ANGORA AGREES.
KEMAL’S ACTION APPROVED DELEGATES GO TO MUDANIA. POINTS FOR CONFERENCE. DIVISION OF THRACE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Oct. 3, 8.10 pan. London, Oct. 2. The Angora Assembly has unanimously approved of Kemal’s action and has authorised the despatch of delegates to Mudania and a peace conference.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
CONFERENCE AGENDA. BRITAIN REMAINS FIRM. London, October 2. The Mudania Conference will consider (1) Guarantees regarding neutralities; (2) The demarcation of Eastern Thrace, presumably on the Maritza Valley line; (3) Temporary’ administration. Thrace will probably be divided into sectors under British, French, and Italion officials. Official circles believe the decision to hold the conference at Mudania is a high tribute to the tact and patiepce of General Harington, Sir Horace Rum»bold (British Ambassador) and Admiral .Brock. Nevertheless they point out that many difficulties are still to be encountered. The British policy adheres unswervingly to the Paris Note, which entails not only the withdrawal of the Turks from the neutral zones, but the withdrawal of the Greeks to the Maritza line in Eastern Thrace. The latter is regarded as equally difficult to bring about as the former, in view of the revolutionaries' rallying point being the defence of Thrace. ACTION BY AMERICA. MEASURES TO PROTECT INTERESTS. ARMED FORCES NOT TO BE USED. Received Oct. 3, 7.30 p.m. Washington, Oct. 2. It is understood that representatives on behalf of the United States have forwarded to the Turks, Greeks and other Powers interested’ an appeal for humanitarianism. The communication suggests the immediate cessation of hostilities and the taking of steps leading to the protection of all minorities and permanent peace. It is believed M. Bouillon (Allied Commissioner to Kemal) delivered the communication to the Turks. Mr. C. E. Hughes (Secretary of State), replying to an appeal by Bishop Cannon, of Virginia, who is now in Paris, after a personal investigation of the Near East, that the United States should use her armed forces to help the Allied nations to settle the Near East situation, said: “We have done all possible to relieve refugees. We have also exerted our influence against cruelty and oppression, and we are keenly alive to every humanitarian interest. The United States has not failed in any way to make the sentiment of the American people understood and to take every appropriate action, while we have taken measures to protect American interests. The Government is not authorised to go beyond this. There has been no action by Congress justifying an attempt to use armed forces to pacify the Near East, or to accomplish the results desired concerning the inhabitants of Asia Minor.” —Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
TURKEY AND THE SOVIET. ESTABLISHING RELATIONS. Received Oct. 3, 8.10 p.m. Berlin, October 2.

Ward Price reports that Turkish infantry have now appeared in the neutral zone at Burgaskoi and Kusukoi, but Karaubigha has been evacuated.—United Service.
