REPORT OF AN ARMlsTIcE
PROVES TO BE UNFOUNDEC

London, Nov. 90. The report that an
eight hour armistice had been agreed
to by the Bulgarians and Turks along
the Tchatalia lines for the burial of
the dead appears to have been un-
founded Dispatches from NaZim
Pasha. the Turkish commander in
chief, show that an artillery duel con-
tinued throughout the day.
The Turks claim success against the
Bulgarians. but there is nothing to in
dicate that the Bulgarans have yet
made any serious attempt to penetrate
the lines. The battle may be ended at
any moment by Turkey accepting the
allies terms for an armistice. which
are said to include the surrender of
the Tchatalja lines. Adrianople. Dn-
r;,ZZo and Scutari.
There is a possibility. however that
Turkey may decline to surrender Tcha- :

coNsTANTINoPLE ANXIOUS
OVER UMIoNIsTs' ACTIVITIES

London, Nov. 20.--Both Ottoman and
foreign interests in Constantinople,
while awaiting the publication there of
definite news regarding the progress of
the war, is chiefly interested in the
large number of arrests of politicians
and writer's belonging TO the party of
nnion and progress, according to u spc-
cial dispatch from the Turkish capital.
The Ottoman government. through a
local press agency has issued a state
ment that only 40 arrests have been
made and that the sole reason for these
was the organization of d demonstra-
tion by university students In front OF
the government offices on October Z.
AT first the most remarkable stories
We're circulated in explanation of the
arrests. With view of influencing
Musselman opinion, il was explained
that the unionists were plotting to es-
tablish a republic. An attempt was
made to divert Christian sympathy
from the arrested men by the circula
tion of report that the object of the
organization was to arrange massacres
and to blow up the foreign quarter at
Pera. These reports We're so mani
fcstly and clumsily false that the gov
ernment felt onstrained to issue to-
days statement regarding the students.
Diplomatic circles. however. attribute
the arrests to a very different reason.
They believe they were due to the
nomination by the sultan. at the be-
hest of the unionists of Mahmoud
Shefket Pasha as inspector general of
the army This action was intended
to cause the fall of the Ottoman cab
