"The Government apparently thinks that a re? newal of the war will haslen instead of retarding the armistice. This calculation may prove to he correct, but it is m?>re likely that Turkey will seize upon it as an excuse for delay in?,' the ar? mistice, and ?ill deal a crushing blow in Thes saly." The correspondent of "The Times" at Conata?? tlnople says: "The ?sultan is sorely perplexed and embarrassed by Ihe Islamic influences, mili? tary and theoi,,?-!. a!, which ?ire unlied In vehe? ment protests against leni.-ney to Groe,-e as de frnudlng Turkey of the legit?mate fruit? of vic? tory."

It Is believed that NIccpoHs !s not yet captured, but only the heierhts commanding the town. This Is the seventh time the Greeks have attempted I to advance to Janlna. ?r^'l have met with a re? pulse which the Turks s^ve never followed up.
