LONDON, Nov 14.-With the Turk
ish armies beaten in every battle
during the months war and now be-
hind the fortifications at Tchatalja
defending the capital of the empire
the Ottoman government has APP
pealed to Bulgaria for an armisticc
pending the opening of negotiations
for peace. according to an official dis
patch received from ConstantinopIe
today. With the receipt of these dis
patches come the rumors that Ad-
rianople has fallen.
What terms, If any, Turkey has
proposed have not been disclosed
They must, however. in the opinion
of diplomats, be unlimited II they are
to prove acceptable to Bulgaria
with the last defenses of CONSTANT
nople almost in her hands, Bulgaria
= Is unlikely to consent to any armis-
tice except on conditions giving her
full military advantage.
Turkey will have the support of tbs
European powers in her request fol-
cessation OF hostilities. The repre-
eentatives of the various nations al
Sofia have now received full instruc-
tions regarding the proposal OF
mediation, and they held meeting
at noon today to discuss the method
to be adopted for making the COM
munication of the Turkish request to
the Bulgarian cabinet.
Action of Powers Far-reaching.
The armistice asked for by Turkey
will affect only the fightlng at the
Tchatalja fortifications. while the
step the European powers have taken
as the object of putting an end to the
war in all parts of the Balkan penin-
sula.
Until the powers succeed in inf1u-
encing the allies in the direction OF
peace the fighting at Monastir, Sou
tari and other portions of Turkeys on
the vast European dominion will con-
t,nue, no matter how Bulgaria re-
CARDS the appeal made by Kiami
Pasha.
While, therefore. Turkeys recogni-
path of diplomacy, and may result
in Constantinople, the Dardanelles
and perhaps some other parts of her
European possessions being left tc
her and prevent scramble for them
by the powers, there are still some
serious questions to be dealt with
Among these are, notably. those OF
the position of Albania and of the
Servian ambition to have port on
the Adriatic sea.
The Albanians are taking steps to
make their country Independent. and
besides publishing a proclamation OF
autonomy the Albanian Nationalist
organization has issued a protest
against any attempt to interfere with
the freedom and integrity of the
country. The organization also makes
the charge that the Servians have
secretly murdered all the Albanian
prisoners of war.
AS to the Adriatic, which, accord
ing to a report from Alessio today,
the Servians have not yet reached,
there is no official change either in
the Austro- Italian or the Servian at
titude.
The tendencies of the powers to
respect each others interests make
the outlook even more hopeful es-
pecially In view of Russia's determi-
nation not to SO to war about the
matter. 1t is thought that Euro
pean conference viii find way out
OF the difficulties.
A dispatch from Alessio confirms
the previous reports that the Monte
negrin army advancing on that town
has suffered a reverse. The Montene-
grins were unable to take the town
owing to the Mirdite tribesmen join
ing forces with the Turks. The Mon
tenegrins were driven back as far as
the Boyana' river.
