ment intended to refute the claim of

rendered on passenger trains in No-
vember 1909, were: From mall, 3.28

Little righting Has Been Going

LONDON. Dec. 3.«Adrianopie was
the obstacle‘ which threatened to
wreck the Aparleys between the plant-
potentiariea of Turkey and of the
Balkan allies when thdy first opened
at Baghbche on the Tchatlia lines.
and Adrianople appeared again at the
end of the negotiations as the most
serious hindrance to the attainment
of an agreement.
During the first session of the dele-
gates the Turks absolutely refused to
consider the-surrender of Adrianople
and when the Bulgarians subsequently
yielded to them on this point, the
Greek delegates shrank back and de-
manded time in which to submit the
question to their government at Ath-
one.
The reason for the Hellenic objec-
tion to any such inbmission to the
desires of the Ottoman represents-
liveo is not for to fresh. ocean; to
the opinion expressed in diplomatic
circles. It is pointed out that it is
obvious that if the Bulgarians sacri-
llcc the ultimate possession of Ad-
rianoplc in me interests of general
matey will expect their allies to
share their sacrifice and the only way
in which this can b. Mac is to give
Bulgaria compensation in the shape
of territory conquered by the Greeks.

they had stained out {or themselves.
Hence the complaint from Athens
that any couceseiofis to Turkey will
“endanger the fruits of victory gained
by the allies—above all those of
Greece and Sorvla." ’
