treaty of peace is to be exactly like it, but merely that the Sultan is
willing to agree that the frontier shall be laid out as has been agreed
upon with the Powers, the Greeks to pay not less than a certain sum, and
Thessaly to be evacuated (the Turkish troops withdrawn from it) not
later than a certain date.

On this basis Turkey and Greece will meet, and draw up the final treaty,
which both sovereigns will sign, and which will bind them to carry out
all it provides.

The Boulé, the Greek parliament, will have met in a few days, and will
have to decide whether the terms offered by Turkey shall be accepted or
not.

It is reported that the Greek Government will resign. None of the
ministers wish to remain in power, and be held responsible for accepting
the treaty.

It is supposed that the Boulé will vote to accept the peace offer, and
that the excitement among the people will gradually die out. It would of
course be madness for King George to try and continue the war, because
he has neither soldiers, generals, nor the necessary money.

The Turkish people are as jubilant and happy as the Greeks are angry and
depressed.

It is openly said that the Sultan has been so successful about the peace
negotiations that there is very little doubt that he will be able to
arrange the matter of Crete in a manner that will be pleasing to all his
subjects.
