KEMAL|ST PEACE
TERMS OUTLINED
FOR CONFERENCE
Allies in Meeting at Mudania
With Turkish Envoy-Mus-
tapha Renal Not Present at
Farley

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. "a
powerful British fleet, decks stripped
for war, Unanswered at the Darda-
nelles today, as allies and Turks
talked peace at Mudania.
Representatives of Mustapha
Renal and of the European powers
met at II a. M, it was understood.
in a preliminary Near East confer
ence.
They discussed an arnistice to
prevent the threatened clash between
British and Turks over the occupa-
ton of the neutral zone of the OAR
danelles.
The Mudania conference will deal
only with military questions. The
political phases of the Near Eastern
problem are to be worked out at a
permanent peace conference which
will be held about the middle of the
month if an agreement is reached at
Mudania.
These are the representatives who
met to formulate the basis OF peace
in the Near East: Sir Charles Har-
rington, British commander-in-ch chief;
General Charpy, France; lsmet
Pasha, Turkey; General Mombelli,
Italy, and General Mazarakis and
Colonel Harigiannis, Greece.
All but the Greek representatives
had arrived at Mudania. 1t was
feared that the conference might be
delayed because of the failure of the
Greeks to reach there at the appoint
ed time.
Turkish troops have Withdrawn
from the neutral zone, pending to-
Gays conference.
More Warships
The British were not the only
warships steaming at the gates Oh
the Sea of Marmora, however. Ru-
mania's interest in the straits was
manifest with appearance early to-
day Of three Rumanian destroyers
at the Bosphorus. Others OF the al
lies had destroyers nearby.
The military leaders of the pow
ers arrived at Mudania on battle
ships.
Mustapha Renal, who issued the
call for the pariey after confer
ences with Franklin Bouillon,
French envoy, is not to be present
when the sessions tart, but may
be there on the final day, accord
ing to reports.
It was anticipated that the pre-.
liminary Mudania parley would
last at least three days. The world
is to be informed of the accom-
plishments of the parley by com
muniques, which are to be issued at
Mudania and sent to Constantinople.
According to last reports, the al
lied commission refused to allow
newspaper correspondents to go to
Mudania for the conference. A pro
test of American journalists to Ad-
miral Mark Bristol, American naval
commander, brought no results as
far as could be learned. The terms
laid down by Mustapha Renal for
the conference are acceptable to
the allies, it is believed, but will
form the basis of discussion.
These are the two most impor-
tant questions to be discussed ct
the conference.
Terms Proposed
1. The evacuation of the neutral
zone in the area near Chanak on
Dardanelles and Ismid, near the
Straits of the Bosphorus.
2. The evacuation of Thrace.
It was believed that General Har-
rington will attempt to induce the
Turks to move back in the Chanak
area to a greater distance than they
have done since Renal called the
conference This would, pending
the permanent peace negotiations,
obviate the possibility of a cash be.
tween the British and Kemalists.
Thrace is the most difficult is.
sue to be discussed at the parley.
In his demands. Renal stated that
it was necessary for the Turks to
occupy that territory as far as the
Martha river to prevent massacres
by the Greeks.
The British, however, are expected
to oppose this on the grounds that
in the allied note Thrace was prom
ised to Turkey after and not before
the permanent peace conference had
been held.
