BAL KAN WAR AVERTED.
PARIS THINKS DANGER POINT IN NEAR EAST CRISIS IS PAST.
OF TROOPS FROM NEUTRAL ZONE.

Constantinople.-Orders for cessa- don of military movements in the Cha nak region of Asiatic Turkey and for the suspension of the activities of the Turkish irregular forces in Thrace have been issued by Mustapha kemal Pasha, the Turkish National leaders.
 The Turkish Nationalist authorities have agreed to an armistice confer ence in Mudania, and have requested the allied high commissioners to ap- point delegates. The Nationalists will be represented by Ismet Pasha and possibly by Hemid Bey.
 Paris.-The general feeling in Paris is that the danger point in the Near East situation is past. The withdraw al of the Turks from Eren Eeui, and, as semi-officiany reported, also from their position at Chanak, is accepted as proof of the Angora governments readiness to comply with the allied de- sires.
 Great Britain is given credit in
 
 held dignified and firm attitude, which has greatly contributed to the solution of the difficulty.
 At the same time, Mustapha Kemal Is praised for having shown a concil- iatory attitude, which, it is hoped the British will not overlook, as the Ke- malists will have evacuated the neu- tral zone first.
 French officials are anxious that Great Britain will find means to sat isfy Turkish public opinion.
 London-With the virtual accept ance of Mustapha Kernal Pasha of a conference at Mudania. the whole Near Eastern situation is considered temporarily easier. However, the fact that Turkish troops still are concen- tra,ing in the Ismid zone. notwith- stanIIne that they have retired slight ly in the Chanak zone, would indicate that ".Semal still is playing the game"
