London, Sept. 20 (by the Asso-
ciated Prcss.) The events of the
next few days probably will be
largely influenced by the outcome
Of the meeting which NJ. Franklin
Bouillon, the French envoy sent
by the Paris government to Asiatic
Turkey, has just had with Musta-
pha Kemal Pasha, the Turkish ma
tionalist leader.
The policy the British authori-
ties have pursued in the face OF the
continued occupation by the ke-
malists of the region in the vicin-
ity of Chanak is believed in Lon
don to have been due partly to
the absence of definite Informal
ton as to how far Great Britain
could depend upon French and
italian support in the event of hos
tilities with the kemalists,
An agreement with the Angora
government, concluded some time
ago by NJ. Franklin -Boutllon, in
cluded q clause under which
France undertook not to engage in
military operations against the
Turks in Asia Minof. Reports
from Constantnopfe are to the et-
feet that Mustapha kemai is III
favor of peace; but, on the other
hand, tho Associated Press corre-
spondent asserts that the French
and Italian generals in the Turkish
capital express the opinion that
the British ought to withdraw from
Chanak and contine themselves to
1 the European side of the Gallipoli
peninsula,
Britain Loses Patience.
1t is expected that the meeting
between Franklin-Bouillon and
Mustapha Kemal will make the ac-
tual situation cleGer. The situa-
ton as revealed here today follow
! ing an important cabinet meeting
appeared TO be that the British
| epyernmcnt had arrived nearly sf
/ the eiHd OF its patieuce.
What is said to have been virtu-
ally an ultimatum demanding that
| the Turkish troops quit the Cha
J max zone has poen sent to Musta-
pha Kemal Pasha, and after the
cabinet meeting it was said that
| Brigadicr General Harrington had
been informed that he would have
the full support of the government
| in taking whatever steps he con-
sidercd advisable to bring the Tur-
| llish occupation of the forbidden
zone to an end and thus terminate
the grave situation, which was
considered nothing less than Tur-
llish defiance to the British en-
pire and in direct Contravention
of the terms of allied note. The
! British governments view regard
ing this note is that il one part OF
it is broken the whole OF it be-
comes ineffective.
Want Troops Removed.
It was added that the British
government no longer will be sat
sfied with Kcmal's promise that
his troops will advance no farther,
but will require the actual with
drawal of the nationalist forces.
According to the official view
| here of the coming meeting be-
tween General Harrington and Ke-
| NAL, nothing will be discussed but
actual military matters, 1T is In
tended to clear up any misunder-
standing arising from the kemal-
st charges Of aggression. 1t will
be contended that the British OPP
crations are necessary and justifia-
Bile, but not hostile.
There have been reports today
that the Turks might be allowed
to cross into Thrace in return for
the evacuation of the Kemalists
of the whole of the neutral zone.
These reports met with little Gre
dence in London, but according to
the Associated Press correspondent
in Constantinople, there istalk there
OF the Greeks befns asked to evac-
uate Eastern Thrace by October
10. thus permitting the Turks to
enter the region by way of ports
on the Sea of Marmora. The view
in official circles here tonight was
that as the Sea of Marmora has
been declared neutral, tho Greek
fleet can operate there and effect
lively prevent the Turks from
crossing.
Malta dispatches received in
London report that the British
fleet in the Dardaneles and the
British army at Chanak are being
constantly reinforced, while Mud
ros is being converted into a sub
sidiary base for the fleet operating
in Turkish waters.
