This would prove a substantial
help to the National Capital in get

before the railroads get back to nor

Strength of Greek Force.

By the Associated Press.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July go. -
Gen. Harrington, the allied COM
mander-in chief here, has made an
inspection of the French troops on
the Tchatalja lines, ascertaining the
strength OF the Greek forces in
Thrace and inquiring into the Greek
army. intentions. He also has made
an examination of the ground in the
event that the British troops should
be employed in the region.
Many observers interpreted the
visit Of Gen. Harrington to the front
as an expression of fear on the part
of the allies OF a Greek advance upon
Constantinople, but in responsible
quarters it is believed 1t was for the
purpose of dispelling rumors or
Franco-British discord concerning the
defense of Constantinople in the event
of Greek aggression.
The French take the Britlsh
generals visit as a compliment ana
an evidence Of solidarity and declare
there is less chance than ever OF the

FRANCE AND ITALY OPPOSE
Understood to Be Against Any
Greek Attack on Constantinople.

By the Associated Press
PARIS, July 2s.-The recent note OF
the Greek government to the allied
powers, declaring that 1t was obliged
to take measures to impose q peace
on the Turks, has provoked a lively
exchange Of views between Paris:
London and Rome with view OF
forestalling any effort by the Greeks
against Constantinople.
Opinion in official circles Is con-
vinced that the Greek plan is to at
tack from Thrace in view of the fail
ure of the operations in Anatolia-
Both France and Italy are understood
to be absolutely opposed to any such
action.
News received from Constantinople
today states that there is great agi-
tation on receipt of the news of the
Greek note. The lalied high commits
sioners are endeavoring to reassure
the population by posting proclama-
tions stating that the high commits
sion has decided to prevent any In
cursions into the tefriory confded
to its care.
The French government is under
stood to have rcoposed energetic ac-
tion on the part OF the allies by the
application Of military force II neces-
sary to prevent any attack on Con-
agreement with France. No word
has as yet been received from London,
but in view of the action of the high
commission at Constantinople. which
IL presided over by a Britisher, the
British are supposed to be in accord.
The French press comments rather
severely on the action of Greece in
announcing she recovered her liberty
of action just at the moment when
the allies are about to come to final
agreement on the proposed confer
ence to bring about peace between
the Greeks and the Kemalists.
