FRANCO-BRITISH ADJUSTMENTS.
EVACUATION OF SMYRNA.
THRACJAN FRONTIER PROBLEM,
(Received 10.15 a.m.)
CONSTANTINOPLE. Jan. 24
The Franco-British pourparlers in reference to the Near East have so far progressed that Lord Curzon has submitted a note stating the British conditions. It is understood that the evacuation of Smyrna is admitted, with adequate guarantees for the Christian minorities, including the appointment of a Christion Governor-General and modification of the Thracian frontier, which it is suggested shall follow a line slightly south of Ismid on the Black Sea, via Chorlu and ending at Rodosto. Franco-Turkish circles, however, con sider that the frontier definition is strategically unsound. —Reuter.
