Charpy received instructions from
Paris, where Lord Curzon had been
in conference with, Premier Poincarc,
ana announced that France adhered to
the terms proposed. Ismet Pasha,
losing thus the support he may have
counted on, had no alternative but to
yield, and this he did with good grace.
The Greek representatives sent note
saying they could not sign the pro
tocol, but the Turks were assured that
it would be effective in three days
despite this refusal. Lets sign" said
lsmct. and the signatures were append
cd and the threat OF war faded out.
Later Greece decided to sign.
The terms of the Mudanin conven.
ton are substantially as given in this
column a week ago. Greece is given
fifteen days to evacuatc Thruce us far
west us the Maritza river. handing o"cr

1t is understood the pcacci confer
cnce will open on November l in
Scuturl, or possibly in some city in
Italy. 1t is probable that Bul-
garin, Georgia and the Ukraine will
be invited to send representatives, hut
not the Moscow government. Other
nations that are likely to have dele
France, Turkey and Italy, are Jugo-
Slavia, Rumania. Greece, Hungary,
Austria. Czechoslovakia and possibly
Poland.
HAVING avoided war with Turkey
without losing dignity, ana re-
tanning for the present the actual con-
troll OF the Dardanclles, the British
government seems once more solidly
cntrenchcd, and the talk Of retiring
Prime Minister Lloyd George, which
broke out furiously few duys ago, is
dying down. His opponents ut home,
indeed, now have no tit man TO sug-
gcst us his successor. for Bonar Law,
upon whom they had counted, has re.
newcd his fenity to the WclShman, as
has Lord Birkenhend. The Unlonists
are said to have decided to stick by
the coalition and make 1t practically
permanent party when the general
election comes, which probably will be
about Christmas. The premier, after
week of retirement in the country,
made notable speech Saturday in
Manchester. telling his opponents
what lie thought Of them nnd demand
Ing the support Of the country for his
policies.
u UCHAREST was EN- fete Saturday,
- when King Ferdinand and Queen
Marie were formally crowned as rulers
Of the Kingdom Of Rumania which the
war enlarged by the addition Of Bes-
sarnbia and Transylvania. The cere.
monies were gorgeous and many other
nations were represented by princes
and high dignitaries. In view of the
fact that soviet Russia still threatens
Rumnnia. 1t is worthy Of note that
France sent Marshal Foch and with
him General Weygand. who organized
Polands successful opposition to the
Bolshcviki two years ago.
