day, after which Baron de Calice, the

Paris, May 13.-A correspondent Of
the Journal at Lamia, Thessly, tele-
graphed yesterday that he has learned
from official sources that an armistice
between Turkey and Greece has been
concluded. He added: This solution
was impatiently awaited by all, for it is
impossible to continue the war under
the present circumstances. The interest
is no longer in Thessaly, but at Athens,
as it is probable that the action of the
cabinet in signing a treaty Of peace is
destined to bring the ministry to a
speedy end
The statement of the Journal OF Paris
as to an armistce having been concluded
should be accepted with reserve, as all
the reports from other sources seem to
indicate that Turkey is delaying action in
the matter and the dispatches Of yesterday
from Athens and Constantinople direct do
not bear out the statement quoted above.

Times from Athens confirms the report

point Of danger. 1t is also possible. thinks
the CORES spondent, that they have been
sent to recover the retreat of the army TO
the old frontier.
