The Peace Conference met again last Saturday, when the Turkish
delegates consented to allow the Greeks to be included in the negotiations, but asked in exchange for the revictual- ling of Adrianople. This led to a further delay, for the Allies refused to consider a point which they declared had been settled by the armistice, and the Turks consequently asked for time to refer the matter to their Government. On Monday the fifth meeting took place, and the Turks agreed to meet the Greeks unconditionally. The Allies then presented their territorial proposals. These are stated to consist briefly of the surrender by Turkey of all territory west of a line extending from Rodosto to Cape Malatra, and of all the 2Egean Islands, including Crete, but excepting a few near the Dardanelles. The peninsula of Gallipoli is left to Turkey. The Turkish delegates reserved their reply while they submitted these terms to their Government, and the next sitting of the Con- ference was fixed for to-day. It is considered certain that Turkey will reject the terms and propose an alternative plan of her own, which will in turn have to be submitted to the Governments of the Allies. The latter are stated to be uneasy at the delay in the negotiations, and indeed the general opinion as to their outcome is distinctly pessimistic, especially in view of the bellicose feeling which is reported from Constantinople.
