Sanguine Feeling In London
London, October 5.-The reports
of the first two days proceedings OF
the allied generals conference with
the Turkish nationalists at Mu-
DANA have produced a sanguine
feeling here, some believing that
an armistice clearing the way for a
peace conference is already as
sured.
1t was even reported yesterday
that a protocol establishing an ar
mistice had been actually signed,
but authentic confirmation of this is
lacking. The latest information to
The Associated Press contained in
which left CONSTANT
nople shortly before midnight, was
to the effect that, Notwithstanding
the generally hopeful status of the
situation, the question of Thrace
was still barring the way to settle
ment.
While the allies have agreed to
turn over Thrace to the Turkish
army in thirty days, they have not
acceded to the Turks request that
The western line of the Martha river
be occupied by allied troops as pro-

tack on the Turkish occupying army.
The determined attitude of the
Greek army and the new Athens
is also to be reckoned
with. Colonel Plastiras, chief Greek
delegate, made 1t plain to the other
conferees that the Greek military
leaders were determined to resist
every attempt to restore Turkish
sovereignty over oriental Thrace.
