ARE FLEEING FROM THRACE
Adnannrle. Oct. 17 Ey the A. P.).
Tba-ty thousand Greeks and Armenians
have parsed from thia city to the west
since Saturday, and the road between
rf arJ the Maritza river In an un
broken line of men. women and children,
with ox cans, cattle and camels.
Through a steady downpour of rain
.hey are plodding- doggedly toward their
rnknown destinations, driven forward by
the nameless fear which has gripped the
whnle population of Eastern Thrace since
r, torrrnmcnt's bulletins were posted on
Sa'arriav announcing the terms of the
Murtan -a armistice, which provide for oc
eupa'ion of the province by the Turks
wi:hm forty-five days.
th ro -inner of the albed raisv mis
stationed hre declare the extent of t.ve
r"fare exodus indicates that the Turks
upon th-ir eutry will find Eastern Thrace
aimmrt uninhabited.
The procession has been orderly, but
t" misery of the refugees Is already ex
tern, and pneumonia will claim many
'teems if tho present Inclement weather
continues. The American In chant of
he Mtl Near East relief soup kitchen at
the railway Junction on the opposite side
of 'he Maritza declared:
"In all my experience I never imagined
such a pitiable sight as the march from
Adrianople In the drivinc rain. Every
refugee arrives soaked to the skin, with
a wagon load of bedding floating in
water." ' -.
Perhaps never in the eighteen hundred
years of its stormy history, not even in
tch days of the late Balkan wars, has
Adrianople witnessed such scenes.
When, on Saturday, the Greek civil au
thorities attempted to reassure the people
by statins that the Turkish gendarmerie
would not arrive for fifteen days, the
Christian inhabitants simply refused . to
believe them. i
Nearly every "Christian family in Adri-
anople gathered up all they could carry,
either on their backs or on ox carts, and
as soon as possible were oft. '
. Meanwhile Adrianople has taken on the
appearance of a deserted city, with the
shops and houses c'.osed. The Greek and
Armenian priests remain and are doing
conspicuous work in assisting the fleeting
inhabitants.

TALK OF A PRELIMINARY NEAR
EASTERN PEACE CONFERENCE
Paris, -Oct. 17 (By the A. P.). The
French govermnent has accepted the pro
posal of the British government for a pre
liminary Near Eastern peace conference
for the purpose of drawing up economic
and financial clauses of a new treaty with
Turkey. The acceptance is expected to be
forwarded to 1-ondon tonight. .
Objection will be made by Premier
Poincare. however, to holding the confer
ence in Iondon. as the British invitation
suggested. The French premier think
that Paris would be more suitable. . He
agrees with the British that the prelim
inary conference should be held on Oct,
20, or as soon afterward as possible.
London,-Oct. 17 (By the A.. P.) Wo
men without a. country are becoming
numerous here as a result of the new
American . law allowing American wo
men who .marry, foreigners "to retain
their own nationality ami providing the
foreigners whd'ibecome -the wives of
Americans .keep their,- native identity.
Dozens of distraoted ; women ; haive
been applying, dally at the American
consulate for passport vreap ' only to
team that they have" lost 'their riative
nationality and have nothing to replace
ft, it 'was said today, at the consulate.
Under the Brltum -law a woman who
marries a foreigner ,automa.tically : loses
her British citizenship," and therefore
aannot obtain a ; British passport. If,
having married an American, she tries
to obtain a United States, passport, she
is confronted with, the fact-that she is
not an American ; at all, because under
the new law, she retains her own na
tionality. Nor can the American wif
of a Britisher obtain a British visa on
an American passport, because, under
the British law, she is a Britisher, not
an American.
The American consulate is doing ev
erythinjf possible to lessen the incon
veniences which the new law has ipiled
upon these women. They are asked by
the ocnsulate too : provide affidavits re
garding their birth, marriage, etc. "
Complications worse than1 mere in
convenience may arise - from the new
law, it' is pointed out. For example, if
one f these "women without a coun
try" should die on board ship unfor
tified with the necessary paasport in
tricate complications over the litigation
of her property might arise. -

NEED STANDARDIZATION OF
CONTRACTUAL ACTIVITIES
Boston. Oct. 17, The need for stand
ardization in the government's contrac
tual activities was emphasized by Gen
eral Herbert M. Lord, director of the
national budget,-in an address tonight
on the work of the budget burf-au at
the annual dinner of the Asjnciated la-
aninrles - of Massachusetts.
Dlreorlor Lord asserted hat . in the
operations of the government there Lad
been no oo-ordin-a-tkm (between the con
tracting agencies of the departments
and Independent ertablishmenta, and in
many cases between branches of the
atme department.
'Thia lack of co-ordination in the
government's contractual activities." he
continued, "lack of unKormlty ' in
phraseology, extraordinary and : chang
ing requirements, unusual and impracti
cal inspections, and the . uncertainties
lhat surround the construction that
may be made of the previa ons ot gov
ernment contracts are conditions that
have proved most expensive to the gov
ernment and should be corrected.
"What- wo desire and are trying to
accomplish Is so to standardize govern
ment contracts and so to modify gov
ernment contract will bo- considered, a
prize to be won rather than a pest to
be shunned by reputable contractors.".

.Premier Lloyd George, aeeardlng to the
London Daily- Mail, announced at the
meeting of the liberal ministers last even

administration has long outkutted the ad
ministration of all the great statesmen
concerned in the Versailles treaty and
the making of peace, will fall aa a sec
ondary effect of Mustapha Kemal'a vic
tory in Aar.toiia, atill hanss on the result
of Thursday's meeting of the unionist
members of the commons. In all political
quarters in London today there was a
state of feverish activity, meetings and
consultations occupying the entire day.
The prime minister himself returned te
town and besides consultinc with the'
members of his cabinet presided this'
evening over a large meeting of liberal
ministers, under-secrctaries, party whips
and others.
No report of the proceedings has been
issued, but It Is supposed that Mr. Lloyd
George desired to ascertain how far he
could still depend upon support from the
liberal wing of the coalition in the 'com
ing developments and in the event of the
conservative revolt against his leadership
provmK oangerous. .
Opinion tonicht seems to be veerinc
towards the belief that the rebellious con
sfrvatives will at the last moment recoit
before the prospect of breaking with Mr.
Iioya Ueorge. who clearly, still retains
the support of Mr. Chamberlain, and that
tne latter may secure a maloritv at ih.
Thursday meetins. It is understood that
should the Carlton gathering vote minrt

iour nor Mr. Bonar Law wound

government. The Earl of Balfour nai
been so closely associated with Mr. Lloyd ,
George in all phases of the prime mini.
ter"s administration that he would prob
ably not be inclined to take charge of a
new administration almost certain to be
short lived. , i
No dissolution of the council has yet
been arranged, nor any formalities even
tentatively looking to dissolution, and
nothing definite Is likely to develop until
the end of the week. The premjefe
speech next Saturday will be delivered at
Leeds instead of Newcastle aa first pro
posed. If the Carlton meeting registers a vote
of confidence Ih Mr. Chamberlain, tt to
reported that Mr. Lloyd George will in
sist upon Imposing his own strict terms'
as a condition of continuinc to lead the
reunited coalition. If dissolution is decid
ed nnon, there is already evidence of
many changes in the new parliament.
