SUES FOR PEACE.

The direct negotiations for an ar,
mistice between the Turkish comman
der-ln-Chief and the victorious Bulga-
rians having for the moment failed,
the latter have recommended their
movements against the last Turkish
intrenchments and Notifications Gov
ering the approach to Constantinople.
The assailed position is normally a
very strong one, but it is believed
that the Turkish forces, demoralized
by a succession of defeats and short
of provisions and all sorts Of stores,
will not be able to make a prOtract-
ed resistance. Nevertheless, large
re-enforcements are being rushed
from Asia Minor to the front and
fighting with desperation in the last
ditch, as the Turks are now doing,
there is certain to be some bloody
work and some very heavy losses by
the attacking army before the road
to Constantinople is finally open.
Later-Turkey is now suing for
peace.
