S. NAVAL SHIP Washington, Oct. 5.—The re- port that an American destroyer was bombarded by the Turks at Aivali, a town north of Smyrna, first carried in a Reuters dis- patch from Athens, is repated in a dispatch from Athens received today by the Greek legation. The legation dispatch gave no de- tails. Neither the navy nor the state department today had any con- firmation of the’ reported at- tack. 3} (By the Associated Press) i London, Oct. 5.—The reports of the frist two days proceedings of, the allied generals conference with the/ ; Turkish Nationalists at Mudania! have produced a sanguine feeling! here, some believing that an armis-‘ i tice clearing the way for a peace} | conference is already assured. | It was even reported yesterday that a: protocol establishing an arm- istice had been actually signed, but {authentic confirmation of this is lacking. The latest information to the Associated Press contained in | dispatches which left Constanti- | nople shortly before midnight, was to the effect that, notwithstanding the generally hopcful status of the situation the question of Thrace was still, barring the. way to scttlement. While the allies have, agreed to ; turn over Thrace: to the Turkish |army in thirty days, they have not acceded ot the Turks’ request that | the western line of the Maritza river be occupied by allied troops as pro- tection against a Greek flank attack on the Turkish occupying army. The determined attitude of the Greek army‘and the new Athens gov- ernment is also to be reckoned with. Colonel Plastiras, chief Greek dele- gate, made it plain to the other -con- ferees that the Greek military lead- ers were determined to resist every attempt to restore Turkish sover- eignty over Oriental Thrace. REACH AGREEMENT Paris, Oct. 5—An agreement has been reached by the conference of! lallied and Turkish military leaders at Mudania, and will be signed some-| time today, according to private dis- patches received here. The main lines | of the agreement says The Figaro al First, the British and Turks both’, to withdraw from the neutral zone ; on the Southern shore of the Dar-! danelles, the British to Gallipoli, and the Turks behind the line formed by the rivers Grancous and Skamander- | ko. Second, the Turks, agyee that the! jallies remain in Constdap ople dur- ing the peace negotiations on condi-; tions that the Kemalist civil ‘au- thorities are also installed there. Third, the Greek army to evacuate | i Thrace within ten days. If the Greek ' | government refuses to give the nec-| essary orders, the allied fleets are to blockade the Greek ports and the Kemalist forces across the Darda- nelles and drive the Greek troops out of Thrace. t | ‘The dispatches do not say whether the Greek representatives accepted these conditions. GREECE DISSATISFIED ; Smyrna, Oct. 5—The agreement ! which has been reached at ‘Mudania conference between the allied and Turkish delegates, according to Mu- dania messages received here, was communicated to the Greek delegates, j who expressed dissatisfaction with \ it, declaring themselves not empow- ered to reply and that they must have instructions from Athens. The message states the agreement provides that the allies and Turks are to evacuate the neutral region of the Dardanelles; , that the allies; will continue their occupation of | Constantinople during the peace’ con- | ference and that they accept the, reestablishment of the Nationalist ; civil government, the departments of {Constantinople and Chanak.

Prospects were that the flames would take even : greater toll. North Bay, Ont., Oct, 5—The fear that upwards of thirty lives have been lost in the fire which is sweep- ing Northern Ontario was expressed in the latest reports available from the affected area early today. Soon after midnight Geo, W. Lee, chairman of the ‘vemiskaming and Northern Ontario railway issued this statement concerning the fire now raging in the Nort country. “More than five thousand people have been rendered homeless. The loss of life is considerable and is mounting. The towns of Haileybury, ; 3,500 people, North Cobalt, 1,000; Charlton, 5,000, ana Heaslip, 260, are totally destroyed and the town of Englehart has been partially destroy- ed. That part of New Liskeard, west of the T, and N. O. tracks has been totally destroyed.” “The situation ir, Cobalt is clear. There is a small fire vurning on mile away with a mild Southwest wind blowing. “Three trains with 24 cars con- taining 1,400 reufgees have left Co- balt for North Bay. Other trains are eing prepared as rapidly as possible. “The property loss will obviously run into millions of dollars. The fire is-still burning riskly, fanned by ‘a subsiding wind. “There is no prospect of rain and the fire will have so burn itself out. “The T. and N. O, tracks fronting the stations at Haleybury, North Co- balt and eHaslip were ddstroyed, the ties burned and the rails warped. It is impossible to maintain traffic. “This is the hardest blow the North country has ever received. Forest fire refugees arrived here today from Haileybury reported that between 50 and 100 persons had. been drowned when they were crowded from a dock where they were-trying to board a rescue ship. SWEEPING DOWN TO QUEBEC Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 5.—Forest fires, raging in Northern Ontario and sweeping down the St. Maurice val- ley to Quebec, have cost -several lives, have destroyed six towns and’ threatened to leave many other razed towns in their wake of destruction unless rain fall comes soon to check the flames, Several score people are missing, property worth millions of dollars is destroyed and flames are still advancing. North Liskeard was today added te the list. of destroyed North Ontario towns. Two stone houses alone mark- ed the spot where the village had been.
