Kemal Pasha will accept the allied note
inviting him to attend conference to
discuss peace in the Near East.
This statement was just made to me
by Hamid Bey, Kemals representative
here. Hamid Bey said he had just re-
ceived n message from Renal stating
clearly that he was prepared to agree
to the proposed conference.
Kemals message added that before
he made an official reply to the Allies
he would have to consult his national
assembly as its capital, Angora. He
is now in telegraphic communication
with Angora.
kemals reply to the Allies note is
not expected for a couple OF days. a
new Kemalist force to-day entered
Lapsah within the Dardanelles zone,
which caused Gen. Sir Charles Haring-
ton, the British commander, to send a
protest to Renal by wireless.

Press) Possible war between Great
Britain and Turkey was at least tenn
porarily averted this afternoon BY an
eleventh hour declaration OF the Renal
lists that they would respect the neutral
ity OF the straits pending an armistice
conference.
The declaration relieves the situation,
which even the British had admitted
was critical.
Gen. Harrington replied to Renal
Pasha thanking him for the declaration
that he would respect the neutrality OF
the straits and that he wished 60 avoid
a conflict The British Commander

cessity and declared that no shot had
been fred against the Turks In anger
ror would be except under his orders.
He concluded by expressing readiness
to meet Renal at any convenient place
to discuss an understanding.
The British expect TO receive the
Kemalist reply to Gen. Harington's
message Of to-day Thursday night and
the Turkish reply to the allied peace
proposals Friday afternoon.
