NUMBER 42. VOLUME 52. TURKISH SITUATION REACHES A CRISIS WHEN KEMAl REMANDS BALKAN STATES REFUSAL OF KEMAL TO DEAL UNLESS OWN TERMS ARE AGREED TO CAUSES NEGOTIATIONS TO REACH STANDSTILL. SULTAN'S THRONE BECOMES WOBBLY There Are Growing Indications That Sultan's Retirement From the Throne Is Imminent. The Turkish situation reached an other cidtical stage today. Kemal Pasha's reply to the allied governments has been made known atConstantinople by his aide de camp, and in an acceptance of pro posed conditions but with the insist ence that Turkish military movements shall proceed and that Russia, Bul garia and Persia shall be admitted to the prooosed peace conference. The military situation has become increasingly serious. The Turkish forces have occupied Kum Kalesi, at the mouth of the Dardanelles, com manding the entrance to the straits, with a cavalry force. Another Na tionalist cavalry, 3,000 strong, is at Eren Keui, 10 miles from the Brit ish lines of Chanak. Soviet Russia has sent a noté to the allied powers, the Balkan states and Egypt, proposing an immediate Near Eastern conference in the hope, it says, of saving southeastern Europe from a threatened new outbreak of bloodshed and giving warning that Russia will refuse to recognize any decision regarding the Dardanelles to which she is not a party. The armistice confeience has been set by the allied high command for October 2 at Mudania. Constantinople reports growing in dications of the abdication of the sul tan of Turkey and the selection of a successor acceptable to Kemal Pasha. Venizelos is now figuring in the political discussions at Athens. The former premier is mentioned as one of the members of the Nationalist cabinet which will seek to reconcile the Constantine and Venizelist element in a movement to assure a united Greece in this critical juncture for the na tion. Constantinople, Sept. 26.—General Harrington, the British commander in chief here, sent an ultimatum today to Mustapha Genial at Smyrna by wireless giving him 48 hours from the receipt of the telegram to withdraw his forces from Kum Kaleh (Kum Ka COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAM SHOWS CLASS BOBCAT AND FRESHMAN TEAMS DISPLAY EVIDENCE OF FAST WORKING AGGREGATIONS. ROMNEY IS POPULAR Every Student Out for Place on the Teams Has Loyal Admiration for Coach. With Coach Ott Romney, one of the west's greatest athletes at the helm, and with a crew of döse to 50 husky men in, moleskins, the athletic ship at Montana State College has already gotten well under way. The football squad which has just returned from a ten-day camp at Karst's Cold Spring Ranch, is in the pink of condi tion, and in spite of the fact that prospects were gloomy enough until this week, it now appears that they are many handicaps which Romney must over come if his elevens are to brighten up the name of the Bobcats this fall, but the spirit shown by the men dur ing the camp and the results already obtained would seem to indicate that these will be surmounted. A full morning iof mountain-climb ing, calisthenics and gruelling scrim mage was but an eye-opener for the men who took the training at Karst's this season. Afternoons were even harder than the morning work. The •■esult is seen in the fifty bronzed and hardened warriors who returned to the city yesterday afternoon. Scrim mage against the frosh squads and the second squad of 'varsity men has already been scheduled for this week. It may be safely stated that the foot ball squad is at the present time in better condition than they have been at this time in any previous season. Romney is building up both a defense and an offensive machine, and while men are now grown conservative in their talk ot the outlook so early in ih~ season, it is only reasonable that optiimsm should prevail.
