was not discussed at the morning
conference between the allied gen
erals and Ismet Pasha, but was

dania convention to the effect that
since Turkey had released all Greek
civilian prisoners, all Turkish civil
ian prisoners in Greek hands should
be released. He demanded also the

prisoners. this matter would be re-

prisoners OF war. they declared. was
a matter to be settled between the
two beligerent countries themselves.
