TURKS IN BAD WAY.
LAMENTABLE STATE OF KEMALIST ARMY. PEOPLE ANXIOUS FOR PEACE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn. (Received May 1, 8.55 a.m.) ATHENS. April 29. General Cladas (Greece) has returned here after being a prisoner of war in Turkov. He declares that the Kemaiist army is in a lamentable state. It is miserably equipped and poorly nourished. The Turks are anxious for peace. The War Party in the last Angora Assembly numbered only sixty. The dissolution was primarily due to Komal’s desire to paralyse the War Party’s efforts. “ Kemaf is confident,” states General Gladas, “ that the electors will vote for pease. The Soviet is assisting the Turkish army with foodstuffs, which are sent via the Caucasus.”
