TURKS' KEEN INTEREST IN GREEK REVOLUTION.

REMAPS .DILATORY TACTICS CAUSE UNEASINESS. LOSS OF TEMPORARY ADVANTAGE IN ANATOLIA FIEARED. A. and N.Z. (Received 8-25 p.m.) I/ONDON, Oct. 1. Mr. Martin Donohoe, the Constantinople correspondent of the Daily Chronicle, says that Kemalist circles are following with deep interest the overthrow of ex-King Constantine. Nationalist newa papers are unable to conceal their uneasiness and fear that the dilatory tactics of Kemal may end in his losing the temporary advantage which resulted from his victories in Anatolia. The Kemalists consider that the return of M. Venizelos forebodes no good to their cause. For one thing the Powers make a paper offer of Thrace, but will they expel the Greeks'? Mr. Donohoe says he learns that Kemal will assuredly demand that the Allies enforce Greek evacuation of Thrace, and occupation by Nationalist troops as a preliminary condition to the peace conference. Irregular bands of Turks are now operating in Thrace on the piea of protecting oppressed Moslems, so the public may expect to hear the usual outrages and counter-outrages.
