TO RESUME WAR
Terms Of Allies Bound Turkey
Hand and Foot.

Constantinople, Nov. 23.-The reJec
tion by Turkey of the conditions Of
fered for an armistice between the op-
posing armies has been communicat-
ed to the Bulgarian government.
One of the causes for their rejection
was the opinion held in official circles
In Constantinople that the conditions
proposed by the allies deprived the
Turks Of the possibility Of resuming
hostilities In the event of the plenjpo-
tentiaries failing to settle terms. This,
from the Turkish point OF view. meant
no armistice at all. Such conditions,
IL is held here, are only made when 1t
is a question of the preliminaries of
peace and by accepting such terms as
those presented by the allies Turkey
would be binding herself hand and
foot
It Is further insisted that Turkey has
not sunk to that degree OF impoteEcy
which would compel her to accept such
conditions.

which brought out that Schrank was
afflicted with chronic paranoia and
that ne was addicted to homicidal ten

DR.. Dewey would not say that the
disease was incurable In Schrank's
case, but said it was doubtful that a

London, Nov. 23.-"Come and take
them," the defiant reply of the Turks
TO the demand made by the allied Bal
kan nations for the evacuation of the
line of Notifications at Tchatalja in
front of Constantinople, is not believed
in diplomatic circles necessarily to
mean the end of the negotiations for
an armistice even though fighting has
been resumed.
From Sofia comes word that the vic
torious invaders are likely TO modify
their conditions. The Europeon pow
ers at the same time are exerting
themselves to induce the nations COM
posing the Balkan league to bring
their terms more into line with the
facts of the situation and to arrange
treaty which will give them all they
have conquered but will leave out
that which has not been conquered.
Compared with it's earlier disastrous
experiences the Turkish army evident
ly now considers itself in a favorable
position. Military experts here see
in the temporary failure OF the Bull
garian rush into Constantinople signs
of reaction among the invaders af-
ter their sustained efforts of the past
month.
Demand May Be Withdrawn.
In view of the fact that the Otto
man capital, even If captured, must
ultimately be evacuated in accordance
with the decree of the great powers,
1t appears that the allies have nothing
to gain by insisting on the surrender
of the lines which form virtually the
gates of the city.
Hence the hope expressed by dip
lomats that this demand will be with.
drawn, in which case II is thought that
Turkey, recognizing that she has no
prospect of taking the offensive for
the recovery of her lost territory.
would quickly conclude that she has
nothing to gain by continuing the con-
fiict.
She would perhaps agree to enter
into negotiations on the basis of a
surrender of all but reasonable strip
Of territory at the back OF CONSTANT
nople, the Dardanelles and the Bos-
phorus.
Fighting continues along the entire
line of Notifications at Tchatalja, ac-
cwding to dispatches from CONSTANT
nople. The Bulgarians are continuing
their efforts to break through the
Turkish lines, but so far have been
prevented from doing so by the fire
from the Turkish warships.

Perfect sterilization OF liquids by
