It is organized under the laws of the state and .rl per rent of its capital stock is owned by the JJoard of Trade nml the Commercial Exchange in tru-t for the city. Hut its further extension is handicapped bv lack of money, which the city cannot upply. About one-third of it is in operation The Heading and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad- nre using it in returu for paying its operating ccpense- Tlic net Legislature muM be asked to clear the way ami by proper enact ments make it possible for the city to Turk Troops Try to Halt British Continual Krom l'ofe One sooner, If the Greeks nre left in Smyrna nnd the French in Cllicla. Through their control of the Turkish Chamber of Deputies It is asserted Mus tapha Kemal's nationalists virtually dominate the Constantinople government nnd laugh at allied threats to the sultan and allied naval displays in the straits. The real government is at Angora, be yond reach of naval puns, ncd the na tionalists boast the Allies cannot recruit nrmics nnd raise sufficient money to carry on war in the interior of Asia Minor, or retain occupied sections, llrltlsh assumption that Arabia. Pales tine and Mesopotamia nre already urder control is congested by the nationalists. .Paris, March P. (Dy A. P.) The number of Armenians who were victim !n the massacre In the Marash region nf Asiatic Turkey last month docs not ex reed fiOOO. according to detailed infor mnttnu received bv French officials. He I ports from London yesterday stated the 1 t.umber would be between 15,000 and I VO.OOO. I French oflieinls admit the gravity of i the incident, but point out it was im i possible tot foresee nnd prevent the I massacre as the army of occupation is pot larg" enough to furnish strong I guards at every point where the Turks nre llkel to engage in nn uprising U. S. OPPOSES TURKS 1 CONSTANTINOPLE IT il.son Likely lo Take Hand After Tentative "Settlement'" plans for the disposition of Constanti nople Is not clear. At Paris our atti tude favored the Internationalization of the Turkish capital nnd at one time under the Influence of Mr. Morgcnthau Mr. Wilson nnd Colonel House inclined toward tliu idea of Internationalization under hinndutc from the Lnltod States. At that time the British nnd French favored lenvlng the sultain, as the head of his church solely, in the American-controlled capital. If n plan could bo worked out by which Constantinople could be placed In ncutrnl hands, not In any way in volved In Near Knst politics, nnd the sultan in his religious capacity could be left in Constantinople, that plan would commend Itself to the Allies. Hut where Is the neutral power? Russia is out of the question if the Turk is to keep Constantinople as his religious capital. Neither Frnncc nor Hnglnnd, with their large number of Moslem subjects, would trust the head of the Moslem faith to Russia. Neither England, nor lfranco wnnt the respon sibility for the sultan, nor does cither one wish to trust tho other with pos session of the sultan. Three Churches Involved Three churches nre Involved nnd the following questions! How to keep the Turk In Constantinople without anger ing tho Christians of England nnd the United Stntcs and the Greek Christians of Russia; on the other hnnd, how to remove the sultan without angering the Moslems of the British nnd French do minions, nnd, again, how to keep the sultan ns the head of his faith in his old cnpltnl without retaining the Turk In temporal control of the city. Tho Allies move the pieces ono way nnd another in trying to solve this puzzle,' nnd It remains unsolved. The administration Is not greatly ronwrned over the present efforts to solve It, for it feels that forces arc at work which will upset nny disposition tentatively made. This country pot represented in tho conferences now. ire 'ig held with regard to Turkish peace. But before peace Is made It expect to imve the terms submitted to it fornnj proval. ,--nM If those terms, when submitted, pi"- villi, fn,. ft,. M Ail Inn nf the Turkish power in Constantinople, President Wilson 'will probnbly object to them. And tho statement of his objection Is cxtieeted tn nroitse nubile opinion in lilt. fAlintrt, nnrl 111 Knffln.ld. The view here in Washington Is that Moid Georze is unduly frightened oxer tho effect upon his Mohammedan sub jects of removing theTiiik from (on Ktantlnoptn nnd setting up tho Hultnn In Anatolia. It Is pointed out Hint tiflfl Ttirltn frlr Rtrnnrlv IIIlOll this Sub ject England could not have conducted her operations against the Turk In Mesopotamia and Pnlcstino with tnu am of India, H CLINTON W.

When finished this Belt Line railroad will be eighteen miles long, double -tracked, and run from Point Breeze on the Schuylkill up to Tacony on the Pelaware Once it is completed, ships coming to this port will be able to load directly from freight cars on tracks extending along the pier. What Is known as the South Phila delphia agreement provides for still greater port facilities South Philadel phia particularly is interested iu it.

Another factor iu the situation Is Rusia. The Allies nre on the point of making pence with Russia. And it is not believed here that Constantinople can be left out of consideration when pence is made with Rus-ia. The Soviet government recently indicated that it would insist upou the treaties which England and France made with Ru--in during the war. in which Constant! nople was to be given to Russia.
