LOlluOL, ne
army is in full retreat on Constants
nople and the Turkish government
has asked the powers to intervene
An official bulletin was issued by
the government at Constantinople, ad,
hitting defeat at the hands Of the
Bulgarians in the great battle on the
Thracean plains.
Application was made to the en-
bassies in Constantinople for media,
ton by the powers to end the hostil-
tiles and arrange a peace agreement.
The ambassadors, prior to this, had
asked the porte to grant permission
to each of the great powers to send
one warship through the Dradanelles,
and this request had been complied
with. The only guarantee of safety
for the native Christians, and perhaps
foreigners, in Constantinople, is to be
found in the presence of the warships
of the great powers in the harbor of
the Turkish capital.
IL is lLG SSlSl al DSllSl lHdI Dur
garia will refuse to listen to anything
in the way of Intervention until the
Bulgarian army is at the gates of
and will insist that
Turkey make an appeal direct to the
allies without interference from the
powers.
The powers have not been able to
agree upon the French premier's for
mula of territorial disinterestedness"
which is not acceptable to either Aus
tria or Germany. They are taking
steps, however, for the protection of
Christians and their own political in
terests in Turkey. One warship, in
addition to the vessels already dis
patched to the Turkish ports, will be
sent through the Dradanelles by each
Of the powers.
The besieging forces are tightening
their grip around Adrianople and the
bombarding is becoming more vigor-
ous. In other directions the allies are
consolidating their occupation of
Turkish territory.
