TURK FORCE HAMPERED.
Kurds' Revolt Grows as Snow
Blocks Angora Troops.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
PARIS, February 26. = Reports
reaching Paris from Turkey indicate
the situation in that country is eX-
tremely serious, owing to the inabll-
ity Of Mustapha Kemal Pashas gov
eminent to crush the rebelliouS move
ment in eastern districts.
One reason for this inability is that
heavy snow prevents the movement
of loyal troops. Another is that en-
tire eastern Anatolia, whose inhab-
itants are fanatical Mohammedans,
have taken up arms against the "un-
believers from Angora-"
Hardy mountaineers Of the Kurdis-
tan district were the first supporters
of the movement led by Renal in
1919, but soon afterward they began
treating him with suspicion, and they
became openly hostile when the
Turkish dictator dethroned the i'm
perial family and abolished the kha-
lifate.
Rebels Well Armed.
The present revolutionary move
ment, it is reliably stated, was care
fully organized by anti emalist ele-
ments in Constantinople, who sup
piled the rebels with arms, ammuni-
ton. and money. While the official
leader is a former Clergyman named
Cheil, it is said that the real soul of
the movement is the Party of Union
and Progress, assisted by Gen. Kazian
Karabehir Pasha, who enjoys enor-
nous popularity in Kurdistan.
Reliable reports from CONSTANT
nople announce that the rebels have
occupied the important cities of Khar-
pout and Diabekir, while a strong
column is advancing on the Black
Sea port of TrebiZonde.
The rebels are led by regular army
officers who were dismissed from the
army as being unfriendIy to KemaI
Pasha- Reports that Prince Selim,
son of the former Sultan Abdul
Hamid, has been proclaimed khalif
have not been confirmed, but it is
considered probable that Selim, who
has been living as a refugee in Syria,
close to the Turkish frontier, and who
has the reputation of being a good
soldier, has Joined the rebels.

by Senator Pepper as a hard, two

is for loa ms on homes and reside ntial
property.
