GREECE AGREES

Athens, Oct. Shy A. P)-The
Greek government has instructed its
delegates at the Mudania conference
to accept decisions which may be
unanimously agreed upon by the Al
lied representatives.
This action was taken following the
receipt of advices from former Pre-
mier Nenizelos that Eastern ThraCe
must not be considered as lost to
Greece.
Greece will endeavor to secure two
months time to permit the evacua :
ton of her army and the Greek
civilian population. which is estl-
mated to aggregate 100000. 1t is
probable that another 100000 Greeks
and Armenians will leave CONSTANT

more crushing the problem of the
country, which is already burdened
with refugees.
