Turkish shipping on the Dardanelles would affect the Ottoman troops at Sid-el-Bahr, who would not be con- cerned Tn the armistice. l had not put no condition regarding British vessels at Sid-el-Bahr, and, conse- qltently, no condition concerning Turkish shipping supplying the Turk ish troops at Si-del-Bahr ought to be exacted.
 My condition relative to the Brit ish vessels off Kaba Tepe and Ari Burnu were that none but hospital ships were to weigh anchor during the period of truce, or were to steam in or out of the territorial waters of Turkey. Sir Ian was acquainted with my decision not to yield that point, His reply was that he would not aftlx his signature to so preposterous q demand. My answer was that there would be no armistice except the con- dition was accepted.
 Work Both Ways.
 The arguments of humanity work both ways, so finally asked permIs- sion of my superiors to waive Sir 1an's signature to that condition, ac- cepting instead the promise that the condition would be observed without forming part of protocol, reserving for the Turks the right to open hos tilities without notice in case a single British vessel, other than a hospital ship, undertook to change its loca- ton during the armistice.
 The rest of the story is simple enough concluded Major Kema,, Next day the line of sentries was established and the dead were buried. For nine hours wc had peace at Ari Burnu.

"A long wrangie ensued From this I gathered that the British were under the impress sion that we needed the few rifles on their side of the line. I assured them that such was not the case.
 Bodies Not Searched.
 Incidentally this led to a discus sion as to what was and was not to be taken from the dead. The Brit ish proposed taking all cartridges from the dead. I took the stand that all dead should be turned over with out a search for the few cartridg es likely to be found on them. That point I gained after making it clear that above the law of military neces- sity stood the higher law of humanity, which to my mind forbade absolutely so wanton an act as the search of a body already we'll advanced in disso- lution
 But the British wanted each side to keep such rifles as were found. I insisted that they be exchanged. We finally agreed to exchange all rifles minus their locks.
 During the armistice the British were to suspend all movement of their vessels. On this point Sir Ian Hamilton, the commander of the allied forces had to be consulted. The general sent back the reply that he could not accept that condition.

 To 1Exchanae Dead.

"As is the practice during armis- tices the terrain between the two hos tile lines was to be divided into two equal parts by a line of sentries. Over this boundary the dead were to be exchanged, that is to say, We would bring across this line such British dead as were found on our part of the terrain and the British would do likewise, each party bury ing, naturally, its own dead on it's own side of the line of sentries

These were that we grant an arnistice for the purpose of burying the dead, many of whom had lain between the Turk ish and British lines for 29 days since April 23. The stench had be- come unbeatable to the British, the officer stated, and a period in which all military operations were to be suspended by both sides, and in which the bodies might be inferred, seemed very desirable.
 Fired Upon by British.
 "I transmitted these wishes to my superior, after having made arrange ments for another meeting with the parliamentary on another day. I was to come to a certain spot and all British troops were to be in- structed not to fire upon me. Un- fortunately, this part of the program was not carried out When I, on the following day, came to the place which had been selected for our meeting, I was fired upon by the British artillery with shrapnel. I suppose my coming had not been an- nounced everywhere, at least, I pre- fer to suppose that.
 There was the usual blind-fold- ing, and little later I met the Brit ish officers who were to act for Sir Ian Hamilton. I presented our con- ditions for the armistice and a dis cussion of them took place immedi- ately. '.
