DELAYING PEACE
Turkish Fortress Still the
Stumbling Block.
COMPROMISE is EXPECTED

ern City and That the Allies Will
Accept the Proposal.
London, Dec. 27.-The possession of
the Turkish fortress at Adrianople
which has been the principal bone of
contention since the beginning of the
war between Turkey and the Balkan
aiiles, still remains at this moment
the real stumbling block in the way
of peace.
Compensation for Bulgaria, how.
ever, in some other parts Of European
Turkey probably will in the end re.
move even this difficulty and enable
her to consent to the retention by
Turkey of the great fortress which
the allied troops have been unable to
subdue.
Salonik has been suggested as a.
possible bait to induce the Bulgarians
to abandon their claim to the north.
ern 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
proposals they have offered to the
peace conference the stipulation that
Salonih shall remain in their hands,
a line being drawn from the southern
port through Series and Adrianople to
Midia.
The maximum demands of the Bal
kan allies and the minimum offers of
the Turks will thus be before the
peace delegates when they assemble
again in st. James palace on Saturday
and definite basis for bargaining will
have been formulated
II the Turks are successful in re-
tanning Adrianople they will doubtless
consent to limit their demands to
western boundary running from Ad-
rianople southwark along the railroad
to Enos, on the Aegean sea, thus leav-
ing the Dardanelie straits in their
hands.
