and within ten hours had
spread nearly two miles, The lamenta-
tions Of the women and the piercing
cries of the children are still ringing
in my ears. it seemed as IL reason
had fled and the fire and sword Of the
Turk had triumrhed.
"In an incredibly short time the quay
was a seething mass Of Mortified hu-
manty. The Christian population had
already lived through a nightmare OF
intimidation and slaughter by the
Turks; it needed only the fire to com
pete their frenzy. Mobs of them sur
rounded the American sailors doing
patrol duty and begged in the name of
the Saviour and America that they be
saved, but our bluej jackets were help
less.
"The heat Of the spreading flames
was uncomfortable. The refugees dipped
blankets into the water of the bay and
others fed up side streets, goaded by
the overpowering heat, only to find
Turkish soldiers with machine guns
ready to slay them. The harness OF
horses took fire, and the infuriated
animals dashed among the dense
crowds on the pier, trnmpling many to

and promptly, without delay. The Oar
daneiles must be kept open. Turkish
forces from Asia Minor must not be al
lowed to concentrate in Constantinople.
II had hoped the British Empire
would have recovered from the last war
before being called upon to participate
in another. We don't want war, but
duty comes first. The empire must be
preserved, and whatever happens or
