The Greek Army in Asia Minor on Sunday renewed operations
against the Turkish insurgents. Mustapha Kemal, with help from the Bolsheviks, was known to be preparing' for an attack on the Greeks, but they forestalled him. In the district south- east of Broussa they advanced to the Baghdad railway ; the Turks apparently made little resistance. For the sake of the Greek population of Western Asia Minor, it is well that the Greek forces are on the alert, for a Turkish victory would assuredly be followed by a wholesale massacre of the Greeks. But it is strange that the ex-King's partisans, who won the elections by pretending that M. Venizelos alone prevented the Greek Army from being demobilized, should have had so soon to resume fighting in Asia Minor and call up new classes of conscripts to strengthen the forces on active service.
