PARIS. Sept. "A by The Associated
Pressl. Henry Franklin Bouillon,
prior to mis- departure for Smyrna to-
day with the mandate virtually of
france, Great Britain and Italy to deal
with Mustapha Kemal Pasha, received
the following message from the Turk
ish Nationalist leaders:
II await your arrival. Your friend,
"MUSTAP1A KEMAL."
The swiftest cruiser Of the French
navy, the Metz, will take NJ. Franklin
Bouillon aboard at Toulon tomorrow,
and he will reach Smyrna Thursday
morning.
This has been victory for common
sense for about the first time in his
tory" said the French envoy to the
Associated Press correspondent to-day.
Much of the success in reaching the
agreement was due TO Lord Curzon,
whose handling of the negotiations was
in the finest spirit and worthy of Brit
ish craftsmanship.
IN. Poincare wrote the note to
Mustapha Kemal and so drew it up
that it is a communication of equals to
equals and not in the manner of supe-
riors threatening interiors"
NJ. Franklin Bouilion, who negotiated
an agreement with the Turkish Nation
alists last year, does not consider that
q settlement has yet been reached, but
believes that the agreement among
the French, British and Italian govern
and {hn hn~
made in meeting the Turkish National
list aims have brought about strong
probabilities of peace.
The agreement reached by the Allied
conference on the Near East is the
subject of extended comment in to-
days newspapers. The "Figaro' de-
elares that the agreement is an abso-
Lutte necessity and prevents the posi-
5ility of an Anglo Turk clash. The
Echo de Paris" congratulates Lore
Curzon for his spirit of Cancellation a:
demonstrated in the offer to support
the return Of Adrianople, which ha.
been the chief difficulty.
Not only success for the policy
which France and Italy have not ceased
TO practice i'm that particularly dan
gerous domain, the Orient. hut succes,
for the general cause Of peace" sayt
lie Temps which concludes that
Frances peaceful methods have show
themselves To be surer and more ef1
clent in dealing with the Turkish cues
tion than the methods of force laudet
by Premier Lloyd George
"Eurc9e, especially England. ha
been saved from great danger" h,
continued. ''I am not sure that Eng
land yet knows how great danger
There cannot De peace in Europe with
out peace in the East, and there cal
be no peace in the East without peac,

He learned before leaving that Turk
ish irregulars had crossed into tn,
neutral zone, but did not think tbi, hi
news serious, because, he said, thes,
