REFUGEE PROBLEM IS BAD Refugees Do Not Trust Turks And Are Anxious To Go Quickly. , CONST A X T1NOPLK, Oct. 24. (By the Associated Press.) Tho allied gen erals and the Turkish iiationajists are still at loggerheads over the route to be taken by the Turkish gendarmes in their occupation of Eastern Thrace; Jtdfuet Pasha, the new .military governor of Thrace; at a lengthy conference; with the allied chiefs yesterday, urged that the gendarmes be permitted to go through Constantinople, but was told that the bulk of these forces must enter by way of Hodostu.

All the gendarmes, with .the execntiou of a small force here, are now- gathered at - Mudania and Ismid, awaiting word from the allies to embark for Thrace. Bear Admiral Mark Bristol conferred yesterday with the commanders of the twelve newly arrived American destroy ers,' outlining the near eastern situation and advising them of the position of tlw navy therein.

The allied high commissioners and Admiral Bristol discussed the evacuation of eastern Thrace and the refugee prob lem at a two hour -meeting yesterday. They dealt largely with plaus for evacu ation through the 'Black Sea ami Mar mora ports of some 70,000 persons. Col-onel!

In parts of Great Britain, notably tho Lancashire manufacturing towns and Glasgow, there are large resident Irish communities. How they will cast their votes is arousing interest both here and iu Ireland. The Freeman's Journal, Dublin nwspaper, crystallizes its advice to them in the sentence: "Wherever you see a diehard head, hit it." I. O'Cotiunr, whose Irish constituents in the Scotland division of Liverpool are dissatisfied with him because he remain ed a natioiialst, and lieeause, although a Limine ruler, he supported neither Kntnouu de Valera nor Michael Collins m the house of commons, will probably be op posed by n Sinn Fein candidate. The question of Lady Astor's position in the Sutton division of Blymoiith; has been settle.! by the central conservatives declaring the official conservative can didate, but it is understood that Dr. Bayly will oppose her, us well as a large candidate. A striking intervention, in the politic cut. conflict was made today from Man chester in the form of a manifesto issued by the local lilieral candidates and the executiveif the Manchester liberal fed eration, Manchester liberalism in th past has often had an important influ ence on British politics, "the Manches ter school" having become the standard name for a familiar brand of somewhat advaix-ed liberalism.
