london. Jan 6-The general stua-
,ion has ameliorated and the danger Of
,upture of the peace negotiations to-
s.v seems 10 be averted through Tur-
80 making fresh concessions which
.,,, enable the allies TO enjoy holi-
iaov during the festivities in connection
18th the orthodox Christmas.
pechad Pacha has become sphinxlike
=, mystery and impenetrability, but
,rom authoritative sources 1t Is stated
.,st the powers, through their ambas-
,sdors here and in Constantinople,
have succeeded in mixing much water
nth both the allies and Turkeys wine.
ctrong pressure in favor Of moderation
has been exercised in Constantinople,
while the Balkan representatives have
been urged to he patient before break
ing off the negotiations, especially as
thew can lose nothing by waiting, their
nosltion being better than that of Tur-
key
The efforts of the powers appear to be
successful on both sides. Thus, unless
some sudden change occurs at the last
moment, Rechad Pacha will to-day
present new terms, which will comprise
another rectihcation of the Thracian
frontier. bringing it further east than
proyided for in the terms presented on
Friday-perhaps to Dedeagatch, but not
yet including Adrianople, and possibly
the cession of Turkeys rights in Crete
directly TO the allies.
Further Period of Grace.
After representations had been made
10 them. Or. Daneff, Premier Veni-
xelos. NJ. Novakovich and NJ. Miyusko
witch met yesterday Sunday and de-
cided to give Turkey further period Of
grace considering the new terms as
Turkey to reach satisfactory solution.
They propose to submit the new terms
10 their governments for study and
await further instructions, and will
suggest an adjournment Of the con-
ference probably until Friday, the third
day after their Christmas, at the same
time emphasizing the absolute neces-
sity Of Turkey meeting the terms Of the
allies. particularly with respect to Adri-
anople.
In the mean time many things may
happen. OF first importance among
these the fall OF Adrianople would i'm
pei Turkey TO accept the inevitable.
The powers continue TO exercise press
We at Constantinople, aiming 10 de-
monstrate TO the Porte that resistance
would lead only to graver losses.
The impression is that Turkey will
end by ceding Adrianople, and that
this will be done without any serious
results. such as are always predicted
by Turkish sympathizers or threatened
by Constantinople. whenever Turkey Is
engaged in a conflict with a Christian
state. Whenever Turkey is about 10
suffer territorial amputation the spec
tire of Musgulman fanaticism Is raised
and assistance is sought from Great
Britain and France, which have in
their dominions millions OF Mussul-
mans, who are pictured as being ready
to rise in sympathy.
MussuInans Not Aroused.
The Turkish Empire, however, has
been gradually dismembered without
any awakening Of the Mussulman
dragon. either at home or abroad, and
this is interpreted by experts in Turk
ish affairs to mean that the Mussul-
mans themselves are convinced thar
they fare better under Occidental rule.
Advancement has been made by Rus
STA and France in their efforts TO in
duce Italy to use her good offices IN
Vienna with the object Of turning over
Scutari to Montenegro, instead OF In
GLIDING that town in Albania. IT is
believed that Italy, as the ally Of Aus
tria and also because Of relationship
between the Savoy and Montenegro
royal families, may succeed in accom-
piishing this, while IL the same propo-
sition were urged by the administra-
lions at Paris and st. Petersburg IT
might assume the character Of the
Triple Entente opposing the Triple Al
lance.
