be resumed at the expiration of four
days according to a formal notice
served on the Porte. The Turkish
foreign minister thereupon notified
the Balkan representatives that the
armistice will terminate at seven to-
night. He said the Turks would re-
spect the Baghtche agreement not TO
start fighting until four days had
elapsed.
Paris Jan. 30-Two French cruis-
ers have been ordered to CONSTANT
nople to reinforce the French cruis-
ers already there.
London, Jan. 3O-"If Turkey per-
sists in a refusal of our just demands
for a cession of territory our swords
have conquered, also Adrianople, and
the Aegean islands, she may find her
European frontier not at Rodosto or
Midia, but at the Bosphorus and the
Dardanelles This was the declara-
ton of a diplomat of the prominent
councils of the Balkan allies when
asked what effect the Turkish refus-
al to yield more than half of Adria-
nople to the foe would be.
He continued: The allies won prac-
tically all Turkey in Europe. Adria-
nople must fall within few days be-
fore our combined assault. If the war
really opens there can hardly be
doubt in the mind of an impartial OBJ
server that the tottering Turkish en-
pire in Europe must finally be extin-
guished."
Regarding Turkeys reply in ceding
portion of Adrianople and other
concessions DR.. Daneff said: Peace
negotiations cannot be resumed on the
basis of the Porte's reply. They can
not be resumed until Turkey agrees
to cede the whole of Adrianople and
talso agrees as a basis of bargaining
that the new European frontier of
Turkey will be line running from
Midia on the Black Sea to Rodosto.
The present demands of the allies will
not be renewed. After the first shot
is fired if war is resumed our de-
mands will be larger than ever"
Confirmation that fighting is in pro-
gres among the Turks at Tchatalja
was obtained in dispatches from Con-
stantza. They say many officers and
men were killed and two hundred
wounded
Commenting on Turkeys reply Pre-
mier Venizelos of Greece said: My
information is that the Porte propos-
es TO leave to the powers the dispo-
sition OF the Aegean islands, except
those nearest the Turkish coast which
they refuse to cede. If correct. this
! is unsatisfactory. Greece fought
hard for the Aegean islands and we
are pledged to get them"
Constantinople. Jan. 3O-Turkey's
reply to the powers was handed the
ambassadors here. 1t proposes to give
the allies half of Adrianople. retain
ing the holy city section where Mos
lem shrines are located. 1t declines
to surrender the Aegean islands or
seaports and proposes the status of
government of these islands be left
to the powers The note suggests
that the distribution of twenty-three
thousand square miles of conquered
territory in European Turkey be left
to the powers.
Turkeys reply was dictated by En-
lver Bey's assistant and was delivered
to the Austrian ambassador by vi
zier Shefket Pasha. 1t is believed
lin diplomatic circles the offer of the
Porte To surrender all of Adrianoule
except the shrines will be the final
basis for peace. 1t is expected Tur-
key will finally agree to surrender the
,Dardanelles.
Vienna, Jan. 30.-Dispatches from
