London, Jan. 5,--Danger of a rupture
tomorrow of peace negotiations seems
to have been averted by the probability
that Turkey will make fresh conces-
sionS which will give the allies holi-
day during the festivities in connection
with the Christmas celebration Of the
Greek Catholic church.
From authoritative sources it is said
the powers, through their ambassadors
here and at ConStantinOple, have eN-
erted strong pressure at Constantinople
for moderation, while the Balkans rep
resentatives have been urged to be
patient before breaking off negotia-
tions, especially as they can lose Moth
ing by waiting, their position being
stronger than that Of Turkey.
The efforts of the powers appear
to have been successful on both sides,
thus, unless some sudden change de-
velops at the last moment, Rachad
Pasha will present on Monday new
terms which will comprise another
rectification of the Thracian frontier,
bringing it farther east, perhaps to
Dedeagatch, but not including Adrian
ople, and probably the cession Of Tur~
keys rights in Crete directly to the
allies.
More Grace.
Directly after representations had
Premier Venizelos, M. Novakovitch
and M. Miyuskovitch met today and
decided to give Turkey further
period of grace, taking the ground
that the submission of new terms will

of Turkey to reach a satisfactory So
luton. They propose to submit the
new terms to their governments for
study and will suggest an adjourn
ment of the conference, probably Fri
day, the third day after their Christ
mas, at the same time emphasizing
the absolute necessity of Turkeys
meeting the terms of the allies, par
ticularly with respect to Adrianople
The powers continue to exercise
pressure at Constantinople, aiming to
demonstrate to the porte that resist
ance only wouldalead to graver losses
May cede AdrianopIe.
The impression is that Turkey will
end by cedng Adrianople and that
this will be done without serious re-
suits, such as are predicted by Tur-
keys sympathizers, or threatened by
Constantinople Whenever Turkey is
about to suffer territorial amputation,
the spectre of Mussulman fanaticism
is raised and assistance is sought
from Great Britain and France which
have in their dominions millions of
Mussulmans, pictured as ready to rise
in sympathy.
The Turkish empire, however, grad
TALLY has been dismembered without
the Mussulman dragon ever awaken
ing, either at home or abroad, and eX-
perts in Turkish affairs interpret this
to mean that the Mussulmans them
selves are CONVINCED that they fare
better under their present rulers.
Advancement has been made by
Russia and France in their efforts to
induce Italy to use her good offices
at Vienna with the object of turning
Scutari over to Montenegro instead of
including that town in Albania. 1t is
believed that Italy, as the ally of
Austria, and also because of relation
ship between the Savoy and Monte
negrin royal families, may succeed in
accomplishing this, while if the same
proposal We're urged by the admins
trations at Paris and st. Petersburg
it might assume the character of the
triple entente opposing the triple al
lance.
