world, built for tercentenary celebration
Charpy received Instructions from
Paris, where Lord Curzon had been
in conference with Premier Poincare,
and announced that France adhered to
the terms proposed. Ismet Pasha,
losing thus the support he may have
counted on, had no alternative but to
yield, and this he did with good grace.
The Greek representatives sent note
saying they could not sign the pro-
tocol, but the Turks were assured that
it would be effective In three days
despite this refusal. Lets sign," said
Ismet. and the signatures were append
ed and the threat of war faded out.
Later Greece decided to sign.
The terms of the Mudania conven-
tlon are substantially as given in this
column week ago. Greece is given
fifteen days to evacuate Thrace us far
west us the Martha river, handing over
the civil powers to the allied authori-
ties, who will Immediately transfer
them to the Turkish authorities. Turk
ish gendarmerie in limited numbers
will control the territory for the time
being, with allied troops on guard to
prevent disorders, but within thirty
days after Greece gets out Thrace Is
to be turned over wholly to the Turks.
New neutral zones In the Chanak and
Ismid areas, In the COnstantinople pen
insula and In Gallipoil are to be de-
fined by mixed commissions and are
to be respected by the Angora govern
ment.
1t Is understood the peace confer
.ence will open on November l in
Scutari, or possibly in some city in
Italy. 1t Is probable that Bull
gaIia, Georgia and the Ukraine will
be invited to send representatives, but
not the Moscow government. Other
nations that are likely to have dele
gates, in addition to Great Britain,
France. Turkey and Italy, are Jugo-
Slavia, Rumania, Greece, Hungary,
Austria, Czechoslovakia and possibly
Poland.
HAVING avoided war with Turkey
1 without losing dignity, and re-
tanning for the present the actual con-
troll Of the Dardanelles, the British
government seems once more solidly
entrenched, and the talk of retiring
Prime Minister Lloyd George, which
broke out furiously few days ago. Is
dying down. His opponents ut home,
indeed, now have no fit man to sug-
gest as his successor, for Bonar Law,
upon whom they had counted, has re-
newed his fealty to the Welshman, as
has Lord Birkenhead. The Unionists
are said to have decided to stick by
the coalition and make 1t practically
a permanent party when the general
election comes, which probably will be
about Christmas. The premier, after
a week Of retirement In the country,
made notable speech Saturday In
Manchester, telling his opponents
what he thought of them and demand
Ing the support of the country for his
policies.
