CLIMAX SLOWLY.
APPROACHES IN
TURK TROUBLE
Moslems Closing in on British
Infantry Units in the
Chanak Area.

- CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 2S.-Events
are surely approaching a climax. The
Turks have occupied the entire neutra,
zone on the Asiatic side of the Darda-
nelles with the exception OF the Chanak
area, around which they established in
,fantry units in a semi-eircle virtually
investing the British lines.
The Turkish cavalry squadrons are
retiring, and the British troops who are
in strong force at Chanak are ready
for what may happen.
MMstapha Kenal Pasha, the nation
alist foreign minister, is understood to
have gone, to Angora to submit the al
lied joint note to the nationalist assem-
bly,, but in the meatime Turkish
concentrations. are being pushed with the
greatest speed.
British reinforcements are reaching
here and the threatened area. The
super er-dreadnoughts Revenge and Reso-
luton, the most powerful fighting ma
chimes afloat, have arrived in the Dard-
anelles, while a battalion of North Staf
fordshires and 1000 men of the British
air forces landed today and marched
through Constantinople with bands play
ing.
Their presence has helped to bring
about a reassuring effect.
The Turkish instructions to the men
in the Chanak sector are to advance the
farthest possible without meeting resis-
tance. They are now practically against
the British entrenchments, and obvious
ly the situation cannot be indefinitely
prolonged.
Notwithstanding the Kemlist concen-
trations around Chanak. however, the
British are confident of holding their
lines against all odds. They declare tina;
their flanks are well protected by the
fleet. The battIeships with their 16-inch
guns can sweep the whole area around
Chanak for a distance of twenty miles
and it is possible for the British to dis
mount some of their giant naval guns
and use them for shore batteries.
