TURKISH FORCES
At BRITISH LINE
Situation Nears Climax as
Turks Reach Chan0k
DICTATORS RULE GREECE
Turkish Forces Now Practically
Against British Entrenchments-
Provisional Military Govern
ment Set Up In Athens.

Constantinople.-Ey are surely
approaching a climax. The Turks have
occupied the entire neutral zone on
the Asiatic side OF the Dardanellcs.
with the exception OF the Chanak area.
around which they have established
infantry units in semi-circle. virtu-
ally investing the British lines.
The Turkish cavalry squadrons are
retiring, and the British troops. who
are in strong force at Chanak. are
ready for what may happen.
In these circumstances General IIar-
ington. the British commander-in-
chief. has sent a wireless message
TO Renal Pasha at Smyrna. asking for
an immediate personal meeting. He
leaves the choice OF place to Renal.
whose reply is expected momentarily.
Yussuf Renal Pasha. the National
list Foreign Minister. is understood to
have gone to Angora to submit the
Allied joint note to the Nationalist
Assembly. but in the meantime Turk
ish concentrations are being pushed
with the greatest speed.
British reinforcements are reaching
here and the threatened area. The
super-dreadnoughts Revenge and
Revolution. the most powerful fight
ing machines afloat. have arrived in
the Dardanelles. while battalion OF
North Staffordshires and 1000 men OF
the British air forces landed and
marched through Constantinople with
bands playing. Their presence has
helped TO bring about reassuring ef-
feet.
The Turkish instructions TO the men
in the Chanak sector are to advance
the farthest possible without meeting
resistance. They are now practically
against the British entertainments.
and obviously the situation cannot be
indefinitely prolonged.
Notwithstanding the Kemalist con
centrations around Shanak, how
ever. the British are confident of
holding their lines against all odds.
They declared that their TANKS are
well protected by the fleet. The bat
tleships with their l6-inch guns can
sweep the whole area around Cha
max for distance of 30 miles. and il
is possible for the British to dis
mount some OF their giant naval guns
and use them for shore batteries.
The Turks at present have only
machine guns in the Chanak area. II
they brought up heavy artillery the
security of Chanak might be serious
~ challenged. the British admit. but
the entertainments in this sector are
said TO be more efficient than any
used in the World War. Since Sep
TENDER II. 1000 men from the labor
squad. 1000 from the feet and several
thousand from the army have been
steadily building trenches and setting
up gun emplacements.

gravity of the situation In the Near

SOUTH AMBOY, Osct. 21.-The
unpaved portion of Bordentown ave.

lie Service Railway which for the
past two years has stood as an eye
sore, n which has placed motor
lists to a disadvantage, is again in
the lime light. This time the Cham
Der of Commerce has taken the mat

secretary to communicate with the
Board of Freeholders requesting that
body to demand that the pavement
be completed at once.
This matter has been a long drawn
out affair. The city clerk has COM

and the Public Service officials, in
order that some attention may be
given the matter, but other than a
communication from Percy ingalls,,
secretary of the Public Service Rail-
way, stating the matter would be
brought to the attention of the prop

remedy conditions.

appealed for a greater stay of time.
1t seems to be the general feel
ing among the property owners OF
the city that the time has come when
drastic action should be taken in the
matter. 1t has been suggested that
the freeholders order the pavement
completed at once and If the
company still ignores the application,
then have the Board of Freeholders
cause the finishing of the pavement
charging the Public Service Company
for the trouble and expense the body

be the quickest way out of the pre-

WHITE CLOUD, Mich, Oct. 21.-
An old man poisoned like a useless
animal;
His dying son beaten until he ceas-
ed to CULVER
This is the amazing lack of valua-
ton of human life that is laid to
Michigan's 'Limberlost" by the state
in its trial of Medic Hodell. 26, on a
murder charge here.
Strange stories have come out of
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. isolated re-
gion of swamps, stumps and barren
land north of here-stories of dis
regard for law, social customs and
rights of others in the wilderness far
from the beaten path. But the ter
rible story of conditions, the state
says it will now prove, eclipse all.
Accused of poisoning her hus-
bands father. David Hodell, because
"he was feeble and required too
much attention." Medic HodeIl Is in
court. Also accused with her in the
charge of beating her husband to
death are her mother, Mrs. Alice
.Dudgeon, two brothers, Lee and
Herman Dudgeon, and Robert Ben
nett. a farm hand.
The "Limberlost" is practically de-
serted. Nearly everybody is in
"courtin." The incongruous garb of
the back woods people gives a big
touch of color to the little country
courtroom where the tragic story OF
swamp land life is being unfolded.
Many have been called as wit
nesses. Others were drawn by Curl
osity, a curiosity which even has
overwhelmed fear of "city folks"
and brought some of them to town
for the first time in their lives.
Medic Hodell has confessed, Off
Gals say, to solving the problem

ing his coffee. She is now on trial
on this charge.
She and her mother have also con-
fessed. declare authorities, that they

David Hodell dropped dead last
February as he was carrying in an
armful of wood for his daughter-ln-
law. His death was ascribed to old
age: no investigation was made.
Three months later the Dudgeon
brothers brought word here that
Romie Hodell had hanged himself.
County officers found the body hang
ing from a rafter in the Hodell barn.
Physicians said a blow below the
ear caused death. Investigation
quietly started. Suspicion spread

clared is not true and explained that
when the repeal of the bill came up
for vote, he. knowing that the rail-
road men did not desire the bin
repealed, voted to not repeal the

Under the full crew bill the rail-
roads operating in the stare were
