BALKANS DEFER THEIR RE SUMPTION OF WAR BUT A
 SHORT WHILE LONGER
STAND PAT ON ALL QUESTIONS
With the Fight Won They Will Re- fuse to Agree to Peace Until Their Guarantee of Balkans For
 the Balkan People"

London, Jan. 15.-The Balkan king iionis have not weakened in their determination to reopen the war un- less Turkey accepts their terms quickly. In defeTence to the powers they may withhold the execution of their resolve a few days longer than seemed likely yesterday.
 They wish the world to know that their policy is unchanged. AS allies they inaugurated the doctorine of the Balkans for the Balkan peo- ples,' at time when it appeared all most presumptuous folly to the great nations of Europe and they declare now that they propose to maintain the right, which their united armies won, to be considered great inde- pendent nation and manage their own diplomacy according to their own views of what their national interests demand.
 They assert that their diplomatic course Is a straightforward and frank one. and while willing to eoneede a brief period of delay for Turkeys answer, it sis not with view of re- sumlng negotiations on any modified basis.
 When, on December 27, they pre- scented their terms, the Turks thought the allies were bluffing, and in turn presented on December 2S counter proposals which failed to take into account the war and re-establish the situation as 1t was before hostilities. These counter proposals the allies re- jected as unacceptable and undis- cussable."
 since then the Balkan states have not changed their terms one iota, while the Turks have receded all along the line except on the ques- tions of Adrianople and the Aegean Islands.
 The allies have adopted an atti- tude of stern firmness to convince Turkey that no alternative is possi- ble for the conclusion of peace, but the acceptance of their original con- ditions, but in so doing they have not wished to hurt the susceptibilities of the powers or alienate their sym pathies They give it as a reason for their decision to await patiently the result of the note of the powers to Constantinople which may take any of the three following forms:
 First. Turkey refusing flatly to fol low the advice of Europe.
 Second, Turkey giving an inconclu sive answer with the object of further Ongtnpnino a daCictpu
 Third, Turkey asking for a continu ation of the peace negotiations here on a new proposal which might pro vide for the preservation of Adria nople, but the dismantling of it's forti iications and a pledge under guar antee of the powers not to attempt any work in the future on the fortifi cations of the town.
 Should Turkey refuse to follow tht advice of the powers or give an eva siye answer, the allies will carry ou their plan already announced ant ask for the convocation of the con ference, at which they will officially break off negotiations.
