FIGHTBREWING r
IN CONVENTION
Plan To Place Watson Man On
Ticket For Pension Office
Is Opposed
ATLANTA, Sept. 21. —During the ]
P3,st week .persistent reports; have j
beta heard that the Democratic]
state convenlicn which meets Oc- ]
ton, ’• 4 in Mac rii, would nominate]
a candidate, who was a supporter ]
..I Governor-elect Walker, to run in i
the November general elpetion fori
state pension commissioner to suc-i
eeed the late Mr. J. W. Lindsay.
.A (iispatch from Warrenton stat- ]
ing that the name of Major C. E.
JlcGregor of that city would be pre- j
seated to the convention by the i
Warren county delegation, gave col- I
. r to these i vport . Major McGreg
or is recognized as being a close
friend of Senator Thomas E. Wat- I
: and made several speeches ad- i
vacating the candidacy of Governor
elect Walker in his recent race i
against Governor Hardwick.
The message quoted him as say- ]
ing that if-lie became pension com-]
rnissioner, bis chief clerk would be .
Mr. Samuel .Askew, who Served un-:
der Commissioner Lindsay. Dele- ]
gates to the convention at Macon I
will be announced by Governor-elect ]
Walker lit th' next few days.
Chairman Wm. J. Vereen has is
sued a call for a special meeting of
the sub-committee of the state exe
cutive committee, to be held at the
Dempsey Hotel, in Macon, at 11
o'clock Friday morning, lor the pur
pose of checking over the handling I
of the recent primary, getting the '
data in shape and preparing to turn !
the affairs of the party over to the
Macon convention on October 4. ■
When that meeting is held it is |
now known that the matter of the !
situation in respect to the pension ’
CQinmisisOner’s office will be brought I
to the attention of the committee i
and request will be made that the
existing committee take some action. ■
Committee Controlling Power.
The committee in office at this i
time is the controlling power in ]
Democratic party politics in the i
state, and the vacancy existing at i
this time comes within the party pow- i
er of the moment. It is known that, '
in response to inquiries made im
mediately after the late Judge John
W. Lindsay’s death, the official
statement came that the entries in
the primary would not be re-open
ed because the official ballot had
been prepared and sent out over the
state, but the race for pension com
missioner would be an open one in
the general election in November
and all candidates would have the
full and fair opportunity to run at
that time. That information appear
ed to meet with satisfaction, and
was viewed as not at all in conflict
with' the Neill primary law. Infor
mation is had the result in the pri
mary been different that policy
would have been carried out.
Since the primary has passed, the
official announcement comes ' from
Washington that Major G. E. Me- ]
Gregor, of Warrenton, will be nomi- ■
naled by the state convention, put !
on the party ticket in the general ;
election as the Democratic candidate, i
and any body -else who wants to ]
run in the general election will have I
to make the racp as a Republican or
an Independent.

ALLIED SPLIT
DRAWS AMERICA
TOWARDS WAR
Oscar Straus, Keen Student Os
World Affairs, Sees Danger
In Existing Situation
BY JOHN O’DONNELL
. NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—Present
conditions in Asia Minor are so :eri-.
ous that there is ’‘great danger of
a recrudescence of the World War,”
declared Oscar S. Straus, twice min
ister and former ambassador to Tur
key, in an exclusive interview today.
The -former ambassador, who is
probably as familiar with the Turk
ish question as any other man in
America, emphasized these points in
his interview:
ONE: Turkey, Russia ami Ger
many, with one or more of. the Bal
kan states, may poof their forces
against, the allied powers.
TWO: The United States, for it<
enlightened self-interest, may be
coqipelled to take a part in prevent
ing a world-conflagration and in re
storing peace.
THREE: A general conflagration
can be avoided only if (a) Great
Britain, France and Italy reach an
immediate agreement and (b) if the
Treaty of Versailles be materially
revised.
FOUR: Th.e present menacing
condition would not have developed
had “the United States, under any
reservations we chose to make, join
ed the League of Natipns.”
FIVE: Vehizelos, Greek premier
exiled at return of Constantine,
“should be immediately - recalled and
placed in power.”
“I do not wish to he a prophet of
evil,” said the former ambassador,”
but the danger of tur outbreak of
the World War is great. I say great
because the present state of affairs
may bring Germany, Russia, Turkey
and one or more of the Balkan states
together in close alliance.
“The militarist and monarchial
parties in Germahy hdve nothing to
lose and everything to gain, in their
estimation, by joining with. Russia
and Turkey. Furthermore the Rus
sian Soviet system would be im
measurably advanced by such an al
liance.
“Today, Russia has in readiness
the greatest army in the world. That
army, organized and led by German
officers, can be. enlarged to any ex
tent.
“With the world exhausted as it
is, bleeding at every wound, another
war carries with it the possibilities
iof endless woes in the disorganiza
tion it may bring within the allied
nations themselves.”
Straus discussed the causes of the
present situation.
“For the past 100 years the East
ern question has menaced the peace
[ ot Europe not because of the domi
nant power of Turkey but because
] of the jealousy and the antagonistic
] interests of European powers in re
! spect to Turkey.
“The diplomacy of the Turk has
i been to take advantage of this an
: tagonism.
“The present situation has devel

of the jealousy between Great Brit>

"A new world conflagration may
ensue .unlc.-.s Great Britain, Italy
and France t ome promptly to accord.
1 It was their failure to act. in concert
' that caused the present situation to
develop.
“Had the United States joined the.
League of Nations, the dominant
1 moral prestige of our country could
have prevented the disagreement be
tween the allies and brought about
an agreement in regard to Turkey.
Then Greece would not have dared
to begin the war.
I “But Greece is immediately re
’ sponsible for the present Condition.
During the war that nation' was un-
- der the leadership of Venizelos, who
proved himself one of the foremost
statesmen of the allied powers. Aft-
> ter deserving so well of bis country
' he was deposed and made and exile.
“Had he been at head of affairs,
Greece would not be in the plight
she is in today. To escape from this
plight, to avoid another war, I would
- emphasize the necessity of these
’ steps: (1) there must be immediate
agreement between allied powers:
' Great Britain, France, Italy and the
others and (2) Venizelos should be
' recalled immediately and placed in
' power of Greece.
“And furthermore, if we are go
ing to avoid another war, the Ver-
■ sailles treaty will have to be mate-
■ rially revised. This revision is pos
•; gible only if the allied powers come
to prompt agreement. Only a solid
• diplomatic front, on the part of the
■ allies can bring Kemal and his forces
to terms.
“It is a world calamity that we
have not co-operated with the allies
by joining the League of Nations.
“Had we joined, the present situ
-1 ation, I believe, would not have aris-
■ en. As things now stand, it is with-
I ] in the realm of probability that for
enlightened self-interest we may be
i compelled to take a part in pre
venting a world conflagration and in
- restoring peace.
- “And all this menacing condition
• : finds its cause now, as in the past,
•] in the opportunity given to the
■ j Turks by th? mutual jealousy of
- ; those who opposed them. The pres-
I ent lack of concord between Great
; ! Britain, France and Italy emphasizes
• the fact that the Treaty of Versail

LONDON, Sept. 21.—While
the allied powers are feverishly
endeavoring to arrange a peace
conference between Turkey and
Greece to prevent more fighting.
; in the Near East, rumbles of im
pending hostilities continue to
j come from Constantinople and the
Dardanelles.
A relatively small force Os Brit

The Turks are eager for further ,

awaiting the word from Pasha to

TURKS INTEND TO
FORCE PASSAGE.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 21.
(By the Associated Press.—Ham
id Bey, the Turkish nationalist rep
resentative here, has informed the
Associated Press correspondent that
it was certain the Turkish army
would declare war on the British
if the British attempted to interfere
with the muvement of the Turkish
troops across the straits of Thrace.
The British are mobilising every
available Warship, man, horSe, auto
mobile, cannon and rifle witlwn
reach of the troubled zone. They
are preparing to deal ;i tremendous
blow by land, sea and air, which
according to the latest, reports, is
concentrating feverishly around Is
mid and Chanak.
Hamid Bey expressed the hope
that the British would see the fair
ness of granting the Kemalists the'
privilege already according to the
Greeks, namely, freedom in the use
of the straits without molestation.
He entertained scant hope of the suc
cess of conferences at Smyrna be
tween Kemal Pasha and General
the French high commissioner,
declaring that the Angora govern
ment’s determination to occupy
Tbraee was already, fixed and nothing '
would deter it except recognition of
its claims.
Nationalist troops are massed
at the edge of the neutral lines at
Ismid and Chanak. Skirmishes' aro
reported between advance patrols
and British outposts near Chanak.
NONCOMBATANTS LEAVE.
All the British barracks in Con
stantinople have been evacuated and
troops are marching in the streets
