including the disposition of Salonika
and Albania, must be met reasonably
by the Ottoman delegates"
The Greek plenipotentiaries headed
by Premier Vanizelos, in reply to the
protests Of the Turks, said that the
signing of the armistice agreement
by Greece was wholly immaterial, as
the Balkan alliance was intact and
Greece would have to abide by the
peace terms arranged by the other
Balkan states
The hitch in the negotiations APP
peared to be SO grave that delegates
were discussing the question of a
mediator. In speaking of foreign
mediation, the United States was pro-
posed and Stojan .Novakovitch, head of
the Servians, said:
The choice Of the United States as
mediator would be an excellent one.
But the one difficulty is that the Unit
ed States being SO far away, might be
hampered in its action, iaGking an in
innate knowledge of the complex
problems agltatlng the Balkan states
while an European nation would find
itself In reader condition"
M Noyakovitch seemed to think
that the best man to act as mediator
would be NJ Raymond Poincaire, the
French premier
The Servian pointed out that Turk
key could gain nothing by delay, be-
cause delay would be costly. He said
that Adrianople with 10000 inhabit-
ants and $4,000 soldiers; scutari, with
$4,000 inhabitants and 10000 garrison
and Janina, with about the same num-
her, could not be reprovisioned during
the armistice, while there was not
more than enough ammunition in the
fortified cities to last four weeks.
