Mudania Conference FRANCE ACCEPTS PLAN AS SOON AS RECEIVED Kemal’s Troops Held in Check As Prep-rafinfiu are Made for ParleyTomarrow — (By United Press) (By Webb' Miller) Paris, Oct. 2—Immediate danger of ‘war between Great Britain and Turkey in the Near East has been averted through the peace proposal of Mustapha Kemal, the French for- eign office believed. It was their opinion that the English government would accept a proposal of Musta- pha, leader of the:Turkish national- ists, that-a preliminary peace parley be held in Mudani, Asia: Minor, to- MOITrow. 5 The, French government accepted the Kemalist plan immediately-after it had been informed of it by Yusef Kemal, the Turkish foreign minister. Yusef’s communication was relayed to the government at Rome and Lon- don and France. The plan may be summarized as follows: First: That representatives of Tur- key, Great Britain, France, Italy and Greece meet at Mudania Tuesday for a preliminary peace conference, at which it’is hoped that an immediate armistice.can be réached and a basis for a -final peace ‘conference, to be held about Octob®r ‘15th, -worked cut. ¥ 3 -.Second :: = That<shwmilitary opera-/ tions of Kemal in the Chanak and Ismid areas -of the neutral zone be suspended pending the Mudania conference, s e Third: That Turkey be allowed to ocupy Thrace as far as the Marit- za river at once.. This, it'is clRimed is necessary in order.to prevent atro-| cities on the Turks by the Greeks: The attitude of Greece in the mat-. ter is causing France grave concern. (By United Préss) London, Oct. 2—The Turkish Nat; ionalist assembly at Angora today unanimously accepted the Mudan peace conference according to a cen- tral mewspaper dispatch from 'Con- staritinople. ¢ iy i (By United Preas) Constantinople, Oct.. 2—Mustapha Kemal’s command|; held the Turks in check today as preparations were made for the peate parley.at Mu- dania tomorrew; making good their leader’s promise to the allids when he accepted the invitation for the confference: The Kemalists in the Chanak area of : the! ‘neutral zone made no effort to ‘draw closer to Britaifi’s line of trefches. I 2R AT GRAND TOMORROW “Cardigan” a romantic, historical drama based on the well-known novel bf Robertt Wi Chambers, wil] be shown at the Grand theatre Tuesday and Wednesday evening, with a spec- ial matipee Tuesday afteroon at 3:45 for school children,, the admission for the school children being set at 15 cents. The net proceeds of this show are to go to the American Leg- ion State Hospital at Rochester for the benefit of disabled and ill ex- service men. Popular prices are to be charged throughout -and it is expected that each showing of this famous film will be largely atended.” The local post of the American Legion is stag- ing this show as its contribution to the Legion hospital. Hearty publie sup- port is ured this worthy cause, the show itself being worth far more than the admission price asked. DR. C. A.
