soclated Press) The armistice con-
vention was signed here tonight at
IL o'clock.
The representatives of all the pow
ers concerned affixed their sigma
lures to the revised protocol which
General Harrington had presented
for acceptance to Ismet Pasha and
which the Nationalist delegate for
warded to the Aagora government
for its decision.
General Harrington had informed
Isnet Pasha that the convention en-
bodied Great Britain's last word and
that the other powers gave their un-
qualified support to the terms.
On his part Ismet had replied that he
hoped his government would accept the
conditions set forth, and promised
reply by o'clock in the evening.
In the meantime the British COM
mander returned to ConstantinopIe,
where he remained until early this af-
ternoon, proceeding back to Mudania
on the Iron Duke to hear the Tu,ks'
decision.
Turks Disappointed in France
The Turkish delegates were some-
what dismayed and disappointed over
the turn of events in the last two dayz.
The new attitude taken by France after
the Faris conference puzzled them and
they were amazed that French friepd-
ship, on which they counted as a rnair
prop in the negotiations, did not yse,s
the results they expected.
AT the session of the conferences
Monday night Ismet Pasha expressed
dissatisfaction at the terms the A,lsess
offered. He said to General iHsrlIy-

After the close Of the formal ora-
ceedings Ismet, in the courss Of eon-
versation, said: ~

against the Greeks, France promising 2

responsibility, therefore, is consider
able.
Ismet Complains of Delay
eff no agreement is reached our
army will insist on marching into
Thrace, bus every days delay-caused
BY our reliance on favorable armistice

vantage"
In addressing Ismet Pasha at the
of last nights conference,
General Harrington uttered stern
warming to the Nationalists, declaring
that if they engaged Great Britain in
war they would have a difficult ad-
"Great Britain has a considerable
number Of warships, large number of
While the British people want
peace" he concluded, "they are equally
determined TO have fair play and ara
dangerous opponents when aroused.
"You have said that your only de-
sire is for peace continued General
Harrington. "It seems to ME that the
Allied powers offer it to you. All of
your national aspirations will be at
tanned without loss Of human life,
without danger to the future peace and J.
of your country. Your
aims will be entirely within your hands
in forsy-fve days. We offer you peace;
we hope you will accept it"
Greeks Make Reservations
The Greek delegates exchanged nu-
merous messages by wireless with
Athens, for it developed to-day that
the Greeks had accepted the draft sub
ject to two reservations. First, they
desire an alteration of the date for
the evacuation of Thrace, and, second,
the establishment Of the 1915 frontier,
east Of the Martha, as ratified by the
Treaty Of Neuilly.
