MEDIATION ATTEMPTED.
Now Possible euisarians May Not
Enter Ottoman Capital
Movements Of
Armies.

London. Nov. 13.-Judging by all
precedents in the present war, the
news from Co1stantinople last night
was the herald of another Turkish de-
feat at the Tchatalja lines. where a
battle has been proceeding for the
last two or three days.
The Turkish admission that so
many wounded are arriving at the
capital as to show that the Turks are
offering fierce resistance, has a great
significance, in view of previous adj
missions of a similar nature. and may
be regarded as preparing the public
mind for another disappointment. II
may be quite possible that this will
prove the last great battle of the cam
paign.
There are indications that Bulgaria
may, after all. forego a ;riumphal en-
try into Constantinople. According
to some reports, Bulgaria will be con-
tent with finding suitable winter quar-.
ters for her army while the peace ne
gotiations are going on and subse-
luent settlements are being arranged.
Step Toward Mediation.
The question of mediation has made
another step forward in the announce
ment from Paris that the Austrian
government has agreed to join with
the other powers in transmitting Tur-
keys request for mediation to the
allies and in inquiring on what terms
oil 10
iation.
The revelation OF the danger to Eu-
ropean peace lying in the antagonistic
interests of Austria and Servia ap-
pears to have quickened the sense OF
the powers, and probably Of the Bal
kan states also. to the imperative
need of working in amicable co-opera-
ton to procure a settlement of the
Balkan problems acceptable to all the
parties concerned.
Another factor making for the
speedy cessation of the war is the ap-
proach of severe winter conditions,
which would give to the campaign
an exceedingly arduous character.
German Influence Seen.
There still is talk in Vienna Of send
ing an ultimatum to Servia, and other
warlike reports, but II is believed Ged-
many is exercising ameliorating influ-
ence in the persuading of both Austria
and Servia to consent to a postpone
ment of the settlement until the whole
matter can be dealt with by TIE Euro
pean conference. Meanwhile, diplo-
macy is active in all the European
capitals. II is understood that after
his important mission at Buda Pest is
concluded, DIR. Daneff, president Of the
Bulgarian chamber of deputies. will
go to the other European courts to
explain the views of the allies.
