British government circles this
morning took n grave viewB Of tho
situation in the Dardaneiles which was
regarded as 50 critical as TO over-
shadow the revolutionary deveIop-
ments IN Greece. The opinion was ex-
pressed that there IS a greater prospect
Of fighting between the British and
Turkish Nationaiists than at any pre-
vious time.
The cabinet was convened this
morning to consider a message from
Brig. General Sir Charles Harrington.

Constantinopie. summarizing Mustspha
Kemnl Pasha's reply TO General Har-
ington's wornlne against viola-
ton of the neutral zone along tbs
straits. The reply was considered "a

Two views may be taken OF Mus
tapha Kemal's intentions, II ls stated.
One is that under the cover 81 his
cavalry he may be bringing up ae-
tlllery and material, and doing all hs
can TO compeI the British TO FIRE the
FIRST shot. The less serious view IL
hat he is truthful in his statement
that he does not know where the ns,i-
trail zone extends.

which have been anchored near Con-
stantinopie and about the action Of
the British troops in the region
around Chanak on the southern
shore OF the straits. Allegations are
made that the British have destroyed

| Mustapha kemal also claims tho
right to cross the so-caIled neutral
zone and TO enter eastern Thrsce
where he claims the Greeks are kill
ing the Turkish inhabitants. He con-
cludes by saying he hopes TO avoid
any conflict with the British.

FRANCE FEARS RESULT
OF DEFENDING THRACE

Paris. Sept. 2s.--F'rances policy in
the Near East as laid down in tho
note she sent to Kernal Pasha jointly
with the other allies has not been
modified by the overturn in Greece.
1t was announced after a cabinet
meeting today.
The French government IL greatly
concerned over the reported decision
OF the new Greek government to de-
fend Thrace. Such a decision. IL IS
believed, would be certain 20 react
unfavorably on the kemalists and the
dispatch of Greek forces to eastern
Thrace would almost certainly be fol-
lowed by a belligerent move on the
part of the Turks in Asia Minor and
disturbances in Constantinople. The
situation. it is thought. will have tha
effect of delaying Kemars reply 10
the allied note several more days.
NJ. Franklin Bouillon, the French
emIssary 70 the Nationalists, is ex-
pected to see Kemai at Smyrna to-
day or tomorrow. He viii use tho
entire influence of his government to
try and keep the Nationalist leader
from taking any action with regard to
Thrace until the intentions OF tho
Greek government are clearly es-
tablished.
After his interview with the French
diplomat, Kenal, II is understood, will
leave Immediately for Angora where
the Nationalist assembly will vote on
the Allied communications. The fear
is expressed that ifs Greece. meantime
begins plans for the defense OF Thracs
the assembly viii refuse TO accept tho
allied terms.

tention of modifying the allied atti-
tude toward Greece in view Of the
abdication of Constantine.
