SHORTEST HOT WAR
KNOWN In HISTORY

Vienna.-Turkey's admission of de-
feat was accepted here as practically
marking the conclusion OF the shortest
and at the same time one OF the fierc-
est wars in history.
The declarations OF hostilities issued
by the five nations involved were scat.
tered over period OF sevral days, but
tostilIties may fairly be said to have
corameac5T during me first week In
october, when skirmishing began prac.
tioally all along the northern Turkish
frontier.
Less than six weeks have elapsed
and the sultan has sued for peace.
Military experts throughout Europe
were confident at the outset that the
Turks would be easily victorious. In.
:tead. they have not won an important
engagement The advance OF the al.
hes into Turkish territory has been
practically uninterrupted.
Figures concerning the number OF
FILLED and injured have been very
meager and the estimates probably
inaccurate. but II Is considered here
safe TO say that the total is well above
100000.
