FINAL PEACE SOUGHT

(By Associated Press)
MUDANIA, Oct 1.-THE final
agreement on all points was reached
by the conferees at II O'Clock last
night after two sessions of the dele
gates. Then followed a recess while
the secretaries made final copies which
the delegates verified, and it was about
daybreak before the final signatures
were affixed.
The agreement is under date of mid
night tonight and goes into effect ac-
cording to its final clause three days
after signature, that is, midnight, Oct.
14-15.'
The Greeks refused to sign the con
vention because they were out of touch
with their home government, and the
terms were not fully approved By

ever, will look to the allies that the
Greeks fulfill the conditions of the
armisuce and the allies gave assur-
ances to that effect

asked for 10000 but a compromise was
reached on the former figure.
The Thracean boundary as specified
by the agreement is from the mouth
of the Martha along its course to the
Bulgarian boundary. The clause to
which the Greeks object on this sub
ieet is presumably one referring to a
small but important slice of line along
the railroad near Adrianople

zone was decided upon and was in

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. lit is
reported that the Turkish Nationalist
ministry of finance has issued a state
ment declaring that all conventions,
treaties, contracts and DEGREES pro
mulgated by the government of the
sultan since March 16, 1920, are re
garded by the Kemalists as null and
void. The dates referred to mark the
allied occupation of Constantinople af-
fairs, but there would be no change in
the membership of the mission.
LONDON, Oct. 11-With the armis-
tice just signed at Mudania, putting
an end to the warfare between the
Greeks and Turkish Nationalists, plans
for the conference designed TO bring

atmosphere. Two conferences to this
end are being arranged, one to fix
the general Near East terms, and an
other to provide for naturalization OF
the straits of the DardaneIles
