ALLIED F FORCES TOO
WEAK TO CONTROL
SITUATION IN EAST
British Ready to Abandon the
Whole Peace Effort, the
French Are Warned.
ENGLISH OPPOSING WAX
By Associated Press to Every Evening.

By Associated Press TO Every Evening.
London, Oct 9.-The Near East
situation continued TO present dis
turbing potentialities today with the
revolutionary Greek army al Adria
rople declaring II would not retire.
and with the victorious Turkish army
concentrating AZ Brusa and Ismid,
anxious TO reach COnstantinople and
protect the Turks In Thrace.
The uneasiness was increased by the
fact that the Allies are not generally
conceded TO have sufficient armed
forces to control either the Turks OF
the Greeks.
While the British are using the ut
most patience 20 conclude peace, il
Ia believed the Greeks and French
have warned that II a settlement is
not reached the British will abandon
the whole peace effect. At the same
time the belief Is that General Har-
Ington has orders not TO risk any act
of war. and IT appears from the tone
OF the British press-,t that no war with
the Turks would receive popular back
ing.
One OF the points OF insistence re-
gard!ng the present situation with re-
spect 70 the neutral zone. is that what
ever zone Is agreed upon may be-
come permanently neutral. In this
connection Lord Curzon is believed
to have Informed Premier POincare
frankly that the British are not work
ing 20 secure exclusive right Of the
undertakings already and would be
satisfied with League OF Nations
American, or any participation which
would make the straits open TO com
merce and neutral in time OF war
/ Ii Is affirmed that Ismet Pasha is
showing as much reasonableness al
Mudania as is consistent with his IN
structions. and that. for one thing, he
has not demanded that Constantinople
be evacuated at once.
On general lines. the instructions
upon which General Harrington IS act
ing today are TO reiterate 10 Ismet
that the Turks must respect the
neutral zone, and that they cannot
send a large number of troops tC
