According fo the very meagre details of the campaign, the Greek offensive against the Turks in Asia Minor seems to have developed over very much the same country as in their previous effort. On che last occasion they marched from Brussa against Eskishehr, achieved an initial success, but were speedily hurled back. At the same time as that movement was afoot, they were advancing astride the railway from Smyrna, apparently hoping to bring off a converging movement, but the whole scheme failed of its objective. To-day they are once more converging on Eskishehr, two separate forces from the north and a third from the south, and the capture of Kiutayah gives them control of the railway running from the Taurus. Tt was along this railway that the Turks de-fonding Eskishehr originally hoped to get reinforcements. but as matters now stand their path is barred. The railway to Angora still mains in the hands of the Turkish forces, and presumably the defenders of Eskishehr hope to receive an -aceession of force along that line. When last the Greeks were before Eshishehr they apparently tried to take it by direct assault, but looking at their movements during these nast few days it seems more than likely that they now mean to surround it preliminary to an assault. Its capture would be an important stsn in the advance on Angora, which has been stated as the immediate objective of the present campaign.
