Plans contemplating .he possible .u.
vasion by the Kcms'izts have been
promptly ma5e The Allied headquar.
tiers, which hitherto has been outside
the city, has been moved TO the Brit
ish headquarters. which formerly was
a colossal Turkish barracks located in
the heart of the European quarter.
This move was made 10 enable Gen.
eral Harrington to have ali his depart
ments and staff within immediate
touch.
The British general headquarters has
informed the correspondent that ali
measures for the maintenance OF order
have been completed. These measures
are of the most severe character.
Admiral Bristol has conferred with
embassy ard naval stats regarding fur
Their steps TO protect Americans and
naturalized citizens. Two officers are
on duty at the American Embassy
throughout the night and the building
is carefully guarded by marines. The
precautionary plans have been so COM
pletc that Admiral Bristol believes that
those folks at home who have relatives
in Constantinople need have no serious
cause for anxiety.
Consent Hinges on Thrsce
The Kemallsu Cabinet Council at
Smyrna, it is believed. will accept the
Allied invitation for peace confer
enco on condition that the evacuation
of Thgace begins Immediately and il
not followed by occupation by Allied
troops, and also that the return OF
Thrace 20 the Turks should be an 2bsc-
lutely settled fact in advance of the
conference.
1t is understood that the Cabinet re-
iecss tae proposal that the League OF
Nations have control cf Thrace, on tho
ground that II is q asahometan esun-
try and that Turkey IS not member
o tae league. The Kemaiists fursker
hold that there should be no demili-
tarization OF the shores OF the Sea OF
Marmora and that the question of the
Straits should be reserved Ger subse
| Quent discussion among represents
I uves OF Great Britain, France, Italy,
Russia, Rumania and Bulgaria.
The Cabinet lays stress on the i'm
portance of inviting Bulgaria, which
! is in vital need Of au outlet to the
l Egean Sea through Thrsee.
I The Allied High Commissioners to-
day presented Hamid Bcy, the Ma
! tionalist representative, with the All
lied invitation 10 peace cenftayence,
! for transmission TO Smyrna. The in.
vitation already has gone direct to
! Kcmal Pasha by cable. Contrary TO
past practice the invitation ignores the
| Sultan's government, which, it is as
I suaned, has lost the privilege Of par
ticipafion in the conference.
Tension in Capital Relaxed
Late dispatches from Paris, indicat-
ing better understanding among she
Allies regarding measures TO prevent
war ia the Dardsnelles area, have
served to relax the tension in the CAPT
tai, where, for an entire week. che peo-
pie have been Il prev 20 fears and
emotions of every variety. One Of the
most favorable signs Of the improved
situation is the cancellation of che de-
parture Of the families OF the Allied
High Commissioners.
