Reports From Athens Indicate
- The All flwaalr CnM,'AMT.
Thrace Have Joined the

Constantinople, Sept. 2ft (By the As

Mr Chas. Harrington, commander-in-
chief of the British forces In the Dnr.
diinelles, plans to leave this afternoon
for a conference with - Mnstnpha Ke
mnl Pasha, probably at Mundanla on
tne ea or Mnrmora. ,
The British are confident that if the

Greek Army In Tbraee Revolts.
Athens, Sept. 20 (By the Associated
Press). The Greek army in Thrace
hns definitely joined the revolution.
The nrmy corps in the Epirns also hns
thrown in Its lot with the revolution.
Situation Little Short of War.
London, Sent. 20 (Br the Associated
Press). Grave fears for a recurrence
of general warfare In Europe as a re-1
sun or tne jvenr East crisis are occu
pying the minds of British official cit
ies it is stnted in authoritative nunr-
ters.
The protracted and 'frequent. caW-
Lhet meetings which have, lieen going oo
xor tne past lew days all have lieen
for the purpose of Inking every possl
WV ep. ot tbe )i-eventiiiu of such a
eonnagrntion.
It is explained that these fears are
bused on relations known to exist be
tween the Angora government and so
viet Russia and the potentialities of
sncb relations.
The whole British policy. It is stnt
ed, is to keep the Turks from crossing
the Dardanelles into ensfern Thrace,
because It Is maintained that in this
event fighting would certainly start
and the whole ' of the ' Balkans lie
drawn Into the fighting. ' It. is declar
ed emphatically such n crossing will
not lie countenanced.
The Issue of war or lieace still
hung by a thread this morning and no means a free aseut, as It was said
there was no relief from the tension ' the revolution committee hud not yet
existing yesterday. Violation of the decided what should b3 done with
neutral zone by the Turks continued,
Turkish soldiers re approaching to
within a few feet of the British out?i
posts, and reconnoltering the .whole of
the" defensive positions.- General Har-
ringtons orders have not been chang

The cnbinet went into session again
this morning and probably will con
tinue in conference throughout the day
with only , necessary intermissions.
Tbe situation is as bad as It can be.

editorial writers of the morning news
papers. The main danger Is still re
garded ns centering , in the Chanak
zone on the southern shore ef tbe Dar

ist troops continue to move freely In
defiance of the, British degree.
1 There were ramors overnight that
the allies would possibly evacuate
Constantinople thus allowing the Ke
maHsts through to Thrace, where they
could co-operate . with the . British
forces in Chanak In keeping the straits
open. Fear is also expressed lest the
