By the Associated Press.
Constantinople, Oct. fi. After con
ferring for' most of the night with
hij'Ji commissioners and military ex
perts here, allied genovals prepared
to leave again for Mudania 1'or re
sumption of the armistice conference.
What agreement was reached was not
announced. The situation was very
grave.
The warships hearing" the allied
delegates were scheduled to leave at
noon, arriving at Mudania about 2:J()
o'clock.
CONFERENCE DEADLOCKED
By (he Associated Press.
IiOiidon, Oct. . The Mudania con
ference is not ended, it was officially
ftated at the conclusion of the Brit
ish cabinet meeting this morning, but
it is deadlocked and cannot be resum
ed before the British and French gov
ernments have conferred together.
Lord Curzon will leave immediately
for Paris to confer with Premier Poin
enre. The British cabinet debated the
question in its entirety but the main
point of division nppeared to be
Thrace. The British, contended that
some consideration should be given the
Creek minority population there and
what might happen there if the Turks
were permitted to enter.
There seems to be no question
about the Chanak neutral zone set
tlement. On broad linos the British policy, it
was staled, is the same as it had been
before the Greek debacle, which is
that the Turks "should not cross the
straits before the peace conference.
Several days must elapse before the
divergences between the British and
Turks can resume their conferences
The French and Italians, it is de
clared, have not the same positive
views in regard to Thrace as have the
British and until these views are
brought closer together, the British
cannot reply to the Turks.
FRANCE TO. PROTEST

Paris, Oct. 0. The French govcrn
,mcnt has instructed its minister at
Athens to protest to the Greek gov
ernment for having sent reinforce
ments for its beaten army.
