LONDON Jan. 5.-The danger of a
rupture tomorrow of peace negotia-
tions seems to have bees averted by
the probability that Turkey will make
fresh concessions which will allow the
allies to enjoy a holiday during the
festivities in connection with the
Christmas celebration Of the orthodox
church
From authoritative sources it is
stated that the powers. through their
ambassadors here and in constanti-
nople, have exerted strong pressure in
ConstanHnople in favor of moderation.
while the Balkan representatives have
been urged to be patient before break
ing on negotiations. especially as they
can lose nothing by waiting. their po-
sition being stronger than that of Tur-
key.
EFFoRrs OF POWERS SUCCEED
The efforts of the powers appear to
have been successful on both sides
Thus, unless some sudden change
develops at the last moment. Reschid
Pasha will present, Monday. new terms.
which will comprise another rectifca-
tion of the Thracean frontier. bringing
q it farther east perhaps to Dedeag agalch,
but not yet including Adrianople. and
possibly the cession of Turkeys rights
in Crete, directly to the allies
After representations had been made
to them. Doctor Danen. Premier veni-
zelos. NJ Novakovitch and NJ Miyus-
kovitch met today and decided to give
Turkey a further period of grace. TAX
ing the ground that the submission of
the new terms will be proof of dispo-
sition on the part of Turkey to reach
satisfactory solution.
MUST CEDE ADRIANOPLE
They propose to submit the new
terms to their governments for study
and await further instructions. and will
suggest an adjournment of the confer
ence probably until Friday. the third
day after their Christmas, at the same
time emphasizing the absolute neces-I
sity Of Turkey meeting the terms of
the allies. particularly with respect to
Adrianople
The powers continue to exercise pres
sure in constantinople. aiming to dem
onstrate to the porte that resistance
only would lead to graver losses.
The impression is that Turkey viii
end by ceding Adrianople. and that this
VIII be done without any serious re-
suits, such as are predicted by Turkish
sympathizers, or threatened by Con-
stantinople
Whenever Turkey is about to suffer
territorial amputation the specter of
Muesulnlan fanaticisn is raised and as
sistance is sought from Great Britain
and France. which have in their do
minions millions of Mussulmans. who
are pictured as being ready TO rise in
sympathy.
NO RIsINGS EVER COME
The Turkish empire. however, gradu-
ally has been dismemBered without the
Mussulman dragon ever awakening
either at home or abroad, and experts
in Turkish affairs interpret this to
mean that the Mussulmans themselves
are convinced that they fare better un-
der their present rulers.
Advancement has been made by Rus
sia and France IN their efforts, to induce
Italy to use its good offices in Vienna,
with the object of turning over Scutari
to Montenegro instead of including that
town in Albania. It is believed that
italy. as the ally of Austria, and also
because of the relationship between the
Savoy and Montenegrin royal families,
may succeed in accomplishing this.
while if the same proposition We're
urged by the administrations in Paris
and st. Petersburg ii might assume the
character Of the triple entente opposing
the triple alliance.
