CAPITAL MOVED + OFFENSIVE 5 CARRIED ON Turk Strength Cut 75)}—————_' Per Cent by Losses in Asia Minor LONDON, July 26.—The Turkish Nationalist govern- ment, owing to the successful Greek advances in Asia Mi- nor, has been obliged to trans- fer the seat of its government and the Turkish Nationalist assem- bviy to Sivas, according to Constant! nople dispatches to the Exchange Tele- graph company. ATHENS, July 26.—An annonnee- ment by the Greek official agenry late yesterday said the Turkish loxses in tilled, wounded, prisoners and missing amount to 76 per cent of their entire fighting strength in Asia Minor. The statement claims the Greeks have driven such a wedge into the Turkish Nationalist lines that the Kemalist forces at Angora, the capital, on the northern branch of the Bagdad railway, have been cut off from those at Konish, on the main line of the railway 150 miles to the south. “Having occupied Atiun-Karahissar, Kutala, Eski-Shehr and Billedjik, which now comprise our consolidated front, our troops in the northern sec- r_and those of the southern sector ve effected a junction and form a connected line,” the statement added. “In the center the enemy front has been broken and his troops at Angora have been separated fom those at Konieh.” COUNTER OFFENSIVE CHECKS ADVANCE. CONSTANTINOPLE, July 25.—<By The Associated Press.)—The Turks have halted 40 miles east of Eski- Shehr, at the pass of Altikeuk, and also at Seld?E|-Ghazi, where a counter offer e ‘stopped the Graeks” ad* vance. ‘There seams to be no doubt that the Grecks obtained an important initial success in the taking of Kutala und Eski-Shehr, due to their great super- jority in artillery. » Allied military observers, however, do not consider that a decision has been reached in the fighting. FLEEING TURKS PURSUED BY GREEKS. ESKL-SHEHR, July 25.—(By The sociated Press.)—The Greeks en- tered Eksi-Shehr headed by Prince Andrew, but did not stop here. They continued their pursuit of the retreat- ing Turks into the open plains be- yond the city. The Greek advance was made with the utmost rapidity. By night, its path was lighted by scores of immense Blazes all along the road and up the mountainside, consisting of - burning villages, which had been fired’ by the retiring Nationalists. From Ainegul on, in a radius of 50 mflles around Eski-Shehr, few villages are left. Turk- ish prisoners say it is the purpose of Mustapha Kemal Pasha, if he must withdraw in this district, to 1@* the Greeks nothing but homeless refugees to feed. The crops in the fields along the path of the Hellenic army's advance bave been left unharvested by the dis- persed and terrified villagers. This presages famine during the coming winter, as the utmost efforts are re- auired on the part of the Greeks to supply their army alone from its base 600 miles distant at Piraeus. Every Greek soldier is being used in the military operations, the police work at Brussa and Mudania, being Nene by sailors of the Greck ‘set. AS 1. the soldiers aré required in the front line service, none is available. to harvest the ungarnered grain. ~ The Near East Relief already is car- ing for 7,000 Greeks, 4,000 Armenians and 3,000 Turkish refugees in Brussa and are making efforts to meet the appalling new needs created by the recent military developments.
