Mudania Truce
Takes Effect; No
Clash Expected
Allies Prepared to Occupy
Thrace and Reports In
dicate Evacuation Will
Proceed Without Trouble

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. IA (By The
Associated Press).--At midnight to-
night the agreements reached by the
Mudania conference will go into effect.
The last three days have been spent in
preparation for the Allied occupation
of East Thrace, and all reports received
here indicate that the evacuation will
proceed in 3 fairly orderly manner.
The Allied inspection missions, three
of which were sent throughout Thrace
week ago, have completed their in
vestigations. Reports submitted by
them show there is no ground for
charges Of widespread atrocities and
attacks on Turkish residents by the
Greek army. Several isolated cases
were found, but the reports state these
obviously were the work of individuals
and were relatively unimportant.
Greek Morale Broken
More significant, however, is their
report that the Greek army is in
state OF dissolution throughout
Thrace, only few of the better units
remaining intact. The refusal of the
Sd Army Corps to obey orders to evac.
uate, told of in dispatches from
Adrianople last night, is believed co
be due in part to the general slacken-
ing of the morale of the Greek troops,
which it will be the mission of the AL
lied detachments to restore and con-
troll as part of the effort for orderly
evacuation.
second plan for evacuation was
drawn up by the commander in chief
OF the Greek army and communicated
to the Allied representatives at Ro-
dosto. This plan gives the exact
movements Of each military unit in
east Thrace and apparently insurea
the last of the Greek troops being out
by October &c.
