COMPIICATES THE srruArToN
Fighting In Eplrus Tends to Hamper tn
Negotiations fpr Peace.

Fighting In Eplrus Tends to Hamper the
Negotiations fpr Peace.
London. May 15.-The correspondent
Of The Times at Athens says: "The
resumption of offensive operations in
Epirus greatly complicates the situation
and tends to hamper the negotiations
for peace. The evident intention of
the Greek commanders is to capture the
Turkish positions there in order to show
that they have not been defeated. In an
interview yesterday NJ. Ralli, the
premier, repeated his statement
that humanitarian motives are respon-
sible for the advance in Epirus, but he
did not deny the advantages which
might be hoped for from the capture Of
Prevesa and the occupation Of the ad-
joining Turkish territory.
I'VE are still at war;" he said, "and
until an armistice is concluded Greece
retains her liberty of action. We can
not allow our activity to be confined
to Thessaly, where the Turkish are pre-
ponderant. The powers have hindered
US from acting in Crete, but Greece
cannot be barred everywhere nor COM
PEELED to restrict her operations to n
limited area. We have done our best
to obtain an armistice, and until it is &C.
corded we must act where and when we
can.
IF we have not already prosecuted
the war at various points and among
the islands of the Aegean 1t is only be-
cause we have taken into consideration
the suffsrings to which the Greek popu-
lation might be subjected" The gov
ernment apparently thinks that r. re-
newal of the war will hasten instead
OF retarding the armistice. This calcula-
ton may prove to be correct; but it is
more likely that Turkey will seize upon
it as an excuse for delaying the arnl;s-
tice and will deal a crushing blow in
Thessaiy.
London, May 15.-Except for the fight
| ing in Epirus the Turco-Hellenic situa-
| tion is virtually unchanged. 1t is tolera-
| bly, certain that only few Greek troops
remain in Domokos, the bulk Of Con-
stantin's army having Withdrawn to
Lamia, where it will be in closer COM
munication with General SmoleAski.
| This probably explains the reported
| movements of the Turkish army, as a
number of Edhem Pasha's troops have
been marching from Triklsala to Volo.
The fighting in Epirus has been indie
| cisive. 1t is believed that Nicopclis IS
not yet captured, but only the heights
| commanding the town.
The Greeks made pretext Of the pro-
lection of the peasants. but they evil
| IDENTIFY have information as to the rea-
sons for the apparent inactivity OF the
Turks in Epirus. This is the seventh
| time the Greeks have attempted to ad-
| vance to Janina and have met with a
repuise which the Turks have never
followed up.
