CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 2e.-
A revolutionary outbreak took place
in Turkey today. A former deputy
in the national assembly at An
CORA, supported by a strong group
of armed men. has taken to the
mountains where he is preparing
to make war against the national.
list government.
The rebels issued a proclamation
opposing the Angora government.
The government has the situation
well in hand and off'~'als claim
there Is no possible chance of the
revolution succeeding. However.
the episode foreshadows an era Of
internal trouble In Turkey, Dis.
content Is spreading rapidly. The
people are restless after more than
ten years Of almost continuous war.
fare.
One of the chief causes Of o1s.
content is the wretched living con.
ditions of the bulk Of the popula-
ton. On account of the long pe-
Rod Of warfare the people are com.
PEELED to suffer endless privationa.
Food and money are scarce and
rents are high. Taxes are higher
than ever before,
Government officials admit that
the task Of setting Turkey on her
feet and giving the people the com.
forts they enjoyed before thu
Balkan wars is almost a super.
human one.
Turkish officials feel that the al.
lies are eagerly watching the sit.
uation and hoping that revolution
does break out so that they can
impose terms upon this country
that were contemplated when the
Sevres treaty was framed.

LONDON, Sept. 26.--With Premier
Stanley Baldwin presiding. the cabi'
net met today to discuss Germany
unconditional surrender to France On
the Ruhr issue. The Preparations
statement the Premier win make to
the forthcoming British imperial
conference was discussed Ii detail.
TIE conference Of the oversees
prenniers will open next Monday.
1t was understood Baldwin In
formed the cabinet that Premier
Poincare assured him that France
did not intend to remain Ia the Ruhr
permanently. The French premier
said, however, that France would
remain In the Ruhr until Germany
paid the war indemnity no matter
how long that took.
The cabinet considered whether
Great Britain could accept such q
policy, thus standing side BY side
with France upon the Preparations
issue. Such q course was opposed
by some members who maintained II
would be tantamount to permanent
occupation.
Finally the members decided not
to make q final decision today, but
to await an official communication
from Germany and also events IN
the Ruhr.
Premier Baldwin made q detailed
report upon the conversations he
held with Premier Poincare and
President Millerand In France.
The Daily Express. in commenting
upon the situation said that, as the
British note Of August u, alleged
that French occupation Of the HuhT
is illegal, France may not share any
Of the proceeds of occupation with
the British. The editorial said IN
part:
Statesmen who lead people into
costly errors ought to have the grace
at least to move to other posts Of
usefulness. If we are to have money
out Of the Ruhr the ministry must
be reorganized.n
