The ministerial confer ences in London have ended for the moment, and Premier Lloyd George has gone to the country for a few days' rest. That the general situation is re garded aseasier is shown by the fact that Mustapha Kemal Pasha, leader of the Turkish nationalists, is apparently making no new move, although accord ing to an Athens report which has reached London, he left Smyrna for Nicomedia, adjoining Ismid, south of Constantinople, while it is said to night that Admiral Earl Beatty may find it unnecessary to proceed to Paris. On the other hand, perhaps, the -most important news o fthe day comes . in the Associated Press dispatches from Constantinople stating that Kemal has sought permission of the allies to occupy part of Thrace imme diately and discuss the question. of the status of the Dardanelles later in connection with the general pea.e problem and with the participation of the Black Sea countries. This touches the crux of the whole question. There may possibly be an agreement letween Great Britain, France and Italy on the question of the neutrality o1 the straits and . a further agreement that Constantinople shall eventually be returned to. the Turks under certain conditions. But on the question of the future of Thrace, outside the neutral zone, such an agreement is lacking. Kemal Pasha seemingly takes the view that there is nothing in the maintainance of the neutrality of the straits and the neutral zone to pre vent hia forces from pursuing the de feated Greeks into those portions of Thrace outside the neutral zone. The British contention is that under no circulstances wil lthe Turks be al lowed to cross into Europe until peace has been settled. But is not certain that France . sees eye to eye with Great Britain in this matter. The fact that France and Italy are rithdrawing.. their. detachments from this ;egion\vould indicate tiere is ladk of agreement and that Great Britain may be called upon to act alone. In that case it is understood parlia ment will forthwith be summoned so that,tho ,nation may have a voice .in the important question of peace or wvar. The labor party is displaying .very determined oposition to an~y wpar until the-last resources of diplo *macy and negotiation are exhausted and a safmilar dispositiontiappears' to prevail in the great dominions, deC spnite' their readiness to stand beside the mother .country in defense of the neutrality of tflie Dardanelles. In official circles in -London it -is not anticipated that there will be any peace conference. It is understood in structions given to Lord Curzon by the cabinet on the general line of policy are to intimate very frankly to M Poincare that if France refuses to participate In necess~ry action in the Near East, she may Rtand to lose, as she did many years ago, when she re fused to join England in the bombard ment of Alexandria and so started a train of events *hich brought 'Egypt under British influence. . M. Poincare will be told that Eng land is absolutely set In her view that the Turks shall not be permitted to enter Europe and , that Great Britain is prepared to employ her own 'forces in sufficient numbers and over any length of time to bring the Turks to reason. She will be also informrped that assurances -have been received from Rumania and Jugo Slavia that under certain conditions those coun tries will side with Great Britain. . It is reported Premier Lloyd George is prepared to make a general appeal to the civilized world to support the British- policy.

The British government is still without a forinal reply from the Angora government to the 'allied warn ings concerning the neutral zone. In its strong adherence to the semi-offi cial statement issued Saturday, the govonrmenbt is Imbued with the belief that an exhibition - of firearms and solidarity of the whole empire in maintaining the British stand con cerning the straits and the neutral zone is the best method of bringing to the realization of the Angora gov ernment that nothing can be gained by forcing the situation.
