This was an increase of 1,065 deaths over 1920. .Returns compiled by the census bu reau showed that in these states,, em bracing two per cent of the nation’s population, the death rate was 11.5 per 100,000 population, as compared with 10.4 in 1920. Among the cities of 100,000 or more population, Los Angeles, Gal., had the highest death rate, and California led all the states. New York state regis tered the largest dumber of actual deaths-with 1,632, an increase of 222 over 1020. Total deaths in the. cities were 4,415 last year, an increase of'290 over 1920.

Turkish Dictator Organized His Forces Without Money and Drove Enemy From Country Which He Coveted as Birthright of His People—Stran- ' ger Meeting Him Would Mistake , Him for Ordinary Soldier—Wants 1 Reunited Turkey. i With the hard blue eyes of the pro- jfessional soldier, brown, almost yel low haired, Mustapha KeCaal Pasha, dictator as to the place Turkey is to occupy In the comity of nations, sat for weeks at his headquarters in the little village of Geuz Tepe, ten miles from Smyrna, which his troops, regu lars and irregulars, had taken and .sacked, awaiting allied action on his ; demands, and to which demands the allies finally capitulatedi Mustapha iKemal Pasha probably will go down in the \world’s history as one of the great generals and dictators of mod- ;ern times for his feat in- organizing Ian army without money and driving 'an opposing superior army out of the {country which he coveted as the birth- bright of his people has few parallels. O u tside o f his lean face, tight I mouth and cold eye, w h ich never 'shows a spark of warmth, Mustapha :Kemal might be taken for an ordinary 'soldier if he should be met on the streets of Smyrna or Constantinople by a stranger. He wears no gold braid on his uniform of olive drab, there are no Insignia except a small silver sfar on the red tabs of his collar, his black riding boots are the ordinary boots of any mounted man in the East, and his black astrakhan is the same as is -worn by all his officers without any distinguishing mark, j In the town of Genz Tepe at the lend of a street car line, the cars of which are horse drawn, Mustapha f;Kemal has his headquarters in a ■beautiful house overlooking the Bay of Smyrna and the city itself, and i w h ile h e w a tched th e smould<Hring ’ ■ ruins th e m iddle o f Septem b er, th e , s c e n t o f flow ers from th e gardens aur- : rounding h is tem p o r a r y hom e w a s ; w a fted into h is office by every breeze from the placid and sunlit bay. Soldier of Unusual Aibility, Mustapha Kemal Pasha Is a man. ,Let no one make any mistake about ' that. He is also a soldier of unusual ability. Because he was a soldier of ; unusual ability, perhaps he was a i colonel in the Turkish army at the outbreak of the war, and now, at the I age of forty-two he Is the dictator of j Turkey, and at the same time the dic- ;tator to western Europe as to what the future of Turkey is to be. ‘ For months he has wanted the Near East question settled diplomatically and without further fighting, but. this settlement, he insists, must include the withdrawal of the Greeks from the Asiatic shore, and the withdrawal of the allies from Constantinople as I the controlling body over that city. 'He wanted this diplomatic settlement before he began his drive on Smyrna '.when he drove the Greeks 800 miles jin twelve days through'the interior, through Smyrna and onto ships which j took them to Piraeus. When any ' army retreats 300 miles in twelve days it is not doing any fighting and the {only thing the Greeks did on this re- ' treat, according to the Kemallsts, was I to set Jlr» to the villages through which they beat their retreat. This fact has been established, not only by' the Kemalists themselves but by allied observers who were present at the time. ' Because he couldnU get this’diplo matic settlement from the allies he began that memorable drive which cleared the Greeks from Asia Minor and which caused the loss of hundreds of lives of innocent victims., Thou sands fled before the advancing Kern-' alists when the Greeks burned their homes and towns, because they know, as any one would know in like cir cumstances, that the pursuing army would take retribution for the dam age done to their country and people. Mustapha Kemal Pasha refuses to haake any definite statement about the killing in Smyrna or about the origin of the fire when talking to newspaper men. He told the allied commanders that there were bound to be some killings and some looting, as would be the case in any army under like cir cumstances^ Investigations by Ad miral Dumesnil, the senior allied com mander, and his officers throughout the burned area of Smyrna during several days brought to light only a few bodies in the ruins, and it is the opinion of this French officer that the total of killed by the irregular Turk ish troops who looted the town wa^ , considerably less than 500. He de clares that the 'Purks showed great self-control under the circumstances, implying that the Greeks in their re treat killed more innocent persons than did the Turks in entering and looting Smyrna. Kemal Near His Goal. Kemal’s objects are nearly accom plished at the present time. He wanted the Greeks out of Thrace, the ■ control of Adrianople to be Turkish and the allies out of control in Con • stantinople itself. He was willing to 'accomplish these objects through di plomacy, but if he could not get results iu this way he wfis willing to fight for them. He was willing to promise thp freedom of the Dardanelles to all nations, and said so on several occa sions, ’-not only to allied representa tives but to newspaper men. Besides the evacuation of Asia Mi nor by the Greeks, Kemal demanded an indemnity of 1,000,000,000 Turkish -pounds xor the damage Greeks had done in their retreat to Smyrna. He said this indemnity was not because the Greeks .had been beaten, but be cause of the damage they had done, taking the same stand as France to ward German.v in regard to the de vastated regions In northern France which the Germans had laid waste in their retreat. Naturally Kemal has no warm re gard for the British, who have been charged with backing the Greeks in their offensive campaign, yet he seems to*have no rancor as far as they are concerned. On the other hand, he has a warm regard for France and the French and will receive officers of the French naval forces at his head quarters at any time. Further, he has no hnimus toward the United States and believes that when the people of America understand just what are the aims of the Turks, to run their own affairs without outside interfer ence, the Americans will approve of his program. Kemal is anxious to create confi dence throughout the world in his aims and his program; He wants the world to know he is not and never has been a bandit and that he is working and fighting for a reunited Turkey, the same as would a patriot In any country in the western world Tinder like circumstances.
