CONFERENCE TO CONTINUE
N RETURN FOR NEUTRALITY

LONDON. January 6.--At the peace
conference today between the dele
gates of the Balkan states and Turkey.
the Turkish ENJOYS offered to make
further concessions which were CON
sidered by the Balkan penipotentiaries
sufficient to prevent the threatened
rupture of the negotiations.
The Ottoman delegates had been ex-
pected to present definite project dur
ing today's sitting of the conference. sus-
costing that the western frontier OF Tur-
key should follow the course of the rivers
Martha and Tundje, the Turks to retain
the fortress of Adrianople. but to abandon
Kirk * iisSeh.
The allies declared that If this proposal
were put forward they would consider it
sufficient reason for withdrawal of their
threats to break OF negotiations, ana
would continue the discussion in London
in the hope of obtaining further conces-
sions from Turkey. At the same time they
anticipate the early capitulation or the
beleaeuered garrison of Adrianople, and
this is calculated to alter radically the
Ottoman point of view.
Demands of Roumania.
The conversations between DR.. 5. Da-
neff, chief of the Bulgarian peace dele
CATION, and NJ. Jonescu, the Roumanian
minister of the interior, have assumed -
rather serious character. The Roumanian
statesman insists that Roumania must re-
ceive immediate satisfaction by the grant
Of compensation which was promised in
return for her neutrality during the war.
Otherwise, he says. it VIII be Impossible
to control the feeling of the Roumanian
people, who demand fro mtheir govern
ments adequate action.
Dr. 5. Daneff in reply repeated the
vague promises already made by him
to the Roumanian government during
his soiourn at Bucharest before he
came to London. but NJ. Jonescu insisted
on an explicit answer, and DR.. Daneft
thereupon telegraphed to the bulgarian
government at Sofia for definite in
structions on the subject.
The Turkish delegates are very indg-
nant over the attitude of the European
mowers toward the Ottoman empire.
They remark that when the Turks arc
defeated nothing is done to moderate
their enemies pretensions. but when tho
Turks are victorious they are always
prevented by the powers from reaping
the fruits of their efforts.
Cite War of 1897.
They cite the war of 1897, i'm which
Greece was utterly defeated by Turkey
at Domkes and the Greek army was
compelled TO withdraw on Thermopylae
and to conclude an armistice. Five DAYS
later however, collective note was
sent by the European powers to the
porte. i'm which the conditions of peace
were practically drafted and the am
nexation of Thessaly was prevented, al.
though it had been occupied by the
Turkish troops.
The payment by Greece of a war i'm.
also was stopped by the powers.
Thus Turkey gained nothing by her VIC
ories i'm that war, but now that Turkey
,as been defeated by the combined
armies of Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro
md Servia, the allies are encouraged by
he powers TO demand even that which
hey have never conquered.
Another report was current today that
Turkey had arranged loan. London
nanciers. however. discredited the ru-
nor and said the situation is the same
s in December, when Turkey made ten
alive proposals for the borrowing of q
arge amount of money, but was told
hat 81 e must first conclude peace. II 10
bought that today's report was spresl
or political purposes. .
