The weather was ideal. Within the city the population” was preparing quietly Tor luncheon, with no thought that a strug- gle was about to ensue. Only the hum of Greek airplanes overhead disturbed the repose of the lethargle Turkish town. The Greeks had taken up positions on the outskirts of the city. They, themselves, had planned an offensive that afternoon. So the Turks found their adversarlies more than prepared. Long lines of Kemalist troops could be seen grawling down from the summits of the mountains in serpentine fashion The Greeks hurried to their positions and awaited the order to fige. The Greeks steeled themselves for the on- slaught, The Turkish guns soon were roaring out a flerce volley. Their aim was ac- curate and deadly. Scores of Creeks could be peen falling. By degrees the Kemalists advanced until they were within five kilometers of the city, Their afillery fire was especially offective, The Greek troeps then got into metion and answered the murderous cannon and rifle fire that met them.
