DANGER OF BREAK AVERTED.
TURKEY MA<ES FRESH CONCES-
SIONS AND PEACE NEGOTIA-
TIONS CONTINUE.
Powers Seemed to HIVE Gained
Fighting Spirit of Both Sides
MaS Agree Soon.

hondon, Jan. 5.-The general situa-
tiesn has ameliorated and the danger
os rupture Of the peace negotiations
tomorrow seems to be averted
Turkey making fresh conces-
sions which will enable the allies to
enjoy a holiday during the festivities
in connection with the Orthodox
Christmas,
Rechad Pasha seems to have turn
ed into a sphnyx SO full of mystery
and impenetrability Is he, but from
authoritative sources It is stated that
the powers, through their ambassadors
here and at Constantinople have sue
ceetfed in mixing much water with
both the allies and Turkeys wine.
Str6ng pressure In favor of modera-
tom has been exercised at Constanti-
nople, while the Balkan representa-
tNTes have been urged to be patient
before breaking off the negotiations,
especially as they can lose nothing
by waiting, their position being bet
ter than that of Turkey.
The efforts OF the powers appears
to be successful on both sides. This
unless some sudden change develops
at the last moment, Rechad Pasha
will present Monday new terms, which
will comprise another rectification Of
the Thracian froatier, bringing it fur
ther east than provided for in the
terms presented Friday, perhaps to
Dedeagatch but not yet including
AdrianoPie slnd possibly the cession of
Turkeys right an Crete directly TO the
allies.
After Representations have been
made ito them DIR. Daneff, Premier
Neneselos, NJ. Novakovitch and M.
MiSrssinsvitch met today and decided
Ia give Turkey further period of
grace considering the new terms and

sOlnte necessity OF Turkey meeting
tn terEis of The aGies, particularly
with respect to Adrianople. In the
mesrlitrne many things may happen.
OF first Importance among fhsee, the
fan of 3drianople wfald impal Turkey
To Sooept the inevitable. The powers
coctinuo to exercise pressure at Con-
stsntinqple, aiming to demonstrate to
the porte thai resistance wolld only
lead tn graver loss,S.
The impression is Chat Turkey will
end by eeding Adrian ople and that
This VIII be done without ay seri-
OTIS resrlls, such & ; are always pre-
dicted by Turkish .sympathizk or
Threatened by GonstanfinopIe when
ever Turkey is cngageG in o. conflict
with a Christian State.
Advancement has been mace by
Russia and France in their efforts
to induce Italy to alse her good offices
ut Vienna with the object OF turning
over ScIitari 30 Montenegro initead
of including that town in Albania 1t
Is believed that Italy as the ally OF
Austria and Also because ef relation
ship between the Savoy and Monte
negrin royal families, may succeed
in accomplishing thiss while if the
same propositions were urged by the
administrc lions at Paris and st. Pc
.ersburg. it might assume the char
Acter OF the triple entente opposing
tne triple alliance.
