oNDoN SEES HOPE OF AVERT
ING EUROPEAN WAR.

CoNSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 21.-Sceptl-
cism continues here in regard to the
prospects of an understanding between
Turkey and Bulgaria. To-day's meeting
Of the Turkish and Bulgarian delegates
at the village of Baghtche Is not ex-
pected to go beyond Il preliminary re-
view OF the conditions OF a possible
armlstice.
1t Is not improbable that the discus
sions will last several days. We princl-
pal Turkish plcnipotentiary Osman Nj
zaml Pasha. Turkish Ambassador at
Berlin, indeed arrives only to-day. as he
broke his Journey both at Vienna and
Bucharest and had interviews with
Count Berchthold. Austro- HunlO tian
Foreign Minister, and King Charles of
Rumanla.
Importance Ia attached to these dipo-
matte conversations, as It is believed
they will have bearing on the negotia-
lions at Baghtche.
LONDON, Nov. 2I.-The fact that the
European powers have at last realized
that they are drifting toward certain
conflict tends to relieve the immediate
tension of the international political
tangle into which the Balkan situation
has now developed. The belief that
Great Britain. France and Germany
will succeed in averting the threatened
general European war has been
strengthened within the last twenty
four hours. ....
1t Is now asserted that Austro-IIun-
gary - prepared to agree to the ques-
lions concerning the future OF Albania
and the desire Of Servia for port on
the Adriatic Sea being settled In con-
nectlon with all other issues raised by
the Balkan war as was recently pro-
posed by Premier Asau!th. IL this
change of the Austro- Hungarian att,-
tude should be confirmed the danger
Gus pressure at present existing will be
removed.
Diplomats declare that they see
plenty of methods OF meeting the re-
quirements of Servia without seri-
ously mountaineering Austria Hun
