VICTORY FOR
GREEK ARMS
HIS FORECAST
Greek Commander in Anatol-
ia is Prepared for Next
Turk Offensive
(Ry The Associated pressD

SMYRNA, July Ia A complete
victory of the Hellenic arms over the
kemalists Of Turkey in the next Of
fensive was predicted today by Ma.
jor General Anastasios. Papouias, tn.
commander in chief Of the Greek
froces in Anatola.
His army. he declared, had been
enormously strengthened siucc the
repulse at Eskishehr. and only by
pure chance could the Turks now be
successful. He stated further that
his troops outnumbcred the kemal-
lists by almost three 10 one and that
his army was so mobile that IL could
attack st any point along the 500
kilometer front.
The Greek gencralissIno, whose
appearance suggests the old civil war
type Of soldier, received the cor
respondent in the ancient Turkish
barracks overlooking Smyrna harbor.
He had just finished admonishing "A
group Of officers. telling them they
must put aside factional political
feelings, think only Of their country
and leave politics 10 Athens. He ex
horted them that they must consider
themselves as fathers and brothers 20
their men, and be true TO their duty
TO God and the king.
General Papoulas is about g. years
cd, of commanding physique and he
has impressive features and great
charm Of manner. He has been
soldier for thirty years andis held in
great affection and esteem by his
men.
I'VE are anxious Ia show the world
that this time We can crush the Turk
AZ gwen fair chance" said the gen
eral gu'nely. Our soldiers are
impatient 20 begin the fight Only
this moment | received a message
from than urging that they be sent
forward. We want 10 put an end 10
kemal and his outlaw government.
Our soldiers seek redress for
the lives of their brothers and sis
ters who have been the victims Of
Turkish rapacity and murder. Our
king is now with US: in his presence
our soldiers will find renewed in
spiration and strength. Naturally.
| cannot say when the offensive
wi begin; but We are prepared. and
] have no fear Of the result"
The Greek commander in chief
spoke in high terms Of the work Of
the American Young Mems Christian
Association. which. he said. had can
teens in all parts Of the zone from
Smyrna TO the. front.
Il cannot appralse in words the
value Of their material and moral
stimulus 10 our men. The best ap-
probation Of their devoted work j. to
be found in the hearts Of our sol
diers themselves. who look upon Am
erica as the bulwark Of democracy
and humanity and the protector Of
the world" the general declared.
The strength Of the Kemalis:
forces was placed by General Pap
oulas at between 10000 ana 10000.
He did not believe that they were re-
cciving much assistance from either
the Russian 10 sheviki or the Ger
mans. He said he was sure that his
own army was given no material aid
by the British, a. has been frequent
