Calcutta, Sept. 20.
A large meeting of Mahommedans at the Town Hall mused- a resolution, conveying congratulations to Kemal Pasha, It pro- tested against Britain's alleged pro-Greek posies. Mr. Farulhug, MLA, hots warned Britain that if she participated in the dis- intagration of Turkey she would assume the position of Islam's enemy. Another Législator

Kemal Pasha's Proclamation.
New York, Sept. 20.
A message from Constantinople states That Kimal Pasha has made a proclamation to the Turkish nation, declaring that the tremendous victory is exclusively their work. The losses of the enemy exved 100,000 while the Kemalist lesses were only 10,000, af which three quarters were wounded.
Addressing the foreign representatives at Angora, Premier Rauf Eer ridiculed the suggestion that Turkey was carrying on a war cinquest, but it was their duty to persevere till they had completely realised all their national aspirations..
Mr. Hughes on Australia's Attitude,
Melbourne, Sept. 20.
Mr. Hughes emphasised that Australia was not a nation ef swashbucklers but. if the question arose of defending the vital interests of the Empire, it would not be a matter of sending a con- lingen! but employing the whole of Australia's resources. Aus- tralia would not participate in a filibustering expedition. She was entirely disinterested in the class ambitions between Turkey and Greece.
Canada Awaiting Information.
Ottawa, Sept. 19.
Following a further meeting of the Cabinet, the Prime Minister announced that the Government had not yet received such informa- tion from Britain as to permit a decision as to whether it was necessary to call a special session of parliament. He added that the information received was reassuring.
