 IS LOSING PATENCE

2
 London. Sept 2s,- ,-~tBx the A. The events of the next feN dzvs prab-1 ably will largely be influenced bv the outcome of the meeting M. Franklin Bouilon. the French envoy sent by the Paris government. to Asiatic Turkey has just had with Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the Turkish nationalist leader
 The policy the British authorities have pursued in. the face of the continued oc- cuption by the Kema.;Sts 1T the .cegion in the vicinity of Chaaix s believed in London to have. been dse partly to the absence of definite Information as to how far Great Britain cohrid depend upon French and Italian support in the event of hostiiities with the Kemalists An agreement with the Angora government; concluded some time ago by M Franklin. Bouillon. included clause under which French undertook not to engage in nili- tsry operations against the Turks in Asia 1 Minor.
 Reports from Constantinonie are to the effect that Mustapha Renal is in favor l of peace; but on the other hand, the Associated Press correspondent asserts that the French and Italian generals in the Turkish capital express the opinion Chanak and confine themselves to the | sula.
 i It is expected that the meeting be- tween Franklin-Bouiilon and Kemal will make the actual situation clearer. The l situation as revealed here today follow ing an important cabinet meeting ap- peared to be that the British govern ment had arrived nearly at the end of it's patience.
 What is said to have been virtually an ultimatum demanding that the Turkish troops quit the Chanak zone has been sent to Mustapha Kemal Psha. and afteS. the cabinet meeting 1t was said that Brigadier General Harrington has been l informed that he would have the full support of the government in taking whatever steps he considered advisable to bring the Turkish occupation of the forbidden zone to an end and. thus ter l minate the grave situation, which was considered nothing less than Turkish de- hance to the British goyernment's view regarding this note is that if one part of It is broken the whole of 1t becomes ineffective
 It was added that the British govern ment no longer will be satisfied with Kemals promise that his troops will ad- vance, no further but will require the actual withdrawal if the nationalist forces.
 According to the officitl view here at the coming meeting between General Harrington and Kemal nothing will be discussed but actual military matters that 1t is intended to clear up any mis- understanding arising from the Kemalis, charges of aggression
 It will be oontended that the British, operations are necessary and justifable but not hostie
 | There have been reports today that the Turks might be allowed to cross int Thrace in return for the evacuation by the Kemalists of he whole of he neutra, zone. These reports met with little cred. ence in London, but according to the Az. sociated Press correspondent in, Con. stantinople there is talk there of ,th. Greeks being asked to evacuate easterr Thrace by October 10, thus permitting th, Turks to enter the region by way ot ports on the sea of Marmors. The view in official circles here tonight was ina ss the sea of Marmora has been de. ciared neutral the Greek fleet can operat, there and effectively prevent the Turk from crossing.
