TURKS AND ALLIES
LIKELY TO FIGHT
ON NEXT SUNDAY
Outlook for Peace Is Dark and
Four Days Notice Must Be
Given by Nations. = .sz =.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-If the war map"
as II is seen in London does not shift,
Turkey and the Balkan allies will be
fighting again on the Chatalja lines
about Sunday. The protocol signed at
Baghtche provided that four days no.
tice must be given by either side desir-
ing TO terminate the armistice. Should
the allies decide formally to declare the
Balkan war renewed. the time limit
would not expire until Saturday night.
Peace Outlook Dark.
From all that was known here to-
day the outlook for peace was dark.
The peace ENJOYS of the Balkan states
had not receded from their declaration,
made yesterday, that they would advise
their governments formally to declare
the war against Turkey resumed simul-
ta1eously with the presentation by the
ambassadors at Constantinople of the
great powers note TO the porte.
Turks and Balkan plenipotentiaries
had not quit London. but 1t was known
that they had their luggage in readi-
ness TO catch the first transcontinental
train and boats on expected telegra phic
advices from their ministries.
Ambassadors In Session. .. ..
The ambassadors met with Secretary
Edward Grey. of foreign office, but
they were without Instructions TO take
decisive steps.
The ambassadors at Constantinople
were holding up their note to make GER
tain changes, and the Turkish grand
council called by Kiamil Pasha, grand
Vizier, was In a beyance until the pow
ers note was delixered to the porte.
Ii was learned from a semi-official
source close to the foreign office that
Il kA T,lA a
to the proposal Of the great powers that
the fortified city Of Scutari be included
In autonomous Albania.
Bulgarians To Confer.
Official dispatches confirmed the report
that Car Ferdinand of Bulgaria, with
his entire cabinet, is on the way from
Sofia TO Nustapha Pasha, where he VIII
consult with General Savoff, comman-
der-fn-ch,ef of the Bulgarian army.
The Car and his ministers will inspect
the troops along the Chatalja lines.
This was taken by the pessimists 10
mean that the allies were in earnest IN
their declarations that war would oe
resumed when the powers note was
presented TO the porte.
coNsTANTNoPLE. Jan. l5.-The
grand council OF the empire, called by
klanil Pasha, grand v!Zier. TO pass on
the question of making peace or con-
tinuing the war with the Balkan states
was postponed today. TO await the pre-
sentation to the porte OF tn enote pre-
pared by the great powers.
The council was called for yesterday,
but was postponed until today TO give
the ambassadors of the powers time to
complete their representations. Today
the ambassadors not yet were ready to
present the note and the ministry de-
cided to further postpone the grand
council.
II is believed to be practically FORE
gone conclusion that the council will
decide for war because the young Turks
will control IL, and II was believed TO
be certain that K.amil Pasha and the
entire cabinet will resign.
