Powers a request for mediation prop

dressed to her.
The French attitude in regard to the
Turkish appeal for mediation is shar-

proposals were as follows:
First-That the Powers offer and Il
need be in force an armistice on the
belligerents.
Second-That the Powers profit by
the armistice 10 invite the belligerents

said. would check the advance of the
allies at the height of their victories
and give the Turks time to re-organ-
ize and strengthen their armies.

TURKEY CALLS FOR ASSISTANCE
Ambassador to Greet Britain Petitions
For Mediation.

London, Nov. 4.-The Turkish ambassa-

of hostilities with a view of arriving at

Tewffk Pasha Immediately on receiving
the communication from Constantinople
went to the foreign office and conferred
with Sir Edward Grey. the British for
eign minister for two hours.
1.-THE Union of the Balkan states at this
moment is more close, hearty and inti-
mate than it has ever been. for it has
been welded by blood and common sacri-
flee. There is not the least danger that
any disagreement as to the division OF
territories or the positions of the from
tiers will disturb it. IT may be assumed
that inasmueh as the details of the cam
paign We're arranged with the greatest
care the same procedure will be followed
both as to the conclusion of hostilties
and subsequent political considerations. .
The Balkan nations and Greece in
sist that Turkey must arrange direct
with them the terms of peace without
the intervention of the European pow
ers Thus attitude is emphasized in
a statement from official sources which
says:
THE Turkish proposal of peace is
satisfactory in SO far as ii shows Il
desire To prevent further hloodshed.
"As regards foreign Intervention
however. there seems TO be no chance
of the Balkan States listening to an!
foreign counsels. While treating for the
arrangement of conditions of peace
These must be settled between the Bal
kan states and Turkey direct.
1T may at this stage be declared
that the whole campaign was pre-ar-
ranged and has SO far been carried
out entirely in accordance with the
program. For considerable time an
officer of the Greek military staff, Col
oneI Dousmanis, was engaged at soma
