WAR LENCTHENED
BY TURKS ACTION
PREMIER DECLARES
Also Blames Ottoman Pol Ne'ih,
Collapse of Russia
TRAITOR IN HOUR OF NEED
Had Been Preserved from Enc
mics only to Turn Upon
Her Protectors

London, Aug, 5.-(By The Asso
clated Press.) Prior to adjournment
OF the House OF Commons yesterday
afternoon for its summer recess there
was discussion on the situation in
the Near East, in the course Of WHY
the government was urged to BRING
about an immediate settlement OF the
difficulties between Greece and Tur'
key,
Premier Lloyd.George in reply said
the government had nothing to con
ceal in its policy and desired above
all that peace should be established
Referring TO Great Britain's relation
with Turkey, he said this country
had fought one big war to preserve
Turkey from extinction, and had
constantly interviewed to protect her
from attack.
But he continued, "In August
1914, when we engaged in the strug-
gle of life and death, when Turkey
could have assisted France and Eng
land, she, without hesitation, as a re-
suit OF conspiracy and intrigue, en-
tered into before the war with our
greatest enemy, did us the greatest
dis-service. | have no hesitation in
saying that her action prolonged the
war, probably by couple OF years.
Mr.. Lloyd-George asserted that
the collapse of Russia was almost
entirely due to Turkeys action.
ut would never have happened II
the Black Sea had been free. The
same applies to the collapse OF
Rumania."
The Premier said it was a mis-
take to suppose that the occupation
OF Smyrna was the work OF England
as that was done with the authorize
tIon OF the commission appointed by
the powers in Paris
THE British Government" he said,
never interfered with that commits
sion, which recommended that Smyr-
ma and the adjoining territory be
handed over to Greece
Undoubtedly owing to the fall OF
former Premier Venizelos, there had
been a certain chilling OF feeling
in France and England toward
Greece. That, he added, was Greece
business, and the whole question
must be judged on its merits.
He reviewed the efforts that had
been made to bring about an agree
ment among the countries affected
by the treaty OF Seyres.

INVENTOR BURIED
ON MOUNTAIN TOP
Villagers. and Visitors See Pine Coffin
Placed In Rock-HeWn
Tomb.

Baddeck, n. s., Aug. 5.-All the vii
layers OF Baddeck trudged to the peak
of Benin B>lreagh mountain last
night and stood in reverence at sun
set while the body of DR.. Alexander
Graham Bell was laid to rest after q
life OF rs years in which he gave to
the world the telephone and other
inventions.
Over his tomb, blasted from rock
that looked down on all of eastern
Nova Scotia and the beautiful Bras
Dor lakes stood the watch tower
built years ago by the inventor.
Below the quiet woodland and t1e
serene lakes, on whose waters DR..
Bell experimental with speed boats
and fast water sleds,
The lakes were still and al the
craft that sail upon their waters
stood motionless at the funeral hour
In the village every slop and store
was closed, and each home had sent
its occupants to the mountain top. No
one was left in the laboratories and
workshops where DR., Bell and his
helpers busted themselves in sum
mertime Everyone had gone to give
respect at the burial of the venerable
scientist from another land whom all
the natives loved
First there were short services al
the Hillside homestead, attended on
ly by those who had been very close
to Dr. Bell at work or play. When
these were ended workmen employ
ed on the estate lifted to theil
shoulders the coffin, which had been
built in DR.. Bells workshops out OF
rugged pine, and carried 1t to his
coach, which led the cortege up tc
the very highest tip of the noun
tain.
There stood the village parson
Rev. John MacKinnon of the Green
wood Presbyterian church of Bad
deck. Clustered about him down the
slopes Of the mountain were the No
va Scotians and few who had come
from the United States for the burial
one OF them DR., Bells sister-inlaw
resident of Washington.
Friends of the inventor recited one
of his favorites-Longfellow's Psalm
OF Life
Tell me not in mournful num-
bers,
Life is but an empty dream :"
! Then the 10TH PSALM
"The days of our years are three
score years and 10: And If by rea
son of strength they be forescort
years, yet is their strength labor ant
sorrow; Tor it is soon cut off ant
we fly away"
And finally the first stanza OF the
requiem of Robert Louis Steven
SOM
Dig the grave and let me lie,
Under the wide and starry sky
Glad did live, and gladly die,
And laid me down with will"
Then, as the day departed anC
the night came on, the body was EN-
tombed in the rock
For one minute during the service
all Of the 100000 telephones in tht
United States and Canada were 81
lent.
