which may seem almost unintelligible
to those who believe that because for
certain purposes the powers have been

interest in the exact form which the
political and territorial redistributions

Belgrade Newspapers, No
Negotiations Are Possible.

Belgrade, Nov. 9-The newspapers
continue to assert that until Servia Sc
cures a seaport on the Adriatic no ne
gotiations are possible, Notwithstanding
the protests of Austria and Italy.
THE league of the Balkan nations Is
utterly. opposed to making Albania an
autonomous state. as desired by Ger
many, Austria Hungary and Italy"
said Premier Pachtch, of Servia, in the
course of an interview here to-day.
The Premier laid emphasis on the
fact that the allied Balkan States were
working in complete harmony on all
questions. He declared that they de-
manded the complete disappearance Of
the sovereignty Of the Sultan from
European, Turkey and the division Of
the territory among the victorious ma
tions belonging to the Balkan League.
The partition of Turkish territory, he
said, had already been arranged along
broad lines by the allies, the only ques-
tions left open for discussion. being
those relating to the destiny of Con-
stantfnople, Salonica and the Dar-
danelles.
The fate Of Constantinople and the
Dardanelles, said the Premier, would
be left to the decision Of the European
Powers. AS for Salonica, however the
Balkan allies had not yet reached an
agreement as to who was to have 1t.
King Peter, since the entry into Us
kub, has received the heads Of the diff
ferent religious communities. He has
visited all the Mohammedan mosques,
which are now closed, and has encour-
aged the people to return to their usual
lives and occupations.
The consuls have addressed notes to
their respective governments complain
ing that the Servian officials do not
recognize rights accorded them by the
Turkish government. The Russian
Consul, in full uniform, has paid visit
to the Servian commander, but the
Austrian Consul has held aloof.
1t is reported from Uskub that a sec
oni artillery division under General
Sttphanovitch arrived before Adri-
anople on Tuesday to assist the Bull

Visits to prisoners Of war, Of which
there are six thousand here. have been

Because of the suffering of the wounded
and the plight of the refugees in the seat
OF war in the Near East plans were COM

day afternoon in theNational Arts Club

mission work in Turkey will meet at that
time.
Pending the decision OF the meeting, one
of the persons who was instrumental In
taking concerted action said yesterday
that It was probable that the relief move
ment would become a vast one and would
be a vital asset to the Red Cross In al
leviating the sufferings of the wounded
as well as that Of the refugees.
81 am not in a position to state definite
ly what will be DONE" it was declared by
this person, but a considerable amount
of money no doubt will be raised. The
work to be done would most likely be as
an auxiliary of the Red Cross" .....

The officers who were sent into re-

1909 for political reasons are now neihg
reinstated according to a special dis-
oo,ob from Constantinople to the
"pcho de Paris" They will do their
utmost to lick into shape the tresh
troops being drafted into Nazim
Pacha's army, which is being reorgan-

Gbazi Ahmet Mukhtar Pacha' the
veteran victor of Kars. in the Russo
kurdish war OF 1877 and n former
GRAND yizier. in a published interview
explained the defeat of the Turkish
army In the following way:
"The Young Turks have ruined our
army. Formerly part Of the officers
came from the ranks and the remain
der from the military schools. The
Young Turks did not like that system.
Thev began by pensioning or finding
other situations for the men who had

sattalions Need officers.

"Our battalions Of infantry, which
are eight hundred strong, had only
ssven officers each at the outbreak of
the war, whereas in the past they had
always sixteen or seventeen. What
could you expect our brave soldiers to
do without officers and without food,
for we have no commissariat depart

Straus Takes Quick Action.

Oscar s. Straus, former Ambassador to
Turkey, received yesterday a cable mes
sage from Ambassador Rockwell saying:
"Can you help Turkish wounded?
Funds urgently needed"
Mr.. Straus Immediately after the re-
ceipt Of this message from the Ameri-
can Ambassador to Turkey, got into COM
munication with American missionary
societies in New York, Philadelphia and
Boston, and after spending the morning
in this work announced that conference
would be held in this city at the National
Arts Club, on Wednesday next, at 2
o oclock, to discuss ways and means of
raising funds for the relief Of the suf-
ferers in the Ottoman Empire, regard
less of race, creed or religion"
Mr.. Straus sent cable TO Ambassador
Rockwell informing him that immediate
steps would be taken to provide relief
for the needy In Turkey and requesting
that fuller details be sent from time to
time Mr. Straus said there were nu-
merOus Americans engaged In business In
Turkey, and he believed they might also
be in need Of aid. Among the other
American interests in Turkey, are $50
schools and seven American colleges.
Dr. George F. Herrick. OF the American
Board, in speaking of the wounded, said
that while their condition was terrible,
that OF the refugees was appalling. and
that speedy relief was most imperative.
Dr. Henry Otis Dwight, secretary of the
American Bible Society. who spent thirty
years in Turkey, as missionary, said
yesterday that there was every reason 70
be alarmed In view Of the possibility of
holy war.

be a virtue to kill any Christian. The
war would be against any and all OF

city. There had been an armistice de-
