uaiists. in an ultimatum to the Al
lies to-day, demanded the occupation
of Thrace by 2:a0 o'eloc. this after
noon, but later extended the time
limit to $50 o'clock this evening.
Ismet Pasha, the Turkish Nation
alist representative in Mudania, def
uitely rejected this afternoon the AL
lied protocol for the occupation of
Thracs by 1000 Allied troops. He
also declined the establishment Of AL
lied control commissions in Thrace.
The Turkish demand is for imnle-
diate occupation of Thrace without
foreign control.
The foregoing dispatches were re-
received yesterday afternoon. Late
last night dispatches from Con-
stantinople and Mudania indi-
Gated that the difficulties at the mill
tary commanders conference were
being smootho3 over and that the
danger Of an immediate crisis was
lessened.
Allied Diplomats Hopeful
Although no definite news has yet
been received from Mudania. where the
Allied representatives have gone again
to renew their conference with the
enYogs Of the Turkish Nationalist goa
ernInent, at midnight tonight there
vas distinct current of optimism
among the Allied diplomats here le-
s-.si a sstbie successful outcome
6 the negotiations.

iereace was 70 place Tor civilian and
politician.
sAilitary men can get along to-
getasr, said a French colonel, "but
one politician can make d rluddle of
whole Fpom ful. Of mere soldiers"
Most Of the Italians here expressed
regret over orders received from Rome
erecting General Mombell, the Italian
representative at Mudania, to support
the Turkish claims. General Mombel-
us sturdy attitude at Thursdays

mlration IN many quarters and was
the bass for sudden springing up
Of a friendship between the Italians
and English in Constantinople.
Expect Turks to Stand Firm
An announcement received from
London that former Premier Venizelos
Is willing to have the Greek troops
eTac ote eastern Thrace, thus permit
ting the early establishment of Turk
lsh evil administration there, was con-
sideFed as offering a way out Of the

nit the presence in Thlace OF an Allied
control commission.
