eventful day when the Turks are to be reckoned with in peace treaty is indicated by the fact that British. French. American, Italian and Greek warships, with landing parties, have begun q great concentration at Smyr- na, Asia Minor. Allied troops also are being massed at Saloniki. The con- centration at Smyrna is connected with the mandate giving to Greece by the peace conference to administer the affairs of the Turkish seaport, while the belief is expressed in Paris that the massing at Saloniki is con- nected with the enforcement of the peace terms to be presented to the Ot- tomans, which it is thought probable will include a demand that the Turks leave Europe.
 The peace negotiations with Turkey, and also with Bulgaria, are expected to take place in Constantinople, Saloni- Xxi or some other city in the Near East
 The Chinese cabinet is reported to have rendered it's resignation, which President Hsu Shih Chang is said to have declined to accept. The con- ference at Shanghai at which endeav- ors were being made to arrange 8 peace between northern and southern China has broken up.
