LONDON, Nov. 30.-Tho second
month Of the shortest great European
war In history closes under brighter
auspices than the statesmen who have
been handling the tangled skeln OF
conflicting national interests dared
TO predict. An armistice will be sign

palace car By the delegates OF the
belligerent states who have been con-

The terms of the armistIce have not
yet been announced. Chief interest
centers in Adrianople. where the
Turkish garrison with diminishing
ammunition and short ratlons still
makes historic resistance against the
Servians and Bulgarians with their
Gordon Of artillery steadily crowding
closer around the citadel.
The project for establishing a dip

arranged within two days While
Turkey and the Balkan states may
arrange n treaty of peace by direct
negotiations, they can hardly do this
without constant consultation with
the powers.
conference of Albanian politicians
at Avlona has launched provisional
government with Ismail Kemal Bey,
a Mussulman. as president, and n
Catholic vice president The Albanian
flag has been raised and Albania has
been declared n neutral state under
the protection OF the powers. The
new government has advised the peo-
pie OF Durazzo and Elassona not to
oppose the Servians.
The autonomous Albania Is an ex-
tremely neeulous state. since Albania
Is without definite geographical boun-
daries and almost without roads, and
the people, therefore have fostered n
deep-rooted prejudice against paying
taxes to any government. The final
settlement OF their future problem is
second only to that Of reconciling Ser
via and Austria over Servian deter
mlnation to retain port on the Ad-
riatic.
While the danger that the belliger-
ents may fail to settle their differences
and hostilities may be resumed after
the negotiations looms large, the
fact that the armies before CONSTANT
nople have practically reached dead
lock is the strongest force making for
peace. Military experts consider that
1t would be almost impossible for the
allies to break the Tchatalja breast
works while 1t will be equally impos-
slble for the Turks to succeed in an
offensive movement.
Bulgaria has come to the end OF
her resources in men and has called
