powers. Mahmoud Shefket Pasha,

London. - The mediate conse.
quences of the decision of the Turkish
grand council to conclude peace with
the Balkan allies will be the cessa-
ton of hostilities between Greece and
Turkey and the surrender of the Turk

scutari In Doubt.
Difficulties may arise concerning the
fate of Scutari, as no one knows to
whom it is to be surrendered, whether
to the Montenegrins, to a provisional
Albanian government or to the repre-
sentatives of the powers.
King Nicholas of Montenegro insists
that he must enter Scutari at the head
of his troops Otherwise, he says, the
reign of his family in Montenegro is
doomed, as he, contrary to the advice
Of the generals, refused to try to take
Scutari by storm at the beginning of
the war, in order to avoid certain
heavy losses which his small army
would have suffered. He preferred the
temporizing policy of laying siege to
the fortress and should Scutari, for
this reason, be lost to the Montene-
grins, he alone, will be considered re-
sponsible.
Members of the Turkish peace dele
cation in London showed signs of de-
preston today, but they are deter
mined that the era of concessions must
now be regarded as closed. They say
they are convinced that the powers
will support them in rejecting the de-
mands of the allies for war indera-

Fears Of War Rumored.
All fears of resumption of the war
having been removed, the allies are
now planning the withdrawal of large
bodies of troops at an early date. The
delegates in London, however, think
that month may pass before the final
signatures are put to the peace treaty
as the settlement of exact frontiers,
the questions of indemnity and the
guarantees in regard to the mosques
and sacred places of Adrianople still
have to be arranged.
Diplomats were in good humor to-
day when Dr. Daneff, the Bulgarian
plenipotentiary, officially announced
that an agreement had been reached
between his country and Rumania.
This, following confirming dispatches
from Constantinople that the porte
would yield to all the demands of the
allies, assured the absolute peace Of
all Europe.
Sir Edward Grey helped along the
good feeling by announcing that he
would reconvene the St. James palace
peace conference Monday.
DR.. Daneff stated that Rumania
would receive strip of territory in
S1listria, on the Observation-Disclosures
frontier, as the price of her neutrality,
and Bulgaria would at once dismantle
her Silesian forts.
st. Petersburg dispatches said Rus
STA would begin the Rehabilitation of
her military reservists and the Black
sea fleet.
Turkey Agrees to Terms.
Constantinople. - Turkey has sub
mitted to the will of the powers.
The grand council of the Ottoman en-.
pire decided in favor of accepting the
proposals OF Europe for peace settle
ment between Turkey and the Balkan
allies.
AS officially announced, the grand
council approved the governments

posed assistance effectively realized"
