Greeks Defeated, Seek Armistice
LONDON, Sept. 5. - (The Associated Press) - General opinion in well informed quarters in London today was that the disaster to the Greek
army in Asia Minor was complete. There seemed little prospect that anything could now save it from a total debacle.
The Greek government has appealed to the powers to obtain an armistice with the Turkish nationalists, who have virtually driven the Greeks
from the battlefield, and as a result of interchanges among the chancellories at London, Paris, and Rome, instructions have been sent to the
allied high commissioners of the three powers in Constantinople to discuss joint measures for bringing about a suspension of hostilities.
GREEKS VICTORIOUS
ATHENS, Sept. 5 - (The Associated Press.)- A Greek communique reports that the Greek army in Asia Minor has repulsed and routed the Turkish
Nationalists east of Brusa.
Previous reports have said the Turks were nearing Brusa and that the fall of that place was imminent.
