Constantinople, Oct. 2.-(By The
Associated ss.)-With an armls-
tice conference definitely fixed for
Tuesday at Mudania, the possibility
of war between Great Britain and Tur-
key appeared less menacing Monday.
Great Britain's recession from the
neutral zone controversy caused no ut
tie surprise and disappointment here,
but it was generally admitted that TINS
step was the only thing which would
have stayed Mustapha Renal Pasha,s
hand. II is pointed to as another EVIL
dence of ,England's extraordinary pa
thence and earnest desire to avoid war.
Up to the time of the issuance OF
General Harington's note Saturday
night the situation looked exceedingly
critical. 1t Is now conceded that bus
tact and tolerance, coupled with the
timely arrival of achievements from
England prevented the Turks from
striking at Chanak.
It is expected the conference may
drag for several days, as the kemailsts
doubtless will bargain and haggle over
every point. y is felt that the lnflu-
lence of the italian generals viii be
an important factor in bringing the
meeting to a successful conclusion.
The British declare they will insist
upon occupying the Asiatic banks Oh
the straits even at the peril OF fall9re
of the conference. They may aiso
contest the immediate withdrawal OF
Creeks from Thrace, making this CON
lditional upon acceptance of the allled
neace proposals. The i~nviolabllty OF
the straits will be stoutly defended
Deny New UItImatum
British general headquarters here
issued a denial of a report emanatlng
In England that General Harrington
would demand the evacuation OF the
shores of the Dardanelles by the Iufk-
fish troops within "a hours.
All men between the ages OF 3o anu ~
80 In that part OF Thrace wnlcn Is
under the jurisdiction of the Constan,
tinople government are being recruited
for the Turkish army.
The allied generals announced Mon
day that newspaper men, lnciuolne
those representing American journals
would not be permitted to go to Mau-
DANA for the armistice conference. Inc
jnteraIlied passport control has oeen
instructed TO refuse vises. The an
nonncement has caused indignant pro
tests from the American correspond,
ents who have appealed to Admlr
Mark L. Bristol to intercede.
