BRITISH ARE ALARMED.
Great Prospect Of Fighting With
Turks Now Seen.
the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 2s.-British
government circles today took
grave view Of the situation In the
Dardanelles, which was regarded as
so critical as to overshadow the revo-
lutionary developments in Greece.
The opinion was expressed that there
is a greater prospect of fighting be-
tween the British and Turkish ma
tionaIists than at any previous time. :.
The cabinet was convened this
morning to consider q message from
commanding allied forces in Constan-
.inople, summarizing Mustapha Kemal
Pasha's reply to Gen. Harrington S
warning against violation of the neu-
trail zone along the straits. the re,
ply was considered to be evasive and
ambiguous:
Two Views OF Intention.
Two views may be taken of
Mustapha Ke1nars intentions, 1t is
stated. One is that under the cover
of his cavalry he may be bringing up
artillery and material. and doing all
he can to compel the British to fire
the first shot The less serious view
is that he is truthful in his statement
that he does not know where the
neutral zone extends.
It is pointed out that Gen. Haring-
ton is laboripg under tremendous
responsibility; He has been told to to
nse his own judgment regarding the
necessity of fighting to maintain the
Rritish edicts. 1t is understood he
has the full backing of the govern
1nent, which will support any action
he takes.
Falls to Recognize Zone.
In his reply Mustapha Kemal says
the Angora government does not
recognize any neutral zone. He COM
mains about the Greek warships
which have been anchored near Con-
stantinople, and also about the action
OF the British troops In the region
around Canak on the southern shore
Of the straits. Allegations are made
that the British have destroyed
Turkish roads and Turkish homes.
Mustapha Kemal also. claims the
right to cross the so-called neutral
zone and to enter eastern Thrace
Ing the Turkish Inhabitants. He con-
elIdes by saying he hopes to avoid
any conflict with the British.
An important concentration of Brit
Ish aircraft in the near east Is under
way. An augmented squadron now Is
en- route from Egypt for Constantly
aople. 1t includes sixteen first-class
machines and fifteen reserve planes
Another squadron of about forty
snacn1nes left Malta with the fleet
and, 1t is reported, three more SQUAD
fohs are in, readiness for' immediate
departure If developments necessttate

gave out what he says was the COM
pany's rate of return on fair value from
March to June, inclusive, under the
present rate Of fare. Here are his fig
ures, on which, he said, the federation
based its request for a cut IN fares:
Rate Of return for March. 9.61 per
cent for April. 11.32: for May, 11.46
and for June, $50. These figures, he
said, give an average fair value for the
four months of 1857 per cent. Mt

own sympathizers, especially with
generals unframed and inexperienced

1t is pointed out that the present
revolutionists in Greece are reported
to be not only pro-Venizelist, but pro-
ally, and further, that they are men
who believe heart and soul in the
greater Greece. 1t Is not believed that
they will yield Thrace, at least to the
Turks, without struggle.
Among military observers familiar
with the situation it Is not doubted
that an entirely new phase of the

that Mr.. Lloyd George was reluctant
to abandon the policy toward the
Turks which had been pursued for
three years, and that 1t was at a mo-
