MAY BRING DOWN THE MINISTRY.
Peace Negotiations Likely to Cause II
Change ut Athens.

PARIS. May ia correspondent of the
Journal at Lamia, Thessaly, telegraphed yes
terday that he had learned from official
sources that an armistice between Turkey and
Greece has been concluded He added: This
solution was mpatlently awaited by all, for it
is impossible to continue the war under pres
ent circumstances. The interest is 40 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 min
istry 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
Constantinope do not bear out the state
ment quoted above.
