Speaks to Maine Postal Employees at

Service.

Portland, Me, Sept. l6.~- Postmaster
General Work took fling to-day al
"vengefnl. discredited and discharged
postal employees" in addressing the
postal convention Of postal employees
Of the state Of Maine. Such employees
he said, were guided aby queer trait
in human nature, and occasionally at
tackled individuals in the department
in an effort to Justify their separation
from the service" Their motives, how
ever, he added, were SO patent that
they deceive no one"
The spirit Of goodfellowship brought
into the postal system by former
Postmaster General Hays, Mr.. Work
said, had established mutual conf
dence that could not be shaken BY
such insidious attacks"
Concerning attacks on the depart
ment recently by certain civil serv-
ice reform organizations" Postmaster
General Work declared that no one
familiar with the major principles of
civil service would destroy it. And
no one friendly to it would stand in
the way Of its improvement or use
its name in political campaigns to dis
credit the cause Of a party of opposite
political faith to their own"
The United States civil service com
mission, he added, was non partisan
tribunal, an agent of the government,
and should not be confused through
similarity Of names with self consti-
tuted organizations which have no
privileges except that of free speech
and no responsibility under the law
for the administration Of civil sery-i

BRITISH FLEET IN
THE DARDANELLES
Ordered to Prevent Any
Attempt to Cross the
Russians Bound
BY Treaty to Help the
Turks in Return for
Freedom Of Black Sea

London, Sept, l6 (By the Associated
Press Succeeding dispatches from
Constantinople, Athens and other cen
ters Of information in the Near East
only tend to magnify the tale Of the
tragedy in Smyrna.
The greater part of the city is in
ruin, laid waste by confagration OF
incendiarv origin. and the flames, ac-
cording to the latest account, had
reached the waterfront where the
qnays were crowded with fear-crazed
Christian refugees, who fled to the
city as the nearest port of escape from
the Turks.
Estimates Of the number killed vary
greatly, and the latest Athens dis
patch quotes an American relies work
er as declaring that up to Thursday
morning there had been 10000 vic
tins. It Il thought this figure may
include the wounded also, as previous
reports placed the number of dead at
from 1000 to 1000
Landward from the city, it is re-
ported that all the villages are burn
ing and that the whole countryside
has been devastated.
Meanwhile the Turkish forces in the
north have continued their advance,
and almost simultaneously with the
news OF their capture Of Panderma,
on the sea Of Marmora, comes the an
nouncement that the British feet in
the Dardanelles has been ordered to
prevent any attempt to cross the
straits, and that no ships shall be al
lowed to concentrate for the purpose
of transferring troops in movement
toward Thracc.
Jugo-Slavia and Rumania also are
watching any move in this direction,
as they are opposed to the Turks
again securing a foothold in Europe.
The Turks are not without support
in their European ambitions. The Rus
so-Angora treaty is understood to bind
the Russians to cooperate with Mus
tapha Kemal in the capture of the
Dardanelles in return for the freedom
of the Black sea and the Moscow gov
ernment is reported to have prepared
for action all its forces in the eau
casian republics, and to be holding its
Black sea feet in readiness.
The British government is especial
ly concerned over the neutrality Of
Constantinople and the straits and it
is reported that the French and ltal-
ian troops are also under orders to
increase their vigilance in the neutral
zone, and that, some have already been
landed at points hitherto unoccupied.
