Crisis in London Peace
Conference Is at
Hand.
ALL DEPENDS ON
TURKEYS REPLY
If Porte Consents to Waive De-
nand for Revictualing Adrian
ople, Then Balkan Allies VIII
Present Their Terms.
Otherwise War Will
Be Resumed.

London. December 22.-The CRISIS OF
the peace conference Will be reached
at the session tomorrow. If the Turks
decide TO waive their demand for re-
victualing Adrianople the allies Will
present their terms for peace. The
conference can then proceed to the dis
cussion OF its real business.
To-day the Turkish Cabinet met anG
telegraphed instructions 10 the Otto
man delegation. All the delegations
held conferences at their hotels ana
dispatched long cipher kilograms to
their governments.
The allies oppose the Turkish re-
quest for the provisioning Of Adrian
ople. not only because IL would give
the enemy a grear advantage In event
of the resumption of fighting, which
would not have been earned by arms.
but on technical grounds. because the
delegates have not the power to re-
open military questions which the
Tchatalja conferees VINO signed the
armistice. dealt with.
Opening another chapter Of warfare
is a step which the allies do not invite
but for which they profess TO be fully
prepared. While suspicion exists that
the Turks have been sparring to gain
time since the conference assembled
ten days ago, the consensus OF opSn-
ion is that the Turkish government
will recognize the situation and con-
clude peace. and that the political 81,
uation in Constantinople dictates that
course. The advice which the principal
powers have been giving Turkey is
in the direction OF peace.
Ready to Resume War.
The Bulgarians declare that IL the
Turks are not ready to come to terms
and if none of the powers offers ac-
ceptable mediation, the allies are ready
to resume the war Immediately with
renewed ardor, greater vigor and a
deeper feeling that they Will achieve
ultimate victory be cause. as they them
selves express it, they ARE fighting not
only for the independence OF the Bal
kans. but fo~ Western civilization
against the traditional Eastern enemy.
Among the allies the claim is made
that their military position has been
greatly strengthened, and If they must
reopen the war they can muster be-
tween Adrianople and Tcbatalja
35e.00 men. including 100000 Bu1ga-
rians who are veterans of the Novem-
Der battles; 10000 fresh and we'll
drilled Bulgarians, anxious to emulate
their brothers-in-arms; $4,000 Servians
ana iV,Vuu Lreeks. VINO can D. ianUeu
at Dedeagatch and Enos at a moments
notice.
Most Of the military men here be-
lieve the allies will not attack the
TchatdIja lines. which have been rein
forced with fresh troops and the for
tihcations strengthened. but Will await
the attacks of the Turks behind their
entertainments. while pressing the
siege of Adrianople and forcing its
equalization.
Both the Turkish and Bulgarian
armies are supposed to have construct
