and retreat to Brusa.
The opinion is gaining ground that
the differences of the*pi wem asay bring
about a European war, by which Tur?
key would profit and b.v Which she
might re-establish her position. If ?he

that the new troops from the Black Sea
and also the former army of Thrace
be given a chance to fight."
The correspondent of "The Standard'
f-uys that some of the English and
American residents are making ln
trenchmenta on the hill where the Rob?
ert College, an American Institution,
stands. They intend to take refuge
there If necessary.
To-day," adds the correspondent,
"Constantinople wore its customary
Sunday aspect, and orderly crowds
thronged the streete."
Turkey Playa far Time.
There is no confirmation of the report
thai the Turkish government has
opened direct negotiations with the ai?
lle?. Turkey's Immediate object ap
pean to be to gain time, hoping for
something from the rivalries o?' the
European nawera. She is also making
urgent diplomatic efforts to prevent the
Bulgarian troops from entering Con?
stantinople. In this connection there is
an idea prevalent in Sofia that some
important diplomatic action is afoot to
this end.
Several of the leading British resi?
dents of Constantinople hare sent a
statement to the London press protest?
ing against "the unwarrantably alarm?
ing statement? mads in the British
newspapers rejrardln* the danger in the
Turkish capita!."
The protest continues: "These re?
ports are greatly exaggerated. The
government measures are nuite satis?
factory, and since the outbreak sf the
war order has been maintained and aM
(lasses have behaved admirsbly."
A Turkish squadron has bombarded
Ancantil. near Rodosto. on the Sea of
Marmora, where the Bulgarians had
planted a battery.
An Odessa dispatch says that a Turk?
ish commission has arrived there and is
buying up huge quantities of foodstuffs
for Imm?diate shipment to the Bos?
porus The Odesea authorlMse at first
demurred to purchases by a belligerent
power, but accepted the commission's
assurance that the commodities were
not for the war eoramisarlat, but for
public consumption In Constantinople,
which was threatened by famine. ^
Question of Albania.
With regard to the difficulty be?
tween Servia and Auatria, the Vienna
"Relchapost." in denying that any com?
mon action by the Triple Alliance In
Belgrade is intended, says that Austria
has no egotistical plans regarding Al?
bania, bvit is only anxious to preserve
Albanian national and political free?
dom, and in this object has the sup
1 ort of Germany and Italy. But, the
paper adds, the mere assurance by Ser?
via that she would not fortify her har?
bor on the Adriatic would give little
rity, and h*r passage through Al?
bania to the coast cannot be conceded
According SO an inspired statement,
the view of the Balkan allies is that i?n
autonomous Albania, instead of con?
tributing to the peace of the Balkans,
would be a source of perpetual trouble
and disorder among the Albanian peo?
ple themselves, who have never been
independent, have no national feeling
and are of various religious faiths and
nationalities, with no common lan?
guage, not even a common alphabet,
and do not form a homogeneous unit, i
These disorders, it is urged, would in- |
evltahly spread to the surrounding
states, and instead of a permanent set
tlement Europe would be left with a
troublesome Albanian question on her '
hands
Some idea of the bloody nature of
this war may be formed from th*? fact
that it is now estimated that 15X1,000
men have been put out of action on
both sides since the opening of hostili?
ties.

FIVE POWERS OFFER
MEDIATION TO ALLIES
Austria Stands Aloof from Proffered Good
Offices, but Balkan Powers, It Is
Believed, Will Send Refusal.
Paris, Nov. 11.?According to a Sofia
dispatch to "L? Journal." the powers,
with the exception of Austria, have
presented a Joint note to the Bulgarian
government offering mediation. The
government accepted the note, but as
yet has made no r?ply, and, It Is un?
derstood, will decline the offer.
Dispatches received here yestsrday
say that a great battle is being fought
around Tchataldja. and that the Bul?
garian government will do nothing un?
til that has been decided. It is pointed
out that the army cannot he left to

TURKS AT TCHATALDJA
FOUNDS SORRY PLIGHT
No Camp, No Food, No Organi?
zation at Much Vaunted Im?
pregnable Defence Linea.
Ixndon, Nov. 11?A sorry picture of
the conditions at Tchataldja is given
by a correspondent of "The Dally Tele?
graph," who arrived at Constantinople
on Thursday, after riding several days
from Tchorlu with the retreating Turk?
ish army He send? the following dis?
patch via Constanza:
"Never for ? single mile had there
beta | break in the endless chain of
retreating soldiers and refugees We
had not seen a single regiment, a sin?
gle battery, a slnKb- company of organ?
ized Holriers. We had only seen men
without arm?, without food, without
morale, and whose officers seemed to
have completely disappeared.
"I do not think that the Turks had
even taken the trouble to blow up the
railway lite behind them. When we
neared Tchataldja our spirits roue, as
we heard on all sides that it was an
Impregnable position. Surely here ths
retreat would cease; we would find an
army prepared to make a last stand fer
Islam.
"We realised that our hopes were
vain when, three miles from Tcha?
taldja, we found a village In flames
and the soldiers looting It for food.
Tchataldja itself was deserted. There
were no signs of an army, no signs
of a camp, no signs of a fortified po?
sition and no supplies of food.
"At Hademkeul there were one or
two forts armed with obsolete guns;
there were 4,0t*> troop?, a majority of
which were wandering about the vil?
lage in h semi-starved condition, el
though onlv twentv miles from Con?
stantinople."
TURKISH FLIGHT EAST
Villages Burned in Europe May
Be Rebuilt in Asia
London, Nov. 11.??"One thing con?
nected with this campaign reoslls the
Dark and Middle ages." says the Con?
stantinople correspondent of "The
Morning Tost." "This headlong flight'
of the population eastward and south?
ward Is no ordinary fugitlvee' flight
from home scenes, to which they will
return. I do not believe that they can
or will return to Thrace.
"There is. and has been for a week,
no one beyond Tchorlu. The hordes
seem to have fallen hack toward Con?
stantinople by instinct, as they came
across from Asia Minor centuries ago
and advanced toward Budapest and
Vienna by instinct Now their vil?
lages have all been burned and they
will erect villages on the other side of
the Bosporus. It will be surprising If
such a home is not found for them by
the Constantinople government Their
existence under the walls of the capital
will certainly have an untoward effect
on Its population, snd hardly seems
sdvlseble In the Interest of any one."

Vienna, Nov. 10.- The correspondent

The monarchy Is only anxious to pre?

WAR TALK ON THUS
Fear of European Complications
Holds Market Prices Back.
CONSOLS GAIN STEADILY
Pressure to Sell Pa?ses Off, but
Inclination to Take New
Risks Is Small.
TBy Cabl* to Th? Tribune]
London, Nov. 10.?Buslnese wes very
quiet on the Stock Exchange during
the latter half of laat week, hut the re?
sult of the Presidential election sent
up prices in New York, and London re?
sponded by following the lead thus
given. Even the Continental bouraea
reaponded to aome extent. The rlae In
London was not confined to Americans,
many other securities benefiting from
the better feeling. Even consols have
been advancing for aome daya.
The unbroken series of victories in
the Balkan States has been bringing
about a conviction in the public mind,
on the Continent aa well aa here, that
no great power will venture to incur?
the hostility of the rising atatea by at?
tempting to prevent them reaping the
reaults of their succeaeas, and the
speech of Emperor Francis Joseph, aa
well as other official statements, tg
taken to show that the inference is not
wrong.
Therefore, we are likely to see a con
tlnwance of the upward movement, al?
though there continues to be a doubt
reapecting the intentions of Austria It
seems incredible that Austria would
risk the peace of the world by putting '
forward any utterly unreaeonable de
mande Ht til. the doubt ?sirte, and
until It Is laid there will probably he
some hesitation on the bourses here to
Increase the bull account very much.
When the fear of a European war la
finally awept away, however, financiera
look for a great outburst of activity, a
revival which will continue through the
coming year.
All over the Continent the preaaure to
sell passed off. and hopes are growing;
every day that an extension of the wsr
will be avoided, but at the same time
the more people ponder on the prob- j
lems raiaed by the struggle the lees dis- i
posed they becom? to engage In new
risks. There is. therefore, dulness
everywhere.
Money during the week was very
eaay in London, with the result that
the outside market practically paid off
Ita debt to the Bank of England. The '
market Is now putting pressure on the ?
hanks to lower their rates for short i
money. Far some weeks there la likely ;
to be less preasure in the money mar- ;
kets all over the world than haa been
the caae recently.
Call money Is now 3 to Sty per cent
and weekly fixtures 8*4 per cent.
Bankers worked a little more freer? In
the discount market laat week, and
ratea eased off to 4\ per cent for three
months and 4H for six months.
