government to the necessity OF
keeping the Greek troops in Thracc

UNIQUE SETTING
FOR CONFERENCE

Mudania, Oct. 3.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press .)-Never was there a
stranger setting for a conference of
world powers than this little village,
on the Southern shores of the Sea of
Marmora. Even the presence of the
great warships of England, France
and Italy, seemed incongruous in the
tiny cove bclted with rocks and mud
which is Mundania's harbor for their
only ncighbors were few scattered
fishing boats and nondescript barges.
A few hundred yards from the
point selected for the anchorage
of the great Iron Duke lie the
gaunt skeletons, half submerged, of
two Turkish transports sunk by
British submarines during the
World War.
Nothing about M,udania is i'm
pressive, save the bulk of snow
capped Mount Olympus rising ma
jestically in the distance. The town
is squalid and depressing. The houses
are of mud, shaped like huge beetles
and the stores thrust their latticcd
windows into the narrow, crooked
streets.
There is no sound of railway or
motor truck to disturb. There is no
evidence of modern life, save two
telephone wires into the Offices of the
police chief and the mayor. There is
no evi dence of the modern world of
business except tho unpretentious Of
flee Of the Standard Oil Company.
The town has been of little i'm
portance since the days when it
was the port of entry for Brusa in
the period when that city was the
capital of the Turkish empire. About
year ago it flashed into Pre- inence
when the now deposed King Constan-
tine, Of Greece, made his triumphal
entry into Asia Minor in the vain
dream that this was to be the beginn-
ing of the reestablishment of the
Greek empire.
Such was the setting today of
the conference to which military
representatives Of the Allied powers
hurried across seventy miles Of
water from Constantinople.
Every effort was made to main
tain complete secrecy and privacy
for the conference and the bay
was as effectively barricaded as
though the surface of the seas of
Marmora were marked out with
barbed wire entanglcmcnts.
For 48 hours nobody has been
permitted to enter the area around
the gulf Of Gemlek without special
papers.
