Adrianople Real Stumbling Block

The real stumbling block is AdrianopIe
as compromise solution respecting the
Aegean islands Is possible. Some suggest
thar Turkey cede them to the powers
which can decide their fate. 1t is recalled
that such a course has been taken on
other occasions presenting even more Diff
hculties-for instance. In the war of 1866
between Italy and AUSTRIA Austria al
though victorious, was induced TO cede
tho Venetian provinces to France, which
transferred them to Italy
Supports of this plan hint that Turkey
might even cede the islands to the allies
as practically has been done with Albania
on condition that the powers pledge them
selves to claim, as in the case of AL
bania, the right to decide the status of the
Aegean archipelago
The struggle certainly will be bitter
now between the Turks and the allies
The former are threatening to appeal to
the supreme tribunal of Europe: the lat
ter are threatening to resume the war IT
Is expected. however that relief from this
situation may result from the meeting OF
the ambassadors, to whose Judgment
probably both Turkey and the allies will
submit, If they decide Unanimously what
the fate of the islands must be.
The powers are particularly concerned
in this question, because some of the
islands--Samothrace Imbros. Lemnos and
Iendos-are of international Importance.

Solution Possible of
Aegean Problem

iondon January g-The nIenipoten-
tiaries to the peace conference enjoyed a
day of general relaxation. Even the meet
ing of the ambassadors today was purely
academic. as all agreed that yesterday $
adyices by Turkey had changed the sit
nation to such an extent that they must
await corresponding instructions from
their respective governments.
The Turks continue to declare their
concessions have surpassed any logical
eXrectations, but that now they cannot
at any cost cede an inch more.
on the other hand, the allies with
Unanimous voice, maintain that they
would rather end the conference than re-
nounce what they claim Is due them by
right of their victories.
That the diplomatic game is being
play cd on both sides is evident The
Turks emphasize the foremost importance
OF what they have ceded. which In reality
is only what they have lost, and what
independently of the allies not even the
pow ers would allow them to reconquer
Tho allies on the other hand belittle the
Turkish concessions as they desire def
nitely to settle forever their differences
With the Ottoman empire.
