London, Nov. 16.-The announce

Kilios is only three miles to the
west of Cape Rumeli, at the Black sea
entrance to the Bosphorus.
If strong Bulgarian force is al
ready at Kilios on the flank of the
Turkish army the fate of the Ottoman
troops cannot, in military opinion. re

For the moment the action of Tur-
key in applying directly to King Ferd-
inand of Bulgaria for sn armistice has
superseded the proffers of the powers
to mediate.
That an early peace Is assured is
accepted as foregone conclusion, but
whether it will be brought about be-
fore or after the surrender of Con-
stantinople is probably known only to
King Ferdinand of Bulgaria and his
advisers.
Montenegro Stands Pat.
The differences between Austria
Hungary and Servia evidently are in
q fair way toward settlement, but
Montenegro, which jumped into the
war ahead of its allies, seems loath
to relinquish any of the spoils gained
In the fighting. The peremptory re-
lection of King Nicholas of Montene-
gro of Austrian and Italian interven-
ton Is causing some concern to the
European powers, who are anxious
for an immediate cessation of hostiJ-
tiles, and now comes further report
that King Nicholas has informed the
Bulgarian government that he will not
agree to an armistice until the Turk
lsh troops evacuate the fortress OF
Ecutari.
The ministers of the European pow
ers communicated to the Greek gov
ernment at Athens the porte's request
for mediation. The Greek foreign
minister expressed his thanks and
gave the same reply as his Bulgarian
colleague had done, namely, that a
final response would be forthcoming
after an agreement had been reached
by the Balkan allies.
