months ago.. He won his battle by
letting the enemy think he was go
ing to retreat. then he about-faced
and counter-attacked. He has stated
that he used the tactics OF Jofre at
the battle of the Marine.
The victory is of vast Importance
for the Turk N~ationalists. and its po-
litical importance may be such as to
eventually drive the Allied troops out

here that those nations responsible
for not preventing the Greek often

of the success Of Greek arms that
they did not stop to consider the con-

Ismet Pasha is a nan of As and
