Asia Minor
 War Flames Again Crack
Failure of Turco-Allied Armistice Commissioners to Reach Agreement Alarms London Official Circles-Collapse Comes When Agreement Appear ed in Sight.

London, Oct. 6-Fears of war in
 Asia Minor again blazed worth to-
 day in the wake of the collapse
 of the Turco-Allied armistice
 conference at Mudania. It was
 admitted by Downing street offi-
 cials that the British fear an of-
 fensive by the Turks against the
 British at Chanak on the Asiatic
 side of tho Dardanelles.
 The British declare that Henri nn-Bouillon, "Franco-British- Italian pacification emissary' was re- sponsible for the breakdown of the Mudania conferences because he had influenced the Turks to make demands that were impossible.
 The public was stunned by the sud- den collapse of the negotiations as hopes had been raised that the barley was on the point of signing an agree ment.
 Turks Unreasonable Demands.
 London, Oct. 6-(By A. Pit was officially stated that from the British point of view the Turks were demand ing more than was offered in the AL lied note, and on the, other hand that they were not accepting the conditions of that note. It was asserted that the Turks want to obtain the concessions of the note without the conditions.
 The officials decline to give in de- tail what the Turks were demanding.
 The cabinet debated the situation in it's entirety. but the main point ap- peared to be the question of Thrace. It is understood the British view is that there should be some considera- tion given. the Greek minority popu- lation there.
 There seems to be no difficulty over the question of the Chanak area, which the British have been occupy ing.
 To Continue Farley.
 Constantinople. Oct. 6.-(By The A. P. P.)-After conferring for most of the night with the high commissioners and military experts here, the Allied generals this morning prepared to leave again for Mudania for a re- of the armistice conference.
 The result of the deliberations here was not announced. 1t was conceded that the situation was very serious, but it was still hoped that a basis for common agreement among the Brit ish, French and Italian delegations cc uld be reached.
 The warships bearing the Allied delegates were scheduled to leave at noon. arriving at Mudania at about 2:3O o'clock.
