General Sharpie, for France, and General Membelll, for Italy.ALLIED POLICY WILL BE DECIDED UPON AT A MEETING OF THE ALLIED OFFICIALS AT CONSTANTINOPLE TODAY Prem De»p«tch) CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct.2.\u2014 The Allied policy at the Mudania conference, it was learned this forenoon, will be decided upon at a meeting in Constantinople this afternoon of the Allied generals, admirals, high commissioners and military attaches in extraordinary council.The conference will discuss the occupation of Eastern Thrace by detachments of inter-Allied troops during the Greek army\u2019s withdrawal.The expectation here is that the Greek evacuation will begin immediately after the conference, permitting the establishment of Turkish administrative control.General Harington, the British commander-in-ehicf, will leave for Mudania on the dreadnought Iron Duke early Tuesday morning.The Italian and French generals who are to attend also will make the trip on battleships of their respective navies.A FEELING OF RELIEF EVIDENT IN BRITISH OFFICIAL CIRCLES AS CONSEQUENCE OF FAVORABLE DEVELOPMENTS (Auociated Prêt» Despatch) LONDON, Oct.2.\u2014A feeling of relief ft\u2019as evident in all British official circles as a result of the favorable week-end developments in the Near East crisis, and the authorities are hopeful that the conference between the Kemalists and the Allies will have good results.A similar feeling of relief is noticed in official despatches from Con-stantnople, owing to the less menacing attitude of the Turks about the neutral zone.In addition, substantial British reinforcements have arrived in the Straits of Dardanelles and the British army position is much stronger in consequence.No results ate expected from the Mudania Conference before the middle of the week.Meanwhile, the government is marking time.Premier Lloyd George is still in the country SJid no cabinet meeting was schedul- ed for today .The government authorities reiterate that complete evacuation of the neutral zone by the Kemalists would be required before the parleys can begin.It is generally understood that Mustapha Kemal Pasha himself will not attend the meeting, but will be represented by IsmiJ Pasha.SOVIET GOVERNMENT SENDS A PROTEST TO THE ALLIES ### ### * » #\tUNCLE OF PRESIDENT OF « #\tDAIL WAS MURDERED.# #\t_ - * #\t(Associated Press Despatch.) & é- DUBLIN, Oct.2.\u2014Patrick i# #\tCosgrove, uncle of William » #\tCosgrove, president of the # #\tDail was shot and killed Sat- # #\turday in a hotel here by four ^ #\tarmed men who raided the # #\tplace.\t* » * #\t* * *** * « THREE STORES WERE BURNED AT ASBESTOS Seventeen Thousand Dollar Fire Broke Out This Horning.(Special to The Record.) ASBESTOS, Oct.2.\u2014A serious fire broke out at half past four o\u2019clock this morning in the new part of the store occupied by 0.Bergeron, of Asbestos, and spreading rapidly, the flames soon reducing the entire building to a smouldering mass of ruins.The neighboring stores.occupied by H.Vegiard and by U.J.Bruneau and Mrs.Lenard, also caught fire, both buildings being burned to the sround.When the flames were first noticed in Be.rgeron*s store they had already gained considerable headway.A call for assistance was sent out, and aid was immediately rushed to the scene from Danville and from the nearby mines.However, the combined efforts of the firefighters, aided by all the townspeople, proved of no avail, and the three buildings were totally destroyed.Mr.Bergeron, who is a dealer in furniture and farm implements, states that the loss to his building amounts to about ten thousand dollars.Mr.Vegiard, who runs an ice cream parlor and barber shop, states that his loss will be about three thousand five hundred dollars, while the Toss to the third building, occupied by U.J.Bruneau and Mrs.Lessard, milliners, is also estimated at three thousand five hundred dollars.All three buildings were fully insured.The origin of the fire is at present unknown.PREMIER LENINE WILL RESUME DUTIES TODAY WHERE MAJOR MacLAURIN WAS KILLED ï\u2019î\tw.,.\u2022¦-¦'fr'i-irVakfl - - - - \u2014 ¦ PROTESTANT COMMITTEE, COUNCIL OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, WAS IN SESSION AT ANCIENT CAPITAL Report on Distribution of School Grants Adopted\u2014Grants About Doubled This Year\u2014Change Forecasted in French Examinations\u2014Need of Hostels for Outof Town Pupils\u2014Teachers\u2019 Convention Holidays\u2014School for Teachers\u2014Other Matters.- *-\u2014¦\t\u2014 (Special to The Record) QUEBEC, Oct.2.\u2014The Protest-and Committee of the Council of Public Instruction held a meetng in the Legislative Council Public Bills Committee chamber Friday, presided over by the president, Rev.E.J.Rexford, and the members of the committee present were the Lord Bishop of Quebec.Rev.Dr.A.T.Love, Dr.W.Rowat, Hon.Walter Mitchell, Hon.George Bryson, M.L.C., Messrs.Kirk Cameron, A snapshot of the wrecked airplane which took a nose dive in English Bay, Vancouver, recently, the accident in v- E- Morrilli Allan Walsh, Geo.\u2019 which Major C.MacLaurin, noted Canadian airman, of Mr.'W^S^BuIIoc^M.lIa6,1 andl)^ Ottawa, lost his life.France To Support Turkish Proposal For Evacuation Ot Neutral Zones In Return For Retirement From Thrace By Greeks E.T.BOARDS OF TRADE MEET AT The fall meeting of the E.i.as- i -.\u2022\t- r\t__, , _ .sociated Boards of Trade will be held i that written examin\t.r\t' at Bury tomorrow, with two sessions, be regarded as a hair e .one at 10 a.m.and the other at 1 p.!

of the neutral zones in return for the immediate evacuation of the Eastern Thrace by the Greeks.The fear is expressed, however, that Great Britain j will not consent to such a plan, especially at a conference at which I there is no provision for Greek rep-.resentation.I Further danger to the success of the conference is seen in the firm decision of the British not to retire from Chanak, and should the Turks make this retirement one of their conditions, it is foreseen that an agreement might be impossible.Approval of the Turkish proposal, it is pointed out, would be a substantial concession to the Kemalists, as the Allied powers in their note made the neutrality of the zones of the straits one of their chief conditions and only promised to \u201cuse their influence\u201d to effect Greek withdrawal from Eastern Thrace.The French view is that the present situation will force a more liberal interpretation of the Allied terms in the interest of peace, but there is no indication that Great Britain will take a similar view.In well informed, though not of-i ficial quarters, the most that is said for the decision to meet at Mudania, is that it brought about a forty-eight hour breathing space at a moment when hostilities between the British and the Turks seemed inevitable, and that it now remains for the Mudania conference to promote the further removal of the conditions which were leading to a clash.In official circles,_ however, the expressions were mudh more optimistic, while the belief was indicated that the danger of war had virtually disappeared.UOVD GEORGE IS TRYING TO AVERT A WAR Wife of Premier Expresses Hope that Government Will Be Able to Prevent an Outbreak.George W.Parmalee .secretary.After routine the secretary read letters of apology from General Sir Arthur Currie, Mr.Marier, Dr.Shurtleff, Dr.Nicholson and Hon.Mr.Nicol for their unavoidable absence from the meeting.The secretary announced the appointment by Order-in-Council on September 22nd of Hon.Jacob Nicol, B.A., K.C., M.L.A., to succeed the Rev.Canon H.H.Bedford-Jones, resigned.Reports were read and adopted of sub-committees on the distribution of Superior school grants, course of study and school for teachers.Dr.Parmalee, Secretary of the Committee, presented and read his reports on.the summer school for specialists in French, and the summer school for specialists in drawing and art work in schools held at the Macdonald College, with the financial co-operation of the Department.Dean Laird\u2019s motion that the usual grant of $500 for the kindergarten assistants\u2019 course in Montreal be repeated was favorably considered.The secretary asked that steps he taken by the committee to readjust the marks given for the various ex-: aminations in French, in order that * « * # ###*#* EX-PREMIER VENIZELOS HAS ACCEPTED POST.(Associated Press Despatch.)
