May Retain Mosques.

Thus the bone OF contention Is Adrian
opIe. the last remaining memory of the
might OF the Ottoman in Europe. The
BulSarians are ready TO allow the Turks
to retain IN .Adrianope the famous
mosque OF the Sultan Selinl, the greatest
which Is built on the ruins OF a Roma n
pagan temple and which rivals with It's
2Oo-foot high minarets the glory OF the
mosque of st. Sophia in Con5tantinople.
They are also willing that the Turks
shall keep the Muradleh, which was
built by Murad l.; the mosque OF Murad
". and the Boyard mosque, which are
the main centers in Adranople for Mo-
ha nnedan worship,

anople. There is IN emperlshable senti-
ment which makes them crave for the
holy city. the earliest site conquered by
Murad !. In 1861. This condition prob
ably explains today's sudden yielding to
the allies on other points. Turkey seem
ingly hopes by ceding almost all her ter
ritory TO be allowed to retain the only
point on which she insists, 1t is thought
likely She may also be ready TO cede her
