General Sir George F. Milne of the
British army.
This long looked for military dem
onstration by the Allies against Tur-
key was carried out with only one I'M
toward happening, a serious clash at
the War office, where. the Turks re-
sisted the Allied troops.
An exchange of shots resulted, in
which several Punjabi OF the British
East Indian forces and few of the
Turks were killed.
n excitement caused by the occu-
patton quieted down before darkness,
which brought absolute calm.
Fleet Guns Perfect.
The landing Of the forces of occupa,
ton was carried out under the guns Of
in the ~Bosphorous.
The forces included 1000 blue jack,
cts and marines from the British war
ships, and %contingents from all the AL,
lies represented here. Indian detach.
ments having Moslems on their rosters
were among the troops taking part.
The Allied high commissioner has
issued a statement declaring that the
Allies have no intention of destroying
the authority of the Sultan but wish
to strengthen his power. 1t also says
the Allies will adhere to their inten
ton not to deprive the Turks of Con
stantinople but that they may be com
PEELED to modify their decision if mas.
sacres and disorders continue.
Occupy War and Naval Posts.
The Allies have occupied the minis
tries of war and navy and assumed
