VIENNA, Nov. 6.-Once among the
mightiest Of the worlds potentates, the
sultan could claim actual jurisdiction
tonight over the European dominion of
barely 1000 square miles, or a trifle
less than the state of Rhode Island
boasts. A Bulgarian army was ham

more than hours or few days at most,
before the enemy would be in control
of the Turkish capital itself. That the
Ottoman government had asked the
Balkan allies for an armistice was ru-
mored. The report lacked confirmation
here but it was considered more than
likely, and if an armistice had been
asked it was agreed that its only pur-
