London, Jan. 9.-OfTicial news re-
ceived by the Bulgarian delegation
describes the situation ut Adrianople
as desperate. Several soldiers who
deserted and succeeded in reaching
the headquarters of the allies, say
the town is in it's last grasp. Pro-
visions are so scarce that the military
! authorities have requistioned all the
| food possessed even by private indi-
Vlduals and are making only one dis
tribution, comprising a half ration
daily.
Conditions have been rendered
more grave by the number Of sick who
crowd the hospitals, where the at
tention is inadequate. Thus the death
rate is very high. The Bulgarians
have allowed medicine and Red Cross
workers to enter under the escort of
Bulgarian detachment
The commander OF the fortress has
declared 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 even independently of any ac-
ton the powers may take, the ques-
ton Of Adrianople soon will be
solved.
1t is understood Constantinople has
accepted the views of Rechad Pasha,
who recently asked to be authorized
to reconvene the conference, he being
here for the next sitting The difficulty
now lies in the determination Of the
allies not TO participate unless they
are notified in advance what Turkey
intends to propose.
They don't wish 10 revive the dis
cussion of unacceptable terms but de-
sire to have it as certainty that Tur-
Key is ready to cede what has been
pronounced as the irreducible mini
mum of the allies-Andrianople after
which ii will be possible to discuss

that town in the hands of the allies
In other words, the allies do not wish
to play into Turkeys hands by re-
entering the conference room without
definite programme which may lead
TO definite conclusion of peace at this
time. Before the meeting the Turks
and allies must have unotfcially

The possibility of the absorption Of
the Atlantic Coast Line Railway sys-
tenn, by the Pennsylvania Railroad
company, is suggested by an inhu-
ential Philadelphia banker, accord
ing to story in the Philadelphia
North American. 1t is pointed out
that the new president of the big
transportation company in the course
or rearrangement, and in view of the
recent decision Of the United States
supreme Court, divorcing the Union
Pacific and the Southern Pacific. will
seek to expand the Pennsylvania by
acquiring the Atlantic Coast Line
properties, which include 1884 miles
of line
The story as told by the North
American is as follows:
That the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will have spread it's do
minion over the whole South before
the current year was the view ex-
pressed confidentally today by an in
Huential banker, whose associations
open to him many avenues to early
inside information. His belief is that
the Atlantic Coast Line system of
1884 miles will be annexed to that
of the Pennsylvania, which now COM
prises 11,407 miles Of line
Certain recent developments seem
to indicate that some gigantic re-
arrangement of the transportation
system Of the United States is planned
by Samuel Rea who has just become
head of the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad
system, pledged to inaugurate and
carry forward aggressively a policy
Of construction and expansion. 1t
became known today that Mr.. Rea, on
December y, resigned as a director
Of the No,folk and Western Railway
Company.
While it is stated that this retire
mont Of the president of the Pcnnsyl-
