TURKS ACCEPT
PEACE CONDITIONS

nstantinople, Sept. 26 (By the
Associated Press) The reply of the
Turkish Nationalists government II
the allied peace note has been com
pleted and comprises the acceptances
of conditions laid down at the Paris
conference, according to Essad Bey,
aide de camp to Mustapna Kemal
Pasha, who has arrived here from
Smyrna.
Athens, Sept. 26 (By the Associat-
ed Press Premier Triantafillakos is
planning to strengthen his cabinet
still further, according to newspapers,
proposing creation of national
ministry representing all the parties
to serve, as special envoy in the
entente capitals.
Constantinople, Sept. 26 (By the
Associated Press).-The armistice
conference to arrange a cessation of
/, hostilities between the Greeks and
Turkish Nationalists is to be held at
Mudania about November 2 provided
the Angora government accepts the
provisional peace terms outlined in a
note from the allies.
London, Sept. 25 (By the Associas-
ed ress).-Smiles, which wreathed
Lord CurZons face as he departed
from the prime ministers official resi-
dence in Downing street this after
noon after making detailed repo,t {
to the cabinet of his Paris mission
typitied the general easing up of the
oenscness in the Near East situation
as viewed from the British capital.
Everywhere in official circles there
are expressions of relief that the war
cries of last week have been replaced
by old school diplomacy, with such ar
cd hand as Curzon directing British
poicy, and although there is no rec
ord that the note has yet been deliv-
sred TO Mustapha Pasha, the Nation
altst leader, it is intimated that his
refusal to come to terms is extremely
unlikely.
The view is held in authoritative
allied circles that immediate accepa-
ance would be against Turkish trad
ing propensities. 1t is said that the
Turk in bargaining automatically or
otherwise always wants first offer
made TO him. Then he holds the other
to it and angles for further conces-
sions. The afiies nave made Kemai
Pasha a definite offer OF Constanti.
nople, Thrace to the Martha and
membership in the league Of nations,
but it is believed that Kemal will
probable reply with demand for Il
Of eastern Thrace and complete re-
tirement of the British from the neu-
tral zones before the Turks enter int }
u peace conference
1t is taken for granted. however,
both in Paris and London that no re-
ply will be Forthcoming from the Ma
tionaiist leader until he sees A..
Franklin n-Gouillon, the French cnvoj,
who is expected to arrive from
Smyrna Thursday.
That all danger is not past is evi-
dent from today's dispatch reportinE
a new Kemalst incursion in the
Chanak zone, necessitating a furthc:
warning from the British commander
I there. Details of the affair are
meager, and it may not be serious
since, according to The Times Chanak
, correspondent, small Turkish cavalrg
patrols were still in the zone yester-
day, but he anticipated no difficulties
rs the Turks were showing genuine
Gesirc to be reasonable.
Even when Kemals reply is received
there are likely to be prolonger nego-
tiations, for it is believed the Kemal-
lists will demand the admission of
Russia and Bulgaria to the confer
ence, which in itself would provide
ample opportunity for protracted dis
cussions. In the meantime the Brit
ish government is not relaxing its
military and naval preparations.
More battalions of guards are making
ready Aldershot for early embark
alton.
