TURKISH PEACE.
* BRITISH TROOPS OF OCCUPATION. SIR CHARLES HARINGTON'S MESSAGE. (Eeceived July 12th, 11.2.0 p.m.) CONSTANTINOPLE, July 11. Lieut.-General Sir Charles Harington, commanding the Black Sea Forces, in an Army order to his troops says:— "It must be realised that it is only human to expect that our departure will be heralded with a certain amount of satisfaction by the Turks. I look toward all ranks to conduct themselves during this period with dignity and restraint, and to do all in their pow. j r to avoid incidents, in order that the evacuation may be conducted in accordance with the high standard existing throughout the force. "I want to leave behind a memory of respect for the British forces which will live long in the history of Turkey and of the British Army. We all have had a difficult task, and the patience and restraint which have been exercised are beyond all praise. The closing weeks may be difficult ones, and for this reason, I ask my men to help me to complete our task with dignity."
