Warships of the Power s Will Guard Christians. Living in Constanipole Generally Believed That Bulgaria, Will Refuse to Listen to Propo: Confident in Victory, Powers for Peaceful Conclusion of War at Present Stage Turkey Must Appeal Directly to The Bal- kan Allies, ( . A. P. Cable) London, Nov. 4. The Turkish army is in full retreat on Constantinople and the Turkish Government has ask- ed the Powers to intervene. An of- ficial bulletin was issued by the Government at Constantinople last night, admitting defeat at the hands of the Bulgarians at the great bat- tle on the Thranhuan Plains. AD- plication was made at the embassies in Constantinople last night to end the war and arrange a peace agree- ment. Th ambassadors, prior to this, had asked the Porte to grant permision to each of the Great Powers to send one warship through the Dardanelles and this request has been complied with. Warships Are Needed. The only guarantee of safety for the native Christians and perhaps the foreigners in Constantinople is to be found in the presence of the warships of the Great Powers in the harbor the Turkish. capital. It 1s: the general belief that Bul- gariz will refuse, to listen to anything in the way of intervention until the Bulgarian army is at the gates of Constentinople, and will insist that Turkey make an appeal to the Allies without Interference from the Pow- ers. Informs Sir Edward Grey London, Nov. 4 The Turkish am- passador here has been directed by the Ottoman Government to inform Great Britain of the willingness of Turkey to receive a sistance in bring- ing about a suspension of hostilities with a view of arriving at a peace settlement, Tewfik Pasha, immed- fately on receipt of the communic: tion from Constantinople, went to the Foreign Office and conferred with Sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign Minister, for two hours.

Berlin, Noy. 4 The Italian Foreign Minister, Marquis ai San Guiliano, has arrived Here, and has had several conferences with the Imperial Chan- cellor, Dr. Von: Bethmann-Hollewegs. These were primarily intended to deal with: the general relations of Ger- many, Austria-Hungary and Italian affairs, but were devoted almost ex- Clusively to the question of interven- tion in the Balkan war.

The Committee brought a copy of the newly drafted agreement back with them tut the couticil will not touch or deal with it in any way un- til they have received the copy back from Montr al.

London, Nov.. 4 The Balkan na- tions and Greece, are persistent in their determination that Turkex must arrange directly with them the terms of peace without the interveption of European powers, This attitude 1s emphasized in a statement from of- ficial sources which says: The Tur- kish proposal of peace is satisfactory in so far as it shows a desire to pre- vent further bloodshed. As regards foreign intervention, however there seems to be no chance of the Balkan states listening to any foreign coun- clls while treating for the arrange ment of the conditions of peace, Must Settle Directly These must be settled between the Balkan states and Turkey, directly. It may at this stage be declared that the whole campaign wa pre-arrnged and has so far been earried out en- tirely in accordance with the pro gramme. For a cofsiderable time past an officer of the Greek military staff, Col. Doudmanis, was engaged at Sofia preparing the military de- tails, while the political programme: was almost entirely the- work- of Premier Venizelos, of Greece. The union of the Balkan states at this stage is more close, hearty and) intimate than it ever has been, for it has been welded by blood and com- mon sacrifice, There is not: the Teast danger that any disagreenient as. to the division of-territery or the posi- tion of. the frontier will disturb, it. Will Stil Follow Plan. Tt must be assumed, in as much as the details.of the campaign were arranged with the-greatest care, the same procedure will be followed, both as to the-conchision of hostilities and subsequent political considerations. Berlin, Nov. 4, Germany and Aus- tria will not join in intervention in the Balkans without a request to take such a step coming directly from one of the, belligerents. The German Foreign Office has recelved no con- firmation of the report that Turkey has asked the powers to mediate. Prisoners In Rags, Belgrade, Servia, Nov. 4 A batch of prisoners numbering 1,360, chiefly Arnaut tribesmen and other irre lars, captured by the Servian troops in Macedonia, arrived here today un- der escort.

Those powers thus far consulted have responded to the Turkish appeal for mediation by declaring that they could make only proposals for peace and could not ap- proach the Balkan nations:with a re- quest for an armistice. Some of the Governments. have pointed out that Turkey's proposal for a cessation of hostilities, in other words, an armis- tice, would offend the Balkan victors, Other Governments take the position that it would be an infirngement of therefore, the war must continue and has at last admitted have been beat- en, must keep on with their unequal struggle fgainst the victorious in- vaders, It1s hoped and believed stilt that the powers will soon find a form under which they can offer thelr good offices, Wishes No Hindrance. ed that no interference from the out- Side will be tolerated.
