A cordon of Turkish regular troops was also thrown around them. The Turkish quarter was not touched. It was the first day since the occupation that there was a south- east wind, which would blow the flames westward instead of into the Moslem area of the city. American financial losses are prob- ably heavy. The British inhabitants of Smyrna, with a few exceptions, were safely evacuated aboard warships on Wed- nesday evening.

The British battleship, Iron Duke, which arrived at Dardanelles Friday, reports that the Octogenarian Irish physician, Mr. Murphy, was among those killed in Smyrna. It is also reported that the Greek Metropolitan Chryseetotn was eourt- martialed and shot. A despatch from Athens to The Daily Express as sei-ts that Arch, bishop Ohrysostont was tortured be- fore he was killed.

A despatch from Paris says; -The anxiety of the French public over the constantly decreasing birth rate was intensified by the publication of the latest statistics of the ten largest French cities, showing the birth rate had dropped, off 10 per cent. in a single year. In Paris alone for the first six months of this year there were 24,000 births, compared with 27,500 for the same period last year. A' similar de- crease was noted in Lyons, Bordeaux, Lille, Strassburg, Nantes, Toulouse and St, Etienne. Only Marseilles and Nice approached last year's figures. At this rate the decrease in the population for the year in the entire country will reach the appalling total of 80,000.
