route for Constantinople, where the
situation Ih viewed with anxiety. It

ported to havo pemu'tated the neutral
zone east of Constantinople and to be
preparing to concentrate forcoH along
the Sa of Marmora for an attack on
the TurkiHh capital.
The situation has given rise to se
rious anxiety and the allied high com.
mlssloners at Constantinople have
been conferring with (ioneral Har
rington, commander of ullied forces
there regarding steps to be taken in
the event of a probable advance by
the nationalists.

alternative but to resist an advance to
the utmost for the purpose of secur
ing respect for the neutral zone estab
lished by the entente und ensuring
free navigation of the straits in ac
cordance with the terms of the treaty
of Sevres.
Never before has tho harbor of
Malta been so empty. Even tho re

that they are concentrating forces to
attack Constantinople.
