BILE" to Allies.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 3.-The Turkish
Nationalists today will lay before the
representatives of the allies at Mudania.
the terms on which they are willing
movements.
Constantinople dispatches say the
kemalist proposals, an outline of which
has reached the allied headquarters
there. were deemed "dscussabie, but
not acceptable" by a council yester-
day of the allied high commissioner,
ambassadors, generals and admirals.
Franklin Bouillon, the French envoy,
whose personal conversations with
MuStapha Kemal Pasha made the
armistice conference possible, however,
expressed the belief that an agreement
will be reached.
Include Formal Guarantees.
The Turkish proposals are said to
include formal guarantees concerning
the evacuation of Thrace by the
Greek army, occupation of the terri
tory by allied troops and transfer of
the civil administration to Kemalist
functionarieS.
If the amount of space given by the
press can be regarded as an index of
the tip-toe of expectancy and curl
osity concerning the result of the
meeting. Every London newspaper
devotes it's principal columns to the
subject and furnishes its readers with
its own version of what is likely to
happen, the main feature of the nu-
merous forecasts and speculations
being their infinite variety.
1t is not yet definitely known how
,many delegates will attend the con-

sources that, in addition to the allied
and Turkish generals, the conference
will include NJ Franklin-Bo Bouillon and
two Greek military representatives.
venizelos Being Watched.
Estimates of the probable duration
of the meeting differ considerably,
some believing it may .be over in a
few hours and others suggesting that
days may elapse before a settlement
is reached clearing the way for a
subsequent peace conference, invita-

dicted the Turks will accept. The
optimistic view of the situation taken
in Paris is not entirely shared here,
but hope seems to predominate.

with the greatest suspicion. The
Daily Press says NJ. Venizelos has ad-
vised the revolutionary government
in Athens to agree in principle to the
evacuation of eastern Thrace, but to
tell the allies that Greece will not
ers have decided to do so as the final
peace terms.
Greeks Would Remain.
The newspaper says the effect of
. this plan, if adopted, would be that
the Greek army would remain in
Thrace for many weeks longer and
that the conditions arising from this
inevitably would bring war between
the British and Turks. 1t calls upon
the British government and public to
put stop to the dangerous intrigue.
The report that the Washington ad-
ministration proposed to intervene in
the near eastern situation Is given
conspicuous publicity and attracts
general attention. None of the
papers comments editorially upon 1t,
but any development from the
American side is followed here with
the keenest interest and there is a

by the United tates which might
help unravel the tangle,
Strong doubts are expressed in Of
fetal quarters as to the justifica-
tion of the Russian soviet note of
protest against a blockade of the
Dardanelles, as the British govern

is possible. however. that the meas
ures taken against the Turks in the
Straits by the allied commanders
may have the operative effect of an
actual blockade.
