SEACOAST FOR SERVANS
Is the Pretense for Austria To Take an
Ugly Attitude Toward the
Balkan Alliance

London. England, Nov. 6.-The Brit
ish attitude in the Balkan situation
was explained yesterday in the house
/ of commons by Sir Edward Grey, the
foreign secretary, who was loudly
cheered when, in reply to a question
he said:
mo one, in view of the result Of the
war up to date, would be disposed to
dispute the rights of the Balkan states
to formulate the terms on which they
are prepared to conclude peace.
As to the future of the Balkans, a
| very sharp line divides Germany. Aus
tria- Hungary and Italy from France
Russia and Great Britain. France and
| Russie argue that the allies should
have the territory which they have
conquered and Russia has practically
warned Turkey that conditions could
only become worse should further dis
aster occur at Tchalja. Austria
Hungary. which, after all. is the most
directly interested of the great powers,
being the nearest neighbor to the Bal
kan states, will, il is believed, not sit
quietly by and see the Balkan League
establish itself across her patch to the
Aegean sea, in which direction her
trade is expanding, while at the same
time the Servians spread to the Adriat-
ic sea. The Austrian government
points out that the Albanians are as
much a nation as any of the allies and
that Albania should be reserved for
the Albanians.
Instead of the twenty mile stretch of
the Adriatic coast heretofore claimed
by Servians, Servia now wants sixty
miles, and in return Montenegro is to
get more than her allotted third share
of the district of Novi Bazaar.
The Bulgarian troops in the vicinity
of Tchorlu are preparing to resume
their advance on Tchatalja After four
nights and four days of continuous
! lighting around Luleh Bargas, the Bull
garian soldiers were given two days
rest. This period expired today and
the troops by this time probably are
again on the move.
| The Bulgarian army near Tchorlu is
being reinforced with troops taken
from the investing forces around Ad-
rianople, whose places in turn have
been taken by the Servians.
| A second Bulgarian army, command
ed by General Kutintcheff, is marching
along the coast of the sea of Marmora
to effect a junction with the Bulgarian
army commanded by General Dimit-
rieff at Tchalaja.
| To get on the move so quickly, the
Bulgarian troops must have worked
Ihard, as they have thousands of
wounded Turks and Bulgarians to care
for and have had to burn or bury a
large number of killed. 1t is officially
stated ma dispatch from Belgrade that
the Servians, having annihilated the
Turkish army in Macedonia, have been
ordered to assist the Bulga rians
IGreeks and Montenegrins. large
force Of Servians has already passed
through Sofia on the way to Adrian
Iople, the bombardment of which con-
ltinued without abatement.
Thousands of Turks at Tchalatja
ldropped out of the ranks exhausted
from want of food. Most of these
lthey away their rifles. They have had
1.-TWO days in which to rally and reform
while the Bulgarian advance will be
slower than heretofore, as the roads
are in terrible condition from the
heavy rains and this will cause diff
ficulty in bringing up artillery
| A combined attack on Saloniki by
IGreeks, Servians and Bulgarians is ex-
ipected shortly.
1t is said that the Turks will prob
lably ask the powers each to send an
other warship to Constantinople
