The War, Admiralty and Foreign
offices are still on tenter hooks over
the Eastern crisis tonight. Meanwhile
feverish activity goes on in military and
naval centers. The. artillery camps at
Salisbury Plain to-day were buzzing
with activity as the various units were
preparing to start But while the War
and Admiralty staffs are making full
preparations the entire efforts of the
Foreign Office are devoted to avoiding
trouble.
They have joined heartily with the
French efforts to dissuade Mustapha
Kemal from forcing clash at Chanak
or elsewhere in the neutral zone. Ad-
miral De Beck has been instructed to
cooperate in getting in personal touch
with Kep,al at Smyrna and urging the
withdrawal of troops from Eren-Keui.
He has been. instructed in his con-
ference with Kemal TO lay stress bn the
advantages of settlement and to re-
mind him that the Sultans heir is one
of kemal's hottest partsans and that
the abdication of the Sultan would leave
Kemal the undisputed sovereignty over
Constantinople with himself probably
Grand Vizier, 1t is also probable that
the Admiral has authority to assure
Kemal that once the terms are agreed to
and the peace conference is called the
British forces will be withdrawn from
Chanals, Ismid and elsewhere.
Assiduous efforts also are being made
to disabuse the Turkish mind of the
hA pvff oh GpH
the Greeks. Strong efforts are being made
here to discredit the tales that the
Greeks intend to fight If kemal comes to
Thrace with or without allied permis-
sion.
One official spokesman says that he
has private advices that 5000 Creek
soldiers In Thrace actually have sold
their arms and marched home. Even II
sn Anglo-Turk clash comes before
Chanak, officials here believe II can be
confined within the dimensions OF
local incident and the negotiations
will proceed. officials here are ready to
meet Kemal at the end Of the week. II
he desires, on the Sea of Marmora or III
Anatolia.
LONDON. Sept. 26 (Associated Press)
No formal Cabinet councils are being
held here, but the Ministers and defense
experts are meeting daily at the Coioniai
Office. dealing with military questions
and arrangements for removing reiu-
gees from Smyrna.
Little Is known here of the attitude
of Greece in. Thrace. Rumors ar pub
lshed to the effect that the Greek army
in Thrace is no more reliable than II was
in the Smyrna region Nevertheless the
Kemalists are objecting to- Greek mill
tary or naval movments. arguing that
such movements justify the Kemalists In
continuing their. military operations re-
gardless Of the conference or Regotia-
tons and until the proposed armistlce
conference at Mudania has settled the
terms. these matters will continue to be
a disturbing factor.
Reports through Paris tonight show
that the Ministerial crisis at Athens has
already begun. the Greek Governments

istry, including Venizelos. having re-
suited in the resignation of one Minister
and athers 81 re expected to follow.

SAYS BRITISH EASILY
CAN HOLD CHANAk
Gen. Maurice Considers II a
Very Strong Position.

CoNsrANTINoPLE Sept. 26 fAssoclated
Press) Major Gen. Frederick B. Maui
rice. British military expert. who has
just returned from Chanak, expressed
the opinion the British would be able
TO hold this key position against any
attempt to drive them out. lie thought
there was no question that Kemal would
accept the allied proposals with reser-
vations.
But" added the General, I'VE are
prepared. Our land. naval and air
forces are such that we can prevent
him from crossing the straits and in
vading Thrace and can successfully Keep
him out OF Constantinople.
II consider Chanak very strong po-
sition. Three lines OF trenches have
been dug. There are protected by
barbed wire and supported by strong
posts. Owing to the position OF the
ground it is easy to support the defenses
by gunfire from the fleet and by the
heavy artillery which has been brought
from Malta and landed at Kind Banr,
on the European side of the straits.
"Chanak, which is near the historic
plains of Troy, could be captured only
after heavy bombardment and an
attack BY a well organized force. This
means there is ample time for BRUSH
reenforcements now en- route to reach
bring up their troops"
Maior-Gen. Maurice said the power
of the Kemalist army should not be
exaggerated. 1t consisted, he said. OF
six army corps. one of which was
cavalry corps, comprising in all lSo,ooo
men, more than half of whom could be
regarded as fighting troops.
Its equipment is very varied: added
the General. embracing Turkish. Rus
sian. French and Italian arms 1t has
modern artillery and sixty airpdanes. IL
is not. however, to be compared In organ
ization and discipline with a first class
European army
British troops can be transferred
anirch quicker from Chanak to Constan-
tinople by sea than Kemal can march
his forces by land / estimate 1t would
take fully ten days for the sKemalists
to reach the Scutari positions7by land
as compared with twelve hours by sea.
Then. If he reached Scutari he would
find our positions strongly fortified and
protected by the fleet.
"kemal has really nothing to gain by
endeavoroing to fight when he can
probably secure by peaceful means the
achievement Of all the just demands
of Turkey. l am therefore confident
that good sense will prevail and that
there Will be no fighting"

East was made by viscount st. Davids,
who presided to-day at the semi-annual
meeting OF the board of directors OF the
Ottoman Railway. which operates from
Smyrna to Adm, in Asia Minor. The
Viscount said:
''rhe Greeks in their retreat burned
every village they saw. They robbed
individual Turks. and when these re-
sisted they killed them. They did all
this near the front and without military
necessity. They did 1t out OF sheer
maliciousness. Our reports are that 1t
was done systematically by regular
troops under orders. 1t was done by
the malice of men who knew they could
not hold the country. and meant to make
1t worthless for any one else
The Greeks took from Smyrna a num-
ber of leading Turks and deported them
to Athens. Viscount st. Davids declared.
