Famous Detective Sinks Slow

BY International News Service.

LONDON, Nov. 11.-Sir Will
liam Norwood, chief of Scotland
Yard, who was mysteriously
poisoned Thursday by candy sent
to him through the mails, was
sinking slowly today and the doc
tors feared they could not save
his life. His condition was ad-
mitted to be critical.
Arrest Expected Soon.
The best detectives in Europe are
on the trail of the poisoner. and 1t
was expected that an arrest would
be made soon.
Scotland Yard has been conduct
ing a vigorous campaign against
race track crooks, and ne theory
was that this clique was RESPONSE
BILE for the poisoning.
The chiefs secretary on entering
Horwood's office on Thursday found
the police head in q state OF collapse.
He summoned the chief police sur
geon and other doctors, who spent
the night administering oxygen.
He rallied slightly and his i'm.
proved condition enabled the doctors
to move him to st. Thomas Hos
pital across the river.
The Daily News says that II Is in
q position to state that arsenic was
used and 1t was administrated soon
after midday Thursday.
A similar but unsuccessful attempt
was made upon Norwood two weeks
ago. This was thwarted by the
assistant commissioner. The sender
could not be traced at the time. A
second box of candy was received
Thursday.
Sir William himself ate two pieces
and his secretary ate one and threw
the rest OF the box away on account
of the candy's unpleasant taste.
On account Of the poisoning OF
Norwood, police officials today
warned all public men to eat no
sweetmeats unless they know their
origin. Officials said they feared
a widespread plot to poison public
officials with candies sent through
the mails.
Scotland Yard officials said they
believed that the attempt upon the
life of Sir William Norwood was
the work of a lunatic. 1t was
learned from other sources, how
ever, that a certain person has
been under suspicion since Friday
morning and that capture Of this
person was only prevented by pre-
mature publication of the news
that Sir William had been poisoned.

NEW YORK, Now. 11-De-
mands for American military ac-
ton in Turkey made by American
clergymen who otherwise oppose
adequate preparedness were de-
nounced in strong terms by Gen.
John J. Pershing in an Armistice
Day address here today before the
National Civic Federation.
Demands are daily made that
the American military forces be
dispatched for participation in be-
half of our former allies" Pershing
said, discussing the Near East
crisis.
Is No Militarist.
strangely enough, those who ap-
peal most loudly for headlong inter
vention are those who most vocifer-
ously condemn any and all prepara-
ton for sudden emergency"
Every President who has ever
spoken on the subject Of our ma
tional integrity, beginning with
George Washington, Pershing de-
clared, has asserted that in peace we
should prepare for war.
You hear people pirate about be-
ing led into war by their statesmen"
Pershing continued. mo American
statesman has been guilty Of such
charge. But there are times when
1t is impossible to keep out Of war
without shame and dishonor."
Declaring that he was no militar-
list, but a practical citizen who did
not wish to indulge in day dreams,
Pershing emphasized the chaotic con-
ditions verging on war in Turkey,
Central Europe, and the Far East.
"The disposition of Manchuria
stands out as the most Immediately
critical issue in the Far East" the
General said. "Since our Siberian
expeditionary force was withdrawn.
there have been numerous conflicts
on the Asiatic mainland, in some
cases taking on the proportions Of
major operations"
Pershing said that America could
not regard with indifference develop,
| ments around these great storm cen,
ters, and that involvement could be
avoided only through strong and
courageous leadership.
I'VE must ever be watchful and
alert against such a possibility"
he said, in condemning conflicting
foreign interests and disintegrating
propaganda.
"As in the world war we declined
to allow our army to lose its iden-
titv or to be submerged in the com.
mand OF other nations, so should
we now resist all effort to have
our strength and influence used for
Interior purposes foreign to our
own ideals"
Criticizes the League.
I'VE should insist in world af.
fairs that all Americas strength be
| concentrated TO service under the
will of our own citizens and for
the maintenance OF our conception
Of American destiny" he said.
| Criticism of the League Of Ma
tions was seen In Pershing's decla-
ration that the doctrine OF interna-
tionalism had found far too many
advocates In our midst.
"It is In opposition to fallacious
theories that threaten our national
life" Pershing said, that thought
full men are bound by tho closest
ties"

Sultan Mohammed VI, acting
under protection Of the allies, made
the definite declaration today that
he would not abdicate despite the
decree Of the Angora assembly
abolishipg the Sultanate, according
to information from Constantinople.
This will leave the Sultan in a
precarious position when the allies
evacuate Constantinople and the
Sultan is left alone. He has no
troops and only few civilian fol-
lowers. Most of the nation sup
ports Kemal.
Officers of the interallied military
police at Constantinople interviewed
Rafet Pasha, and the results were
said to be satisfactory. The real sit
uation in the Near East Is still OBJ
scure, but decisive developments are
expected over the weekend.
Both sides are jockeying for
stronger positions before the Near
East peace conference opens at Lau-
same.
The Turkish Nationalists did not
interfere with the Sultan when he
attended the regular Friday Mussul-
man devotions, which are held strict
ly for the Sultan.
The Sultan drove to his devotional
exercises in an open motor car at
tended by the court dignitaries. No
representatives OF the Angora gov
