Paris. Oct. Z.
AS a result of new demands made
by the Turks at the Mudania confer
ence, provoking the present crisis,
Lord Curzon, the British Foreign Sec
retary. and Premier Poincare agreed
to day upon new concessions to the
Turks that will bring them back into
Europe sooner than had been con-
templated by the last Paris conference.
These concessions were approved by
the British Cabinet late tonight. hav-
ing been already indorsed by the
French Cabinet. The Italians are fol-
lowing the French throughout and
have ceased t, be factor in the
present negotiations.
The outstanding fact in the Poin-
care-Curzon agreement tonight is
that Turkish civil authorities and
the Turkish gendarmerie-synony
with part of the Turkish army
shall control eastern Thrace before
peace is actually signed, though not
until after the Greeks shall have
evacuated This is the concession
made to Ismet Pasha's demand, If not
his ultimatum, that Kemal's troops
be authorized to replace the Greek
troops Immediately.
Turks Gain Time.
Thus. while the Allies had promised
a fortnight ago to consider favorably
the Turks claims In eastern Thrace at
a peace conferences" they now agree
to turn over Thrace within so short
time as two months at most, regardless
of whether peace is actually effective.
Another concession made tonight.

was a decision to propose to the Turks
conference corollary to general
peace conference. exclusively to deal
with the question of the straits. to which
should be invited Soviet Russia. as the
Turks had urged.
In fact, the agreement as drafted Is
understood TO throw open the straits
conference to all de facto and de jure
governments interested in the question.
This would include America, as we'll as
the Danube and Black Sea States. In
its essential outline. the Polncare-C Curzon
agreement which will be telegraphed
to the Mudania conference, provides:
First-That the Greeks evacuate
Thrace Immediately, as former Pre-
mier Venizelos believes that thorty
days without interference VIII be
sufficient for this.
Second-That for a period of one
month after the Greeks withdraw the
Allies shall remain in unmolested oc-
cupation of Thrace to assure order
and permit civilians TO get out be-
fore the Turks come in but at the
end of this time the Allies shall re-
tire, permitting the Government to be
taken over by the Turks, the Turk
ish gendarmerie to occupy the coun-
try. save that the Allies shall oc-
cupy certain strategic points and
maintain small garrison In Con-
stantinople till peace is actually
signed.
Third-That Smyrna be rejected
as the site of the peace conference,
in lieu whereof the Allies shall pro-
pose Scutari. November 1.
Fourth-while Scutari Is sug-
gested for a general conference to
make peace between the Greeks and
the Turks. the Allies shall suggest
n later conference TO decide the
straits issue.
Fear Turks Won't Accept.
There is a fee1ng In British circles
hare that even the new concessions Will
not be acceptable to the Turks. whose
arrogance increases rapidly In proper
Ton to their military and diplomatic
successes of the last few weeks.
Actuating the British chiefly has been
= concern for the protection OF Chris
tions when the European sluice gate Is
opened to the Turk and he again be-
comes master of his old European ter
ritories. In fact. to-days conference
seemed to center largely around the
point how much time was to be given
FOR 70O. 900 Christians In Constantinople
and the 10000 in Thrace to get away.

some see Il, Is more dangerous than
before the war. because of the fact that
Thrace and even Constantnople since
the war have been under Christian
domination.

malsts from the neutral zone. Thus,
this point of British pride seems to have
been appeased at the expense of to-day's
compromise. Chanak. however. has ap-

Turks as compared with their imme-
