EUROPEAN STATES TO BRING
t% WAR TO CLOSE.
CEDEs ADRlANoPLE FORTRESS
Grand Council at ConstantlnopIe A.
g most Unanimously Agree to Pro-
posais-Russian Pressure Also
Eioures In Final Outcome.

$Constantinople, Jan. 24.-Yielding
to the demands Of the powers, which it
now appears amounted. to nothing less
than an ultimatum, the grand council
Of the Ottoman empire almost unanf
mously decided here Wednesday to
cede the fortress of Adrianople to tho
Balkan allies and toeleave to the pow
ers the question Of the disposal OF the
Aegean islands. This will undoubted-
Sly lead to peace. 5s
The powers note, parts of which
were made public, was composed In
the strongest terms. ,<,. :.
"The government (Turkey),' said
the note, would have only itself to
blame if the prolongation Of the war
had as consequence to put in ques-
\ ton the fate Of the capital and per-
haps to extend hostilities to the Asiatic
provinces of the empire. In that case
the Turkish government could not
count on the success of the efforts OF
s the powers to preserve it from dan.
gers against which they had already
warned 1t and which they once more
warned it to avoid"
Is The powers then reminded the porte
that after the conclusion of peace it
would need the moral and material
support OF the powers to recover from
I the effects of the war. The powers
intimated that Turkey would be un-
4 able even to develop the only territory
/ left to her unless she had the benevo'
lent support OF the powers and it was
plainly stated that Turkey could not
expect much support unless she de-
ferred to the counsel of the powers.
In addition to the joint note OF the
powers the porte received a note from
\ Russia enjoining Turkey to take only
such action as would insure peace. =
