Show THE BRiTESH EMPIRE 10 UNABLE PREPARES FOR WAR WORRIED PEOPLE INVASION DANGER OF MOSLEM IN EUROPE BECOMES LESSENED; TROOPS READY RUMOR CAUSES DISQUIETING UNREST AMONG PEOPLE OF GREECE SAYS REPORT Pithy News Notes lg CABINET SETS INFORMALLY OVER WEEK END AND DEBATES BRITISH 1 Government Expects to Remove Thousands of Soldiers on Peninsula; Turks Take But Few Prisoners London.; Although immediate dan-frof Turkish Invasion of Europe has lessened, the whole British empire Is preparing for war in Uie Balkans. It is estimated that 300,000 British troops will be necessary if a conflict breaks loose. Allied troops, mostly Athens. Disquieting are rumors afloat on all sides, causing uneasiness which the sangfroid displayed in official circles is unable to calm. It is reported that the Turks in Thraoe, encouraged by the successes of Mustapha Kemal Pasha's army in Anatolia, are engineering an movement. Encounters between Bulgarian irregular and Greek detachments have near oceured along the border Nevrokop, and it is stated the irregulars were driven back Into Bulgarian territory. British soldiers and marines, under command of Colonel Chuttleworth of the British army, nave begun to throw up entrenchments along the Dardanelles, mounting machine guns end artillery to prevent the passage of the Turks. The British dreadnought Iron Duke under command of Admiral Brock, has arrived at Constantinople after landing British reinforcements at Chanak on the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles. Chanak lies at the narrowest point of the waterway where the Turks probably would try to cross if they decide upon an attempt to invade. It is probable that the Kemaltst troops will not enter for the present the Allied neutral rones along the straits, but that the Allies must make peace at once, otherwise, said a news, paper report, "war will follow." A Constantinople dispatch to the Daily Impress said that Smyrna had been virtually wiped out. After rating the bolance of the city the fire spread to the Turkish quarter. Those sections of the Turkish quarter not destroyed by the flames were shattered by the shells from the Greek warship Kllkos. The dead are estimated at more than 150,000. It is however ,to give exact or official figures. The total casualty list probably never will be known. Plague bad added new horrors to the situation at Smyrna which Is still filled with starving refugees. Mustapha Kernel Pasha, the Turkish nationalist leader. Is reported to be demanding that the Allies give up Constantinople and evacuate the neutral cones aong the Turkish straits. The entire British Constantinople Atlantic fleet Is being sent to reinforce the Mediterranean squadron for the protection of Constantinople, and the Straits of Dardanelles. This undoubtedly will create the most formidable armada of warships ever assembled in an area of like size, embracing the most modern dreadnaughts, battle cruisers, destroyers, submarines and aircraft carriers. British officials here feel confident that if the Allied land forces are not sufficient to check the attack on the Dardannelles by the Turkish national. Ists, the combined fleet, together with Fiench and Italian war vessels, will be more than adequate. illi III NEAR a EAST ALARMING English Troops Are Entrenching Along Dardannelles to Prevent the Passage of the Kern- list er NEPHI.

The Turkish nationalists have really taken few prisoners, the Greeks here claim, but they admit that many units are not accounted for and that these probably are wandering in the region between Smyrna and Alvalik, some sixty miles to the north of Smyrna, and Smyrna and Scala Nova to the south. y WILL 10 RAIL WORKERS WORK RESUME DUTIES SENIORITY QUESTION IS NOT ROCK ISLAND ROUTE HALTS NEMENTIONED IN AGREEMENT GOTIATIONS WITH SHOP REACHED AT MEETING MEN AFTER PARLEY seven-mile-wid- Dispute Over Standing of Men Will Burlington and Union Pacific Remain Be Settled by Adjustment Board Out; Men Are Being Ordered Made up of Workers Back to Work And Executives Daily Chicago. Members of crafts policy committee, the With thousands of the Chicago. shopmen on roads which have made peace in the rail strike already ba-at work, and with thousands of others preparing to take back their former jobs, a dozen or more railroads that have stood out against the plan settlement, were reported negotiating for peace Friday. Among new roads seeking peace are under stood to be the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern. If these roads sign up, it was expected that other great western roads among the "die hards" would fall in line and, also negotiate agreements. The Elgin, Joliet and Eastern railroad had completed plans to sign the agreement, it was announced Friday, while the Alabama and ' VIeksburg railroad, it was reported, has dropped shop who Wednes- day approved peace plans for ending the railroad strike, through separate agreements with Individual railroads, Thursday begun separate settlement negotiations under terms of the agreement. Instructions to various system federation officials to enter signatory negotiations and arrange agreements with their roads, were sent out from union headquarters by B. M. Jewell, chief strikelender, and head of the railway employees depurtinent of the American Federation of tabor. Policy committee members scattered to their respective buliwicks soou after the settlement plan was adopted. Ilailroad systems counted, amfrne those expected to sign the agreement immediately or soon were said to number between 30 and GO of the 202 class 1 roads of the country. The text of instructions to offi cials of system federations would remain confidential, Mr. Jewell said. He said also that union leaders would not make public at this time a list of the roads which agreed because it will probably be augmented by new signers as the result of a continuous series of conferences with roads not already in the agreement. Under the terms of the peace plan, shopmen are to return to work under wage scales prescribed by the United States railroad labor board effective July 1, the date the strike began in protest against the board's decisions. The question of seniority which proved to be the chief barrier to an earlier settlement, was not specifically mentioned In the agreement. The agreement made no mention either of working system or the contruct system for 'farming out," shop work which with the wage controversy were the original issues In the strike. Disputes over the relative standing, of employees, and new disputes which might arise as outgrowths of the strike, shall under the peace terms, are referred to adjustment boards composed of representatives of the carriers and their employees if the disputes can not be settled as an Individual matter between an employee and his road. The agreement requires the signatory roads to find places for all returned strikers within 30 days after it becomes available.
