PEACE NEGOTIATIONS BROKEN OFF At LAST
Balkan Allies Present Note to Turkish
Delegation, and Resumption OF
War Now Likely.

London.-The peace negotlauohs'
which reached a deadlock over the
cession of Adrianople on January o.
were finally broken Wednesday by
note which the plenipotentlarles OF
the Balkan allies presented to Rechad
Pasha, head of the Turkish delegation
Notwithstanding this rupture, there
still are optimists in the dlplomatic
world who hope resumption OF the
war may yet be averted, either
through fresh proposals that Turkey
is reported to be including in the note
she will deliver to the powers, or
through the fall of Adrianople before
activities can be begun again at the
Tchatalja lines.
A majority of the Balkan delegates
! refuse to admit the likelihood o
either contingency, believing that th'
life of the young Turk government
, depends upon the resumption OF war
, even though the allies were wlllln'
: to postpone the conflict. They ar
e of the opinion that the present fai
J. ure of diplomacy is, at the worst, onl
Q an interlude, however, for they WI
e leave four representatives in Londo
O to undertake the settlement anew.
Rechad Pasha, after receiving tn
e note. said:
n "The consequences may be OF tn
E. gravest nature. The responsioill'
lies not alone with the allies, b.
s. with the powers who encouraged tt
h Balkan states and have shown no tal
Il ness toward Turkey, although oefo

o, the principle of the unchangeaoll

brought by plaintiff, to recover the
value of "sinkers' fished out OF the
river and claimed by plaintiff to bear
