PRIVATE MESSAGES SAY
PARIS, Oct. Shy the Associated
Press.)-An agreement has been
reached by the conference of allied
and Turkish military leaders at Mu'

nelles.

Thrace within ten days. If the
Greek government refuses to give
the necessary orders, the allied
fleets are to blockade the Greek
ports and the Kemalist forces cross
the Dardanelles and drive the Greek
troops out of Thrace.
The dispatches do not say whethe4'
the Greek representatives accepted
these conditions.
According to kilograms from Turk
ish sources in Mudania received in
Constantinople the agreement regard
ing the neutral zones reached by the
allied and Turkish representatives
provides that no Notifications shall
be constructed on either side of the
straits of Dardanelles, and that the
military operations Of the British in
Turkey shall cease Immediately.
MARTHA RIVER LINE
STILL IN QUESTION
LONDON, Oct. 5.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-The report of the
first two days proceedings of the al
lied generals conference with the
Turkish Nationalists at Mudania
have produced a sanguine feeling
here, some believing that an arml-
stice clearing the way for a peace
conference Is already assured.
1t was reported yesterday that g..
protocol establishing an armistice
had been actually signed but authen
tic confirmation is lacking. The lat
est information to the Associated
Press, was to the effect that, not
withstanding general hopeful status
of the situation, the question Of
Thrace was still barring the way to
settlement.
While the allies have agreed to
turn over Thrace to the Turkish
army in thirty days. they have not
acceded to the Turks request that
the western line CT the Martha river
be occupied by allied troops for pro.
lection against Greek flank attack
on the Turkish occupying army.
The determined attitude of the
Greek army and the new Athens
government is also to be reckonei
with. Colonel Plastiras, chief Greek
delegate, made it plain to the other
conferees that the Greek military
leaders were determined to resist ev-
cry attempt to restore Turkish SOY
ereignty over Oriental Thrace.
Reuters has received the following
from a semi official source in Athens:
According to the newspapers an
American destroyer engaged in en-
barking refugees at Avail was bonn
barded by the Turkish garrison"
Avail Is on the Asia Minor coast
north of Smyrna, opposite Mytilene.
GREECE MAY CALL ON
AMERICA FOR AID
ATHENS, Oct. 5.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)eConsternat was
caused here by Constantinople
wireless message picked up last night
by local station purporting to give
the armistice conditions arranged by
the Turks and the allies at the Mu-
DANA conference.
The conditions outlined in the mes
sage include the occupation Of east
ern Thrace by allied forces ard
Turkish gendarmes up to the line OF
the river Martha, and evacuation Of
the province within ten days by the
Greek army, failing which the allied
fleets would blockade Greece.
Government officials declare the
Greek delegates have not yet had an
opportunity to present their views at
Mudania, and efforts to confirm the
above report are being made.
It is understood that the officials
are considering an appeal to the
United States for assistance in OBJ
tanning a just solution Of the Thra-
clan question.
The suggestion is made that, If orr
entail Thrace must be lost, Greece
insists upon some kind Of autOno-
nous rule there, and above all an
agreement that no Turkish troops
shall exercise dominion Of the coun-
try-in other words, Turkish SOW
ereignty without military control.
General Nider has been appointed
connnander-in-chief Of the Greek
army.
The government hopes further to
reinforce the army through the pop
ular call for volunteers for service
until the end of the conflict with
Turkey, issued by the minister of
war yesterday.
Greece feels that her readiness to
defend Thrace must be taken into
account both in arranging the arms,
tice and liter at the peace confer
4ace.
