London, Sept, 27 (by the Associ-
ated Press. "A Greek revolution
has been added to the eyer-deepen-
ing Near Eastern difficulty ana
the allies are now faced with d
more complex situation than ever.
An impromptu cabinet meeting to-
night found the ministers in a very
pessimistic mood, a comforting as
peCt OF the critical position being
that no collision has as yet occurred
between the British and Turks in
the Chanak zone.
In other respects the situation
contains every element of danger.
The kemalists, who are on both
flanks of the British line at Chanak
apparently refuse to bulge and
even decline TO recognize the ex-
istence of neutral zone.
Situation Is Tense.
After the cabinet council tonight
the proposed peace conference was
described as mot on the horizon
at present" Yet until the confer
ence materializes every one here
realizes that the danger is eX-
itremely grave. Both British and
Turks are Fastening the concentra-
ton of their forces and the British
public is apprehensive that any mo.
ment might bring about an un-
fortunate incident, setting the op-
posing forces in action.
The people are anXiously asking
how the disappearance of King
Constantine and the new situation
in Greece will affect the question
of the Greek evacuation of eastern

also reported that General Bapals.
the new military governor of
Thrace, has gone to the revolution

region to consult with the leaders

news is received and a new Greek
government is formed, it is Imp1ssi-

will develop.
