ELUDES ALL CAPTURE HIM TURKEY AGREES T0 TERMS, AVOID WAR French, Throwing Them to Allies, Changed I’imuug GREEKS MUST QUIT THRACE Provisions Are That Greeks Vacate in 15 Days and In An Additional Month Kemal Leaders Will Take Control of Province. Mudania, Oct. 11.—(By Associated Press) — The armistice convention signed by the representatives of the Turkish nationalists and the allied powers here late last night contains the exact terms as submitted by Lieut Gen. Harrington the British delegate and the specifications of which were made public yesterday by the Asso- ciated Press. 'Turks Give In Ismet Pasha, the Turkish repre- sentative held out for a larger number of gendarmerie in eastern Thrace and argued lengthily on several othep points but eventually gave way on every point of the allied demands. Gen. Harrington and Gen. Charpy, the latter the French delegate, left tor Constantinople this morning after a few hours sleep aboard their war- ships. Peace London Says London, Oct. 11. — (By Associated Press) — A peaceful solution of the Near Eastern ‘tangle thas apparently been reached on the basis of the sur- render of eastern Thrace to the Turks with proper safeguards for the Chris- tian minorities and the neutrality of the Dardanelles. Terms Are Signed A convention putting into effect an armistice between the Kemalists and Greeks was signed by the delegates at Mudania late last night. The news brought great relief here where there was considerable anxiety lest the Turks remain recalcitrant despite the newly declared unity of the allies. It is belfeved that Ismet Pasha in signing for the Turks, did so under orders from the Angora government to which the allied terms had pre- viously been forwarded. The Kemalists had been given until 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon to ac- cept or reject the allied proposals and the reason for the delay is not known unless last minute changes in the original document were found neces- sary. Allied Terms The allied terms provide for evacua- tion of Thrace within 15 days and complete transfer of the civil admin- istrations to the Turks in an addition- al month; delimitation of new neutral zones along the Dardanelles and Bos- phorus by mixed military commissions and non-occupation of Thrace by Turkish military forces until a peace treaty is signed. French Influence Felt The changed attitude of the French delegates who previously had support- ed the Turkish stand is belleved to have contributed largely to the readi- ness with which the Kemalists yield- ed. Before ggning, Ismet Pasha is sald to have protested that the terms were in contradiction to the assur- ances originally given -him by Gen Charpy. He was told, however, that the French delegates had assented to the new demanas, THOMAS GRACE DEAD 1d Trish Resident of This City for Over Half Century Dies This Afternoon.
