IS OLD JHO D VGH a ~ P - _ f GREEKS DELAY FIRiST SESSION OF CONFERENCE Constantinople, Oct. 3.-The preli minary conference for the settlement of peace in the Near East began at Muldania today with the Allied gen erals and Ismet Pasha, representing the Turkish Nationalists, present. The meeting was called to order at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, but was shortly adjourned to Wednesday to permit the attendance of the Greek representatives. Gen. Mazarakis and Col. Sarriyan nis, who were yesterday appointed by the Greek cabinet to set in be half ff Greece, arrived in Mudania aboard a Greek destroyer this eve ning and will take their places at the conference table tomorrow. Gen. Harrington, commander-in chief of the Allied forces, will deal with the military question in the negotiations as he deems best, a free hand having been given him by his government in these mat ters. Subjects of a political or eco nomic nature will be referred to the Allied high commissioners who will communicate with their gov ernment. The commissioners will be in continuous contatc with Mudania by wireless. The Allied ministers in Constan tinople are understood to have drawn the attention of the Greek government to the necesisty of keeping the Greek troops in Thrace under control to avoid the possi bility of a conflict. This was due to representations of the Angora gov ern ment. Up to the present 'the Turks have madle no real preparations for their withdrawal from the neutral zones. -Ir~(d according to an oricial report, their slight retreat wans not of ap preciable dlepth. Papers Gives Much Space London, Oct. 3.--If the amount of space given by the press can he re gardled as an indlex of popular con~t cern, this country is on the tip-top of expectancy. Every Lomrlon newspap er devotes its principal columns to the subject. The main feature of the numerous forecasts and speculations is their infinite variety. In anti-Greek quarters the activi ties of formier Premier Venizelos in Paris andl London continue to be viCeed with the greatest suspicion. The Daily Press says M. Venizelos has address*-l the revolutionary gov ernment in Athens to agree in prin ciple to the evacuation of Eastern Thrace, but to tel Ithe Allies that Greece will not evacuate the territor ies until the Powers have dlecidled to (10 so as the final peace terms. The newspaper says the effect of this plan, if adloptedl, would bo that the Gireek army would remain in Tihrace for many weeks longer, andl that the 'condlitiofl from this inevita bly would bring war between the British and the Trurks. It calls upon the British Government andl public to put a stop to the (dangerous in trigue. The report that the Washington admininistration proposes to intevenne ian Summer. YIN ~k ItI AV," "LU .. UNIQIE SFTiTIN( FOR CONFEtENCE Mudania, Oct. 3.-(By the Asso ciated Press.)-Never was there a stranger setting for a conference of world powers than this little village, on the Southern shores of the Sea of Marniora. Even the presence of the great warships of England, France and Italy, seemed incongruous in the tiny cove belted with rocks and mud which is'Mundania's harbor for their only neighbors were a few scattered fishing boats and nondescript barges. A few hundred yards from the point selected for the anchorage of the great Iron Duke lie the gaunt skeletons, half submerged, of two Turkish transports sunk by British submarines during the World War. Nothing about M,udania is im pressive, save the bulk of snow capped Mount Olympus rising ma jestically in the distance. The town is squalid and depressing. The houses are of mud, shaped like huge beetles and the stores thrust their latticed windows into the narrow, crooked streets. There is no sound of railway or motor truck to disturb. There is no evidence of modern life, save two telephonb wires into the offices of the police chief and the mayor. There is no evidence of the modern world of business except tho unpretentious of fice of the Standard Oil Company. The town has been of little im portance since the days when it was the port of entry for Brusa in the period when that city was the capital of the Turkish empire. About a year ago it flashed into pr. inence when the now deposed King Constan tine, of Greece, made his triumphal entry into Asia Minor in the vain dIream that this was to be the beginn ing of the reestablishment of the Greek empire. Such was the setting toda~y of the conference to which military representatives of the Allied powers hurried across seventy miles of water from Constantinople. Every effort was made to main tain complete secrecy' andl privacy for the conference andl the bay was as effectively barricaded as though the surface of the seas of Marnmora were marked out with barbed wire entanglements. For 48 hours nloody has been permittedI to enter tho area aroundl the gulf of Gemlek without special papers. The Southeast is 'cleaning house" Let's make 'Superiqr Eating." (S. E.)

None of the pap era comment edlitorially up)on it, but any development from the American side is followed here wIth the keenest, interest, and there is a certain section of opinion wvhich would heartily wel come any action b~y the United States which migrht helln unravel the a ngle.
