there is no practicable way by which

Appointments Needed
you advise urging tho other four
states raising hard wheat to call an
extra session, fix the price on hard
wheat, and issue bonds for the pur-

when you remember that in each one
of those states it would be necessary
to amend the constitution to provide
for these bonds, it must be apparent
to you that this offers no relief for

BRITAIN TO
!; LEAVE TURK
(. TERRITORY
General Harrington to With.
draw with 10000 Soldiers
From Golden Horn
REGRET DEPARTURE
Patience and Restraint of
Troops Highly Com
mended

Constantinople, Aug. 13.-Witl
the coming of peace at Lausanne
preparations are being made b,
the British army to evacuate the
territory which they have hele
since the armistice. There will
be genuine regret among all the
Christian races here, and no little
sorrow among the educated class
of Turks, when General Haring.
ton and his 10000 soldiers bid
farewell to the Golden Horn. For
whatever uneasiness their pre-
sence gave to the new regime at
Angora, their occupation of the
capital and Straits has been a
power fer good.
Indeed, with the small French
and Italian garrisons and the
Yankee bluejackets from the
American destroyers in the Bos-
phorus, the British soldiers have
been the main source of security
and order throughout the' large
area menaced by the Turks. Time
and time again at Chanak, in Gal
l1poli, at Constantinople and in
Thrace, their patience has been
tried by the Turk, but they have
kept their rifles muzzled, their bay
onets reversed and their tempers
in leash.
General Sir Charles Harrington,
the patient and tactful command
er-in-chief of the allied forces
here, has addressed a typical mes
sage OF commentator and of eau
ton to his officers >and men. In
1t General Harrington, who is be-
loved of all ranks for his human
qualities and his constant solicit
tude for his men, says:
1T must be realized that it is
only human. to expect that our de-
parture will be heralded with a
certain amount, of satisfaction by
the Turks. look to all ranks to
conduct themselves during this
period with dignity and restraint,
and to do all in their power to
avoid incidents, so that the eva
cuation may be carried out in ac-
cordance with the high standard
which exists throughout the force,
and so that they may leave behind
them a memory and respect for
British forces which will ho long
lived in Turkey and in the his
tory OF the British army.
:A4l have a. difficult task to per-
fora. The patience and restraint
which have been exercised by the
troops are beyond all praise] and
worthy of the best traditions. The
closing weeks may be difficult
ones, and for this reason l ask all
ranks to help me in completing
the task with the dignity and high
sense of duty which has so charac-
terized the forces l have been SO
proud to have under my COM
mand."
The evacuation will be complet-
ed six weeks after the ratification
of the peace treaty. General Har-
ington has asked his government
for instructions regarding the sta
tus of the army of occupation dur
ing the period subsequent to the
ratification until evacuation. He
suggests the provision that no
Turkish forces shall be allowed to
come to Constantinople, and that
no triumphal entries shall take
place until the last of the troops
have gone, in order to avoid the
danger of incidents during the de-
licate period.

WHEAT TAKES
LITTLE Sac
Strained Foreign Relations
Affect Market Here

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Strained rela-
tions between Great Britain and
France. together with disturbed con-
ditions in Germany led to a decline
in price today. A new low level for
francs and a setback in wheat quota
tions in Liverpool gave impetus to
bearish impetus here. Selling, how
ever, was more or less checked by
shortage Of bread wheat this sea-
son east of the Rockies and by cur
tailment of the estimates of yields
in Canada. Opening prices which va.
ried from unchanged figures to. &c
lower with September 99kc to 99Ac
and December $1.03 to $1O3A were
followed by moderate general sag.

Products
ExPLOR RE LA ND
Tract of $4,000 Square Miles
Set Aside BY Harding AS
Oil Reserve

washington, aug. 1S.-The las
mystery land" under the Ameri.
can flag, vast stretch of noun.
tain and plain in northwest Alas.
ka, now is under exploration by
the federal government.
The tract comprises some 35,-
900 square miles, and was set
aside last February by President
Harding as a naval ell reserve,
Some traces of oil have been found
on its borders, but for the most
part its qualities and resources
are matter of speculation. The
exploration recently begun is un-
der the direction of six scientists
OF the Interior Department, whose
primary task will be to investi-
gate 6il mining possibilities. but
who in addition will make the
first maps of the region ever
drawn on scientific lines.
-Four or five summers are to be
consumed before the exploration
is complete, but. during the pres
ent season it is hoped to complete
q preliminary reconnaissance and
determine the location of the most
promising oil fields. For this pur-
pose the biologists and topograph-
ers and their camp hands have d.
ylded into three parties, in the
hope that by this means most of
the tract can be covered before
winter begins.
The few facts known about the
district are that it consists main
~ OF a flat and barren land near
the seacOast, a narrow strip of
which has been visited by white
men, and that in the south it in
cludes a high barren range of
mountains. It is bounded on the
north and west by the Arctic
Ocean, on the south by the Endi-
colt Range, and on the east by the
Colville River.
Whalers and a few other hardy
adventurers have visited the coast
and several small posts have been
organized. Several oil companies
have sent prospectors to look over
the many oil seeps to be seen near
the coast, but no legal claims of
permits for exploitation of the re-
sources have been granted. In
places the surface oil is said to
have been collected in small ponds
and puddles and semi-sdlid tai.
residues have been reported.
Whether the federe! govern
ment will undertake the develop
ment of the territory will be de-
termined later. The working sea-
son would be SO short, however.
and the difficulties of drilling.
storing and transportation so inn
mense, that unless oil is discover
ed in great quantity leases will be
granted to private firms.
Since the area is situated entire
ly within the Arctic Circle. not
only would transportation dis
tances be great, but the cold would
prevent working season of more
than few months each year. The
men were unable to
work until July because of ice
conditions, and they will hardly
be able to continue later than the
middle Of September.
