PANIC SWEEPS TURK CAPITAL CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7. —Consternation reigned in for- elgn quarters of Constantinople today as Turkish nationalist mil- itary forces advanced close to the barbed wire barricades of British forces at Chanak, The Kemalists served notice that the British would not be al- lowed to advance beyond the three-mile neutrai limit.
