GREEES CONCENTRATING. LONDON, October 7.—Ten thousand Greek troops have been concentrated in the Tchatalja district, eastern Thrace, which Is under control of French cavalry, says a Central News dispatch from Constantinople. Greek officers are reported to have distributed arms to some of the popu- Jation of Thrace, telling them to re- pulse the Turks. Fires have broken out in the forest of Istranja. north of Constantinople, and are spreading in the direccion of the Bosporus. The Turkish newspapers announce 1hat Mustapha Kemal Pasha has left Angora for Mudania, where he hopes 1o meet the British commander, Brig. Gen. Harington, says a Reuter dis- patch. Advices Are Meager. Advices reaching here in regard to the Mudania conference are meager and conflicting. 1t is known that the Turks have de- manded from the allies a categorical statement of consent (o the Turkish occupation of Thrace. Originally this mnswer was demanded by 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon: then the Kemal- ists extended the limit to 6:30, and firally to 8 o'clock. The allied generals meanwhile were or their way back to the conference scene from Constantinople, where they had gone to consul their high com- nissloners and to await further in- structions from their governments.

Inhabitants Are Calm. I | The inhabitants of Greece are out- wardly calm despite the fact that they are governed by a revolutionary com- mittee of officers, who hawe their headquarters in a small house. The only visible signs of the changed or- der are the presence in the govern- ment buildings of new provisional ministers replacing Premier Gounaris and his colleagues, who were arrest- ed and escaped death by a close mar- | gin: the occasional round of the revo- {lutionary watch, which passes through the streets of Athens, and the pres- ence of military in all councils to de- clde important matters. In other respects there is nothing to show that the people realize that their dreams of a greater Greece, of A small Aegean empire and a new Byzantium have come to an end at least tempo- rarily. Loud talk of defending Thrace echoes on all sides, and the policy of passive resistance to the Mudania de- clsions which seems to have been adopted by the revolutionary com- mittee of officers will hardly suffice.

INJUNCTION STAYING ENFORCEMENT LIKELY Chairman Declares Subsidy Will Be Necessary to Keep American Flag on Seas. Masters of Shipping Board vessels were ordered today by Chairman Lasker, by direction of the President and in accordance with Attorney General Daugherty’s liquor opinion, to remove and surrender to Treasury Department officials all intoxicating liquors aboard such ships. The order, which applies to govern- ment ships operated by the board and under charter to private con- (cerns, became effective immediately with respect to vessels in American ports, and will be made effective on those at sea and In foreign ports upon thelr arrival at Amegican ports. Chairman Lasker was -acting on | orders issued by President Harding vesterday immediately after publica- | tion of the opinion handed down by | the Departhent of Justice. The text of Chairman Lasker's order follows: “Under a ruling by Attorney ! i General Daugherty the sale. trans- portation or possession of liquor on ships entering American _territorial waters Is prohibited by law.

Mr. Lasker foresaw not only a stay of enforcement as to foreign ships by this course, but also expressed the | opinion that. regardless of a decfsion of the Supreme Court, American ships would be placed at a permanent dis- advantage, citing as an (llustration that, even though the interpretation | 1as to foreign ships were upheld, it would not prevent their selling liquor up to the three-mile limit, where remaining stocks could be dumped overboard.
