Nationalist Troops Hold
Most of Neutral Zone on
Asiatic Side; Crowd Up
TO Chanak Fortifications
kenal Summoned
To Confer at Once
Two SuperdreadnougInts
and Reinforcenents Ar
rive; More Are on Way

CoNSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 2S
(By The Associated Press) Events
are surely approaching climax.
The Turks have occupied the entire
neutral zone on the Asiatic side of
the Dardanelles, with the exception
of the Chanak area, around which
they have established infantry units
in seni-circle, virtually investing
the British lines.
. The Turkish cavalry squadrons
are retiring, and the British troops,
who are in strong force at Chanak,
are ready for what may happen.
In these circumstances General
Harrington, the British commander
in chief, has sent wireless message
to Kenal Pasha at Smyrna, asking
for an immediate personal meeting
He leaves the choice of place to
Kemal, whose reply is expected mo-
mentarily.
Turks Push Martial Program
Yussuf Kemal Pasha, the Nationalist
Foreign Minister, is understood to have
gone to Angora to submit the Allied
joint note to the Nationalist Assembly,
but in the mean time Turkish concen-
trations are being pushed with the
greatest speed
British relnforcements are reaching
here and the threatened area The
super Revenge and Rev
olution, the most powerful fighting ma
chimes afioat, have arrived in the Dar-
danelles, while a battalion of North
staffordshires and 1000 men of the
British air forces landed to-day and
marched through Constantinople with
helped to bring about reassuring
effect.
Two thousand British marines and
Grenadier Guards and two battalions
Of Dorsets are due here to-morre%.
The Turkish instructions to the men
in the Chanak sector are to advance
the farthest possible without meeting
resistance. They are now practically
against the British intrenchments, and
obviously the situation cannot be in
definitely prolonged.
notwithstanding the Kemalist con-
centrations around Chanak. however,
the British are confident of holding
their lines against all odds. They de-
clare that their flanks are we'll pro-
tected by the fleet. The battleships,
with their 16-inch guns, can sweep the
whole area around Chanak for a dis
tance of twenty miles, and it is pos
sible for the British to dismount some
of their giant naval guns and use them
for shore batteries.
The Turks at present have only
machine guns in the Chanak area If
they brought up heavy artillery the
security of Chanak might be seriously
challenged, the British admit, but the
entrenchments in this sector are said
to be more efficient than any used in
the World War. Since September II
1000 men from the labor squad, 1000
from the fleet and several thousand
from the army have been steadily
building trenches and setting up gun
emplacements.
