representatives of the allies at Mud
ania the terms on which they are
willing to agree to a suspension OF
military movements.
Constantinople dispatches say the
kemnlists proposals, an outline Of
which has reached the allied head
quarters there, were deemed discuss
able, but not acceptable, by coun-
Gil yesterday of the allied high COM
miasioners, ambassadors, generals
and admirals.
Franklin Boullon, the French en-
voy whose personal conversations
with Mustapha Renal Pasha made
the armistive conference possible,
expressed the belief that an agree

Demands Thrace.
The Turkish proposals are said to
include formal guarantees concern
ing the evacuation of Thrace by the
Greek army, occupation of the terri
tory by allied troops and transfer Of
the civil administration to Kemalists
functionaries.
Every London newspaper devotes
its principal columns to the meeting
and furnishes it, readers with its
own version Of what is likely to hap
pen, the main feature of the numer-
GUS forecasts and speculations being
their infinite variety. 1t is stated
from some sources that in addition
to the allied and Turkish generals,
the conference will include NJ. Frank

representatives.

seventy-five men headed by the chief
of police are searching this vicinity
for three men, one Of whom shot
and killed John Montgomery, a
Northern Pacific passenger train

it through the yards to prevent
tramps from boarding it.
According to the story he told the
police, he had just stepped to the
ground when three men who were
standing on the right of way opened
fire on him. He said he believed
only one man shot, although five
bullet wounds were found in his
body. He declared the shooting be-
gan without warning and that he
had no chance to return the fire.
