The first note deals with the visit
to Kemalist ports Of eight allied and
American warships and declares the
port authorities have been instructed
not to permit landing. In accord

request that these vessels salute the
Turkish flag.
The other note sets up claim for
the immediate handing over to the
Angora government of the Turkish
railways in Europe and Asia, which
are under temporary allied control.
Constantinople, Nov. (By the AS

t;,tive of the Angora government, has
ordered the allied troops out. In q

alton of the allied forces.
The Turks have torn up the Muda-
ma armistice convention and are ad-
vancing into the Chanak area, occu-
Pied by the British, and other neutral
zones.
Since noon Saturday the National.

The Christians in the Stambou,

Rafet Pasha sprang the news of the
change in government in a dramatic
manner on the allied generals. The
generals had summoned Rafet to dis

Kemalist gendarmes to the Gallipoli
