Immediately by Vrench, . ' troops who
were to undertake to return Thrace
fto Turkey as eoon as the Greek
-..evacuation was completed.
The danger in the situation, how
ever, lies in the fact that the driving
- power behind the Turks is soviet Rus
sia. It is two years since the Bolshe-
. viki concentrated all their efforts on
( this part of the. world and the Turks
without their support would never
have been . able to organize the army
they have. It is true that the. greater
part, of the Turkish war material is
of French origin, but it was paid for
by Russian gold and Bolsheviki gen-
erals are still at the Nationalist head
quarter. ,
vBOLSHETIKI URGE WAB
All the information available here
clearly indicates that the Bolsheviki
are advising the Turks to keep up
their belligerent attitude and are as
suring them of full ' military support
' in case of - an armed conflict with
Great Britain. They point out that
this means a new Kuropean conflagra
tion which Great Britain cannot af-
' ford. Should . this happen, they say;
-Turkey and Russia will have every -
..thing to gain, while the British will
have everything to lose.
It is difficult to forecast what
Kemal Pasha's next step will be. He
. Has boasted often that be -would drive
the British out of Constantinople. To
back out now would endanger his own
I prestige and position. However, he
fully realizes the tremendous responsi
bility of Involving Turkey in a new
'-.war with Great Britain, and I under
stand that he is trying to obtain
..everything by diplomatic means re
gardless of the opinion of his staff
that Great Britain is unable to fight.
TOUGH FOB BRITISH
The British forces in the neutral
' sons are atill small, though rein
forcements are arriving daily. Should
the Turks attack, it is probable that
the British land force will have a
bard time at first to meet the Turkish
onslaught. . On . the other hand, the
fleet 'has ' been reinforced and is able
' to give effective support to the land
forces. Besides two destroyer flotillas
- and a light cruiser squadron, several
r men of war from the . Atlantic fleet
have: reached the straits. A large nam
feer f airplanes is expected soon and
the airplane ' Arethusa
towards Constantinople.

1S22 "'.'-r
Paris, Sept. 21. The interview be
tween Lord Curron, the British for
eign minister, and Premier Potncare.
which began Wednesday, developed
rapidly Into a conference in Near East
ern affairs with Ambassador Count
Sforza taking part for Italy and Lord
Beatty waiting in an anteroom as naval
expert. Indeed, though the British dele
gate is said to have come to Paris with
full powers to negotiate a full accord
matters ct such importance came up
Wednesday night that he had referred
them oack to-London. The next meet
ing of the conference, therefore, was
adjourned -until Friday.
Presumably the discussion turned
about the .Dardanelles but practically
it must have embraced a variety of
other subjects erode oil. for instance.
Why do the British place such a great
value on -the freedom of the straits?
Is it because Constantinople forms a
vital point in the. trade of the Levant?
Perhaps. But what is the most im
portant commodity passing Constanti
nople? It is oil from the wells at Baku
in the Caucasus, in the far end of the
Black sea. The British Mediterranean
fleet might be severely crippled if a
hostile force of Turks cut off this
promising supply of fuel at Constanti
nople or Chanak. The only way to
prevent it. is to come to an agreement
with the Angora government and
abandon Greece,
On the other hand, it is difficult to
see what vital interest France possesses
in Turkey despite the talk about Syria.
Money to meet debts at home is far
more important and that can only be
obtained by forcing it out of Germany.,
But one. perhaps, can be placed
against the other. : By holding out at
the Dardanelles, M- Potncare may be
able to wring important concessions
from Prime Minister Lloyd George re
garding Germany. Such a bargain, at
any rate, forms the subject of con
jecture among politicians here.
IEMAL'9 DEMAND CAPSES
HITCH IN PEACE FLANS
Paris. Sept 21.-MU. P.) The coun
ter demand of Kemal. leader of the
Turkish Nationalists, who now insists
that he be allowed to occupy Eastern
Thrace pending peade negotiations, has
caused a hitch in plans for setting the
date for the Near East conference.
Britain, the French foreign office
let it be understood, was the only
nation holding out against this demand
of the Turks.
Lord Curson. British foreign minis
ter, stated that he could not give an
answer to it until tomorrow, after
he had consulted Lloyd George.
Following this consultation. Curron
and Premier Polncare of France will
confer.
It was believed' that an Anglo-Turkish
conflict is inevitable unless Curron
is permitted to grant the demand of
Kemal.
Reports from the region of the Dar
danelles received here stated that
Britain was going forward with her
plans of using force against Kemal
if be invaded the neutral sone of the
straits. I
