WHEAT RISE is PREDICTED
High Treasury official Says Better
Prices Are Coming.

Washington, d. C.--Better prices for
wheat in the near future were fore
seen by high treasury officials. The
present low level, officials declared,
is bound to be bettered with improve
ment In transportation facilities and
the demand for wheat abroad which
will come later.
Inability of the railroads to trans
port wheat to seaboard has been part
ly responsible for low prices, 1t is
believed at the treasury, but there also
has been lack of demand in Europe.
While no world wheat shortage is fore
seen, it Is declared there will be need
for all the surplus wheat Of this coun-
try and Canada, particularly since
little Russian export wheat is expect
ed.

MILITARY MOVEMENTS
Allies Are Asked to Send Dele
gates to Mudania For
Conference.

Constantinople.--Orders for a ces-
Bation of military movements in the
Chanak region of Asiatic Turkey and
for the suspension of the activities Of
the Turkish irregular forces in Thrace
have been issued by Mustapha Kemal
Pasha, the Turkish nationalist leader.
The Turkish nationalist authori-
ties have agreed to an armistice con.
ference in Mudania and have request.
ed the allied high commissioners to
appoint delegates. The nationalists
will be represented by Ishmet Pasha
and possibly by Hamid Bey.
London.-With the virtual accept
ance by Mustapha Kemal Pasha Of a
conference at Mudania, the whole
near eastern situation is considered
emporarily easier. However, the fact
that Turkish troops were still concen-
trating in the Ismid zone, notwith-
standing that they had retired slight
ly in the Chanak zone, would indicate,
according to remarks made after the
British cabinets second meeting, that
"Kemal is still playing game"
The Mudania meeting will be a pure.
ly military affair, to arrange, accord.
ing to the original allied note to
Kemal Pasha, that the neutral zone
shall be respected and also to agree
upon lines behind which the Greeks
are to withdraw in Thrace, both points
pending the general peace conference
There will be present military repre-
sentatives of the three allied powers az
we'll as Greece and Turkey.
