BRITAIN RECALLS
SMYRNA WARSHIP
Britain States at Wishes to
Help Renal Overcome
Extremists"

London-British warships were or.
dered to withdraw from Smyrna har-
Dor.
The admiralty here accompanied the
order with the explanation that Britain
hoped thus to ease the situation at
Angora. where Turk militarists are
clamoring for war. II is stated that
the British wish to help Mustapha
Kemal overcome the extremists"
Only one light cruiser is to be left
at Smyrna.
The Britain move in Withdrawing
the men of war which have ridden at
anchor beneath the guns OF Turkish
forts on the hills about Smyrna is not
interpreted as submission to the ulti-
matum issued some time ago by the
Ottoman commander there that Allied
warships Of more than 1000 tons leave
Immediately. None of the Allies COM
piled with this order.
The Angora assembly is debating
the Lar 1nne treaty. having heard Is
met Pasha's report regarding the
peace conference.
Extremists who favor rejection are
said to have the upper hand. Mustapha
Renal is believed to be inclined
toward Cancellation, but he no longer
has his former power.

transmitted by radio from the United
States. The experimental wireless
station at Seehof picked up the voice
of Miss Edith Bennett singing in a
department store in Newark, N. j.
Both the vocal and instrumental
tones were perfectly audible. The
transmission is regarded as remark
able since the broadcasting station
operated on a 40 metre wave length.

and France and far inland cities Of
the United States heard Miss Bennett

welcome Philip and Leila when

bay an hour earlier and met them
as they descended from the train

between them on the boat upon
its return trip. laughing and chat
tering with a hint of excited
tears in her blue eyes. She had
found Leila handsome and superb,
magnificiently costumed in a coat
Of Persian lamb and a smart
Paris hat, Philip. fat, florid and
aggressively healthy. Leila had
acquired an air, Philip a stomach
and jowl. Lucy regarded her sis
ter-in-law with frank admiration,
her brother with mild reproach.

seized his hat and made off to the
nearest cafe to consult the d.

found that there was only ono
Pierleoni, and that the address was
indeed as Livingstone had said, far
away in the rich, new, fashionable
quarter. He set off on foot, but
before he had walked five minutes
he was overcome with panic lest
he be late, and hailed a rickety
cab. Thinking of nothing but the
precious address which he had
committed to memory, he shouted
it out to the caDman. Halfway
there he suddenly remembered
that he had no possible business
at that address. lie had a horrid
vision Of driving up to the door,
having the portiere ask him his
errand, perhaps Of having Miss
Allen look out of the window and
see the scene.
This threw him into such
fright that for an instant he could
think of no escape and sat pas
sive, borne along to his fate by
the unconscious Cabman. Then
his wits came back to him, he
called out to the cabman to drive
to number seventy-fiv and not d
hundred and twenty; and having
thus snatched himself from de-
struction, perceived that they were
even then turning into the street.

to him with the YEARLY playful
accent Of the conscientious pen
sion-keeper, fostering cheerful talk
around her table, II understand.
Mr.. Crittenden, that you and Miss
Allen are in a way related, as I
might say"
Livingstone joined in with his
usual sprightlincss: yes, Crit
tenden, why didn't you tell me you
had fellow-towns-woman in
Rome? Last evening when l went
back into the salon and told the
assembled company about you and
your inheritance there was Made
moisclle Allaine, who had often, in
her remote childhood, climbed on

Miss Allen smiled quietly over
her cup, remarked that it would
have taken a holder child than she
had ever been to climb on the
knees Of old Mr.. Crittenden, and,
looking at her watch, rose to go.

head to the company at table and
