CONGRESS- TOEND
 SECOND SESSION
 ABOUT SATURDAY
Tariff and Soldiers Bonus Measure Principal Matters to Come Up During
 Week
By Associated Press

Washington, September .17.--This week is expected to mark the close of the second session of the Sixty seventh Congress with adjournment in sine die about Saturday, and sooner if possible. Enactment of the tariff bill and final disposition of the sol- diers bonus bill are expected to fur nish the principal features of the closing week of legislation.
 Other clean-up measures on the calendar include the administration coal commission Legislation, Liberian loan question and the rivers and har- Bors development bill, another de- f:ciency appropriation budget. The anti-lynching bill is to be taken up by the Senate but probably will be left over in the face of determined opposition.
 The adjournment plans are depen- dent on final action being obtained on the tariff and the bonus bills. The former comes before the Senate again tomorrow facing possible return to conference which would de- lay the entire schedule of Congress. while President Harding's action on the bonus bill Is expected Tuesday with immediate efforts in prospect to repass the bill in the event of its veto.
 Virtually all of the members of Congress expect to go home for the election campaigns immediately upon of Congress.

SMYRNA, "THE EYE OF AsIA,v
 VAST sEPULCHRE OF ASHES

Smyrna, September 17.-Smyrna. which the Turks have called the Eye of Asia" is vast sepulchre of ashes. Only the shattered walls of 25,000 homes and the charred bodies of countless victims remain to tell tho story of death and destruction un- exampled In modern history. Tho ruins still are smoldering like a volcano which has spent it's fury.
 No efforts have been made by the Turks to remove the dead and dying. The streets are full of the bodies of those who sought to escape, for the most part women and children.
 Every building in the Armenian quarter has been burned, with the dead lying about. The bay. which covers an area of 50 acres, still carries on its surface the poor rem nants of those who were massacred or sought to escape the Euthlessness of the foe.
 On the waterfront crouch thousands of survivors who fear death in an- other form at the hands of soldiery; there are no boats to take them off.
 Save 4J0 Orphans
 One ship captain declined to take any of the wretched sufferers, but in contrast to his indifference, Captain Walters of the American steamer Winona rescued 1.S00 and took them to Piraues. American sailors of the destroyer ,Litchfield, snatched 450 or-

 Thirty-three BattaIfons Needed
 Turkish concentrations at Ismid continue, and the British are bring ing up troops, but it is hardly pos- sib1e to defend the neutral zone against the well trained Kemalist army.
 Allied military experts take the view that force of 33 battalions will be required to defend Constantinop1e and the straits The allied forces of occupation total about 20 battalions, mostly incomplete. but landing par ties from more than 60 warships can make up the deficit.
 Notifications of the allied govern ments decision to convene confer ence fore discussion of the Turkish situation has not yet been made, but 1t is believed that the Angora gov ernment will decline to participate In such conference unless the allies adhere to the viewpoint of that gov- ernment.

FORD HOPES TO REOPEN
 PLANTS IN SHORT TIME
By Associatsd frsss

Detroit. September 17.-officiais of the Ford Motor company are hopeful that the near future may bring de- velopments in the coal crisis that will permit resumption of operations by the huge industry. which closed down Saturday. Edsel B. Ford, presi- dent of the compzny, said tonight. The basis of this hope. however. Mir. Ford did not divulge.
 Nothing would be left undona, 1t was said, to find a way of obtaining at what was considered . fair price, sufficient fuel to reopen the plants. It was pointed out that the mere de- livery of a large quantity of coal would not warrant a reopening. but that a continuing supply. at satis- factory prices. was necessary, owing to the magnitude of the industry and the necessity of co-ordinating the work of all departments on sched- ule not susceptible to interruption
