INSISTS ON INDEMNITY CLAUSE
Demands That Frontiers Proposed

soma, Bulgaria, April Prospects
for peace in the Balkans looked very
bright today Although the allies in
, ilfieir reply to the mediation sugges
tlons OF the powers. demanded nu.
fherons and radAal changes the
powers replied with concessions de-
signed to bring a prompt cessation
Of hostilities.
In q note presented to the Bulga-
rian government today the powers
proposed that the Thracian frontier
should be formed by line drawn
ircm Aidia on the Black sea, to
Enos on the Aegean sea. This would
give Bulgaria both banks OF the Riy-
er Martha, in accordance with her
demands.
L is also suggested that all finan
cial questions, such as the indemni.
~ should be left to the decision oi
a technical commission to meet in
Paris.
Balkan Allies Reply.
The Balkan allies today submitted
to the powers their formal reply to
the suggested basis for negotiations
with Turkey. The reply purports TO
be an acceptance of the mediation
conditions. but the acceptance is
.suhpeet TO reservations which prac
tieally repudiated the peact terms.
The propositions OF the powers
were:
/. The frontier of Turkey shal
start at Enos and end at Media. Al
territories west of this line shall go
to the allied states with the excep
ton Of Albania, the elimination OF
which shall be fixed by the powers
?. The question OF the Aegean Is
lands shall be settled by the powers
9. Turkey shall abandon all claims
to Crete.
A. The powers cannot fayorably
entertain the demand for indemnity
). AS soon as these bases are .ae-
cepted hostilities shall cease.
Balkan Allies Plan,
The reply Of the Balkan allies
contains the following counter pro
positions:
l. In the definite determination OF
the frontier of the province Of
Thrace the line indicated in the con
ditions formulated by the powers.
shall be taken as basis and not as
definite hne.
2. The Islands in the Aegean sea
shall go to the Balkan allies
3. The allies consider they should
know before hand the frontiers pro
posed for the future state Of Alba
MIA, trusting they win be in confor-
nifty with those proposed in Lon
don. Fih%
a. The allies demand for a war in
demnity must be accepted in prinei
pie. the task of fixing the amount be
ing left to a commission which is
to study financial questions aud on
which the Balkan allies will be rep
resented.
D. The allies agree that the opera
tions Of war shall cease as soon a
the above conditions have been
vorably received.
