CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. rs (Associated
Press) ).-Immediate danger Of a rup-
ture between the Allies and the KEN
alsts seems to have been dissipated
to- day by a note from Angora. de-
ciaring that the terms of the Mu-
dania compact will be respected and
that there will be no insistence on the
withdrawal of allied troops from the
zones laid down in that agreement.
The allied authorities and the popu-
Iation of the capital had seriously
doubted the good intentions of the
Angora Government. and II is felt here
that the unfavorable reception of the
Kemalist demands throughout the
world caused Angora to reconsider its
decisions and adopt more concilia-
tory attitude.
While-all the clauses of the Nation
alist note are not wholly acceptable
or pleasing to the Allies. in diplomatic
circles it is felt that the danger of
war before the convocat.on of the
Lausanne peace conference has been.
averted.

Near East Relief to Move.
The Near East Relief is making plans
to transfer its headquarters, admins
trative forces and its warehouses, from
Constantinople to Greece. Uncertainty
over the political and military situation
