Threaten to Break Off Negotiations

Besieged Cities.
London, Dee. 20.-The peace pleni-
potentiaries of the Balkan allies and
Turkey were in session at St. James
palace for only about three-quarters of
an hour.
Then Rechad Pasha and Saith Pasha
hurriedly left the palace and went
to their hotel. They refused at first to
give any information.
1t was later announced that the
peace conference had adjourned until
Saturday. The Turkish delegates said
later that they are not yet in posses
sion of their full instructions, or their
new credentials, which have been dis
patched from Constantinople by spe-
cial courier, that the conference had
decided it must await their arrival and
consequently adjourned.
The new credentials awaited by the
Turks are necessitated by changes in
their instructions regarding negotia-
tons with the Greek delegates.
Whether peace is to- be declared be-
tween Turkey and the Balkan allies
or whether the war Is to be continued
is expected to be settled within forty
-:sht hours. In diplomatic circles in
London the opinion prevails that If the
thorny obstacles which are likely to
present themselves at the sessions OF
the peace conference can be surmount-
ed or circumvented peace will be as
sured.
The revictualing of the Turkish for
tress at Adrianople, on which the
Turks are reported to insist as con-
dition to the waving of their demand
that Greece should sign the armistice,
Is most troublesome point, and If the
Turks maintain their attitude 1t will
indicate that they are still firm on the
subject of the retention of the fortress
after the war.
A Constantinople dispatch says that
at council of ministers it was decid-
ed to demand that the allies allow the
Turks to revictual Adrianople, Janina
and Scutari. The Turks threaten to
break off negotiations with the allies
If this request Is refused.
It Is thought in London that should
Turkey carry her point in regard to
revictualing the garrison of Adriano-
pie it would mean that the possession
of that fortress would ultimately re-
main with the Turks.

participation in the peace conference
shall have been settled, If that is pos
sible, the demands of the allies will
be unfolded and a crucial stage will
have been reached when the good Of
fees of the powers may be needed.
Without outside mediation it ap-
pears impossible now to bridge the
gulf dividing the minimum demands
of the allied Balkan nations and the
maximum offer of the Turks, If these
demands and this offer are to be &C
cepted at their face value

Greek military airman and an accom-

city in an aeroplane, according to Of
fetal advices received in Paris
The airman, whose name was Mou-
toussis, took large supply of bombs
in his biplane, and he and the Greek
officer with him hurled these explo-
sive missiles down on the principal
buildings, to which they caused seri.
