LONDON, oct. 6.-Fears OF war in
Asia Minor again blazed forth today
in the wage Of collapse Of the
Turco-allied armistice conference at
Mudania
The British declare that Henri
franklin Bouillon. FIanco-British-
Italian pacifcation emissa-y, was
responsible for the breakdown Of
the Mudania conference because he
demands that were impossible
The house was stunned by the
sudden collapse of the negotiations
as hopes had been raised that the
parley was on the point of signing
an agreement.
Following the breakdown OF the
conference at Muda MIA Generalsir
Charles Harrington. British COM
mander in Turkey. telegraphed to
the cabinet that the Turks were in
most truculent frame of mind 1t
was indicated that the Turks were
threatening hostilities immediately
1t was explained at Premier Lloyd
Georges office that the collapse of
the negotiations had been brought
about by the insistence of the Turks
that matters be taken up that Cen
eral Harrington had no authority
10 discuss.
The cause of the breakup OF the
deliberations was said to have been
Eastern Thrace. The Turks demand
ed the right to establish civil ad-
rninistration in Eastern Thrace i'm
mediately, fearing that diplomacy
might rob them OF their claims in
that district If they waited until
after the peace conference.
When he saw that the negotia-
tions were headed for collapse. Cen
eral Harrington sent a telegram to
the British cabinet explaining the
situation.
General Harrington reported that
the Turks were demanding their
own terms, feeling that their vic
tory over the Greeks gave them the
right to speak as "conquerors"
News that the conference had
broken down came as a great sur
prise here as all indications pointed
to the signing of an armistice pro-
tocol with arrangements for a peace
conference later IN the month.
General Harrington has returned
to Constantinople under instructions
from the British war office and has
been told to maintain the armis-
tice terms of 1918 in the advance
of any agreement at Mudania' .
The cabinet met at noon TO dis
cuss the situation. Officials ad-
rnitted that the Nea- East problem
has again assumed grave propor-
tions and that the menace Of war is
not yet past completely.
