CoNsTANTINOPLE, Sept. 30
(By The Associated Press British
officials admit that the Chanak sitl-
alton is growing more critical, and
that hopes for an amicable settle
ment are waning.
The Turkish troops continue in
close contact with the british. They
have formed screen around the
British forces, behind which they are
making concentrations and recon
| noitering.
The British have established
wartime censorship Hereafter the
mention of names of regiments, their

hibited
General Harrington seems to have
exhausted his peaceful overtures,
and many fear that military action
will follow.
Clash Possible Any Hour
A rupture between the opposing
forces, it is thought in military quar-
ters, is likely to be precipitatcd at any
hour unless the Turks Withdraw from

Large forces of British infantry have
been landed here from the traAs-Atlap.

LONDON, Sept. 80. - The British
Cabinet and all official London. sat up
tonight, waiting in vain word from
General Harrington, at Constantinople,
on tle outcome of his most recent note
to Mustapha Kemal demanding that the
Turkish Nationalist forces be with
drawn from the neighborhood of Cha
max. Lloyd George and al the min
listers cancelled weekend plans and are
iSfnalIlHEeln lne caplIal.
There is some confusion as to the
wording of the British note to Kema
Apparently inspired statements made
this afternoon softencd the first belli-
cose Interpretation ard removed the
message from the category OF .uiti
niatuns; at least, i was insisted that
the Turks were not ordered to get out
Of the neutral zone before General HsE-.
jngton would meet them in preliminary
peace conversations.
FenizeIos's Arrival Deplored
A turn to the situation which is gen
orally considered unfavorable was
given by the arrival In London to-day
of former Premier Venizelos OF Greece.
ePhe Evening Standard" which has
been defending Lloyd Georges policy,
calls Venizelos's visit ill-timed, and
thinks unfavorable deductions will be
made abroad from his appearance here
at this hour
Venizelos said he had not been In
!vited TO call at the British Foreign Of
Ace, but he hinted that ne would soe
the government officials next week, re-
marking; Il know the habits of psopls
in the Foreign Office better than to try
to see any one on Saturday or Sunday
TO reporters. .Nenizeics said that his
visit was on purely personal affairs.
While troops and war ships continue
to leave England for the Near East,
British labor goes on with the devei-
opment OF plans in opposition to war.
