 diplomatic quarters here indicates that nothing important has developed
 in the situation at smyrna where the
 foreign warships are said to remain

 renart that the Turkish officials at
 smyrna have reached an agreement with the allied naval commanders whereby the status quo Will be main' tained pending diplomatic negotia. lians,
 The constantinople correspondent of the Telegraph tells how the conn mander of the American destroyer Litehheld met the Turkish order to leave smyrna, The dispatch says that the vessels commander admitted to the governor Of Smyrna that the Lltehheld registered slightly more than 1000 tons. the limit set by the Turks but explained that destroyers nowadays were necessarily fairly large ships and that he would like 10 stay. The commander supporteG his answer by adding that if permis- sion was refused he had orders 10 remain anyway and pointed out thar 1t would be much plcasanter not to have any trouble. The governor there- upon gave his consent, tho correspon- dent adds.
 . Nevertheless a few minutes before the expiration of the time limit the l.itchfeld took turn outside the harbor and then re-entered the for bidden waters.
 Dispatches from Washington on said that the destroyer Ed sall was the only American naval | craft at Smyrna and that as a mat Ter of fact she slightly exceeds the .oo0 ton burden mentioned in the Turkish order.

 'I shall watch the situation very closely" said Governor fempletan to- day. q proclaimed an emergency sH- isted because it actually exists and the only method Of procedure is t0 cheek up Zach and every ton Of coal now in the boundaries Of the state and to see that there are no inequalities in distribution.

New Style Ford

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 1.-THE Ford
Motor Company today announced an
addition to it's line of cars-the Tudor
Sedan which brings to the public an
entirely style of Ford enclosed body.
1t is distinctive type designed to
carry five passengers in complete com
fort. The roof line is low and
straight which with larger radia-
tor, now standard on all Ford cars,
gave Ford designers an opportunity
of effecting most graceful lines and
at the same time most sturdy con-
struction.
Besides its general appeal and high
quality aspect, the Tudor Sedan has
several new features which promises
to win immediate favor.
The two doors are usually wide,
% 8 inches to be exact, and are set
at the front Of the car, hung in ex-
ceptionally heavy frames and swing
open forward on either side in line
with the drivers seat.
Side windows running back from
the doors are oblong in shape and
thirtytwo inches in length, affording
unusual vision to the occupants, while
a large rear window adds to the Wis
Utility. An window glass are lowered
flush with the framing, affording
clear vision and maximum in ven-
tilation.
Exterior appearance is enhanced by
windshield visor, cowl ventilator
and secure rear tenders of new de-
sign.
Interior arrangement of the Tudor
Sedan meets all comfort require
ments both for driver and passengers.
The drivers seat is of the "bucket"
resign, with easy cushion and back,
assuring restful posture. There is
| a noticeable roominess in front with
plenty Of foot room. The fitting seat
opposite the driver folds compartly
out of the way so that entrance and
exit through the large and roomy
door is easily and conveniently eff
