YANKS BESEIGED BY THE TURKS

Eighteen American Relief Workers Face Famine and Death in Adana. TRAPPED BY KEMAL REBELS French Troops Have Fought Their Way Through to Nearest Port Twice and Have Returned With Heavy Losses. Constantinople, Aug. 20.—Showered nightly with Turkish bullets and facing famine, 13 American workers of the the American commission for relief in the near East have been besieged in Adana, Asia Minor, since June 20. Twice the Frencli troops holding Adana have fought their way to Mersina, the nearest port, and have returned with heavy losses. A flour cargo to the American relief commission for beleaguered Adana is .waiting at Mersina. The railway has fceen demolished and supplies can reach Adana only by motortrucks, heavily convoyed, with great ’oss of life through the ttO-rnlle utreteh controlled by the followers of Mustapba Kernel Pasha, the Turkish nationalist leader, who are determined to starve out the French in Adann. Describes Siege of City. The siege of the city was described to the correspondent by Webster Anderson of Crawfordsvllle, Ind., who has arrived in Constantinople after escai> ing from Adana on August 7 and walking southeast .to the Mediterranean. The Turks encircling Adana have little artillery, according to Anderbon, and consequently make raids chiefly at night when the entire town is raked. Thus far the Americans have not been injured, but their buildings have been peppered and they have not been able to leave the compound at night The French artillery tn Adana kills many Turks and affords cover for the troops which make frequent sallies into the surrounding farms and vineyards for food. The Americans are maintaining soup kitchens and workshops for 10,000 Armenian refugees. All but 300 of the orphans of Adana have been sent to Cyprus. Illinois Girl in Party. The Americans are Doris Nevln of the Colony club of New York, daughter of the composer, Ethelbert Nevln; Mrs. Emily R. Block of New York, Miss Adelaide Crane of Quincy, Ill.; Miss Ruth W.
