Themselves at the Capital.

London, Jan. 24.-The new Turkish
cabinet has decided to recall the OF
tonan peace delegates from London.
according to a dispatch today from
Constantinople. The Turkish govern
ment is said to have requested it's ann
basSadorS at Vienna and ST Peters,
burg to return to the Turkish capital.
Enver Bey. the most spirited leader
OF the young Turks, was today ap-
pointed chief of the general staff OF
the Turkish army.
AT the headquarters of the peace del
egations the greatest activity and ex-
citement prevailed today. Cipher tele-
grams from Sofia, Belgrade. Athens
and Cettinje, crossed messages from
London to those capitals.
The allies seem disposed to consider
the revolution in Constantinople as an
affront to the European powers more
than to themselves. Therefore. they
thinks the powers are entitled to make
the first move. Whatever 1t may be
and whatever it's result it cannot pre-
judice their future action, they de-
clare.
The delegates consider the resun1p-
ton of the war in the course of next
week is almost inevitable. even IL the
powers should agree on active interven-
ton.

nent part in the overthrow of KiamiI'
Pasha's cabinet. is the popular hero
OF OF u tne day. Nazim Pasha's death by a

Balkan League Is Divided.
London, Jan. 24.-Complete revul-
sion of feeling in Constantinople
against the proposed surrender to the
allies has created the impression
among the peace delegates that the
Balkan war will begin again almost
There are, however, two
of opinion among the repre-
of the Balkan league.
One of these is in favor of asking
Sir Edward Grey as honorary presi-
lent of the peace conference to con-
7oke a session of the delegates at
Which the rQSIIrf7 Dfin0 nf Ia0cfflft;og
would be declared. The other urges
hat the powers should first be allow
I'd to deal with Turkey. The Euro
bean governments are already in com
nunication with regard TO the situa-
ion. The view here is that the reply
'f Turkey to the note of the powers
must be awaited before any drastic ac-
ion can be inaugurated.
