Constantinople, Aug. 13. Halil I Pasha, former Minister of Marine, | and uncle to Enver Pasha, former j Minister of War, has escaped to J Asia Minor with Kritchclk Talaat, | another leader of the committee of Union and Progress. It is believed he will join Mustapha Kiami! Pasha in Erzcrum. Halil Pasha was made Minister of tile Turkish Navy in 1913, and held offiocj during most of the period of the great war. A Constantinople dispatch announced that he had died hut this news was never confirmed. Mustapha Kiamil Pasha, former Grand Vizier, Foreign Minister and President of the G6uneil of State, was in command of Turkish troops in the Lake Van region in 1916, and was defeated by the Russians, re treating to Erzerum. He was later arrested, being' charged with re sponsibility for massacres of Greeks in Asia Minor. Early this year his forces at Erzerum were reported to lie concentrating for an attack on the Allies. A Paris dispatch on July 7 stated that Mustapha Kiamil Pasha and Essad Pasha might attempt the formation of a separate Turkish government. On August 4 advices from Constantinople reported that the Turkish cabinet has ordered the arrest of Mustapha Kiamil Pasha and Reuf Bey, on the eharge of con voking a separate congress and or ganizing armed hands in the Smvrna and Erzerum districts.

Air Mission Believes Victory in Any Future War Depends on Planes By Associated Press. Washington, Aug. 13.—Belief that future war will open with great aerial activity and that victory will incline to that belligerent able first to achieve and maintain its supremacy in the air was expressed by the special American aviation mission which has just submitted its report recommend ing concentration of air activities in this country, civilian, naval and mil itary, under the direction of a new department whose head will hold a place in the President's Cabinet. The mission, headed by Assistant Secre tary of War Croweil and composed of some of the nation's leading aircraft development experts, has been study ing the subject in Europe in conjunc tion with the experts of the principal powers there, and its views were based on information secured in months of study.

WOULD PREPARE FOR WAR DESPITE NATION'S LEAGUE JcJlicoc Indicates His Policy While Visiting In Australia Sydney, Australia, Xug. 13. Ad miral Viscount Jellicoe preached a policy of preparation for war in some of the speeches he has delivered here while visiting: Australia to inform the Australian government concern ing matters of naval policy. "When discussions taKe place on such subjects as the league of Na tions or the question of limitation of armaments, 1 trust it will never be forgotten that the existence of the British Umpire depends absolutely upon the safety of its sea communi cations," said Viscount Jellicoe at Sydney, where he addressed the Navy League. Before the war, he said. Great Britain suffered from a lack of sufficient ships to guard the long lines of communication between Lon don and Australia and, he added, "it is up to the British Empire to see that we are never in want of suffi cient policemen afloat in the future." Speaking of the "deadly risks run in the last five years." the Admiral said, "one can only hope that in the future sufficient provisions will be made both by the mother country and by the oversea dominions to insure the impossibility of defeat of the British navy." After giving some information to show how long it took Great Brit ain to prepare for Germany's sub . arine campaign, Viscount Jellicoe said: "The lesson I am trying to preach is preparation for war. 1 would like to say very seriously that it seems to me the conclusion is forc ed upon us that the British Empire depends now more than ever upon naval supremacy." Leaving Sydney early in July, the Admiral started on a month's tour to northern Australian ports and of .he coast of New Guinea and adjacent islands.
