REQUEST FOR MEDIATION
UNANSWERED BY POWERS
Nazim Pacha Confident of Be,
ing Able to Hold the
Tchataldia Lines.

Constantinople. Nov. 4, Q p. m.'-None
OF the powers has yet replied to the
Porte's request for mediation. The be-
lief is held here that King Ferdinand
will not be sorry to accept European
Intervention, as II is considered that
after its tremendous sacrifices the Bull
garian army must be near exhaustion
Abdullah Pacha, commander Of the
Turkish eastern army, is still at Tcher-
kesskeui, and at noon to-day Turkish
detachment destroyed an important
railway bridge at Tchorlu.
II now becomes clear that the COM
plete breakdown Of the commissioned
service was largely responsible for the
Turkish reverses. The Turkish plans
aimed at encircling the Bulgarian
forces by an advance on the right wing.
The Bulgarian general concentrated his
efforts on an attack against the Turk
,sh centre at Serial and the left wing
along the railway. The Turkish right
was meeting with much success but
the conmissariat service went to pieces
owing partly 10 bad weather, which
made the roads difficult and prevented
landing operations at the Turkish base
Midia.
Az a consequence, Mahmoud Mukh-
tar Pacha, commanding the right was
connelIed to sacrifice the advantage
gained because his troops were WITH
out food the whole day.
All preparations have been completed
for the heir apparent to proceed 10 the
Turkish headquarters, accompanied by
cbazi Ahmed Mukhtar Pacha, the late
Grand Vizier, but up TO the present
they have not started.
II "a asserted that the Sultan himself
ros deceiyed by Nazim Pacha's optl-
ro,stic reports, and only realized the
true situation when British cruiser
h,o,,obt the latest news, which was
conveved TO the Porte by the British
A,,hossador. The Porte then asked the
powers TO intervene.
The difficulty in maintaining oruer IL
increasing daily. II is said that mon
/ -
went 70 the WS Office at stamoouI
and asked for weapons with which 10
attack the Christians, and this was the
reason why Kiamil Pacha asked the
ambassadors to have warships at hand.
Nazim Pacha is still confident OF his
ability to hold the lines OF Tchataid)a'
! While the fate Of war has been unta-
vorable to the Turkish arms on the
Mains of Thrace. II is argued that the
Turkish soldiers cannot reproach them
selves that the result was due to any
failure on their part to uphold theii
military traditions Of valor and deter
mjnation. which are their proudest in
her,tance. The Turks. IT Is said were
defeated not because the Bulgarian II
better or a drawer fighter. but be-
cause he is more scientifically trained
and better armed. especially In the
matter Of artillery.

sacrifices entailed on the Bulgarian
troops by the blows struck at Kirk
Kilisseh and Lule Burgas have nat
urally evoked temporary need for re-
pose, but this will not bring the opera
tions to a standstill for any length Of
time.
On the contrary, the Bulgarian ad
vance on Tchataldja may be begun this
week.
The Turkish soldiers seem already
convinced of the inevitableness Of then
complete defeat A Turkish office,
among those captured begged to b'
permitted TO see King Ferdinand and
ask him not to allow the great mosque
Of the Sultan Soliman to be destroyed
when Adrianople-is taken.
The Anatolian prisoners throw the
blame for the reverses suffered by the
Ottoman army on to the Young Turks
because, they say, the latter deposec
Abdul Hamid and so offended against
the Koran.
Another correspondent Of the "Reichs'
post" telegraphing from Scutari or
Saturday night, said the Montenegro
troops were obliged TO retire from the
Tarabosh Mountain. as they could no.
hold the positions they had taken anc
occupied there. They left several guns
behind them when they retreated, hu
they had rendered them unserviceaole
The Montenegrins set fire to severa
Mahometan villages.
The Montenegrin troops made repeat
ed attacks on Scutari from the piair
without gaining much ground. Th'
Turks even had some small successes
returning from a sortie with eighty capt
ured rifles. The Turkish officers he
Iieve that Tarabosh will hold out To-
some time yet.

POINCARE REFUSES TO ACT
Enforcement of an Armistice
Would Unduly Favor Turkey.

Paris. Nov. 4.-The French attitude
in regard to the Turkish appeal for
mediation Is identical with that OF Eng
land and Russia. Turkeys proposals
were as follows:
First-That the powers offer and II
need be enforce an armistice on the bel"
llgerents. - A.
Second-That the powers proht by the
armistce TO invite the bellgerents TO
make known their peace terms. and 4
necessary harmonic the conflicting terms
Of the belligerents.
In refusing to act Premier Poincare
declared that France was unable TO
accept the suggestion about an armis-
tice without furnishing to the Balkan
allies guarantees relative To the condi-
t,ons ~ peace. An armistice, he said.
would check the advance OF the allies
al the height Of their victories and give
Inc Turks tine TO reorganize and
strengthen their armies.

TO ENTER ADRIANOPLE
Besiegers' Large Guns Needed
for Use on the Turkish
Lines at Tchataldja.

cording 10 Lieutenant Wagner, tele-
srauhing to the "Reichspost" to-day
from the Bulgarian headquarters. The
desire OF the Bulgarians is TO release
their siege guns for eventual use on the
Turkish lines at Tchataldja.
The powers Of resistance of the
Turkish works at Adrianople d.
minish visibly day by day. The
Turks reply weakly and at irreg-
ular intervals TO the heavy fire OF the
Bulgarian Siege artillery. The Turkish
works on the northwest front OF the
city have suffered heavily, and since
the last great sortie by the garrison IN
the direction Of Maras the activity OF
the Turkish troops appears to have d.
rojnished considerably. The lack OF pro-
visions In the invested city is reported
already 10 have become extremely
! serious.
The fail Of Adrianople would be re-
sarded in Vienna as an event OF the
! greatest military and political fmpor-
lance. both as evidence that even the
line OF forts at Tchataldja cannot save
Constantinople. and as enabling the
whole Bulgarian army to concentrate

SERVIANS ADVANCE SOUTH
Turkish Troops Abandon I'm
pregnable Positions.

IJskub. Nov. 4-The advance OF the
seryians toward Monastir and Salonica
is proceeding successfully. The defeat
of the Turks AT Kumanova was so
complete that the pursuing Servlans
found the Turkish troops had aoan-
doned the absolutely impregnable po-
sitions OF Katchanik Pass and Ovcha-
polya. which It was expected would be
the scene Of desperate resistance on
account Of the natural defences.
When tho servians reached the pass
they found the Turks had fed IN the
widest confusion, leaving twenty-one
OF their field guns and numerous rifles
and ammunition. At Kratova the
Turks left 1876 field guns behind them.
The railway between Uskub and
Mitrovitza has been repaired.

Berlin, Nov. 4.-The Turkish Amoas-

good offices TO bring about an arrnis-

HOW TO END WAR
Continued from first page.

garia is IN no mood to negotiate peace
at the present time.
Comparative order is still being
maintained in Constantinople. The
anxiety has been partly relieved, how
ever, by the arrival Of European war
ships. Others are on the way and are
erpected to pass through the Darda-
neIles tomorrow.
The prospect that considerable por-
ZION of the defeated Turkish army will
no able to reform behind the lines Of
Tchataldja, the last Notifications be-
fore Constantinople, is not altogether
excluded. but whether the Turks will
he able at that point to maintain any
serious resistance to the Bulgarian ad-
vance is a question which permits Of
doubt.
Great Loss in Artillery.
In the struggle with the allies the
Turks have lost more than half their
artillery. In fact, the Servians alone
claim to have captured no fewer than
400 guns. This will Certainly initiate
ogsjnst any prolonged stand at Tcha-
tsldja.
Although fighting is still proceeding
IN the Tchorlu-Serai line and CORE
spondents are sending reports of Bull
earian and Turkish successes in that
neishborhood, according to which side
,bev draw inspiration from. the official
announcement from Constantinopie
that the Turks are withdrawing to the
Tchataldia line of forts Is not TO be
doubted. and It is evident that this
lighting is merely an extensive rear
guard action to cover the movement OF
the Turks toward Constantinople.
A Constantinople dispatch reports
that the Turkish steamer Chanlee has
foundered in the Black Sea. 1t Is be-
,eved that the crew and forty-two pas
ssneers we're drowned. The steamer Is
supposed to have touched a mine.

match from that city announces the ar
rival at odessa Of two representatives
Of the Turkish Foreign Office on a Sc
cret mission. They will interview the
Russian Foreign Minister, NJ. Sazonoff'
and subsequently so TO Berlin and
Vienna.
Advices from Odessa say that the
Russian Black Sea feet is cruising off
the mouth Of the Bosporous, ostensibly
with the object Of protecting Russian
subjects at Constantinople.
