London, Dec. 21.--Turkey is playine the old game of delay and has caused further postponement of the peace conference which adjourned to Mon day after brief and fruitless session this afternoon. It is evident that the Turkish delegates are trying to gain the right to provision Adrianople by consenting to include Greece in the conference The allies are anxious to proceed and have openly hinted that these delays must come to an end.
 Today's sitting was the most i'm, portant since the beginning of the conference as it was the first time the opposite parties had come into a ser ious engagement, which is prelimin- ary to the crucial question over the possession of Adrianople.
 The Montenegrin ex-premier Miyus- kovitch, who presided, seemed on ac- count of his rather severe and imper- ioug aspect, to be the best president for the occasion of a stormy sitting. When the president asked Reichad Pasha to communicate in confidence the answer which ne had received from Constantinople there was a mo ment of breathless silence.
 Reichad Pasha rose and outlined the instructions he had received to the effect that Turkey should not treat with Greece, as the latter state had put herself out of the negotiations by refusing to adhere to the armistice. But, he added, wishing to show leni- ent spirit and a conciliatoTy disposi- ton. and also out of regard for Eu- rope, Turkey was willing to treat, on condition that the allies in return granted the privilege of revictualling Adrianople.
 This, he pointed out, was simply a humanitarian request as there were moro han 150,0OO people suffering from lack of food, besides the belli- gerents. Revictualling this fortress, he argued, would not change the sit uation ae 1t existed when the armis- tice was concluded, at which time the Bulgarians declared they could seize Adrianople whenever they wished, or force Tchatalja.
 Reichad Pasha's statement caused a great sensation and the Balkan dele gates exchanged impressions in whis- pers among themselves.
 The head of the Turkish delegation continued to give the Ottoman view point which aimed to eliminate disas- ters and sufferings from the war, by supplying tO Adrianople what is strict ly necessary to sustain life.
 The conference then would be able to proceed with it's work, in the know ledge that the town was not staTv- ing while tue delegates were negotiat- ing.
 Dr. Daneff, the chief Bulgarian plenipotentiary, eloquently countered with solid arguments against Turkeys proposition. He recalled that the armistice was an accomplished fact and was so well defined that the dele gates lacked the power to change It., their mission being circumscribed to the conclusion of peace. With refer cree to peace he said there was no limit to their powers, but their creden- tials did not authorize them to deal with incidents either already solved or outside the mission which brought them to London
 Osman Nazimi Pasha continued the argument for Turkey, citing numerous historical occasions when similar con sessions were made.
 The Greek premier, NJ. Venizelos, asserted that serious damage would result to the allies if the towns were revictualled. The balance Of forces on the opposite sides will be changed in favor of the beseiged, besides giv- ing the opponents of the allies an op- portunity to procrastinate as long as there was no fean Of the equalization of the beseiged towns.
 The Seryian delegate M Novako- witch, said that the Turkish request was quite unacceptable, as it entire ly modified the base on which the 1rmistice was founded.
 Reichad Pasha insisted that the pro posal was already made, which was received with further opposition.
 Twice the delegates left their places and gathered in groups to see if any modus vivendi were possible between the extreme views, but in vain. Finally the Ottoman delegates pro posed that the sitting be adjourned untfl Monday to enable each dele gate to ask for fresh instructions. The Balkan delegates dined tonight ar the Russian embassy. Amid great enthusiasm they pledged each othel to Russia and sent a message of Toy ally addressed to the Russian emper !, or
