cuation of Thrace; second, the estab-
lishment OF allied garrisons in the

Deny Port Sought
ATHENS, Oct. 3.-Jugo-Slavia to-
day officially informed the revolution
airy committee in charge of the gov
ernment that reports she will seek
territorial outlet through the AEGEAN
Sea was untrue. 1t was suggested at
the same time that assurance of free
port right at Salonica to the Greeks
would be desirable. This is for the
purpose of allowing Serbian ships to
receive merchandise by way of the
Mediterranean, it was pointed out.
Soviet Protests
MOSCOW, Oct. 2.-The Soviet gov
eminent sent a note to Great Britain,
Italy, and France today, protesting
against the blockade of the straits of
the Dardanelles.
WASHINGTON.-Sov Russia is
prepared Immediately to throw more
than 100000 soldiers in the field to
aid the victorious forces of Mustapha
Kemal in further conquests according
to official information.
If Mustapha really means his
threats to take Constantinople and to
carry out his other drastic demands,
Soviet Russia may be found moving
its armies through Rumania to at
tack Constantinople on the European
side while the Turks attack from
Asia Minor, or dispatching Bolshevik
forces through the Caucasus to aid
the Kemal forces.
If this were done, war undoubtedly
would be on. The armies of the Lit
tie Entente" would be thrown against
the Russians and, with the Bulgarians
contributing to the flame by support
ing Turkey and Russia, France and
some of the other allied powers
would undoubtedly use every means,
including war, to thwart the Russians.
Poland, protege of France, also GER
tainly would attack the Bolshevists.
Situation Rests
PARIS, Oct General feeling in
official circles here is that the danger
point in the Near East has been pass
ed. The withdrawal of Turkish Ma
tionalist military forces from Ereqeui
and Chanak is accepted as proof that
the Angora government is ready to
comply with the desires of the Allies
regarding the neutral zones.
Worse Yesterday
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. Mill
tary quarters expressed the belief to
day that a rupture between the Bri
tish and the Turks is likely TO occur
at any hour unless the Turks eva
cuate the neutral zone.
British officials admitted today that
the Chanak situation is growing more
critical and that hopes for a peaceful
settlement are fading.
A note from Mustapha Kemal Pa
sha, Turkish Nationalist leader, tC
General Harrington, the allied com
mander, couched in a hostile tenor
HsFconsidered as closing the door tC
a peaceful settlement of the straits
