THREATEN TO
DRIVE TURKS
FROM EUROPE
Allies Send sfiarp Reply to
Objections to Peace Treaty
Action May Follow Re
fusal to Sign Agreement.
GREAT POWERS DECLINE
TO ACCEPT EXCUSES
Charge Turkey Prolonged War
By Not Less Than Two Years.
Causing Loss of Thousands
Of Lives to Allied Nations.
Br The Aaaoclated Preae.
Versailles, July 18. A threat tj
drive the Turks from Europe "once
and for all" was contained in the al
lied reply to the Turkisji objections
to the peace treaty, delivered to the
Turkish peace delegation here at 4
a'clock, Saturday. Such action
might follow Turkey's refusal to
sign the treaty or its failure to givej
it enect, the reply states.
The reply says the Turkish gov
ernment would appear tothink its
responsibility in war is less than that
of its allies and, that Turkey there
fore is entitled to, lenient treatment,
but the allies cannot accept that
plea ,The note maintains "Turkey
entered the war without a shadow
of provoyeationsand by closing the
straits in the face of the allies."
Turkey certainly prolonged the war
by not less than two years and
caused los to the allies of thousands
of lives and thousands oi million of
pounds.
f Attempt to End Atrocities.
.Continuing the nqte says;
"The history of the relations be
tween the Porte and the great pow
ers, for a long period before tk-e w?r
was one long story of repeated un
availing attempts to put an end to
atrocities in Bulgaria, Macedonia
Armenia and elsewhere ntrocities
which startled and shocked the con
science of mankind.
It is estimated that since 1914 the
Turkish government has massacred
on the mendacious pretext of al
leged revolt 800,000 Armenians, in
cluding women and children, ami
rxpelled or deported more thnu
.'00,000 Greeks and 200,000 Armeni
ans from their homes.
"Not only has the Turkish gov
ernment failed to protect the su'';
;ccs of other races from-pillage,
outrage and murder, but 'thcro ii
abundant evidence that it has been
responsible for directing and organ
mug. savagery against people to
whom it owed protection.
"For these reasons the allied pow
ers have resolved to emancipate all
areas inhabited by a non-Turkish
majority from Turkish rule." .
No Restriction of Trade.
Referring to the provisions 6fvthe
treaty concerning Smyrna, the allied
note points out that they will not
have the effect of restricting the
trade of Anatolia. On the contrary,
it declares, the freedom of the por
is guaranteed. It contends that the
treaty leaves Turkey, a national
state with a large productive area
and that there is nothing "n the
treaty "to prevent Turkey from I e
toming a prosperous nation if she
reforms." ' . ' ' "
As to Constantinople being left as
the capital of Turkey, the allies say
thev have grave doubts ' as to the
wisdom xf this step in vew of the
misuse made by the Turks of their
power in the. .past. ,
I lv. conclusion the note refers to
the possibility of the allies having to
drive the Turk from Europe arid
fixes a 10 day limit for Turkish ac
ceptance of the treaty.

the Nebraska Audubon society Sat
urday refused to pass a resolution
against taking their fives.
Let it not be understood rom this
that the good people of this so
ciety are in favor of foiling birds.
Far be it from such. They love
the birds as much as ever. In fact
the killing of "one solitary robin,
the now-famous , "Albino robin,"
precipitated the merry fight of last
night.
Charles Perkins, wearing his
scout master uniform, was the cen
ter of all eyes. Some wer con
demning eyes. For CharlesMs the
sjayer of the Albino robin. He shot
it in the interests of science, a
white robin being about asrare'a
thing as a blue. moon.
Says Bad Example.
"I think Mr. Perkins did not make
a mistake in killing the white robin,
from
the standpoint of a taxider-
tnist," said Mrs. W. F. Baxter. "But
he did make a great mistake be
cause he is a scout master and his
killing of the bird et a bad exam
ple for the Boy Sccuts."
''Does Mr. Perkins agree never
to do such a thing again?" demand
ed Walter Hayward. ,
"If I have a scientific license and
a similar occasion should arise, I
would probably kill another bird,"

The Missouri river is threatening
serious damage to farm lands south
of Manawa, and yesterday was eat
ing into $300 acres at the rate of 25
fect .every .two and one-half hours.
A section of the dike that was erect
ed several years ago to protect the
Ben Marks land and other valuable
farms . has fallen,, into the hungry
Maw of the stream.
Sunday afternoon the river had
eateii its way into what is knowiras
the old Barstow slotigh and had cut
in north and east of "log cabin" and
a fifle gVoup of buildings on the
Marks estate. , Sectinons of the
highwap have been engulfed and the
crumbling banks were within less
than half a mile of the "cabin." This
building was built of the polished
redwood logs that forrfled the Ore
gon -and Washington buildings at
the Omaha exposition, and is one of
the fiiiest farm homes in the county.
WcAod Bros., of Lincoln, whose
new method of controlling the civer
has been" successfully demonstrated,
have a contract to begin restraining
operations at the threatened point
and expect to have a boat there
Tuesday. The company is doing im

Sheriff Clark Offers
$50 for One Pint of
Roadhouse Booze
Sheriff Mike Clark will pay $50
for a pint of whisky. The only
provision is it must be- proven
that the whisky was secured at a
road house in Douglas county.
Noody is barred; the offer is
wide open to private citizens, pri
vate and amateur detectives and
officers of all kinds, Clark says.
Twenty-five dollars is offered
by the county and Clark is pcttfng..
up the other $25 personally.
"A lot of people have been say
bcoze was being sold at the road
houses," Clark said Sunday.
v"Now it is "up to these people to
prove their statements or keep
still. I will gladly pay $50 to any
one who will bring me a pint of
Looze and prove that he, bought it
at a roadhouse in Douglas county."

asserted Mr. Perkins with great
firmness.
On the table where President Roy
Towl presided was a cage contain
ing the grosbeak which was rescued
from cats at the home of M. E. Lar
son, Thirty-third and Burt streets, a
month ago.
"All this, fuss about Mr. Perkins
shooting that white robin is ridicu
lous," declared Mr. Larson. "The
cats of Omaha kill probably thou
sands of birds a year. In-the house
next to mine is a maltese cat, in the
one next to that is a white cat, in
the next-house is a cat with three
kittens.!
Cats Kill Birds.
"The city's full of cats and they
all seem to have nine lives at least
and they're killing birds at a ter
ri4je rate and maiming some that
they don't quite succeed in killing.
If you want to do the birds, a good
turn put a stop to the cat nuisance."
The "wounded grosbeak, in the
cage flapped hi? good wing' and said
"tweet, tweet," to this speech.
The meeting then calmed down
enough to consider Mrs. Baxter's
resolution. Miles Greenleaf succeed
ed in getting an amendment passed
which made it read that iht Nebras
ka Audubon society was opposed to
taking the life of birds "except under
regulation of a properjeientmc li
cense." (
The resolution, as amended, then
failed to pass.

PRESIDENT
TAKES PART
OF EMPLOYES
k)rder Dismissing Number of
Aged Government Clerks Is
Suspended Until Wilson Can
Review New Law.
HUNDREDS OF PERSONS
AFFECTED BY ACTION
Chief Executive Believed to
Favor More Humanitarian
Interpretation of Statute
Than Taken by Burleson.
Chlraco "Trihune-Omaha lire leased Wire.
Washington. July 18. No- super
annuated employes are to be dis
missed from the government service
until President Wilson lias had an
opportunity to give further consider
ation to the law under which all em
ployes who have reached the re
tirement age are subject to dismissal
on and after Wednesday, July 21.
The president today sent word to
the Interior'department and Postof
fice department that all dismissal
cases be held in abeyance until afjer
the cabinet meeting Tuesday, after
which it is believed the president will
issue an executive order defining the
actipn to be taken by all government
departments.
The action of the, president has
served, temporarily at least, to save
from summary dismissal employes
who have reached retirement age,
but are still able and willing to ren
der efficient service.
Burleson Issues Order.
1 Following the receipt of the presi
dent's message. Postmaster General
Burleson issued an order directing
'"each bureau chieiTsuperiritendnt'of
division and heads of postofficesof
the postal establishment" to pre
pare and submit to him "not later
than 4:30 p. m. Monday, the 19th day
of July," all applications of super
annuates for continuance in office,
"with such recommendations there
on as thev mav see fit to make." I
This modification of the "blanket
order" hitherto (issued by Mr. Burle
son under which every superan
nuated clerk "in the postal service
would automatically be separated
from the service, will affect 200
clerks in the Chicago office, and
hundreds of others throughout the
country'.
The president is bcleved to favor
a' more humanitarian' Jnterpftf tatson
of the law than that under whidh the
postmaster general has hitherto
acted. The committee which called
at the White House this morning to
present resolutions of protest
against the drastic application of the
law alike to. the fit and "unfit em
ployes, was informed by Secretary
Tumulty that the president had al
ready taken the necessary -steps to
forestall summary dismissals.
Wilson in Sympathy.
While President Wilson has not
stated his position on the application
of the law, fie is known to be in full
sympathy with the report made re
cently by Secretary John 'Payne of
the Interior department, which held
that each individual case of an em
ploye wishing to be detained after
having passed the retirement age
should be decided on its merits, with
the good of the service as the para
mount object sought, The report
was submitted to the secretary by
a special committee of executives of
the Interior department. v-
Any ruling that" men and women
must be, retired when they reached
the age of 65 or: 70 years, according
to their classification, would meet
with the unqualified disapproval of
President Wilson, and no orders
from department heads or subordi
nates to that effect will stand un
til the matter has been threshed out
before the cabinet. ' .
