Failur1 Not Unexpected.

I i London, Oct. 3, (By Associated Press) British official circles attach high hopes to the meeting of the al- l lied personals with the Turkish na- tionalist emissaries at Mudania, but at the slime time point out that the criticalness of the situation has not yet entirely passed. Early reports that the conference was an danger of being wrecked I would not surprise London oficial- dom.
 Such reports ers considered likely to appear when the allies refuse, as l 1t is felt here they will, what is ex- pected to be the first demand of the Kemalists, namely, that the latter be allowed to enter Thrace. Former Premier Venizelos of Greece said today that he intended to go to Paris shortly. -'-
 Constantinople. Oct. (By Asso- ciated Press).-Only military matters will be taken up at the conference of allied and Turkish nationalists corn- manders at Mudania today, the po- lltical aspects of the situation being disposed of at a later meeting, ac- cording to M. Franklin Bcuillon whose recent trip to Smyrna, where he conversed with Mustapha Renal Pasha, was responsible for the sum- moning of today's conference.
 Two Big Questions.
 The two most important questions to be discuYed today, he said, are the demarcatioH of new neutral zone on the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles and at Ismid and the evacuation of Thrace He was confident that an agreement would be reached.
 Steps had been taken to have only responsible Turkish representatives at this and the subsequent conferences in order to prevent recurrence of the repudiation of the agreement made last year with Bekir Samy Bey. then nationalist foreign minister.
 Both Sides Sensible.
 The fact that there is common sense on both sides is the best augury for the success of the meeting he added Naturally many difficult points will arise but there Is no rea- son why we cannot solve them amic. ably, as the allies already have pledged to the nationalists all their legitimate aims. The whole question is one of form rather than of fact"
 Is KemaFs Friend.
 Mir. Franklin -Bouillon referred to Renal as "Mustapha Renal the vic- torious," and said that if he, Frank lin Bouillon, was selected to repre- sent France at the negotiations, 1t would be because he was Kemals best friend He declared that with certain modification the Turkish lead- CT was pleased with the allied pro- posals.
 The Turks" continued M. Frank lin Bouillon must accept the coun- cls of Europe not because the Europ- cans are superior race, but because they represent the old established and nations. The Turks must 'orget the past and accept the allied erms in a generous spirit and Europe md America should realize that there 6. Is a place in the heavens for the cres- 'ent as well as the cross. It is a duty 0 combat the sinister influences which are poisoning the atmosphere If America and Europe against the turks
 Tt is futile and foolish to oppose he cross to the crescent. Hatred or rusade will never bring peace. It is he duty of the world to make this he last war of this century.
 Turkey, in consequence of its re- ent victories now has no enemy 1o ace"
