Paris. Sept 81. (
The allied Governments which have
been in conference here on. the Near
East situation joined tonight in note
to Mustapha Kemal, offering prac-
tically everything that Turkey asked
for under Angoras national pact two
years ago. This offer. however. is
made absolutely conditional on Kemal's
keeping his troops from crossing the
line of the neutral zone on the Asiatic
side of the straits, where his troops
now are concentrated.
The French profess tonight that
from private advices they have reason
to believe that Kemal will be wholly
satisfied with this arrangement and
that the war cloud in the Near East
has been lifted. Allied harmony seems
certain tc have been assured in the
joint note sent tonight, though it Is
foreshadowed that it represents con-
cessions on the part of the European
Powers to Turkey such as were not
dreamed of two years ago.
The note from the three Powers al
ready Is on the way TO Kemal and as
Issued textually tonight Is exactly as
forecast in Paris dispatches to THE New
York HERALD last night, Turkey is
promised in advance of a peace confer
erce the possession Of Adrianople and
Thrace as far as the Martha River, the
withdrawal OF every allied soldier from
Constantinople and the sovereignty OF
the straits.
Would Let Turkey fn League.
The freedom OF .he straits as we'll as
the protection OF mnorities is placed
urder the League of Nations. and to
secure Turkeys acceptance of this the
three governments pledge themselves In
advance to support Turkeys admission
to the league. fact of great signifi-
canoe in view of France IS continued hos
tility to the admission of Germany.
As forecast in dispatches to THE New
York HERALD. Standardization OF the
straits and possibly of Thrace are pro-
posed AS further inducement for
Kemal to accept the terms the Allies
undertake to secure in advance of the
conference the retirement OF the Greeks
in Thrace and the European side Of the
straits to a line which is to be fixed at
preliminary conference between kcmal
and the allied generals either at Mou-
cenia or Ismd.
COnferees Pleased.
All the conferees declared tonight
at ttcfa rtin
the conference as emphasized In the
note sent to Kemal. whereas last night
there were some fears that a joint
declaration would not be possible under
the circumstances. Italy and France
have not agreed TO make a common
cause with Great Britain should
KemalNs troops cross the neutral line
however. and such an act necessarily
would involve these Powers In a new
discussion while obviously committing
England to actual war with the Turks.
But nobody believes this will happen,
In view OF the Allies acceptance CT
virtually every demand made by the
Turkish nationalists as preliminary
to the proposed peace conference. Eng
ls nd also virtually commits herself In
this note to stopping the Greeks insofar
as they would continue the war Off
cially and therein England to-day de-
stroys finally and for all the dreams
of Greece for restoring her Byzantine
empire.
