The Associated Press. however. learns
that the ambassadors at constantinopis

concluded in about week on the basis
Of Turkeys acceptance Of the peace ne

There is now little doubt that the sui

o. Greek Thessalians are hiding in the
mountains. being afraid to return to heir
homes, fearing massacre and preferr!ng
death by starvation, exposure and dis
ease. The impeachment Of the leading
spirits of the Ethnike Hetaria, or ma
tional league of Greece. is mooted at
Athens, where it is said that Mayor ale
las intends to resign the leadership Of
that society. His excuse for the society's
conduct is that it was understood that
Great Britain would assist Greece in her
struggle against Turkey.
The parliamentary commission which
has been inquiring into the Transvah
raid is assailed by storm Of indigna-
ton. owing TO its decision not to press
the production Of the missing cable n.es-
sage between DIR. Rutherford Harris ana
Cecil Rhodes and certain parties in Eng
land. Newspapers Of all shades of opin-
ion view this decision with the greatest
distrust, and insist that the reputation OF
Great Britain is involved in thorough
