London, Dec. 5.-The peace plenipo
tentiaries representing Turkey, Bull
garia, Servia and Montenegro will be
gin their work in London On Friday
of next week.
It is officially announced at Sofia
that the Greek plenipotentiaries al
Baghtche did not definitely reject the
terms of the armistice, but reserved
their decision for twenty-four hours
Even in the event of her declining tc
approve the armistice protocol, Greece
will participate in the peace negotia
tions in London.
The armistice contains the follow
ing conditions:
1. The belligerent armies shall remain
in the positions they at present oc
cupy.
2. The besieged Turkish fortressei
shall not be evacuated.
d. uS iSNlCludiluS VI Iuo IoulSoii iaA
army in the field shall be carried out
by way of the Black sea and Adriano
pie, commencing ten days after the
signature of the armistice.
4. The negotiations for peace shall
begin in London on Dec. 13.
Turkeys concession to the effect
that Turkish garrisons now under siege
should not be revictualed indicates
that Turkey believes that peace will
be speedily concluded.
A feeling of intense relief swept
through Turkish government circles
when news of the armistice was pro-
mulgated. Turkey regards the final
outcome of the negotiations as vic
tory for the Ottoman ENJOYS.
Turkey retains her national honor
and we believe that our empire has
been strengthened rather than weak
ened," said Grand Vizier Kiamil Pasha
at the close of meeting of the minis
terial council.
While the Turks have refused to
surrender Adrianople, Scutari and Ja-
nina, they have agreed to discuss the
cession of these places at the peace
negotiations at London. according to
a Sofia dispatch to the Paris Matin.
A Constantinople dispatch to the
Times says that a report is current
there that certain of the powers adj
vised Bulgaria to sign the armfstiee
without the Greeks, on condition that
the campaign, if continued by Greece,
should be localized in Epirus.
The Greek people felt that Janina
should be surrendered to them and
that the Turks on the islands of Chios
and Mitylene should also give up their
arms rather than merely march away,
as they might do under the terms of
the armistice. But most of all the
Greeks were indignant over the pro-
posal that all besieged towns should
be daily revictualed during the armis-
tice, which, although not announced, is
supposedly for fourteen days.
They thought that if the siege of
AdrianopIe was thus raised voluntarily
and the Bulgars deprived themselves
of what was practically in their grasp
they would be called upon to sacrifice
some of the land they had wrested
from the Turks as reward to the Bull
garians.
So the Greek representatives, armed
with these instructions from their gov
ernment, came before the delegates
and said very firmly that they would
sion M c1,ch armictioo at this time
Servia, Montenegro and Bulgaria
thereupon told the Greeks that if they
would not strike hands with their al
lies and weer insistent upon holding
out, they could fight on. But under
these circumstances they must fight
alone The three Balkan states felt,
said their representatives, that it was
time for an armistice and that 1t
should be signed.
