I Constantinople, Oct. 2.-(By the
Awociated Press)-With an ar:
mstiee conference fixed for tomor-
roW at Mudania. the peril of war
between Great Britain and Turkey
appeared less menacipg today.
An immediate mutual agreement
TO suspend all movements of
troops was expected here today to
Be the first outcome Of the confer
ence.
Great Britains recession from
the neutral zone controversy caus-
ed no little surprise and disap-
potntment here, but it was gener-
ally admitted that this step was
the only thing which could have
stayed Mustapha Renal Pasha's
land. 1t is pointed to as another
evidence of England's extraordin-
ary patience and earnest desire to
avoid war.

Up to the time Of the issuance
OF Brigadier- General Harrington s
temporizing note, Saturday night,
the situation looked exceedingly
critical, 1t is now conceded that
ms tact and tolerance coupled with
tne timely arrival of reinforce
menss from England, prevented the
Turks from striking At Chanak.
The situation on Saturday after
noon was so strained that a break
seemed inevitable. The British

costs as the Turks were slowly eu-
veloping the Dardanelles citidel,
on Saturday morning the Turkish
FORCES were increased by 1900 cav

OOerwork Causes
Net0 Disease, Says
Chicago Physician

Chicago, Feb. 9.-Modern business
methods and the wear and tear of
professional life in big cities have
produced a disease known as chronic
fatigue intoxication. about which
physicians know little, according to
DIR. Edward H. Ochsuer, who de-
scribed the disease before the Chicago
Medical society last night.
Doctor Ochsner illustrated his dis
cussion Of the subject with pictures
showing men and women with mouths
drawn down. making them look like
chronic grouches" and others with
smiles which, he explained. indicated
anything but feeling of hilarity.
THE disease attacks only those who
are alert. mentally and physically, and
who turn out prodigious amounts OF
work for time" he said. The dis
ease causes their muscles to contract
and it is because of the inability to
relax that the patients carry a con-
tinuous frown on their faces. The
disease is caused by poison generated
by Fatigue"

ANOTHER NEWLINE
Santa Fe VIII Build 4O-MiIe
Branch in Oklahoma.
Connect the Southern Division
With Rich Indian Territory.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway company will begin the con-
structiOn at once of a forty-mile
branch line running from Owen to
Pawhuska. in Oklahoma, according to
an announcement received at the COM
pany's general offices here today from
w. B. Storney, president.
The right of way for this road was
obtained before the war. and some
grading was done, but the work was
suspended when the government took
over the railroads. The line will be
a branch of the Santa Fe's southern
division and ultimately will connect
with the Gushing Shawnee line at
Fairfax. Such a connection has been
under consid deration for some time, as
shown by the cNznpany's latest fold
ers, but authority given by the inter
state commerce commission shows
the present at least, at Pawhuska.
A Growing City.
Pawh'4ska is a growing city in a
dist rtct rich in oil with industrial pos
sihIlities which promise to make if
one of the Important centers of the
state OF Oklahoma. 1t is the capital
OF the Usage Indian nation which con-
tlnues to maintain its tribal organiza-
tlon altho the inhabitants own mil
lions of dollars worth of oil lands and
are considered immensely wealthy.
In building this branch in Okla
homa, and the Satanta line in south
western Kansas, announcement OF
which was made about three weeks
ago, the Santa Fe is taking a lead in
the construction of new railway since
the war The two lines represent
the only major building operations OF

FORD PLAN
Agricultural Committee of Sem
ate Wants Control.
Guarantee of Fertilizer PrOduc-
tiOn Now Being Forced.

Washington. Feb. 9.-Chairman
julius Kahn, of the house military af-
fairs committee. prepared today to
combat attempts of the agriculture
committee to get control of Henry
Ford's Muscle Shoals development
proposal.
1t became apparent today when
hearings on the Ford offer were re-
newed that some members are hostile
to the Detroit mans proposal.
Approval of the house committee to
the Ford offer, it was declared by
some members, depends on whether
Ford will strengthen his guarantee
that he will manufacture fertilizer to
capacity production of the plant and
at a materially reduced cost to the
farmer.
Henry Ford will not appear before
the house military affairs committee
of his offer to lease the goyernments
nitrate plants and water power pro-
1ects at Muscle Shoals, Ala, Repre-
sentative Kahn, the committee chair
man, announced today.
Ford will be represented before the
committee by w. B. Mayo, his chief
engineer. Mayo is scheduled to appear
on Monday.

A 56rM|LE WIND
Extent of Damage to Wheat
Crop Is Not Known.
Prospect Continues To Be Mys-
terry, Says Secretary MOhler.

The 56-mile wind which swept
across the big central and western
Kansas wheat areas yesterday blew it
self out last night, according to re-
ports received today by the weather
bureau here. The dust storm neces-
sarily damaged the wheat, but the eX-
tent of the damage can not yet be es-
timated, it was said.
J. c. Mohler, secretary of the state
board of agriculture. is inclined to
pin his faith in the wonderful vitality
characteristic of the wheat plant.
MohIer Is Optimistic.
"The prospect of the wheat crop
continues as much mystery as ever"
said Secretary Mohler. ''Of course
the dust storm could do it no good.
But I am inclined to await the spring
tempting to predict how it will turn
out. 1t is characteristic of the crop
to stage a comeback after unfavor-
able winter conditions. Wheat grow
erS tell me that the lack of growth
above the ground-in fields where it
that 1t is taking deeper root. In that
case it would survive the dirt blow
ing, with a timely precipitation of
moisture later. OF course, in fields
where the wheat is not showing above
the ground, there is much less hope
OF its survival
The recent estimate of z. J. Smiley,
secretary of the Kansas Grain Deal
ers' association, that 100000 acres
of the 100000 acres of wheat soy@n
in Kansas will be abandoned, is prob
ably considerably too high, Mohier
said today in answer to an inquiry.
Information Is Incomplete.
1.-The information in the hands of
the board is incomplete" said Secre-
tary Mohler; but I am inclined to be-
lieve a. larger percentage of the acre
age sown will be harvested than Sni-
ley has predicted.
TT is true growing conditions have
been extremely unfayorable and the
outlook is none too optimistic, but
time and again the crop has been
given up during the winter months
only to come out with the spring rains
and sunshine"

Would Make New Era of Com
mercial Unanimity.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Merger Of the
greater Pacific coast steamship lines
into one parent company with the in
dividual companies heading priority
stock and the general public buying
in to the extent of 49 per cent is de-
signed by the administration to place
American commerce in Pacific waters
on a parity with the enterprises of
Japan and Great Britain.
The plan is the first step in what is
generally described as a great peace
full international shipping war" de-
signed to restore American shipping
to its old time position. Having en-
sured the peace of the Pacific and the
open door in China thru the arma-
ment conference, the United States
now. intends to step out and bid for
an even split for the commerce in
the Pacific and the Far East.
The officials of the shipping board
informed the International News
Service today that if the Pacific coast
merger succeeds, the Identical plan
will be applied to the Gulf district
and later to the Atlantic, where Great
Britain's supremacy will be chal-
lenged.
The projected parent company,
designated a master marine corpora
ton, would operate under the pro-
jected government subsidy.
The whole project, revolutionary in
scope. hinges entirely upon the action
congress will take on the subsidy
plan which President Harding will
present to congress. President Hard
ing has been Withholding action or
the subsidy plan until the Pacific
coast shippers could agree on the pro-
posed merger and until the armament
! conference had assured an open door
in China.
