Danger in Fuss.

! London, Sept. 2S.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. An Exchange tele-
graph dispatch from Paris gives the
| report that the Angora assembly in
secret session decided TO notify Kemal
Pasha that it was unable to agree TO
any cessation of hostiities or partici-
patton in the peace conference until
restoration to Turkey of all its terri
tories, in accordance with the national
ist pact.
London. Sept. 2S.-The British cabi-
net held three successive meetings
Thursday and another meeting will be
held Friday morning. The fact alone is
sufficient comment upon the gravity of
the situation in the Near East. revealed
by Wednesdays bad news, which has
been amply confirmed and accentuated
by Thursdays dispatches.
The Greek revolution, which was
military and naval coup. seems to have
been carried out with surprising swift
ness and completeness. Information
regarding Constantine is meager, but

oner of th ereyolutionists.
The crown prince succeeded TO the
throne. which the victorious troops,
with their leaders at their head.
marched triumphantly into Athens.
which. pending the formation of new
government. is in the hands of mill
tary dictatorship in the shape of a tri-
nmvirate~ council of generals. One of
the generals is said to be the famous
General Nider, who for long time was
chief 'of staff and war minister under
the Nenizelos administration and
commanded the Greek expeditionary
corps operating in South Russia in
1918.
Apparently the revolution was blood
less. although an unconfirmed report
mentions the killing of one minister.
1t is assumed here that one of the
main objects of the revolution is to
maintain Greek rule in eastern Thrace.
Latest advices are to the effect
that there has been no collision be-
tween the Turkish and British forces
in the Chan8k zone and that seems to
be the only satisfying aspect of very
situation. Friendly mes
sages have been exchanged between
General Harrington, the British com
mander at Constantinople, and kemal
Pasha, discussing the respective view
points in an amicable manner. but the
Kemalists show not the slightest dispo-
sition TO recede from their position.
and refuse to withdraw their troops
from the Chanak sector.
On the other hand, according to gov
ernmeDt dispatches, and correspond
ents on the spot. an additional Turkish
force entered the neutral zone Thurs
day and there is a constant increase
in the Turkish troops in both the Cha
max and Ismid sectors. Not only do
the Kemalists refuse to retire from the |
neutral zone. ignoring all British warn
nigs, but they are reported to have
declared that they will not permit the !
British to build Notifications at GER
.ain points within the zone.
In Constantinople it is believed that
the situation has been relieved by the |
Kemalist agreement TO recognize the |
neutraHty of the straits. pending the
armistice conference. Another point |
On the peace side is that General Har-
ington still processes confidence in
X Kemals moderation. He sent a wire
ess message to the nationalist leader
It Smyrna Thursday evening asking
or an immediate personal meeting and
eaving the choice of place to kemal
oasha.
