Monday AftaJJhf OctoW 2, 1922 3c Per Copy KEMAL BRNGS SOME RELIEF london, Oct. 1 (By tbe Associated Press).- With the virtual acceptance of Mustapha Kemal Pasha of a conference at Mudania Tuesday or aa soon as possible thereafter, the whole Near Eastern situation is considered temporarily easier. However, the fact that Turkish troops are still concentrating in the Ismid zone, notwithstanding that they have retired slightly in the Chanak zone, would indicate, according to remarks made after the British cabinet's second meeting today, that "Kemal is still playing a game." While the cabinet members appear to be much gratified at the happy conclusion for the movement of a difficulty which might have necessitated the use of force in the Chanak zone, there are other bridges to cross. Up to the present there is no Information from General Harington, the British comma dcr at Constantinople, that Kemal will attend the Mudania conference, although General Harington's dispatches indicate he might. After special cabinet meetings Saturday, one of them running into 1 o'clock Sunday morning, information from the Near East was considered not altogether satisfactory and two additional meetings were held today It is possible others will be held Monday, though Premier Lloyd Georgo went to Chequers Court, his summer residence, late this afternoon. The Mudania meeting will be a purely military affair to arrange, according to the original allied note to Kemal Pasha that the neutral zone shall, be respected and also to agree upon lines behind which the Greeks are to withdtaw in Thrace, both points pending the general peace conference. There will be present military representatives of the three allid powers as well of Greek aud Turkey. It is pointed out that the very basis of this conference is respect for the neutral zone and before it begins the Turks will be expected to evacuate the Chanak area entirely. On this point there has been quibbling until the British cabinet permitted General Ilarington to send a virtual ultimatum to the TurJ<s to clear it. Although the Turks have not yet withdrawn completely, they have evacuated the heights of Eren Geui and have desisted also from parading before the British wire entanglements. If the Turks around Ismid commence such actions or attempt to enter the neutral zone at that point, there is likelihood that the British will raise the question before entering th'' conference. It is known that wniifl uenerai Harington is making' every effort to maintain peace, he is a most exacting and determined person when given cause. Another question which may arise within the conference is the form of government or control to be established in Thrace pending the terms of peace. It is certain that the Turks will demand that they be permitted lo take over and occupy Thrace immediately to protect their nationals, keep order and prevent confusion and crime with the withdrawal of the Greeks. It is suggested that allied officials and troops might be used for this purpose. Under these heads the conference promises many disputes. In some diplomatic circles there Is a certain optimism over the situation, it beinj^ pointed out that the Turks are "too wise to fight" when they know they risk all by such a course, whereas they are assured of many advantages before the peace conference opens. The Turks evidently have made a concessions with regard to the time limit set for the embarkation of refugees at Smyrna, which expired Saturday. They did not officially extend the limit, hut they are permitting, without molestation, the vessels now in Smyrna harbor to take the refugees aboard, and many are being evacuated under the American and Rrifioh florra If ia aairl fViof an foe 170,000 have been embarked, but nearly as many more are still awaiting: relief. The presence in London of the former Greek premier, Venizelos, continues to occupy attention. He called officially at the foreign office this morning:, but did not see Lord Curzon nor Premier Lloyd George at No. 10 Downing street. It is explained that his visits might be misinterpreted. However, there is no doubt that he intends to act abroad for Greece and that he will attempt to secure a favorable settlement from a Greek viewpoint of Thrace and other questions. Venizelos is silent on the advisability of action by the new Greek cabinet toward the reorganization of the irmv and the defense of Thraee - m i Operator* and Officials Meet Cleveland, Oct. 2 (By the Associated Press).?The bituminous operators and officials of the United Mine Workers gathered here for a Joint conference late today to arrange for futurs wags scales, in accordance with the Agreement which ultimately brought to an end the soft coal strike. 1 GONATAS OUTLINES POLICY OF GRECI Athens, Oct. 1 (By the Associate Press).?"I am not, as you have seen a Robespierre and I don't want to b( thought of as a military dictator, said Colonel Gonatas, leader of tin revolutionary movement, today in dis cussing the Grecian revolt, whicl probably will go down in history a: one of the most capably organized an< one of the swiftest military upheaval) ever aifecting the world nations. Colonel Gonatas modestly disclaim ed that his brain was the creativ< force and his genius which broughi the movement to its amazingly quid conclusion. "It was the officers about me," he said, "and they did me tht honor to make me their leader." A handsome man of about 45 year* is Colonel Gonatas. His black hail brushed back crowns an intellectun face, which often breaks into a pleas ant smile as, in French, he talks oi the revolution. "We who made this revolution,' continued Colonel Gonatas, "eamest.'j hope the people of the United States will understand why we made it ant that they will give their sympathy tc us and, generally speaking, espou3< our cause. For this revolution had 1c come. It was the verv locric of human events. "We were misgoverned at home and because of that we met military disaster abroad. So we decided tc come home and remove both the king and the government?to put our house in order. We removed the king because he was an embarrassment ?r our relations with the countries of the entente. He was an embarrassment so we asked him to make way for his son. "We brought with us to Athens ar army of sufficient size to render all resistance ineffective and we carried through the revolution without shedding a single drop of blood. We arrested five civilians who we considei were responsible for our defeat lr Asia Minor, and two officers for trying to foment resistance to us with, out governmental authority. "It was a matter of honor with vie to protect the king. Constantine left yesterday for Palermo on the steamci Patriae, which sails sometimes foi America* aceompanied-by an hafl??>q escort of torpedo boat destroyers provided by the revolutionary committee 'Until tried by special tribunals the civilian prisoners wil be transfered to and kept o nan island in the Aegean sea." These civilians include men like former Premier Gounaris and Stratos Colonel Gonatas explained his im mediate program to tne correspondeni ?collaboration with tre entente countries, the immediate reinforcement ol the Thracian front and the activt pushing of the war against the Turks if necessary, and then securing th? unity of all parties at home "whior have been separated up to now bj hatred, one against the other." Thus, it was added, he hoped to sav< Greece. The revolutionists had requestei the assistance of former Premiei Venizelos abroad, though not at home Colonel Gonatas continued, but Veni | zelos had not yet been heard from All parties had counselled the main i tenance of the military government | but the revolutionary committee ha( I An tUu AAntromr fo * non-partisan cabinet to hold pow< i ' until the election and installation ?>J a new national assembly, when th< revolutionary committee itself woul< cease to exist. Asked if the revolutionists had an] idea of creating a republic, Colona Gonatas replied: "I personally think the time ha: not yet arrived for Greece to becom< a democracy. ySome years must pas: before the pebple can govern them selves in the form of a republic. "We visited King George and sx plained to him our movement.

The with- fc e drawal of the Turks from Eren Keui, j - end, as semi-officially reported, also a i from their position at Chanakk, is ac- c s cepted as proof of the Angora gov- 1 i emment's readiness to comply with c i the allied desires. e It is explained here that there will e - bo two conferences at Mudania, the t i hrst between General Harington, the i, t British commander, and Mustapha t c Kemal or his representative alone. t This is to settle the question regard- 8 worded yith marked firmness. It cred- 8 its the entente with sentiments of P ' justice toward Turkey, but demands * t that Thrace shall not be left one day ^ longer under the Greek army, saying d that^it is indispensable that Thraue 8 restored to the Angora government e up to the west of the Maritza river, * ? including Adrianople. 8 The note, which is signed by Yussuf c 8 Kemal, minister of foreign affairs, be- " gins by saying that a formal reply to ! the entente's note will be sent in a t few days by his government. "Confident in the assurances which s tj M. Franklin-Bouillon has given the s | commander-in-chief of the Turkish ii jirmies in accord with the representa- e - tives of the entente powers meeting s in Paris and persuaded that negotia- o 8 tions will at once be proceeded with to ?! establish a just peace," the note con- 1 ' tinues, "an order has been given to ^<top immediately our military move8 ments which have been unceasingly developing in the direction of Con- t 1 stantinople and Chanak Kaleh in pur- r i* suit of the Greek ironies. 1 "The assurances^ftren by M. Frank. t - 1 in-Bouillon have I^Jklished the sen- ( timents of justice*with which the , - propositions of the entente are truly ? inspired, with a view to assurincr the 11 rights of Turkey. Nevertheless, as the ] * maintenance of Thrace, if only for a r day more, under the administration f and occupation of the Greek army is ( 2 a cause of danger of every kind and 1 grief to Turkey's peoples, it is indis- j pensable that Thrace to the west of ( f the Maritza river, with Adrianople, 1 be evacuated immediately and re. ( stored urgently to the government ol ? the national assembly of Turkey." | - The reply, in conclusion, accepts ? Mudania for a conference on October - 3, and names Ismid Pasha, commander of the armies on the west front, us - Turkish representative and asks to 1 2 be inforced as to the names of gen- 1 1 erals representing the entente powers.

GARRISON MAKES MANY CHANGES Mexico City, Oct. 1.?In consequence of yestAday's revolt at Juarez, which is now regarded as completely put ^own, the war office has determined to adopt a policy of changing garrisons at all border cities every three months as a precautionary measure against furth-r uprisings. It is believed the troops stationed at border cities are subject to extremely insidious propaganda directed from the American side of the border. Secretary of War Zerran today expressed suprise at the defection of any portion of the 43rd battalion, as it has an enviable fighting record. Despatches received here today say the rebels have been scattered. Several scores were made prisoner and numerous others surrendered th ii arms and asked clemency. Newspapers here without exception treat the uprising in Juarez as an isolated movement although El Universal's Juarez correspondent reports a simultaneous uprising yester lay at Chihuahua City, which was promptly suppressed. Revolutionary activities throughout the republic have been few of late although reports have been received here from time to time of uprisings of Vera Cruz. Oxaoa, Tamaulipas and Jalico.

CROSSES OCEAN IN FISHING JUNK # Victoria, B. C.f Oct. 1.?Details of the 91 day voyage of the Amoy, th^ 23 ton Chinese fishing junk that brought Captain Waard, his Chinese wife and their nine year old son safely across a 5,300 mile expanse of the I'acilic, were told by the old sailor yesterday as he helped his wife hang washing on the yard arm. "Jes' decided I wanted to come baVk tq Canada," he began. "Steamships?Lordy, how I hate 'em, the dirt and the smell and everything. A feller meets sailors only on a sailing ship. So 1 went down to Amoy and built this here junk that brought us along. There were some folks in Shanghai what wanted to come, but I told 'em no?we were comin' without a doctor, no ice chest and no fresh provisions. 'We had nlenLv of water for drink mg, but not a drop for bathin' or the wushin' of clothes. We had a crew of three Chinese and they didn't worry about that." The Amoy ran into many storms, Captain Waard continued, but the calms caused the most trouble. The Amoy floundered about helplessly in tl im, lost time and went off her ( urse. Twice the rudder was carried aw ly and he had to rig a jury rudder which cut down the junk's headway. ' 'he course mapped out was northward to Hakodate, Japan, and thenca to cross the Pacific on the 42nd or 43) d parallel of latitude. Contrary we ither was met on the two weeks between Shanghai and Hakodate and typhoons several times forced the vessel to shelter. The port anchor broke at the ring and the captain had to buy two new anchors at the Japanese port, reached on July 12. Hakodate was left behind on July 18. when the weather moderated, but the lull proved to be only temporary. The Amoy em ounterod a succession of easterly wi ids and gales from the south. which drove the vessel up into 54 to the Aleutian islands and Behring sea. With good weather the Anioy was making eight and nine miles an hour. In one" day she did with a beam wind 15?l miles. But she never properly had a fair day's wind. Often she would make 25 miles with a good breeze and drift hack ?0 at night . . he -aimed. * ? 'The Amoy'll ride anything," Captain Waard said, but she brought me on the roughest voyage I ever made."
