London. Sept. 28 "(By the As
sociated Press).?The British cab
inet held three successive meetings
today and another meeting will he
riheid tomorrow morning. This
? fact alone is sufficient comment
v%pon the gravity of the situation in
the Near East, revealed by yester
day's bad news, which has been
ampjy confirmed and accentuated
by today's dispatches.
g||. The Greek revolution, which was
a military and naval coup, seems
to have been carried out with sur
> prising swiftness and complete
ness. Information regarding Con
sta ntine is meager, but one report
had it that he was a prisoner of the
revolutionist?.
The crown prince succeeds to
c; the throne, while the victorious
.troops with their leaders at their
head marched triumphantly into
Athens, which pending the forma
tion of a new government is in
the hands of a military dictator
t ship in the shape of a triumvirate
council of prenerals. ; One of the
generals is 'said to be the famous
General Xider, who for a long time
was chief of sraff. and war minis
ter under the Yenizelos administra
tion and commanded the Greek
expeditionary corps operating in
couth Russia in 1918. * -
Apparently the revolution was
bloodless, although an unconfirm
ed report mention's the killing of
nne minister. It is assumed here
owe of the main objects of the rev
olution is to maintain Greek ruie
Jn eastern Thrace.
leitest advices are to the effect
that there has been no collision
between the Turkish and British
forces in the Chanak zone-and that
:-eems to be the only satisfying as
pect of a very threatening situa
tion. Friendly messages have
been exchanged between General
Harlngton. the'British commander
at. Constantinople, and Kemal
Pa?sha. -discussing the respective
viewpoints in* an amicable man
ner, but the JCemalists show no.^the
slightest disposition to recede from
their position and , refuse to wjthr;
draw their troops from the Ghanak
S lector. ?
On the-other hand, according to
government .dispatches and corre
r.pondents on. the spot, an addition
al Turkish force entered. the neu
tral zone today and, there is a cbn
jvtant increase in the Turkish troops
in both the Ghanak and Ismid sec
tors. Xot only do the Kema lists
refuse to retire from the neutral
zone. Ignoring all British warnings,
but they are reported to have de
clared they will not permit ' the
British to build fortifications at
certain points within the zone.
In Constantinople ix is believed
the situation has been relieved by
the Kema list agreement to recog
nize the neutrality of the straits,
pending the armistice conference.
Another point on the peace side is
that General. Harington still pro
fe.-sses confidence in .Rental's mod
eration. He sent a wireless mes
>r<ge to the Nationalist leader at
t myrna this evening asking him
for an immediate personal meet
ing and leaving the choice of
place to Kemal.
A. report has reached here,
though not officially', that the sul
tan of Turkey. Mohammed VI. has
chdicated in favor of the heir apr
parent. Prince Abdul Medjid.
The British government is de
laying its reply to the Russian
note, pending further developments.
With regard to Kemal Pasha's
protest against British demoli
tions on the south side of the straits
and the sea of Marmora, the Brit
ish government states these were
executed in 1920 and that any
thing done since then was quite
unimportant.
Regarding the Turkish com
plaints that the sea of Marmora
is closed to Turkish troops, the
British contention i* that it hum
thoroughly maintained absolute
neutrality as between the Greeks
and the Turks and that the whole
of the sea of Marmora is free to
both the Turks and Greeks equal
ly.
So authoritative information is
forthcoming on th? cabinet's views
on the new situation created by the
Greek revolution. The govern
ment's present attitude is that of
waiting for further developments
and the lesult of the armistice con
ference.
A Smyrna dispatch through Par
Is tonight says that Kemal Pasha
is disposed to accept the invitation
to a peace conference, with cer
;an reservatons. but that the An
gora amenably has voted a large:
war credit.
All it is possible to say with con
fidence is that while peace has no;
l.een broken, some unforeseen in
cident may at any moment pro
voke hostilities!

a revolt was under way. Their next
move was to seize the port offi

} Then they commandeered all the

j Greek trans-Atlantic liners Megali.
I Hellas anfd Patris. Before embark -

i the soldiers paraded the street
with Venizelist banners and ef

Shouting "Down with Constan

and sang the Venizelist hymn.
While these demonstrations were
, in progress 60.000 fugitives from

S Situation on the Dar-j

j ed the Most Critical j
Stage
Constantinople. Sept. 2f> (By the
Associated Press*?The situation,
between the British and the Turk- j
isb nationalists was extremely tense j
tonight.
A note from Mustapha Kemal j
Pasha to Brigadier General Har- j
! ington, the British commander, j
! couched in a hqstile tenor, was j
i considered by British military*!
[circles here as closing the door to j
ja pacific settlement of the straits j
' question. The prospects of an ?
armed conflict were considered ;
more evident than previously,
j The note of Kemal demands the 1
! retirement of all the British troops I
fxom the Asiatic side of the straits, j
j as the French and Italians -have j
I done and sayts in. case of acquies-;
'cence he will withdraw the na-.
? tionalist forces "slightly" from;
j the neutral zone..
It also demands the cessation of
1 whatv are termed the arbitrary;
j measures of the British authori- j
jties in Constantinople in dealing !
with the Turkish population and >
I contains a solemn warning that no :
j Greek vessel shall be permitted to i
(pass the Dardanelles. It concludes!
j with a protest against the destruo-;
j tion of Turkish war material in
j the straits.
! The note of Kemal was in reply i
j to the. last written communication j
of General Harington,% transmitted ;
j through Hamid Bey, the Nation-!
j alist representative in Constan- I
tinopie to Kemal in Smyrna.
It is felt in British circles to
night that they would be forced
to modify their conciliatory at
. titude at the moment the Turks ?
? bring up heavy artillery with which j
they would be able to threaten se- i
riously the European side of the!
?[ Dardanelles and also hamper pas-.;
sage of British vessels through the
strait?. ' v
Six submarines of the British ;

j the Haid?r Pass ; railway, facing |
1 Prfhkipo island. These positions-;

! phorus, '"a short distance from1
j Constantinople.
i Some optimism was felt today ;
[over the meeting between M. j
j Franklin-Bouillon, the French en- j
\ voy, and Mustapha Kemal Pasha at!
j Smyrna, where there was a con- I
j ference on the general situation, j
j Later, while oatthe way to Eski-i
j shehr, Kemal received a message ?
{calling him to .Angora to discuss!
with the government the National- j
ist reply to the allied demands.
Therefore General Ha rington has |
postponed his departure for Mu-1
dania to meet Kemal.
Meanwhile the Turkish leader;
! has given assurance that his troops I
j will not advance further than the
neutral zone.
The belief. prevails in British
military circles that Greece may be
asked to evacuate Thrace by Oc- ;
tober 10. This would permit the
Journalists to enter Thrace by ports
on the. sea of Marmora, avoid a
violation of -the "straits and satisfy
j the Kemalist demand for posses
j sion of Thrace before the proposed
j peace conference begins.
It is held that the Greek revolu
tion has radically altered the
Thracean situation and that there
is no certainty that the new Ath- "
ens government will be able to
maintain an efficient army there,
even pending the settlement of
peace. It is suggested that if
j Greece refuses to evacuate Thrace
j an allied fleet may blockade the
1 Greek mainland.

Large Number of Pottery
Maker? Prosecuted in New
York Court
New.. York. Sept. 2f?-?An indiet
ment against approximately 8"? per
cent, of the corporations, firms and
individuals engaged jn producing,
sanitary pottery in this country was
made public today by William Hay-)
ward. United States attorney for
the Southern district of New York.
The indictment names 23 compa-'
nies and 24 individuals.
The indictment is regarded as i
virtually the last of the series of i
steps taken against various indus
tries affecting housing, problems j
carried on by the Lock wood corn- j
mittee.
Today's indictment was . re- i
turned by the July federal grand j
jury under an extension of the;
term of the court which brought j
the deliberations of the body into}
August. The indictment was held
under seal until today, pending an
investigation into a collateral in- j
dustry.
The firms and individuals named ,
are 'engaged principally in the
manufacture of porcelain and;
earthenware. Several of the in
dicted firms also manufacture both
lath tubs and similar accessories.j
The indictment is in two counts.;
The first accuses the defendants
of ltaving been engaged in a price!
fixing combination. The second;
charges that the defendants have;
unlawfully restricted and confined i
sales of their nrerchandise to a]
specially selected group of so
called legitimate jobbers.
As to the second count, the re
port said the defendants had a
rule whereby members Of the
group we.-e barred from selling
their merchandise directly to the
builder, the architect of the eon
tractor. The manufacturer, ac
cording to the report, routined his
sales to the socailed "legitimate
jobber." who. in turn; would con
fine his sales to "legitimate
plumbers:" The jobber and the
plumber in each <nse. it wms said,
would dictate his own prices with
out fear of competition.

section will make about one-half
as much cotton as was produced
last year. If the output is more
than that Mr. Hambright-will be
surprised, and if it is less he will
not be surprised. In discussing the
crop outlook with the correspond

While he takes into considera

voted to cotton by these six farm

this year as compared with last j
at the same tune the- big decrease!
is due largely to the activities' of I
the boll weevil and to the drouth.

FRENCH ENVOY

WMKEMAL
! Result of This Inter
view Will Determine
Peace ?r War Be
tween Allies and the
Turks
London, Sept. 29 (By the Asso
ciated Press).?The events of the
next few days probably will be
largely influenced by the outcome
of the meeting which M. Frank
lin-Bouillon, the French envoy sent
by the Paris .government to Asiatic
Turkey, has just had with Musta
pha Kemal Pasha, the Turkish
Nationalist leader.
The policy the British authorities
have pursued in the face of the
continued occupation by the Kem
alist of the region in the vicinity
of Chanak ;is 'believed in London
to have been due- to the absence
of definite' information as to how
far Great Britain could depend
upon French and Italian support in
the event of hostilities with the
Turks. An agreement with the
?Angora government, conclude some
time, ago by M -Franklin-Bouillon,
included a-'ftewse under which
France undertook not to engage
in military operations against the
Turks in Asiatic Elinor.
Reports from Constantinople to
the effect that Mustapha Kemal Is
in favor of peace: but, on the oth
er hand, the Associated Press cor
respondent asserts that the French
and Italians in Constantinople ex
press the opinion that the British
ought to withdraw from Chanak
and confine themselves to the Eu
ropean side of the Gallipoli penin
sula. , . j ...
It is expected that the meeting
between Franklin-Bouillon and
Kemal Pasha, will make the actual
situation clearer,. The situation as
revealed here today following an
important cabinet meeting ap
peared to bei that the British gov
ernment had arrived nearly at the
end of its patience.
What is said tcf have been virtual
ly ah. .uJUinaiuott^demariding that
the Ttfrklsh troops cnjit the Chanak
zone has been 'sent to Mustapha
Kemal Pasha, and uft*?r the "cabi
net me#ting^v it.. was -said! . tjiat
Brigadier , General Harington. had
been informed he would have, the
f?ll sujiport. of the. government ..Ln
taking, whatever steps he. thpught
advisable to bring the Turkish o.Cf
cupatipn toan>end and. thus, ter
minate, the. grave situation, which
was considered nothing less, than
Turkish defiance to the. British em
pire and in direct contravention to
tfte allied note. The British govern
ment's view regarding this note is
that if one part of it is broken the
whole of it becomes ineffective.
It was added that the British
would no longer be satisfied with
Kernel's promise that the troops
would advance no farther, but will
require the actual withdrawal of
the Nationalist forces
According to the official view
here, at the coming meeting be
tween General Harington and
Kemal nothing will be discussed
but actual military matters and
that it is intended to clear up any
misunderstanding arising from the
Kema list charges of aggression. It
will be contended that the British
operations are necessary and justi-'
fiable but hot hostile.
There have been reports today
that the Turks might be allowed
to cross into Thrace in return for
the evacuation by the Kemalists of
the whole of the neutral zone.
These reports met with little cre
dence in London, but, according
to the Associated Press correspond
ent in Constantinople, there is talk
of the Greeks being asked to evac
uate eastern Thrace by October 10,
thus permitting the Turks to en
ter the region by way of ports on
the Sea of Marmora. The view in
official circles here tonight was
that as the Sea of Marmora has
been declared neutral, the Greek
fleet can operate there and effec
tively prevent the Turks from cross
ing.
Malta dispatches received in
j London report that the British fleet
in the Dardanelles and the British
army at Chanak are being con
stantly reinforced, while Mudros is
being converted into a subsidiary
base for the fleet operating in
Turkish waters.
