MAY FIND WAY OUT
OF ADR|ANOP[E TROUBLE
SaIoniki Has Been Suggested
as Possible Bait to Pacify
the BuIgarians.

LONDON. December 261The posses
sion Of the Turkish fortress of Adrla-
nople, which has been the PRINCIPAL bone
of contention since the beginning or the
war between Turkey and the Balkan
allies, still remains at this moment the
real stumbling block in the way OF the
attainment of peace. Compensation for
Bulgaria, however. in some other part OF
European Turkey probably will, in the
end, remove even this difficulty and en-
able her to consent to the retention Dy
Turkey of the great fortress which the
allied troops have been unable to subdue.
Saloniki has been suggested as pos
sible bait to induce the Bulgarians to
abandon their claims to the northern city
which the Turks refuse to yield.
Perhaps with some such idea in their
minds the Turkish delegates have, it is
reported. included in the counter pro-
posals they have offered to the peace
conference the stipulation that Saloniki
shall remain in their hands, line be-
ing drawn from that southern port
through Series and Adrianople to Midia.

allies ard the minimum offer of the Turks
thus will be before the peace delegates
when they assemble again in st. James
Palace on Saturday. and a definite basis
for bargaining will have been formulated.
If the Turks are successful In retaining
AdrianOple they doubtless will consent to
limit their demands to a western bound
airy running from Adrianople southwark
along the railroad to Enos on the Aegean
sea. thus leaving the Dardanelles straits
in their hands.
Diplomatic circles here consider there
is certain to be a gradual approximation
of the excessive terms put forward by
tn. Balkan. allies and the Turks, and
when that stage has once been reached
third parties may have chance to in
teryene In order to reconcile the remain
ing differences between the adversaries.
