His terms include complete Turkish

In fact, the terms virtually amount to
the status quo ante bellum in regard
to Turkey, both in Europe and in Asia

CONSTANTINOPLE. Turkey, July 9.
Common fear and distrust Of boil

settlement OF near east questions in
spite Of all the war preparations of
the Greeks. The allies here have be-
gun to realize that the bolshevist

Turkey to gain all the Mussulmans to
their side and start waging war on
the western countries from the east.
Proposals to BE Considered.
From competent sources the writer

On the other hand. it is believed
here that kemal IS now willing to
renounce many Of the demands
formulated last February, especially
with regard to the economic clauses
Of the treaty of Sevres, on account
of the strained personal relations be-
tween him and the bolsheviki. 1t is
an open secret that Moscow never
trusted the natioalist leader. and that
the red leaders. in an underhanded
way, supported Enver Pasha's follow

Recently it was reported that sew

and that this had induced the head
of the nationalists 10 make last
attempt to make peace with the allies
before throwing himself definitely
into the arms Of the bolshevfki by
signing the same conditions as were
agreed TO by Enver Pasha- That
would mean the complete surrender
Of Turkey to the soviet.
Foreign Office authorities here and
other leaders consider the situation
more optimistically than ever, and be-
lieve that the slightest sign OF good
