CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 2 (By
The Associated Press The Kemal-
ist proposals, which will be laid for
mally before the Mudania confer
ence tomorrow, are "discussable, but.
not acceptable"
This was the decision Of the
extraordinary council, which met at
the British Embassy this afternoon.
1t included the Allied high commits
sioners, ambassadors, generals and
admirals.
Henri Franklin Bouillon, the
French envoy, through whose efforts
with Kemal Pasha the conference
was made possible, expressed his
confident belief to the correspondent
this evening that an agreement would
be reached tomorrow at Mudania.
"Kemal will make an even creates
effort for peace than he has made for
war;" he said.
Two Issues Dominant
Two of the most important questions
to be discussed at the, conference will
be demarcation of a new neutral zone
on the Asiatic shore of the Darda-
nelles and at Ismid and the evacuation
of Thrace.
The Allies ; /, that Kemaps de-
mands as outlin ID by Franklin -Bouillon
are of such a nature that the Angora
Assembly would thereafter be in a po-
sition to reject the Allied note. Kemal
Pasha insists on settlement of all mill
tary questions before replying to the
Allied proposals. He and four of the
ministers at Smyrna accepted the Al
lied note In principle, but the attitude
OF the Angora Assembly is not known.
The Allies feel that Kemal's demands
could have been made with better grace
it the Allied note had been fully in
dorsed by his government. Kemal's
armistice terms make no reference to rs
neutral zone or neutrality of the u
Straits, but the opinion of the Allied
Council was that the most important
question to be discussed tomorrow
would be the establishment of a pro-
visional neutral line at Chanak, as sug-
gested by General Harington's latest
note to the Turkish Nationalist leader.
1t must be remembered that the
Mudania conference is military, not
political, but the evacuation of Thrace
is largely under the latter category and
is hardly considered a matter to be de-
cided upon by the Allied generals
alone.
Allied Jealousy Revealed
1t was decided this evening that tha
armistice conference must take place
ashore at Mudania, instead of on one
of the Allied ships. This decision was
reached principally because the Allies
were unable to agree, even on such Il
minor question as to which should
have the honor of acting as host Of
the conference, Each apparently
feared that the holding of the COR
ference aboard one of the others
ships would give that nation a dis
tinct advantage in the session and In
the report of that session which would
reach the outside world.
Hamid Bey, representing the Angora
government, accompanied by Franklin4
Boulllon, will depart tomorrow morn
ing for Mudania on the cruiser Metz.
General Mombelli, who will represent
Italy at the conference, will proceed
on the Victor Emmanuel; General
Sharpie, for France, on the Jean Bart,
and General Harrington on the Iron
Duke.
The Mudania conference will be-
gin at l o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
The British naval authorities have or
dered the cessation of all marine traffic
In the neighborhood Of Mudania, and
newspaper correspondents are to be ex,
Guided from the meetings. Daily coml
muniques will be issued on the results
OF the conference and transmitted by
wireless to Constantinople.
Ismid Is Outranked
General Haringtons consenting to
meet ismid Pasha instead of Mustapha
nemai n, is causing much comment.
There is vast difference in their
ranks, General Harrington being CON-
mander in chief of the Allied forces,
while lsmid is only second in com.
mand OF the Nationalist army
1t is learned that Franklin B Bouillon
mas secured KemaPs pledge to suspend
mIlhtary movements during the armis-i
tlce conference, provided the Allies
accept the following conditions:
J.. Formal guarantees concerning tbs
evacuation of Thrace.
q. The establishment of Allied ears
risons In the larger towns of Thrace.
o. Ihe occupation of Thrace by Turk.
ish Nationalist gendarmerfe.
a. Transfer of the civil administers
ton OF Thrace to Kemalist functions
aries.
3. Evacuation Of Thrace within eight
days by the Greek army.
6. Occupation of the western line OF
the Martha River by Allied troops.
Turks Cross Thracian Border /
A band of 800 Turkish irregularA
crossed the border Of Thrace at Sineklis
to the northwest of Silivri <forty milea
west of Constantinople), and attacked
the Greek outposts. These were being
forced to withdraw when reinforce
menus arrived, and the Turks were
thrown back across the boundary.
Ali men between the ages of thirty
and fifty IN that part of Thrace which
is under the jurisdiction Of the Cone
stantinople government ars being reS
cruited for the Turkish army.
