TURKS WILL HAVE TO ACT QUICKLY
 70 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TERMS OF
 ALLIES, THEY ARE 70 BE ADVISED
Rift in War Clouds Seen as Tuesdays Armistice Meeting Draws ar-Turkish Irreguars Gross Into Thrace but are Repused- -Kemal Recruit. ing Soldiers

London, Oct. 2, (By Associated Press) The utmost significance con- tinues to be attached here to tho visit of ex-Premier Vehicles os Greece
 It is declared that up to the pres- ent he has been unable to obtain any alteration in the promise given by the British, jointly with the other allies in their note to Mustapha Kem- al that they would favor the return of Thrace as far as Adrianople to tho Turks. There seems to be some Qtial- tion, however. if this promise will continue indefinitely to hold good.
 Must Act Quickly.
 While there is no time limit set to the terms of the allied note to Kemal giving the promise regarding Thrace as basis for the proposed confer- ence it is known that the Kemalis1s are being urged to hasten acceptante of the terms of that note lest 1t bo withdrawn.
 Terms of Allies.
 The Turkish nationalists 1t is under- stood here are to be told tomorrow at Mudania that If they wrangle too long over the subject of Thrace. t may become impossible for the allies to force the Greek revolutionists to abandon Thrace; also that If the Kemalists make too many representa- tions regarding the Greek atrocities in Thrace they may be reminded that the Greeks are charging that similar alleged atrocities are being committed at the present time in the Smyrna district.
 Personnel Is Good One. -
 What is considered | favorable factor in the Mudania conference lies in the personnel of that conference. at least so far as Gen. Harrington and Ismet Pasha the nationalist rep resentative are concerned. Gen. Har- rington is known to be doing his ut most to prevent further delays and difficulties while Ismet is regarded As one of the most level-headed support CTS of Mustapha Kemal. The Turk ish representative Is trained soldieF who fought through the EuroHeaA war with distinction as division a4d corps commander. on the Russian And Syrian fronts, His manner is mot pleasing one and he speaks excellent French. Furthermore he is dt1ih- clined to unnecessary blcodshed.
 Opposed to Fighting.
 Ismet Pasha has long had plan for taking Constantinople which he regards as comparatively, easy nili- tary task. But he has said: %
 We will get 1t without fighting sA what is the use? We can walt"
 Unless Ismet has definite orders to the contrary regarding .Thrace 1t ia regarded here as an easy task to. se- cure his consent to any reasonable ar pending the peace confer ence. '..t E..
 It is understood he will ask that French troops be allowed to occupy and police and minister Thrace as far as the Maritza. Y s5
 One of the reasons given for Mus tapha Kemal himself not attending the conference Is that he is in fear of assassination or imprisonment.

Two Year Old Chinese Duke
18th C0mfuciam Descendant

HE is smoking now-you must
watt"
We acquiesced. standing back from
the private palace doorway of Duke
K'ung Te-cheng, 2 years old and heir,
as seventy-seventh descendant of
China's greatest sage and teacher, Con
fucius. We sought an interview with
the two uncles who care for the child,
who, one day. as heir to the estates
and titles of Confucius. will be the
leading citizen in that part Of Shan
tung. where the greatest relics of the
sage may yet be seen.
The speaker was a Chinese Christian
missionary, who, while not permitted
to talk of his religion within the palace
itself, was nevertheless on friendly
terms with those who lived in the Con-
fucius palace. He interpreted for Mr..
K'ung Ling hsu, younger uncle of the
boy heir, and he referred to K'ung
Iing-yu, chief guardian of the young
duke. He told us we might not see
the child for a few moments, because
the older uncle, the guardian and act
ing head of the precinct. was lost in
dreams which were born of opium.
A Yearly Pilgrimage
Like thousands of Chinese pilgrims
who each year journey in trains and on
horseback, in Picking cart and in Shan
lungs typical wheelbarrow. to the
spots made sacred by the fact that
Confucius one day walked there. we
visiting westerners had come from the
capital of China into the Confucius
country.
From a room across the courtyard
We heard attendants talking in low
voices. There, it was explained. at
least one member of the family of di-
rect descendants spent his time in
smoking the pipe which has come to
be identified with China. We waited
while arrangements were made for us
to enter another room, there to meet
the boy duke. to hear more from the
younger uncle Of the present day activi-
ties Of the Confucius heirs and to be
the first foreigners ever to be received
within the private palace compound
of the K'ungs.
After a wait of twenty minutes. a
door of the room was raised
and a man, carrying a chubby-faced
Chinese boy, came out. Here, we were
told, as we shook hands with a 2-year-
old infant, was Duke kung, to whom
the people of Shantung look for some
leadership 20 years from today. He
was dressed in a plain little black
Chinese suit, the only distinguishing
about him being q pearl which his
had placed in the center of his !
attractive little black tight filling CAPT.

blazing star years ago, appalling the
savages. who were dazzled by its fierce
light and shaken by the trembling Of
the earth. If the theory of the scientists
is correct. the great mass ~plunging it
self into the earth forced up the edges
of the crater just as embossings appear
when a pebble is dropped into soft mud.
Strata of rock were displaced and
clouds Of steaming dust and sand were
sent into the air. only to fall back as
a grave covering for the great body.
A shaft more than 200 feet deep
has been sunk into the center of the
crater by q mining company that de-
cided that profitable operations might
be conducted if the main body of the
meteorite could be reached. They push
ed their work all the harder when it
was discovered that iron fragments con-
tanned diamonds. There is still a vast
amount of research work to be done at
Canyon Diablo, and until it is finished
none can say what cosmic secrets are
hidden in that great dish.
Small Stone Is Only Remnant
New York state was the target for
a meteorite just about the time the
Civil war was brewing. The only por-
ton of this heavenly visitor ever found
is a stone that weighs four ounces.
though the parent body undoubtedly
weighed a great many tons before It
was consumed by fire or shattered bv
an explosion. This meteorite is known
10 scientists as bethlehem" The story
of its encounter with the earth is pre-.
served in one old account. as follows:
While standing in the inclosure ad.
joining his house a farmers attention
and that of his family was attracted
by a loud sound overhead, which
what resembled thunder: and a few
minutes after a stone struck the south
east side of a wagon house and bound
ing off rolled into the grass. A dog
lying in the doorway started up and
ran to the place where the stone fell.
When picked up Immediately after. it
was found to be quite warm and pos
sessed considerable s%ulphurous odor.
The fragment in question was small.
about the size of a pigeons egg. and
shaped. Nearly three
fourths of its superficies were covered
with a black. nonlustrous. evidently
fust crust, while the remainder pre-
scented the appearance of a fresh frac-
ture, and was of a light gray color, and
of a granular or semi-crystalline tex
ture. It's composition was apparently
sileceous and not metallic."-Boyden

every opportunity to be what the peo-
pie of this section would have him be
a leader for New China as his revered
ancestor was a leader for the old, in
$50 B. c."
Property Badly Handled
Then we talked of the present state
Of affairs in the K'ung family. The
uncle explained to us that the older
uncle. who devoted the greater part of
his time to the smoking of opium, was
responsible for the lack of funds for
the proper upkeep of the Confucius
estate in Chofu. While the holder Of
many tracts of land given by various
emperors of China. the older uncle re-
fuses to interest himself in the upkeep
of the property. and it is almost i'm

ment sets aside each year for upkeep.
What he said was borne out by subse-
quent interviews with leading Chinese
in Chofu. He called attention to the
fact that the young duke was immense

reaching far into the tens of thousands
of dollars. But all such properties. he
further explained. were held by the
older uncle whose interest in the opium
pipe crowded out all interest in the

property.

Those craters on the moon revealed

astronomers who own them may have
been made by meteorites splashing in
to the surface of our relatively near
planetary %neighbor. although there are
other theories to account for these
broken, bubble-like markings. But this
much scientists can tell us: the rea-
son the earth is not pitted with mil
lions and millions of projectiles from
the outermost ends of space is that
cushion of air that envelops it.
Atmosphere Saves Us
Some three hundred miles ahead of
the earth as she spins along on her
orbit, meteorites in the pathway enter
the atmosphere. The effect is much
like drawing the head of a match along
n rough surface. When a meteorite of
sufficient size is within eighty miles
of the surface of the earth, it normal
ly-on the side away from the sun
night time-becomes visible as a
shooting star Millions and millions
of them, of course, are so small they
do not flash sufficient light to attract
the attention of those other bits of
cosmic dust commonly spoken of as
mankind. When the light of a Shoot
ing star seems to go out, that is US
ually the point where the fused and
fiery surface of the mass and its cold
heart have put such a strain on its
of its parts. But for the working of
that natural law, life on earth would
be like experiencing an amending artil-
lery barrage.
M%eteorites, according to Professor
Hovery. are generally divided into
three classes. according to their min
eral composition. First there are
'siderites." or iron m%eteorties. com

and nickel. Second, there are ''sidero-

ties, but which nevertheless usually
have grains of iron and nickel scat
tered in their mass.
Meteorite Mountain in Arizona
Meteorites nearly always take the
name of the tow nearest which they
fall. Out in Arizona, near Canyon
Diablo. is Meteorite mountain. and sci
expect that eventually there
will be uncovered there the largest
meteorite that ever struck the earth.
This so-called mountain is really a
butte, two hundred or three hundred
