ROPE HATES ? -3ERICA, SAYS SEN. CARAWAY Asserts Politicians Blaine Everything That Goes Wrong on U. S. PARIS IS LIKENED TO SPOILED CHILD Returned Legislator Says Greek Defeat Due to French Guns. Returning from a European tour of several weeks In the course of which he visited France. Germany. Austria, Cecho-Slovakia, Serbia. Jugo-Slavia an<1 Italy. Senator Car away (Arkansas). Democrat# who was hack in his office yesterday, de clared that the politicians of Eu rope arc engaged in a propaganda, the policy of which is to blame ev erything that goes wrong on Amer ica; that but for French 75s Greece would not have been humil * iated by the Turks, and the present tense situation in the Near East would not have developed. The Europeans, he said, hate one another, but when It comes to hat ing the United States, they forget all local animosities and join, he declared, in "one grand chorus." Calls prase* Spoiled Child. Fi%nce, Senator Caraway assert ed, has become the "spoiled child" of Europe. She has enjoyed too much "petting and acclaiming" as the "savior of civilization," he said, and has apparently definitely ar rived at the conclusion that so far as the rest of the world Is concerned all her debts, past, present, and fu ture, have been cancelled. President Poincare, whom he met and talked with several times. Sen ator Caraway described as a "sort of village undertaker person," who is given much more consideration In the United States than in Eu rope. "Poincare." said the Arkansan. I "reminds you of the undertaker in the little town who puffs up and dresses up when the time comes to bury fhe village's leading citizen." Call on League of Nation*. Senator Caraway along with his colleagues. Senators Spencer (Mis souri), McKinley (Illinois), Ladd (North Dakota), Harris (Georgia), called on the league of nations when in Switzerland. The first three are Republicans and with the two Dem ocrats comprised the American Sen atorial delegation to the Inter-Par liamentary Congress which was re cently in session in Vienna. The league, said Mr. Caraway, favorably impressed nil of the Sen ators. Senator McKinley, he added, was inclined io wax eloquent about It. and "that," he added, "is out of the ordinary for a standpatter like McKinley.** "As a matter of fact," said Sen ator Caraway, "we had a hard time keeping the Republicans from join ing the league right then and there. "What impressed nie most was the propaganda that is being di rected against the United States by the politicians of Europe. No mat ter what goes wrong they blame it all on us and 1 don't think 1 exag gerate when 1 say the most popular pastime in Europe so far as her politicians ar?* concerned is what I may describe as 'cuss in* the I'nited States o?

AMERICA FIRM AGAINST PLEA TOENTERWAR t Hughes Answers Bishop's Appeal for U. S. to Fight Turks. NAVY WILL EXTEND ITS RELIEF WORK I Two Divisions of Destroy ers and Cruiser Sail For Near East. "Good people" who see the serious situation In the Near East with preju diced eyes are not going to stampede the United States into war. This attitude on the part of the American government was sent forth here yesterday in comment upon the recent appeal of Dr. James Cannon, Junior bishop of the Methodist-Epis- j copal Church South, that the United j States should cali out its army and j navy to help Greece fight the Turks, j Bishop Cannon's cabled appeal has j been received at the State Department. 1 where it is being studied by experts. I but the declaration is made by offi- j cials that this government is not going j to issue a call to arms In this crisis. Miaiqaoted He Aaaerls. Following receipt of the original I appeal the State Department last ! night received and made pjblic a new cablegram from Bishop Cannon from Constantinople In which ho stated he had been misquoted pre viously by .he press. "I did not claim," he said, "taut the government would certainly adopt that course," ? -*ern-?tf t-j the reported statement that the United States should protect Christians in Asia Minor, "if necessary with the army and the navy." But the Bishop continued, criti cizing the government, as follows: "You will recall American church bodies urged the State Department in July to take whatever steps nec essary to protect Eastern Chris tians. Prompt and definite Ameri can demands, supported If necessary by American nav^l units present, probably would have prevented, cer tainly greatly minimized Smyrna fires and massacres. "I believe Almighty God will hold | the U. S. government responsible for inaction while thousands were; murdered and deported, and for fafi- I ure to protect them against the de- f riant, fleartless and bruial Kemaiist 1 announcement that all refugees not I removed by Saturday, September 31. | be deported, which deportation j means thousands more will be added , to the dead. Secretary Hagkra Replies. To this Secretary Hughes cabled ; Bishop the following reply: "Your telegram reached me this morning. In the present situation, which has resulted from the clash of arms, the defeat of the Greek forces, the incidents of the retreat and the reprisals effected, not only j have we done sll that is possible for relief and in aid of the refugees, but we have exerted in an appro priate manner our influence against all acts of cruelty and oppression. "On September 8. before the burn ing of Smyrna the American High Commissioner at Constantinople voiced this country's feeling in earnestly impressing upon the Turk ish nationalist authorities the im portance of taking the most ener getic steps to insure the population of the occupied territories against reprisals. Instructions have been sent to continue and urge these representations and to emphasize the importance of Imediate peace ful settlement in the interest of hu manity. Point* ?o Action Tnken. "You will also recall that in June last we agreed to Join in an inquiry which we hoped would place re sponsibility and prevent the recur rence of atrocities. "Keenly alive to every humani tarian interest involved this govern ment has not failed in any way to make the sentiment of the Amerl-i can people understood and to take every appropriate action. "As you are probably aware, the executive has no authority to go beyond this and there has been no) action by Congress which would j Justify this-government in an at tempt bv armed forces to pacify the Near East or to engage In acts of war in order to accomplish the results you desire with respect to the inhabitants of that territory and to determine the problems which have vexed Europe for genera tions."

Thia action was ap parently taken In accordance with the promiaes made in his reply to the allied peace mutation. PARIS. Oct. 2.?The allies may threaten Greece with a naval block ade if she displays an undue reluc tawe to evacuate Thrace. Tfcis method of enforcing the allied de ciaion is at least being discussed in diplomatic circles in view of the re cent revolution in Greece and the avowed determination, of the new government to hold Thrace regard less of the edict that it must go back to Turkey. It is generally agreed that the new government will not be in clined to hand over without a mur mur a 1.000-square mil*s of terri tory which was originally given to Greece by the allies, and which the alllea now say must be given back Would Cst Of PwppMra. Likewise it is agreed that the al lies can hardly stand by silently and allow the Yurks to reoccupy Tfcrace by force. Neither will the allies be likely to send their own troops in to oust the Greeks. Diplomatic officials, therefore hav#. come to the conclusion that if pres sure is necessary, a naval blockade would be the most logical course. It would be inexpensive and would quickly cut ofT the Greek supplies. Diplomats here believe that a deli cate hint of naval action probably would he sufficient to effect the de sired evacuation of Thrace. Great Britain* it is pointed out. is also pledged to return Thrace to the Turks and ia therefore equally bound to aid In forcing the Greeks out. Aim to Prevent Tragedy. France is looking forward hope fully to the armistice conference at Mudanla tomorrow. It is em phasised that although the allies have stipulated Thrace, so far west as the Maritxa river, shall be fives to the Turks, the alliea neverthe .es? could hardly allow them to take possession before peace Is con cluded. Furthermore, immediate oc cupation by the Turks might result in renewed clashes between Greeks and Turk* end the a'lle* are natur ally dHdriom of preventing another such tragedy as took place at Smyrna a few weeks ago. The solution probably mill regult in an Interallied control with suffi cient for?^es drawn from Constanti nople snd the straita to insure pea -e and order during the transition from Greek to Turk control. <;reek? *pllt lato VMfeMi BEIjGRADE.
