Gleason's opinion is that Mrs. Stillman has proven her ‘counter charge that Stillman was intimate with Florence Helen Leeds; that he maintained her as his wife, and that they had two children, However, no divorce is granted to Mrs. Stillman as she did not apply for actual separation. Gleason's recommendations will go before Supreme Court Justice Mor- schauser at Poughkeepsie and he will be required either to confirm or re- ject them. Stillman's attorneys probably will file objections to his confirmation, however, and will also appeal the case, which will lead to a further legal fight Following 1s tno text of the dect- sion: “Supreme Court, Putnam County— “James A, Stillman, plaintiff, va.

Harrington at Constantinople to demand im- mediate withdrawal of Turkish troops from the neutral zone. The government assured Harrington he would have its complete support in demanding the withdrawal * He was authorized to decide whether to impose a time mit. This official announcement was made following the re- ceipt of information from Gen. Harrington that Kemal had promised to cease his advance in the zone. The leader of the Turkish nationalists, in his communica- | tion to Gen. Harrington also agreed to meet the British com- | mander-in-chief in a conference to be held soon, probably | Monday. KEMAL’S REPLY IS \BRANDED EVASIVE It was unofficially stated that the government had re- tceived Kemal’s reply to the original ultimatum and regarded it as unsatisfactory and evasive. It was pointed out that Kemal’s promise to cease advancing meant nothing, as it was impossible for his troops to advance |further without penetrating the British barbed wire or .| marching into the sea. The government’s instructions to Gen. Harrington followed receipt of information that the Turks are pouring into the zone in large numbers and had entirely occupied the area with the exception of a 15-mile radius around the town of Chanak. The instructions came to Harrington after the morning | meeting of the cabinet, at which the ministers were advised of reports that the Kemalists were in actual contact with the British wired defenses and that at some points they had | reached the shores of the Dardanelles. The British commanders are most patient, it was pointed out, but it was agreed that further encroachments would jeopardize the military position and cannoy be allowed to continue. This is the second ultimatum that has been served {on Kemal. The first was handed to him by the allied admirals in the Near East and it was demanded that he eyacuate the neutral }zone within 48 hours. CONTINUES TO SEND TROOPS TO CHANAK Kemal continued to pour his legions into the Chanak region before the entrenched British. Kemal gave an evasive answer to this ultimatum in which he stated that he had no cognizance of the existence of a neutral zone. This answer was described by high British officials as impertinent.” KEMALISTS POUR IN CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 29.—The Turkish infantry is in possession of the entire Chanak area, except a semi- circle sector 15 miles deep around the town of Chanak, which is held by the entrenched British, it was reported here today. Masses of Kemalist infantry continued to pour into the neutral zone of the straits. The British, entrenched at Chanak, are hemmed in by the legions of Kemalists, who are being reinforced hourly. The Turks have overrun the entire neutral zone on the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles. Kemalists are under instructions to advance to the British outposts, but to avoid a clash. BOTH SIDES ORDERED TO AVOID HOSTILITIES Before the British lines, the Turks march back and forth with arms reversed or with small white flags aloft to assure ithe British that they have no desire to fight. The British soldiery has been warned by Sir Charles Har- rington to do their utmost to avoid open hostilities, pending a conference with Kemal. In some places in the zone, British and Turks mingle freely. British officers declare there is no longer a doubt that the Turks’ movements are directed by Kemal, who has his headquarters in the ruins of Smyrna. The maneuvers jare carefully planned. ‘ Kemal, in his last note to the allies, claimed the right to cross the neutral zone to pursue the Greeks in spite of the fact that the allies have served him with an ultimatum ordering him out of the area. In some quarters here it was reported that Kemal was on his way from Smyrna to Angora, the seat of the Turk- ish government. Franklin Bouillon, the French expert in ‘ (Turn to Page 9, Column 5) A |British Send Second Command for Kemal to Withdraw Troops From Neutral Zone; ATHENS, Sept. 29.—A party of armed Turks recruited in Con- |\stantinople attempted a surprise attack-in the neutral zone in the region of Stranza, near Chatalja, but were dispersed with some jcasualties, according to reports received here today. This refers to the neutral zone on the European side, northwest of Constan tinople, and it is presumed that the Turks clashed with the Greeks. U.S. CABINET TALKS Balkan _ Situation.
