The staff of Mustapha Renal Pasha,
the national leader, has decided to
reinforce the nationalist army on the
Smyrna Brussa front to 100000 men
, for the purpose of an attack on the
Greek forces.

CONSTANTINOPLE, December u.s..
The Turkish nationalists are active
on all fronts. Skirmishes indicate
that the various detachments have
been reinforced, but that they are
not sufficiently strong to carry out
operations on a large scale. In Syria
a French column, under Col: Goubaud,
advancing from Aintab to Latakieh.
was attacked by an Arab and nation

ment of nationalist regulars. The
French suffered a serious reverse and
were compelled to withdraw with

were hurried up, as the French be-
lieved that if the attack was not
punished. others of a similar nature
would occur. The rebel Arabs are
said to be eager to fight.
On the Ismid front where the
morale of the Greek troops is report
ed to be had, a French destroyer
sends an account of an artillery
fight near the town of Ismid. The
region is occupied by two battalions
of Greeks who are now yielding
ground to the Kemalists. These have
taken several towns including Kan
deere and Chile. 1t is reported in
Turkish quarters that the Greeks are
sending the patients in the Brussa
hospitals to Mudania.
Greek Forces Weakened.
On the Smyrna front. where the
Greek troops are. supposed to be
holding their own, there has been
little activity, hut political activity
has weakened the line. The govern
ment has been compelled to demobi-
}ize several regiments which have
of the war. and to replace them with
recruits freshly arrived from Greece.
The nationalists, after their recapture
of Ouchak and other minor localiti es
have confined their activity to in
significant actions. Allied officers
the morale of the Greeks has suf1
fered much lately. They believe that
the arrival Of King Constantine at
the front would improve matters oon-
siderably.
From Angora it, is learned that
Mustapha Renal Pasha has not
changed his attitude. He will not
accept reconciliation proposals unless
the allies agree to his demand that
Smyrna be evacuated, that the city
of Constantinople be given up by al
lied military forces and that Thrace
be made an autonomous state under
a government to be established later
