Constantinople. July 27.-At the sit
ting Of the peace conference the em-
bassadors presented the peace prelimi-
naries drafted by the powers. which pro-
vide for European arbitration OF any
differences that may arise between the
Greek and Turkish plenipotentiaries In
arranging a definite treaty.
1t is stated that the powers will in
sist upon the acceptance by the porte
OF this provision, and its reception
therefore by the sultan will be highly
significant.
The desire Of Germany 70 institute a
European control of Greek finances still
hampers the settlement of the indem-
nifty question.
It is understood that the volo-Larissa
railway viii be transferred to the Greek
administration, with the stipulation
shat the same facilities shall be grant
ed to Turkey for the transportation OF
troops as are granted to the Greek gov
ernment
This therefore. does not indicate an
intention on the part of Turkey to evat-
uate Thessaly, but is merely a measure
of economy.
