Ottoman iNation Faces Lash of Nearly | A great tidal wave is reported ip ‘Notes of Interest to Church People of
All Ewropean Empire .as Cost of
War.
The fighting has cease for the mo
@ment between the Turkish and oul
gananu armies struggling for ihe (Gs
session of the Key Lo the suies of
Coustantinepie, and the cpposing cow-
mander-in-chiels are engaged in uego- |
tiating terms of an armistice.
If these pegotiations prove success
ful they will be preparawiwury iv a weet
ing of pienipotentiaries whe will dis-
cuss conditions of peace.
In accordance with the suggestion
contained in the Bulgarian note that
the allied Balkan nations are prepared
#0 meet the Turkish commander-in-
chief with a view 10 asranging an ar-
mis.ice, the Ottoman government has
appoiuied Nazim Pasha to confer with
General Savoff, the Bulgarian leader.
The Turkish general, who bas been
putting up such an excellent deiense
of the ramparts of the capital, now
has thrown on him the addiuopal bur
den of deciding whether or not a far-
ther display of tenacity behind the
fortifications of Tchatalja may bring
<asier terms and save to the Ottoman
empire more thap Coustantnople and
a strip of Thrace along the shores of
Abe Sea of Marmora, which, seemingly,
is all that the conquerors are at pres-
ent disposed to leave w the vauquish-
ed.
is the meantime the two armies
hold their respective positions. How
Jong this armed truce will be main.
tained, however, will depend on the
terms of peace offered by the League
of the Balkan nations and on whether
the hitherto futile attacks by the Bul-
garians on the Tchatalja lines have in-
spired the Turks with hopes that the
fortunes of war may yet turm in their
favor. .
Reports regarding the conditions
proposed by the allies are conflicting.
It is officially stated in Constantinople
that the agreement of the allies 10 dis.
cuss the terms of aw armistice and the
preliminaries of pease does not siipa-
late any conditions.
Simultaneously with the lull on the
battlefield comes news of a diminu-
tion of tension in the Austro-Servian
dispute by the compliance of Servia
with the demand of the Austrian gov-
ernment for an investigation on the
spot of the complaint made by the
Austrian consul at Prisrend that he
had been hindered by the Servians in
the performance of his duties.
On the other hand, there is nothing
yet to indicate a solution of the ques-
tion of Servia's demand for ports on
the Adriatic sea. If, as is threatened,
she diverts her army, released by the
fall of Monastir, to the country of the
Arnaut tribesmen, her relations with
Austria-Hungary will, it is thought, be
further imperiled.
The Bulgarian premier, M. Gueshoff,
has telegraphed to Kiamil Pasha, the
Turkish grand vizier, the conditions
under which the Bulgars will consent
to an armistice. The allies previously
had announced their readiness to con-
sider the proposition made to them by
Turkey for an armistice, with peace
in view, and this is their answer.
"The allies will not enter Constanti-!
mople if the forts of Tchatalja are
evacuated and four important Turkish
towns are surrendered, according to
reports of the peace conditions,
Adrianople, which has stood out
against Bulgar and Serb since first
the Bulgarians came across the border
at Mustapha Pasha, and where so’
many Turks have lost their lives in’
desperate sallies in the face of galling
artillery fire, where cholera and fam-
ine have been as bitter an enemy of
the Turk as the foe outside his walls,
Scutari, which the Montenegrins are
besieging and have been besieging’
since shortly after they started the!
war, must be given up hy the Turk if
he seeks an armistice, |
Janina, beleagured by the Greeks, |
and Dibra, in Albania, must also be
given up by the Turks. i
Constantinople and the Dardanelles .
are to be left to Turkey.
Opinion in London is not so opti-'
mistic as it is in Paris. It is pointed .
out that Turkey's acceptance of the,
terms laid down by Bulgaria and her |
allies for an armistice is by no means |
certain, especially in view of the suc-
cesses which Nazim Pasha claims in
the defense of the Tchatalja lines,
On othe other hand, the demand of
the allies strictly foilows precedent.
The Russo-Turkish armistice in 1878
provided for the surrender of several
fortresses which were still uncaptured.
The Russians signed an armistice at
Adrianople, and did not have to fight
their way across Southern Thrace, yet Schrank, Who Shot T. R., Is Insane. tive—interesting and full of anextraordinary sense
they claimed and received possession
of the Tchatalja lines.

Wilson Will Call Extra Session.
President-elect Wilson announced
that he will call congress together im |
extraordinary session not later than
April 15 of next year to revise the
tariff.
In his statement, made public in
New York on the eve of his departure |
for a {our weeks’ vacation in Bermuda,
he says that he has determined upon
this courge not only because he was
elected on a platform which declared
for an immediate downward revision
of the tariff schedules, but also be!
cause he feels it is due to the busi
ness interests of the country that they
should be relieved of ali uncertainty
as to what the general purpose of the
incoming administration at Washing:
ton is.
Beyond his bald statement that he
will call an extraordinary session the
president-elect has made no comment
on the situation other than that so far
as he was concerned the pledges of
his party and its platform would be
carried out.
Governor Wilson sailed for Bermuda
on the steamship Bermudian and wil
rest there until Dec. 16. One of his
first acts on arriving in Bermuda wil! |
be to call upon the governor of Ber-
muda and to request him that he be
permitted to spend his time there
without recognition of his official
status, either as governor of New Jer '
sey or as president-elect of the United
States.
