situation by the tenor Of last nights
note from Yussuf Kemal. France and
Italy, in Mudania tomorrow, formally
will extend the glad hand to the Turk
and invite him back into Europe.
Although unwilling to allow him
TO cross the Dardaneles with his
armies, pending the outcome of the
final peace conference, the allied COM
manders in Constantinople, responsive
70 the wishes OF their respective Govern
nients, have agreed TO offer the Kemal-
lists representation on the military com
mission which, it is proposed, shall
administer Thrace temporarily.
This marks another concession made
to Mustapha Kemal Dispatches re-
ceived tonight by Premier Poncare
from NJ Franklin Bouilon. who is con-
ferring with the Nationalist chief for the
Allies. gave a still more optimistic tinge
tc the situation arising from Yussufs
communication to the allied command
ers. and as usual the French Govern
ment expresses confidence tonight that
the way Is now cleared for a most salts
factory peace with the Turk. This natu-
rally Will be hailed as triumph for
French diplomacy.
Privately the French are chuckling at
what they think will be the effect Of all
this upon the whole Moslem world In the
future when 1t comes 10 the rival inter-
ests OF the two countries-Great Britain
and France.
According 10 the French version OF

With the Allies having their hands
raised practically before the Turks. and
calling "Kamerad :" everything is ex-
pected to go very smoothly tomorrow

invitation addressed to him in the name
Of the three Powers.
FThere will be only one conference

to hear their fate. AS for the position
Of the Greek divisions In Thrace, who
are understood to have received orders
from the new revolutionary government
in Athens to defend Thrace at all COSTS

Although Mr.. Lloyd George called on
the Greeks two weeks ago TO join with
England in preserving the freedom Of

reached IN Constantinople, the British
apparently are ready TO join with the
French I'm obtaining the Greek evacua-
tion OF Thrace Immediately. IN response

No great trouble Is expected. because

the forces now in Thrace have not the
ammunition to keep UP a steady cam
paign.
