TURKEY MUST MAKE

LONDON. Nov. 3.--The Turkish army
is in full retreat on Consiantinople and
the Turkish government has asked the
powers to intervene.
An official bulletin was issued b. tho
government at Ccnstantlnople tonight ad-
mlttinC defeat at the hands Of the Bul-
garians in the great battle on the Thra =
clan plains.
Application was made to the embassy
IN ConstantInoplc tonight for mediation
bv the powers to end the hosuhtlcS and
arrange a peace agreement.
The ambassadors, prior TO this, had
asked the porte TO grant permission 10
each OF the great powers to send war
ship through the Dardanelles, and this
has not been compiled with. The only
guaranty of safety for the native Chris
tians. and perhaps foreigners. in Con-
stantinopc is to be found In the defense
