London, Nov. 23.-"Come and take
them," the defiant reply of the Turks
10 the demand made by the allied Bal
kan nations for the evacuation of the.
line of Notifications at Tchatalja II
front of Constantinople, is not believ-
ed in diplomatic circles necessarily to
means the end of the negotiations for
an armistice, even though fighting has,
been resumed.
The announcement from Sofia of the
appointment of Bulgarian plenipoten-
tiaries to discuss the terms of an ar
mistice with the Turkish ENJOYS tends
to confirm the contention of diplomats
that the Ottoman rejection of the first
terms proposed by Bulgaria has not
barred the door to further negotia-
tions.
Even the Ottoman embassy agrees
that if the "exorbitant" demand for
the evacuation of the famous Tchat
ALA line of Notifications is dropped
the principal obstacle to the discussion
of terms will be removed.
DR.. s. Daneff, president Of the Bull
garian parliament; General Savoff, the
chief of staff Of the Bulgarian army.
have been appointed Bulgarian plenisa
potentiaries. They will proceed imme-
diately to the Tchatalja lines to meet
the Turkish plenipotentiaries there.
Now that the delegates have been
appointed it Is expected at Sofia that
formal negotiations between the Bull
garians and the Turks will begin In
twenty-four hours.
The rejection Of the preliminary
conditions by the Turks caused little
surprise at Sofia The Bulgarians ex-
pected to encounter the Turkish pro
pehsity for bargaining, and therefore
demanded more than they expected TO.

The Balkan allies are prepared to !
grant reasonable notifications of their |
terms, and are confident that Turkey
will finally agree to them. AS they do
not fear that delay will cause them
any serious disadvantage, the Bulgar-
ians are all the more ready to make
concessions because they are anxious
to settle affairs with Turkey without
the intervention of the powers.
I. is asserted that the Bulgarian
cabinet has given the European pow
ers the assurance that the Bn1sax;orst
troops will not enter Constantinople
and that this will obviate interference
from Europe.
Fighting continues along the entire
line of Notifications at Tchatalja, ac-
cording to dispatches from Constants
nople. The Bulgarians are continuing
their efforts to break through the
Turkish lines, but have hitherto been
prevented from doing 80 by the fire
Of the Turkish warships.
In view of the fact that the Otto
man capital. even If captured, must ul.
timately be evacuated in accordance
with the decree of the powers, 1t ap-
pears that the allies have nothing to
gain by insisting upon the surrender
Of the lines which form virtually the
gates Of the city.
The terms stipulated by the allied
Balkan nations provided for the sur
render of Adrianople with its garri-
son, for the evacuation of the Tchat-
ALA lines in front of Constantincple,
and for the surrender Of Scutari, Du-
razzo and Dibra. No mention Is made
of Constahtinople or the Dardanelles.
The Turkish cruiser Hamidieh ar
rived at Constantinople in tow. The
warship was down by the stern, where
she apparently had been struck by
torpedo. She was Immediately docked.
A conference of importance began
at Berlin, when Archduke Francis Fer
dinand, heir to the Austrian throne,
arrived from Vienna to discuss affairs
of the near east. Emperor William
and Foreign Minister Won Kiderlen-
Watcher met the archduke at tho
railway station, accompanied by
brilliant staff of state and army ON.
GERS.
Thirty thousand Greek troops were
ordered to reinforce the Bulgarian
army attacking the Tchatalja de-
fenses. It will be some time before
the Greeks arrive on the firing line, as
they will have to cross nearly $50
niles of territory from their present
uase south of Monastfr.
