1ne mum OF military activity on the
eve OF what may purport to be a
decisive. conflict for the domina-
ton of Asia Minor, with the Greeks
on the one hand and the Turkish
natlonafists on the other as the
most active combatants. The CITY
IS crowded with allied forces. and
additional British troops arriving
from Molta, while the imposing
Franco-British fleet is on the
scene.
From the Armenian frontier on
the one side and the Ionian sea on
the other the imposing armies are
ALREADY marching to the impend-
ing battles of the ancient fighting
ground which has echoed from time
1mmemorial to the tramp of op-
posing forces and the clash OF

Thus far bolsheviki troops in

be used if the opportunity pre-

The beginning Of the offensive,
it is feared here. will be the sig

and irregular troops in Thrace and
Asia Minor on the part Of both the
Turks and the Greeks. The Greek
