I GENERAL WAR IN
I EUROPE AVERTED
mi Political Tangle in 'Balkan Situation Clearing
I! Austria-Hungary Ready to Agree to Settlement
J of Albanian and Servian Questions.
ji DIPLOMATS SEE WAY 10 PRESERVE PEACE
Turks Will Not Submit to Onerous Terms Stum-
g ! r bling Blocks in Way of Agreement Ottomans
Desire to Enter Balkan Federation.
Hi
I London, Nor. 27, The fact that the
European powers have at iast real
ized that they were drifting toward
certain conflict tends to relieve the
immediate tension of the internation
al political tangle into which the Bal
kan situation has now developed.
The belief that Great Britain. Ger
many and France wlil succeed In
averting the threatened general Eu
ropean war has been strengthened
within the last 24 hours.
It Is now asserted that Austria
Hungary Is prepared to agree to the
questions concerning the future of
Albania and the desire of Servla for
a port on the Adriatic sea being set
tled in connection with nil other Is
sues caused by the Balkan war, as
was recently proposed by Premier As
quith. If this change o tbe Austro
Hungarian attitude should be con
firmed, iho dangerous pressure at
A present existing "nill be removed.
!! Diplomats See Way Clear.
' Diplomats declare they see plenty
of methods of meeting the require
ments of Servla without seriously
Inconveniencing Austria-Hungary or
burying the formula of "Albania for
the Albanians."
Even the occupation of the port of
Durazzo by the Servian troops will
I not necessarily change the Interna-
tlonal situation, as It Is a long step
from the present occupation to re
tention of the port by the Servians,
which Is a question that could bo
settled only by an agreement of tho
' union of the powers.
Turks Arc Stubborn.
" The stunibling block in the way
mt of an agreement by the envoys of
Sk Turkey and Bulgaria, who are now
- discussing peace in parlor car at the
K village of Baghtche, near the Tcha-
v talja linos, remain very real. The
K Turks appear to show little disposl-
B tion to submit to onerous terms. The
m negotiations are likely to continue
for several days.
The French assertion that Au6trla-
Hungary is urging the Ottoman gov
B. ernment to prolong the war Is de-
scribed in a semi-official communi
B cation Issued In Vienna as a "niall
B cious invention circulated with the
B object of injuring Austria-Hungary
B in the eyes of the Balkan peoples."
HI Tho report Is circulating again in
fjpSfr Sofia that Turkey desires to enter
IS the Balkan federation. It Is assert
H? ed that she has already made certain
mi advances In this direction in the way
B of proposals to the allied Balkan
Ijl states.

KING FERDINAND
VISITS WOUNDED
London, Nov. 27. Negotiations for
an armistice will begin tomorrow
when the delegates will hold their de
liberations In a railway carriage at
Tchatalja, a Sofia dispatch to the
Times sa8, under date of Nov 2G
The prospects of a successful Issue
of iho negotiations perhaps are Im
proved owing to the portc'a vigorous
measures against tho Young Turks I
have reason to believe that tho allies
will Insist upon complete evacuation
of Albania by the Turks, whose pres
ence there is as little desired by the
Albanians themselves as the Greeks,
Servians and Montenegrins.
While King Ferdinand was visiting
the wounded at Jatnholi on Saturday

the army would bo allowed the sntls
faction of marching Into Constanti
nople. The king, observing tears In the of
