ITALIAN DELEGATION returns
One Most Generally Credited Relates
to the Evacuation Of ConstAn-
tinople.

Constantinople. - Abruptly. though
not Unexpectedly, the Mudania con-
ference came to halt. When It Will
be resumed is a matter Of conjecture.
Brigadier General Harrington. COM
mander of the allied forces and head
of the allied delegation, returned on
the bsttleship Iron Duke. and the ltaE
ian delegation also came to Constan-
tinople. 1t is understood tho allied
generals will go into conference with
the high commanders on certain 80.
rious difficulties which have arisen al
Mudania. 4
Various explanations for the sep.
aration Of the delegates are given IN
the rumors which quickly developed
here. The one most generally credit
ed relates to the evacuation Of Con.
stantinople. According to unofficial
information, Ismet Parma. tho nation
alist representative, suddenly raised
the question at the afternoon confer.
epce OF the evacuation of Constants,
nople.
General Harrington replied that
that would come after the conclusion
ofthe peace treaty, as set forth In the
Joint allied note. Ismet insisted re-
peatedly on an earlier evacuation, and
II was found impossible to reach An
agreement for the present on this inn
portant point.
General Mombelli, Of Italy, sup
ported General Harrington, but tho
French delegate, General Charpy,
was non-committal.
At this juncture, M. Franklin. Bouil|
Ion, French envoy, declaring that hs
had been instructed by the French
goernment to support the Turkish do
mand. The discussion grew very warm
and the allied generals adjourned ts
confer with the commissioners at. Com
stantinople. -,
Both General Harrington and Gem
eral Mombelli have asked for further
instructions from their governments,
II these are received In time, 1t 10 pos,
sible that the conference may be re,
sumed Immediately.
Another report was current, but ac1
cepted as only partial explanation,
that the stoppage Of the conference
sessions was due to the necessity oi
the Greek delegates referring all mat
ters for discussion to their government
at Athens.
