The Associated Press Threat of a
military demonstration to force the
Turkish Nationalist troops out of
the neutral zone near Ismid was
made at this afternoons session Of
the Mudania conference.
General Harrington, the British
representative, demanded of Ismet
Pasha, the Kemaiist commander,
that the Turks withdraw their
forces, the advance guards of which
are said to be within forty miles of
Constantinople
Unless this was done, General
Harrington declared he would be
compelled to make demonstration
on beth fanks of the Kemalist
troops.
The British demand for withdraw
al is for complete retirement of the
Turks in the Ismid zone and with
drawal in the Chanak area to a
fixed line well out of contact with
the British forces.
Ferryboat Traffic Suspended
Immediate suspension of the ferry
boats on the Bosporus and the Sea
of Marmora has been ordered by the
British.
The British admiral in commsnd has
issued an order that beginning to-
morrow no vessel, steam, sail or other-
wise, will be permitted to move OF
the Bosporus between o'clock in
the evening and o'clock in the mora
ing. The order adds:
Any vessel disobeying this order Is
likely TO be fired on without netica.
This action Is taken For the safety
of the Inhabitants"
AT to-day's conference the Turks re-
fused to specify the number Of
gendarmes they desired to send to
Thrace. The British delegation had in
structions to insist on limitation of the
number permitted.
Peace or War imminent A
A diplomat in close touch with the
Mudania conference expressed the bes
lief tonight that the next twenty-four
hours would spell either peace or war.
eff Ismet continues his arrogant atti-
tude and insists perpetually on seeking
to upset the negotiations, the confer
ence must cease its efforts for peace
he declared.
A dispatch from Athens TO the local
newspaper Kirk" says the Greek gov
ernment has instructed General Maza-
Sakis to sign the Mudania arn1istice
thereby agreeing to the
evacuation Of eastern Thrace.
ATHENS, Oct s (By The Associated
Press The Greek government has
instructed it's delegates at the Mudania
conference to accept decisions which
may be unanimously agreed upon by
the Allied representatives. This ac-
tion was taken following the receipt
of advices from former Premier Venj-
zelos that eastern Thrace mast be con-
sidered as lost to Greece.
Seeks Extension of Time
Greece will endeavor 10 secure two
months time to permit OF the evacua-
ton Of her army and the Creek civilian
population, which is estimated to ag-
gregate 250,000. 1t is probable that
another 100000 Greeks and Armenians
will leave Constantinople for Greece,
which will make more crushing the
problem of the country, which already
is burdened with refugees.
> MUDANIA, Oct. s (By The Associated
Press) The Allies presented united
front on their return to Mudania at 10
o'clock tonight, and the feeling of all
three delegations was that Ismet Pasha
would be forced TO yield.
The delegations expressed optimism
regarding the outcome, contending
there was little doubt that the Turks,
would accept the Allied demands, leav-
the Turkish gendarmerie only possi-
bility of friction.
"A new hitch arose in the negotiations
this morning when it was announced
that the new Instructions to the French
and Italian delegations had not been
received The British delegation re-
ceiyed final instructions from London,
and Generals Charpy and Mombelii de-
cided to return to Constantinople for a
consultation With the high comnis-
sioners there.
They returned immediately to Mu-
dania after learning that the instrues
tions sent TO General Harrington by q
destroyer were intended also to apply
to them, as the note elaborated at
Paris by Premier Poincare. Lord Cur
zon and Signor CALI, the Italian
charge, was collective one.
British Instructions Definite

sist at to-day's conference upon three
points: 81
First, fixation Of the number of
gendarmerie In Thracc.
IS Second, withdrawal Of all Turkish
troops from the neutral zones.
Third, military ocupation OF Thracc
by the Turkish army to take plaee
only after the signing Of the peace

authority to support these demands,
