The board of trustee* of the Nava-

At the Istanbul ceremony where the
soldiers are 'buried there was a mili-
tary ceremony.
Discussing the anniversary, the
newspaper Cum Huriyet said: ‘‘We
cleared this black page with other
feata of victory (in the war against
the Greeks after the world war), so
much so thnt our enemies of yesterday
extended their hand to ud in a gesture
of equality.’’
The newspaper Tasvirl said : "Yugo-
slavia is bargaining with Germany. If
she can get out of It by signing a dec-
laration of friendship she will come
off well because she la surrounded.”
