War in Asia Minor Deepens as Britain and Greece Clash with Turks
The article reports a new Asia Minor war between British and Greek forces against Turkish troops near Constantinople. Greek troops, about 100000 strong, advance in two columns to trap Turkish forces, aided by a British fleet bombardment and Turkish defense led by Mustafa Kemal Pasha. Delays in Turkish treaty completion and hesitation by the United States to assume a mandate fuel the conflict. Propaganda and Lenine influence are noted as widening support for anti-British and anti-Greek sentiment.
