PROPOSED Farley
To ARRANGE PEACE
NOW IS POSTPONED
England Stands Firm Against
Demands of KemaIists,
Mustapha Violates First
Mudania Agreement

LONDON, Nov. 6.-By the Asso-
ciated Press).-As a result of new
situation created in Constantinopln
by the demand Of Rafet Pasha that
the allied military occupation of the
city cease, the peace conference call
ed to be held at Lausanne November
10 has been POSTPONED, possibly for
a fortnight, it was announced here
today.
1t is stated in authoritative circles
that in no circumstances will the
British point of view regarding the
presence of allied troops in Constan-
tinople be changed. The British in
tend to uphold the Mudania armi-
stice agreement and remain in the
neutral zone with their troops.
ALLIES REJECT NEW
PLAN OF TURKS
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. g.
By the Associated Press).-The
Turkish Nationalistsy after over
throwing the Sultan's govern ment
and declaring him bereft oe all his
civil power, are now seeking fresh
conquests in a manner that may
bring trouble with the allies.
Last night, after talin2; over con
troll of Constantinople, the Nation
alists demanded withdrawal CT che
allied troops from the city and
served notice that alliel or Amer
lean sailors would not be permitted
to land from their warships at KEN
alist ports except by special permits
sion Of the Angora government.
The Turkish nationalist govern
ment also has handed a note to the
allied high commissioners here to
the effect that the warships of all
nations must ask it for authoriza-
ton to pass the Straits of the OAR
danelles, the Havas correspondent
here has been informed. They must
also salute the new government of
Turkey.
An extraordinary meeting 81 the
allied commissioners was quickly as
sembled to decide what stand theV
should take in the quicklyaltere
situation, and determined that they
would refuse categorically the Ma
tionaust demand for military evac
uation Of Constantinople by the al
lied forces.
Along with the demand for the
departure of allied troops, the Turk
ish Nationalist government, in ar
additional note, handed to the allied
commissioners by Hamid Bey, asked
that the Turkish railways in Eu
rore and Asia, which are under tenn
porary allied control be handed over
to the Angora government immedi
ately.
Over the weekend the National
lists bucked-up against the allies, not
only through written notes, but with
a show of physical power as well.
Disregarding Treaty
A seeming disregard for the agree
ments in the Mudania convention
that recently brought an end to
armed police in the Near East, TURK
ish gendarmes have now moved into
areas known as neutral. They are
advancing into the Chanak area,
where only a few weeks ago the
British dug themselves in to pre-
vent violation of the neutrality OF
that district. At Burgas, a few miles
from the Dardanelles, the Kemalists
have established an administration.
The allied high commissioners
have accepted the new regime in
Constantinople with Rafet Pasha
the military governor OF Thrace, as
governor of the city. And the Sui
tan's government has accepted its
downfall, although Mohammed VI
considers himself the lawful con
stitutional ruler of T~fkey. He has
not officially recognized the decision
of the grand national assembly al
Angora declaring his Sultanate al
an end.
His ministry resigned Saturday
evening and shortly afterward his
grand vizier telegraphed all the for
eign representatives of the Sublim4
Porte to leave the capitols to which
they are accredited and hand over
their archives to representatives OF
the AngOra government.
Caliph to Be Named
In Argora the religious committee
of the assembly is hurriedly trying
to choose the person it considers
most qualified to ascend the Osman
throne as caliph in succession to
MOhanmed VI.
Meanwhile the sultan still remains
caliph in the view of the national
lists, and Rafet Pasha has served no,
tice that any attack against his per
son would be regarded asian CffensG
against the Moslem religion.
