UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
LONDON, Jan. 14.-While the Bal-
kan peace delegates are remaining
IN London in DIFFERENCE to the express
ed request Of Sir Edward Grey, sec
retary Of state for foreign affairs,
every Balkan state today Is making
active preparations to resume the war
asainst Turkey, according to q state
ment by NJ. Veizelos, premier OF
Greece, and chief plenipotentiary from
that nation to the London conference.
Il have no hope that the Turkish
grand council will declare for peace, :"
II Velzelos said, and IL the council
decides on war, Of course tie peace
negotiations here will not be resumed
1T is very apparent to us that Tur-
key, while procrastinating, is making
preparations to renew the fighting
and we shall simply beat her to 1t.
Nothing probably will be done by
us today, but by tomorrow, II the
Turks have made no overtures for the
reopening of the peace conference,
the Balkan delegates undoubtedly will
withdraw from London and the four
states will serve notice on the prote
that war win be resumed within four
days This action will be taken re-
gardless Of the note that the great
powers have prepared to present to
Turkey.
In the event that wsr Is resumed,
the bulk Of the Greek army would I'M
mediately be transferred from the
siege of Janina to the Chatalja lines,
where now the Bulgarians are en-
canlped alone
Our first move, OF course, would
be directed against Adrianople.'
Dr. Daneff and M. yeizelos, ac.
companied by all Of the Bulgarian and
Greek envoys, today were in confer.
ence with ST. Edward Grey at the
foreign office. 1t was said that as
soon as they finished, the converse
tion of the great powers ambassadors
would be resumed.
Meantime the Turkish ENJOYS
Rechid Pasha, Osman Miami Pasha
and Tewfik Pasha, were still in Lon
con, awaiting advices from Constan
tiIople, where the decision OF The
grand council still was unknown. The
Ottoman delegation had nothing Il
say but it was believed they were
confident that war would be resumed
POSSIBLY within the week.
In diplomatic circles, the outlool
was admittedly dark. 1t was conced
ed as probable that the Turkish Crane
council would declare for war as tn,
young Turk and military faction
were in the ascendance and the gran,
sizler, kiamil Pasha, could not wei
oppose them without sacrificing hi
ministry and perhaps himself.
With Turkey and the Balkan allie
openly preparing for further fightini
ahd the great powers hesitating an,
ainering among themselves, 1t was ad
lnl'ted that peace seemed long wa
On, None OF the belligerents was dis
POSED to take the initiative in resun
ing the peace negotiations, yet al
we're ioathe to assume the respor
s,piiity OF renewing the war, becaus
me powers have made 1t plain tha
'hey are opposed to further fighting.
IN the face Of this, the ambasss
aors at Constantinople have held u
