PARIS. September French off,
cial circles declared that their latest
information on the Greeco-Turkish
situation was that Smyrna was en-
dangered and that the Greeks were
facing the possible necessity of
evacuating Asia Minor in view of the
Turkish military successes and finan-
cial complications. There is but one
months money supply available for
the Greek army. 1t was declared, and
no prospect of further advances.
While the French foreign office is
still awaiting the British reply con-
cerning the proposed near east peace
conference at Venice the feeling is
expressed her that the holding of the
Conference has been so delayed. now
that in view of the present military
advantage gained by the Turks there
would be small probability of the
meeting resulting in a peaceful So

Losses in Smyrna
Are $118,OOO, 900

Athens--The losses of the Armenian
community in Smyrna total $4,000, 600
according to tabulation made by a
committee under the direction Of the
Bishop of Smyrna.
Sixty million Of this total is in real
and personal property, and the re-
n1ainder in intangible assets like
stocks and bonds in Armenian com
panies operating in Asia Minor. The
annual income of 5000 Armenian
families in Smyrna used to be $780,
600, whereof Is per cent was given to
charities and to the church.
Smyrna, which was the richest Ar
menian community in the world be-
fore the coming Of the Turkish army,
had 20 millionaires, but today every
one of these men is virtually penni-
less. The largest losers are the land
owners, textile importers and exporters
Of fruits, cereals, carpets and opium.
The number of Armenians killed in
Smyrna, according to the committee
is 1000 and the number of persons
who are missing or who have been
made prisoners is stated to be 5000
men and 10000 women.
The most prominent Armenian busi-
ness men killed were Sarkis and Kas
