conference definitely fixed for tomor-
row at Mudania, the peril of war be-
tween Great Britain and Turkey ap-
p4ared less menacing today.
Great Britain's recession from the
neutral zone controversy. caused no
little surprise and disappointment
here, but 1t was generally admitted
this step was the only thing which
could have stayed Mustapha Kemal
Pasf1as' hand. 1t is pointed to as an
other evidence of England's extra
ordinary patience and earnest desire
to avoid war.

meeting to a successful conclusion.
The British declare they Will insie
upon occupying tho Asiatic banks Q
