CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 11.— A new outpost of the stellar system As a resu!t, man’s way has been extended by 50,000 to 100,000 parsecs, or light years. That is, the known stellar system probably has a great diameter of between two one hundred quadril- lions of miles, and two quintillions, four hundred quadrillions of miles. This represents a newly estimated great diameter for the Gallactic sys- tem of 350,900 to 400,000 parsecs. It was only a few years ago that scien- tists placed .the furthermost limits of the milky way at 30,000 parsecs. In the official bulletin tssued at the Harvard Observatory yesterday regarding this far-flung bunch of stars, a elight qualification was made saying that further observation was being made to juatify the present be- lief. Observatory officials, however, 4 that for practical purposes it coulé be assured that the cluster had been established as typical and, this being true, a new boundary for the starry spaces had been found.

By the Associated Press. MUDANIA, Oct. 11—The armi- : stice convention signed by the repre- sentatives of the Turkish Nation- alists and the allied Dowers here late last night -ontains the exact terms as submitted by Lieutenant- General Harington, the British del- egate and the specifications of which were made public yesterday by the Associated press. Ismet Pasha, the Turkish repre- sentative, held out for a larger num- ber of gendarmerie in Eastern Thrace and argued lengthily on sev- eral other points, but eventually gave way on every point of the al- Hed demands. Gen. Harington and Gen. Charpy, the latter the French delegate, de- parted for Constantinople this morn- ing after a few hours sleep aboard their warshipe. The final agreement was reached at 11 o’clock last night, after two sessions. Then followed a rece¢s while the secretaries made formal copies which the delegates verified. It was about daybreak before the signatures were affixed. The agreement is under date of midnight tonight, and goes into ef- fect three days after signature, mid- night Oct. 14-15.- ) . Greeks Refuse to Sign. | i The Greeks refused to sign the convention because théy were out of touch with their home governmeat, and the terms were not fully ap- prgved by Athens authorities. The Turks will look to the allies to ‘see that the Greeks fulfill the condi- tions. The agreement provides that the Turks will be permitted a gendare- mie of 8000 in Thrace and Ismid. The Thracian boundary as - fied by the agreement was fr the mouth of the Maritza, along its course to the Bulgarian boundary. The clause to which the Greeks ob- ject on this subject Is presumably one referring to a small but import- ant slice of land along the railroad ‘near Adrianople. Neutral Zone Outlined. Definite delimination of the nev- tral zones was decided upon. The demarkation follows a line 15 kilo- meters from the coast along straits of the Dardanelles and 40 Kilometers from the coast of Bosphorus. It is provided that neither the allied jnor nationalist troops may advance across these lines. The allies’ representatives agreed not to increase the number of troops or to undertake the con- struction of fortifications. The portion of the raliroad along the right bank of the Maritza River from Svilergrad to Lule-Burgas will be subject to supervision to be de- termined by a mixed commission of Ismet Pasha that the embodied Great Britain's last word and that the other Powers gave their unqualified support to the terme. .
