London. Jan. 9.-Official news re-

here describes the situation at Adrl-

iers who deserted and succeeded in
reaching the headquarters fthe al
lies say that the town is IN It's last
gasp. Provisions are so scarce tnat
the military authorities have requisl-
toned all the food possessed-even by
priyate individuals and are making
only one distribution comprising a
half-ration daily. The conditions
have been rendered graver by the
great number of sick who overflow
the hospitals where the attendance is
INADEQUATE Thus the death rate Is
very high. The Bulgarlans have al
lowed medicines and Red Cross WORK
ers to enter under the escort oil Eul
garian detachment.
The commander of the fortress has
declared that he would rather see all
die of starvation than surrender the
town; that is why all who can are en-
deavoring to escape. The Bulgarians
believe that even Independently Of
any action, the powers may take, the
question OF Adrianop.e will soon be
solved.
1t is understood that Constants
nople has accepted the views OF Re
chad Pasha, who recently asked to be
authorized to reconvoke the confer
ence. he being president for the next
sitting. The dlflculty now lies in the
determination of the allies not to par
ticipate in the conference unless they
are notified beforehand what Turkey
intends to propose. They do not wish
to revive the discussion of unaccept
able terms, but desire to have 1t as
certainty that Turkey is ready to
cede what has been pronounced as
the irreducible minimum OF the allles
-Adrianople-afte which it will be
possible to discuss the frontier line
which must leave that town in The
hands of the allies.
In other words, the allies do moi
wish to play into Turkey S hands by
