London. Nov. Earl Roberts has
raised a veritable hornets nest about
his ears by his speech at Manchester
the other day, in which he warned Eng
land TO be armed to prepare for war
against Germany only a few weeks
ago all England was only too ready to
hurl defiance at Germany and to take
offence at the slightest sign OF German
military or naval activity. Ii might
well have been thought that England
not only welcomed but eagerly await
ed the ARRAY. but now, with actual
fighting in Turkey and with a situa-
tion fraught with danger to the peace
of Europe, 1t is remembered that Ger
many is the silent but none the less
active ally of the power which is the
chief factor of danger to European
peace. The possibilities of the situation
include that of real war, in which Eng
land will be Obliged to take part II the
situation is not handled with the ut
most care and delicacy, and poor Lord
Roberts therefore is anathema simply
because he has repeated what every
Englshman has been saying for
months.
A covert threat has been made in the
House of Commons that Lord Roberts's
half-pay of $4,000 a year will be
stopped because of the speech, while
many anxious members Of Parliament
have taken advantage OF the oppor-
tunity TO say they hope Germany viii
not be offended by the unfortunate
speech, and Sir Edward Grey himself,
in more than apologize reply to ques-
tons in the House of Commons, said
! that foreign power ought not to no
tice the irresponsible statements Of a
man not a member of the government
and with no hand in shaping the policy
Of the country. On the other hand. a
number Of members Of Parliament have
! Joined in a letter to Lord Roberts prais-
| ing the speech and expressing their
| thanks for the needed warning to the
| country At the same time as the at

try which has enabled the Bulgarians
to advance so rapidly has also been
used to block every avenue Of escape
for the Turks. 49,,
There is still some fighting spirit lef:
in the Turks at Adrianople, however,
and from Bulgarian sources come 'ac-
counts of desperate sorties made by
the garrison. In some of these the
Bulgarians have had the hardest kind
of fighting to contend against.
The Bulgarian besiegers continue
pounding away with their artillery at
the forts of Adrianople, and the faii
Of the strongest one of these would
mean the capture of the city.
Thousands Dead and Wounded.
The Bulgarians have said nothing as
to their dead and wounded, but from
the accounts Of the severe fighting they
have passed through their casualties
must have been very heavy.
More than 1900 Turkish wounded
are reported to have arrived already
In Constantinople.
The ambulance services of none OF
the armies are anywhere near able to
cope with the work set them, ana
while all the countries Of Europe nave
sent contingents to assist In caring for
the wounded, the suffering in the war
area must be unparalleled.
The British Foreign Office, which
usually is one of the quietest places In
London on Saturday, was all hustle
this afternoon. Sir Edward Grey, the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
| who, contrary to custom, Is remaining
in town over the weekend, received
the Russian, Austrian, Turkish ana
Italian ambassadors and the Bulgarian
! Minister this afternoon.
All the sailors Of the British de-
stroyer and submarine squadrons on
leave have received orders to return
| Immediately. The action Of the British
Admiralty has created a stir, but II
may have no relation to the war.
Gibraltar reported to-day the pass
age OF the British cruiser Dartmouth
bound for the Levant. The third bat
tie squadron win arrive there from
England early tomorrow and will pro-
coed eastward after stay Of only one
hour.
Unusual activity in the Portsmouth
| dockyard is reported. 1t is said that
preparations are being made to get
the sixth destroyer flotllla ready fol-
| sea.
The British cruisers Barham, Wey'
mouth and Medea have been intercept
! ed by wireless and ordered TO sail foi
the Levant forthwith. The Barhan

two vessels TO places where they vii

Greece. Draws New Map of
Balkan Peninsula.
GIVES SALONICA TO SERVIA
Crete, Egean Isles, Epirus and
part of Macedonia to Greece

LRy cable to The Tribune. J

London. Nov. George Higgins
Moses, who recently resigned the post
:, American Minister 10 Greece, was in
c.,tinie at the time Montenegro de-
dared war against Turkey, and had
,se privilege of reading the declaration
,ssn before II was handed to the
TSrkish Minister IN that city. MT
Moses has always taken a deep inter-
sst in the affairs of the Balkan states,
and the presumption is, in the circum-
.,snces, that he would be particularly
usll informed on the plans Of the allies
=. far as they would be made. known
% any one not directly concerned. Ii
may be added as further evidence OF
Nr Moses's association with the allies
that II is understood he is to be pres
an, IN London in connection with the
...so,,ations for the increase of the
Greek navy.
In speaking to-day Of the situation
in southeastern Europe Mr.. Moses gave
the following outline of the partition
Of European Turkey among the balkan
states in the event of their victory:
at is more than likely that the east
srn part of Macedonia will fall to Bull
r,ria. that Old Servia and a portion OF
tie sandtak of Novipazar will fall to
seryja and the rest Of the sandjak and
the Malissori country, with boundary
not far north OF Yanina, to Montenegro.
THE southwest portion Of Macedonia
and all Epirus, Crete and the Egean
Isles will go to Greece
This" added Mr.. Moses, leaves the
central strip OF Macedonia running
down TO salonica, which may go to Ser
via, in order TO give her direct outlet
10 the sea, and provided always that
IN. economic and political difficulties
With Austria which such annexation is
likely to create can be suitably ar
ranged"
Mr.. Moses remarked that a difficulty
in making peace will be found in pos
sble complications on the question OF
compensation to Rumania, but did not
believe that the men who had prepared
this var with the skill and foresight
demonstrated by the concerted mill
tary movements Of the four allied
states could have neglected so impor-
tant a feature of the final settlement.
He thought, indeed, that the Balkan
States had reached definite conclu-
sion on the subject with Rumania be-
fore the first steps in the Balkan mo-
bilization had been taken.
Concerning Austrfa's interests in a
inal settlement, Mr.. Moses thought
hey would prove purely commercial
Ind that so long as no obstacle was
placed in the way Of the development

ectly content with the solution out

London, Nov. AFTER the long and
decisive battle of the war there IS
calm for a few hours. No late news

army will be able to pull itself to-
gether and whether ii viii make
stand In the forts outside Of Con-
stantinople are questions unanswered.
The Servian advance toward Salonlca

messages insist that the Greek army
has met with a repulse, that the Crown
Prince ran away and that the Greek
position is precarious.
Adrianople and Salonica are now sur
rounded by enemies. The Turkish army
