Dec, t> - Oreece is atlll ataad? ins out tTtm the armisthc. but it is ainad both from Sotia and Athens ihis aeparate actkoa is undertahen l,i atTcenicnt with the allies, in ordef to prevent Turkey from profiting from (he OIBsietice to im.'.rovc her militai". position. An uncontlrmed roport from Athena 8a>s that the lirecks are continuing their operatioiis against Yanina. l.ui daewhere ordcrs have been raoofvod to aaaji hostilities. The raporta current yeaterday .n some qaartera that arrangaiiienta h;ni t.cen nade for the rat Ictualllag of the besieged garrisons appaar to have been inaccurate. Provisioning will not begin untii the peace ooafaranca has oparied. The Rulgarian governrnent newspaper, "Mir," ln another editorial to-day Ui lates on the advantages to Turkey of a good undcrstanding with Bulgaria. It declares that Turkey s salvation lles not in continuing the war but in seek ing a rapprochement with Bulgaria. The dispute hetween Austrla-Hun gary and Servia will have been steered into a safe channel and the peace of Europe will be maintained if, as was announced yesterday, Servia has definltely decided to leave her case in the hands of the great powers. With the adhesion of Austria-Hun |ary, the proposal of Sir Kdward Grey. the British Foreign Secretary, to call a meeting of the ambassadorial clear ing house has now received practically unanimous welcome. There seems lo be a general disposition to-day to itrive honestly to prevent lurthcr rompllcations ariaing from the clash between Turkey and the Balkan allies. The Mintenegrin delegates to the peace confr'rence are former Premier Miyuskovich, M. Popovich, formcr Montenegrin Ministtr in GonHtantl nopie. and C'oint Voynovlch, chief of thf King's Cabinet. The Servian delegates are G. Nova kvvMi, of the Treasury Department; A. Xikolich. .Speaker of th? S^rvian Parliament. and General Beyovich. The Hclgrade correspondent of "The Daily Telegraph" in a dlspatch says: Little Importance if attached here to Greece's une.xplained failurc to sign ;he armi.stice. The opinion is rxpressed lhat Greece is Jnc.ipable of any st rlous mllitary action.
