PROSPECTS FOR PEACE
SOMEWHAT DARKENED;
London, 8ept $7.—Anxiety Is renew
ed owing to the evident reluctance of
tbe Kemallst officers to order the
Withdraws! of the Turkish, cavalry
from the Chanak sone In the Dardanel
les. Instead of withdrawing, another
detachment numbering 1,000
crossed the border from Blgha.
It Is stated in exteuatton of these
movements that they were ordered
fore receipt of the allied Joint note
and the British authorities therefore,
are making every prudent allowance
for the difficulties of communjpitl
and the possibility that Mustopba Kc.
mal is not directly responsible for the
local commanders to order a retire-
Gen/ Harlngton. British commander
of the allied forecs in Constantinople,
has stipulated a time limit of forty-
eight hours for withdrawal,, of the
Turks, but considerately allows the
period to date from tbe time of tho
celpt of his wireless dispatch| His ulti
matum, therefore, is somewhat elastic.
The British military authorities,
while thus doing their utmost to avoid
precipitating trouble, do not conceal
that the situation entails much danger.
Tbe Kemelists apparently contend
that the British and applied * govern
ments should cease military operations
during the sittings of the proposed
peace conference, or conversely, that
tbe Kemalists should be permitted to
continue troops movements during the
progress of the negotiations, and, al
though it Is very generally believed
that Keraal Is not desirous of provok-
conflict, apprehension will con
tinue until the invading cavalry re
tires.
London,

manned by reolutloneries bare left
tbe island of Mitylene, apd are .p

a message from an authoritative
source, received here.
The immediate cause of the revolt
was an order for the demobilization
of soldiers 'who had been evacuated
to the Mlt>!ene end Chioh Islands, the
men wishing to keep their rifles as
trophies or perhaps for personal pro
tection. '
