EUROPEAN ARBITRATION.
The Powers Will Insist Upon This in the
Event of Disagreement.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 26-At the
sitting Of the Peace Conference to-day,
the ambassadors presented the peace pre-
umfnaries drafted by the Powers. which
provide for European arbitration OF any
di0erences that may arise betweeen the
Greek and Turkish plenpotentlaries IN
arranging a dehnitye treaty. II IS stated
that the Powers viii insist upon the ac-
ceptance by the Porte OF this provision.
The desire OF Germany TO institute a
European control of Greek finances sull
hampers the settlement OF the indemnity
question. IL is understood that the NOlo-
I.arissa railway will be transferred TO the
Greek administration. with the stipulation
tbat the same facilities shall be granted
10 turkey FOR transportation Of troops as
arc granted to the Greek government.
This therefore dos not indicate an in
,.ntion on the part Of Turkey TO evacu-
ate Thessaly. but is a mere measure Of
economy.
